The day Jian Xinjue, Earth's last Zombie King, was sent away, humanity rejoiced and set off the very last string of firecrackers!
But to their surprise, the next day they saw him again, on the giant screen in Central Square...
Watching Jian Xinjue command countless zombies, keeping people from another world penned up as food and treating them as beasts of burden, humanity gritted its teeth in fury, powerless to do anything!
But after a while, people realized something was off.
How had that other world, once choked with toxic miasma, barren of all vegetation and littered with starving corpses, become a place of well-connected roads where chickens crowed and dogs barked?
Some time later...
How had that other world become modernized?
Humanity: How is this Zombie King's infrastructure development faster than rebuilding Earth?
Later, Jian Xinjue's livestream became a hit. Even top research scientists tuned in at set times to learn from him, holding his broadcasts in the highest regard.
But even as people watched, they remained quite calm. After all, no matter how powerful Jian Xinjue was, he was trapped in another world now, wasn't he? It wasn't as if he could return to Earth.
Until one day, Jian Xinjue opened a space-time portal. People watched him return to Earth...
!?
King Jian? Your Majesty? Please, take the throne!

On the very first day Jian Xinjue arrived in their world, its inhabitants were plunged into deep terror. Even the soldiers who had always fought bravely and feared no danger stared in despair, their eyes red.
But to their surprise, the next day they were led to a pristine land...
The people of the other world watched the Zombie King calm a zombie horde with a wave of his hand. They were in awe of him, afraid of him, and wary of him.
But after a while, all of them changed.
The children, once little more than skin and bones, regained their innocence and chattered around Jian Xinjue every day.
The women, once gaunt and sallow, regained their beauty and worked tirelessly to manage the base.
The soldiers changed, too. As they looked at their wives and children, their eyes filled with hope!
Even in the apocalypse, they now had a safe home. And they owed it all to Mr. Jian!
Reader's Guide:
1. There are many characters with unrequited feelings for the male lead, but the romance develops a tiny bit slowly.
2. This is my take on an infrastructure-building story. The golden finger is ridiculously powerful, and everything in the plot is geared toward wish fulfillment.
3. Background: Both Earth and the other world are in the apocalypse. After Earth sends the male lead away, its apocalypse ends. After the male lead arrives, the apocalypse in the other world enters its middle stage.
Theme: Things are only truly good when they're good for everyone
