Prologue to the Dust-Calamity

[High martial arts] [Spiritual qi revival] [Wasteland] [Transmigration]

The Calamity passed.

The Old Gods died.

In 2026, Ye Yu and Cao Xian vanished from an ordinary university classroom.

When they awoke, human civilization had long since changed beyond recognition.

Numbered barriers had replaced cities, the wilderness had swallowed the land again, and the oceans had become forbidden zones no one dared to enter.

But humanity had not regressed into barbarism.

People rebuilt cities, paved roads, developed technology, and began studying the extraordinary phenomena that had truly emerged only after the catastrophe.

Some awakened their own powers.

Some followed the legacy left behind.

Others forged their own ancient ways from the accumulated knowledge of thousands of years of civilization.

Swordsmanship could become a path.

Medicine could become a path.

Flood control, casting, algorithms, literature, rites, music, even "how to judge a person" could all become a true path one could follow.

At first, all they wanted to know was:

Why had they transmigrated?

What exactly had gone wrong at Barrier 66?

Where had the six-person squad that disappeared three years ago gone?

And how had the message that appeared on their terminal crossed three years to reach them?

But as they journeyed farther outward, they gradually discovered that...

What had ended three hundred years ago was only the old civilization.

Some paths had never truly reached their end.
