Shen Yan, a former bridge structural engineer, died in a second collapse of a cross-river bridge caused by a flash flood when he entered the danger zone in order to confirm the location of the last school bus. When he woke up again, he became a mine slave who was about to be exterminated in the black stone mine in Xuanming Realm.
This world uses spiritual energy as its blood, sect as its bones, and dynasty as its skin. Practitioners seize the fortune of heaven and earth, mortals look up to the immortal gate to breathe, and the "Tian Heng" hanging high above the heads of all living beings will bring down a catastrophe every three hundred years, taking away a group of people who are the most powerful and most likely to resist it in the world.
Shen Yan has no system and no inexhaustible divine power. He has only one dangerous ability: to see how things bear force and where they break. Rock formations, formations, meridians, oaths, systems and the way of heaven all have their own "cracks" in his eyes. But every time he peeks beyond the level, it comes at the cost of a memory of his past life.
At first he just wanted to survive, then he wanted to bring a few people to survive, and then he had to answer a question:
If this world is destined to collapse, should we escape or stay to hold it up?
