The Mortal World Rises

When Yuan Huan rushed out of the lecture theater with his textbooks under his arm, he was still the ordinary college student worrying about the final exam. Until he picked up the dusty bronze ring in the basement of the city library, the gears of fate turned quietly. The ring dragged him into a bloody wilderness. This was an alien world where cultivation civilization and future technology coexisted. Starship wreckage was scattered next to the cave where ancient cultivators meditated. With his tough will and modern knowledge tempered by the ring, Yuan is still struggling to survive on the border where resources are scarce. He witnessed the sect disciples fighting each other for the psychic chip, and also saw the genetically modified warriors being swallowed up by the ancient formation. In this world where strength is respected, he restrains his edge, accumulates strength while walking on thin ice, and turns every crisis into an opportunity. When he returned to the city with his initial mastery of supernatural powers, he found that the barrier between the two worlds was crumbling. The dormant ancient orthodoxy has quietly penetrated the modern order, and the Imperial reconnaissance ship has appeared in low-Earth orbit. Yuan still stands at the center of the whirlpool where two civilizations collide. His choice will determine the fate of countless parallel worlds.
