Otherworldly beasts tear into the world, and only those chosen by the gods can awaken divine blessings and supernatural abilities.
Chu An wields the rare divine blessing of temporal rewind, allowing him to turn back the surrounding timeline by ten minutes. The price is constant mental strain and a high risk of becoming lost in temporal illusions.
As he tackles one Ruin Realm dungeon after another, he faces attacks by swarms of alien beasts and clashes between those chosen by the gods. He meets Jiu Si and Shen Chuxia, then follows clues in the damaged files of an archive room. To his horror, he discovers that the gods' selection of their chosen conceals a conspiracy, and that the arrival of the alien beasts is part of the gods' plan.
When his prediction comes true and, two or three years later, humanity's settlements teeter on the brink of total collapse, Chu An stops relying on rewind merely to protect himself. Joining forces with his companions, he ventures into secret realms, exposes deceptions, and fights the gods manipulating everything from behind the scenes. With the power over time in his hands, he fights to reclaim humanity's daylight in a Ruin Realm plunged into despair.
