The Collapse of the Past: a Song That Cannot Be Directed

The male protagonist Gu Shen has a precognitive dream three days before the end, and the world in the dream becomes a purgatory of flesh and blood. He did not hesitate to bear the name of a madman, sold his belongings, and hoarded heavy weapons and supplies. The world laughs at his madness, but he alone is sober. At midnight on the third day, the old world collapsed, black rain fell from the sky, the dead came back to life, and the living mutated. Gu Shen relied on preparation and memories from dreams to survive the first wave of madness in his own fortress. At this time, he discovered that he did not mutate like ordinary people, but could instead "look directly" at those indescribable things, analyze their rules, and draw strength (power of cognition). While searching for supplies, he rescued the heroine Su Qing, a neurobiology researcher. Su Qing's research became the key to understanding the "mutation period". The two join hands to survive in the ruins, fight against their families, and fight against the madness inside. As the "mutation period" progresses, Gu Shen faces watersheds again and again: Should he retain his humanity, or give up his body for strength? He chose a difficult path - to reshape perfection through distortion. In the end, he faced the ancient gods and played a song that cannot be looked at directly in his mortal body.
