The Era Arrives: I Choose Judgment

In 2052, the game data from The Gate of Epoch devours reality, plunging the world into an apocalypse. While sorting through his younger sister's belongings, retired special forces soldier Pang Zhihuan discovers that her death is connected to human experiments conducted by a mysterious company called Deep Blue. In the monster-infested ruins, Pang Zhihuan unexpectedly awakens the S-rank talent “Judgment” and sets out on a blood-soaked path of revenge for his sister.

From hunting mutant beasts and fighting off marauders to building a base and resisting a worldwide manhunt by Deep Blue, Pang Zhihuan grows ever stronger. When fragments of his sister's soul reveal that the game world is actually a selection experiment conducted by a higher civilization, his fight evolves from personal revenge into a battle for humanity's survival. He destroys Deep Blue's headquarters, unites the survivor factions, and fights off an invasion from another dimension, ultimately leading humanity into a new era where the game and reality merge.

But peace never lasts. From abyssal rifts to extraterrestrial threats, Pang Zhihuan rises to the challenge time and again, growing from Earth's guardian into a keeper of order across the stars. After passing on the will of “Judgment” to his successors and his sister's reincarnation, his figure finally merges with the stars of the universe, becoming an immortal legend: the story of how one ordinary man wielded his will as a blade to pass judgment on a future where hope would endure, for the sake of those he loved and countless living beings.
