This is not a return to the age of myth, but the ultimate judgment of the universe on civilization.
When archaeological graduate student Lu Chen touched the mysterious stone lock in Sanxingdui, he didn't know that he had grasped the switch of the countdown to doomsday. The revival of spiritual energy is sweeping the world, but what it brings is not the prosperous age of immortality - cities are reduced to ruins, relatives and friends are alienated into monsters, and the ancient "ruins" are eroding reality.
In this cosmic format known as the "Return to Ruins Tide", Lu Chen discovered that spiritual energy was actually a deadly "high-dimensional medium". The faster you practice, the greater the risk that your "humanity" will be eroded by your "divinity", and you will eventually become a beast that only knows how to kill. And the stone lock mark on his palm is actually a fragment of the "stabilizer" that the previous civilization spent all its efforts to build.
Faced with the "Heaven" who believed in "the strong is respected" and the "Guiyi Sect" who worshiped the origin of "Xu", Lu Chen and his partners embarked on a path of exploration full of thorns. Military doctor Lin Xiaoyue uses "life weaving" to protect the warmth of human nature, programmer Chen Hao uses "data-based vision" to analyze the cultivation codes, and the Taoist Xuan Yi, who is both good and evil, guides the secrets inherited from ancient times.
From the secret realm of Qingcheng to the Trench of Silence, from the shadow of Kunlun Ruins to the final battle, Lu Chen gradually revealed the cruel truth: the so-called ascension is a trap, and the realm of true immortals is the food of the Ruins. Humanity must find a third way between divinity and humanity—retaining the fire of science and technology while continuing to practice the righteous path, and gathering the last light of civilization before the ruin tide destroys the world.
When the old world collapses in the tide of ruins, how will the dawn of a new civilization rise? This is an ultimate exploration related to the survival of mankind.
