The Era of the Dragon's Return

At 2:33 p.m. on August 12, 2026, during a total solar eclipse, an ordinary celestial event in which the Moon should have been the only thing blocking the Sun took a turn when an unknown cosmic gravitational wave entered the solar system, triggering global gravitational anomalies. Those 7.3 seconds when the world went “offline” tore open the barrier between reality and an unknown dimension. Eastern dragons appeared, ancient demons awoke, and Earth’s magnetic field underwent drastic changes. At the same time, radiation loosened the locks on the human genome. Some people awakened supernatural abilities, while others mutated into monsters, and the world order collapsed overnight. Amid the catastrophe, retired special forces soldier Long Zhan and paleontology PhD Su Xi each awakened a power unseen in ten thousand years: the “Ancestral Dragon Sacred Body” and the “Myriad Forms Spirit Eye.” From strangers thrown together to comrades fighting side by side, from mutual suspicion to pledging their lives to each other, they carved out a path to survival through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In the end, they uncovered the truth behind the disaster: this was no natural calamity, but the ultimate clash between ancient gods and demons and the destiny of humanity, unleashed when an ancient seal began to weaken.
