Is It Funny That I Became a Villain After Failing to Ascend?

A thousand years ago, the Calamity of World Destruction took place.

Evil demons invaded, the world collapsed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dried up, and humanity could only struggle to survive. Thus began the Age of the End of Magic.

A thousand years later, Chen Changjiu successfully survived his tribulation and ascended, but encountered a minor problem at the final moment: his path collapsed, and he died.
