Lin Xu, a mine slave, has a “Seed of Ten Thousand Ruins” sleeping within him, a power even the gods fear.
In a world where ruin-force reigns supreme, he is widely dismissed as a useless “ruin-force null.” He scrapes by deep beneath a mine pit that plunges ten thousand yards. Then the night of the blood sacrifice arrives and an ancient blood corpse awakens. Driven to the brink, he turns the tables on gods and demons, only to learn that he is the last “spark of civilization” from the Era of Annihilation.
To find his missing father and unravel the mystery of his origins, he embarks on a path to devour the Ten Thousand Ruins. The Maze City of Time, the Abyss of the Heart Ruin, the Sea of Returning Ruins… Beneath the wreckage lies the truth of reincarnation: the rise and fall of so-called eras are nothing more than the eternal breathing of a lonely ruin-beast.
The Sect of Broken Ages seeks to slay the gods and break the cycle, while the Alliance of Ruin Guardians swears to uphold the established order at any cost. Lin Xu chooses a third path: he walks toward the lonely will at the edge of the starry sky and reaches out both hands.
“If eternity is destined to be lonely, I will share this endless stretch of time with you.”
From then on, the ruin-force networks of myriad worlds are connected. Mechanical civilizations and cultivation sects sit together over drinks, and emotion becomes the highest form of power. In the depths of the starry sky, a gentle giant beast and a boy who is half of it quietly protect this new era, which has finally learned to “coexist.”
