Zhang Miao, 36 years old, works the night shift in Tianjin for thirteen years.
In the early hours of that morning, a crack opened in the garage floor, and a dark thing crawled out from the ground.
He thought it was a hallucination. Even if your fingers are on fire, you can't put it out.
Until the Authority came to his door and told him that the world was ten thousand times bigger than what he saw.
Rift, alien core, superpower—he had never heard of these words. But there was a mark on the palm of his hand that would get hot every time he came near the crack.
After absorbing the alien core, his flames changed from orange-red to orange-white. But the price is - life is burning.
What's even more frightening is that he found that his body was changing: non-human textures appeared on his arms, and a voice came from his bones - "Come back."
Human beings do not come down from trees.
Human beings came out of the earth.
What Nuwa makes up is not the sky, but the earth. The Book of Mountains and Seas records not mountains and seas, but a log of surface exploration.
All ancient civilizations suddenly disappeared because - they sank back into the ground.
Zhang Miao didn't know the price of these truths. But he knows one thing:
He can choose to kneel or not.
He chose not to kneel.
