Age of Catastrophe: Echoes of the Abyss

In 2349 AD, a sudden "spiritual disaster" swept across the world. Scarlet cracks opened in the sky, and a strange "spiritual mist" filled the earth. Spiritual mist can not only enable some humans to awaken fantasy powers (called "psychics"), but also transform living creatures into violent "spiritual bodies". It can also corrode the minds of ordinary humans and trigger collective madness. In just three months, the global population dropped by 70%, the civilized order collapsed, and the remaining humans gathered in a few "barrier city-states" protected by the "Spiritual Crystal Array" to survive. As time goes by, the spiritual disaster not only does not subside, but becomes more and more strange: some corroded spirit bodies begin to show wisdom, and the spiritual crystal arrays of the barrier city-state frequently experience unknown malfunctions. Rumors that "the spiritual disaster is not a natural disaster" gradually spread among the awakened people, and those who explore deep into the "abandoned area" filled with spiritual mist often bring back horrifying rumors about the "whispers of the abyss" and "ancient altars".
