[Post-apocalyptic wasteland] [One female lead] [Special abilities and hand seals] [Decisive and ruthless] [Low-key, not a bleeding heart] [Classic of Mountains and Seas]
In another world, Blue Star was struck by the apocalypse, and spiritual energy grew scarce.
More than fifty years later, humans and demons ruled the land together, while fiends, ghosts, and other horrors occupied the wasteland inferno.
Jiang Lin transmigrated into this world. A top student at Spring City University, he was assigned to a quiet museum.
Everyone laughed at him as a good-for-nothing who had failed to awaken his talent, doomed to spend his life guarding junk and waiting to die.
That was until he wiped the dust from an old orange Tang sword in a display case, and his fingertips shattered an ancient seal.
A white figure drifted out. A chatty barefoot girl looked at him.
“I was suffocating in there! Hey, kid, want to make a pact? I’m an ancient great demon!”
Once the pact was sealed, his dormant ability fully awakened!
[Myriad Phenomena Denial]: He can reject any phenomenon he refuses to accept.
Poison spreading through his body? Denied, purified on the spot.
An illusion trying to seize his mind? Denied, and turned back on its caster.
Baleful energy corroding his body? Denied, without so much as a scratch.
The demon spirit said:
“You do the fighting, I’ll yell when it’s time to run! If things get really bad, we can always hide in the museum for a couple of days!”
But as he left the safety zone, crossed the buffer zone, and ventured deep into the infernal battlefield, layer after layer of ancient secrets came to light:
The history of the five races ruling together, the truth about the Netherworld, a criminal clan banished for ten thousand years, and the seal beneath the museum’s foundations, which had suppressed something for tens of thousands of years.
It turned out this apocalypse had never been a simple invasion by otherworldly races.
