Fast pace+Apocalypse
Shen Jiyuan slept for one hundred and twenty-seven years.
When he wakes up, the world has been corrupted by the breath of the gods. Gray mist engulfed the earth, families roamed the ruins, and humans huddled in underground fortresses, using the remaining embers of technology to survive. He lost everything - his teammates, his home, the girl who promised to always be there for him. He only had three pieces of yellowed rough-edged paper left in his pocket, with the names of two people written on them, side by side, and the ink stains were almost blurred by the years.
In order to get her back, he swallowed the monster's flesh and blood and embarked on a broken path to becoming a god. He joins Ember, an organization composed of lunatics, fools, and those who rebel against God. Together with the natural disasters of the fire path, the suture nuns, and the swordsmen wrapped around giant snakes, they ignite the first fire belonging to mankind in this land abandoned by God.
But what awaits him at the end of the road is not a reunion.
Her smile is a hook woven with lies. His love is a script written by others. When he finally walked in front of her, all the losses, all the sacrifices, all the burning - all pointed to the same truth: his life was just a chessboard for two gods to play.
The only things he truly owned were the people on the chessboard who were willing to die for him, and the warmth of the three pieces of paper in his pocket.
What's left in the ashes?
All that's left is a bunch of madmen, a gun, and a fire that burns from the bones and refuses to go out.
