Chaos Reversed: The Barren Ruins

The ages have withered away, and Heaven and Earth have returned to the void.

Every thousand years, this world is struck by the "Desolation Ruin Collapse."

The ancient Dao crumbles, the mighty are buried, and every truth, sin, and glory in the world is covered by desolate dust and erased into nothingness.

Everyone knows the Desolation Ruin as an apocalyptic calamity. Only Shen Changqing understands:

The Desolation Ruin is not destruction. It is a prison built by the Heavenly Dao to erase reincarnation and cleanse away those from the past.

He is one of the few who has survived countless cycles of ruin.

Every time Heaven and Earth are reset, his memories are stripped away, his cultivation shattered, and he is cast back into the mortal world, forced to relive the doomed fate laid out for him.

The world cultivates the Dao to fight for immortality, the throne, and the Great Dao.

He alone cultivates only to break through the Desolation, shatter the Ruin, and defy the fate ordained by Heaven.

When the remnant souls sealed away for nine lifetimes awaken, and the ancient truths beneath the Desolation Ruin gradually come to light,

In this life, he will no longer submit to the Heavenly Dao's cycle of reincarnation.

With his battered bones, he will hold up the Desolation Ruin that has crumbled across the ages,

Return against Heaven's will and reshape the world.
