The gods are dead and strange beasts are rampant.
After the catastrophe that later generations called "The Hidden Gods", all the gods recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" disappeared, leaving only strange beasts that had lost their restraints.
They are no longer embellishments in mythology, but walking natural disasters, creeping plagues, and silent madness.
When Zhulong opened his eyes, he saw eternal daylight and scorched earth.
The nine-tailed fox spoke, and the person close to him drew his sword.
Wherever the Queen Mother of the West passes, the creatures are no longer creatures, but containers for spreading viruses.
Although the snake is dead, its bones are still digesting everything that comes close to it.
Human beings huddle in high walls and shelters, feeding the surviving civilization with fear.
But there is a group of people who want to go into the wilderness.
They are not warriors who hunt exotic beasts, but madmen and scholars who try to deconstruct all of this with reason.
They call themselves "deconstructors."
Their creed: understand, not conquer. To coexist, not to destroy.
Gu Linshen was once the youngest genius among them.
Until seven years ago, he personally destroyed the entire team he led.
Now, he is just a loser who gets drunk in the shelter tavern.
Until a "dead man" returns from the bones of the snake.
That man had the exact same face as his teammate who disappeared seven years ago.
Exactly the same voice.
Exactly the same memory.
Just the sound of heartbeat——
Like the echo of the abyss.
