To rise from defeat; to revive amidst the dissipation.
As the vast oceans turn to dust and the thunder and lightning fade away,
That strand of spiritual mist once again approaches our great world.
With the shackles that bound our world now severed—
A whole new world of mystery and wonder awaits,
As we turn the corner...

The Sacred Ruins
Is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. A world that has recovered to a state that is roughly equal to our own world in terms of technology and culture, although its ancient history remains largely unknown. The story begins during the post-graduation trip of our protagonist, where he discovers some ancient ruins and witnesses “the great change”, an upheaval that changed everything. The changing earth not only brought about new, unexplored landscape but also sparked the evolution of all organisms. Plants and animals started gaining sentience and some humans obtained unimaginable powers. The legends, myths, and tales of old seemed to have suddenly come to life as the earth entered a new era where beasts and men formed factions, explored new lands and ultimately struggled for supremacy.
We follow the MC as he grows from being an eccentric young man into a badass expert warrior while meeting other funny characters and forming brotherly bonds. We watch as he falls into just as much hilarious situations as he does perilous ones, all the while wondering and slowly discovering the mysteries of this world. Just why was the world destroyed in the first place? Who or what had triggered this earth-shattering “change”? What profundities lie behind the process of evolution?

Chen Dong is one of the top authors in the Chinese Qidian site and this particular novel has been number one on its monthly charts for several months straight. If you are looking for a funny and unique novel that is free from the cliches of reincarnation and cultivation, this might just be what you are looking for. The story develops quite slowly for the first ten chapters or so but becomes much better paced afterwards.

    Don't mind the bad reviews without first reading the novel. TSR could be on top10 power rankings if you started reading it. Because of comments needed 140 Characters i sill just give all the review about 5 star did i just reached 140?

    Just read it. Don't judge the book by reading on the reviews without experiencing it. and Comments should not be less than 140 characters.
    That is all i want to say.

    In the first place, I personally love this novel so my review may be a lil warped.
    Ok so translation quality is in my opinion top notch such that the more immersed you are in the storyline there is no worry about translation quality ruining it.
    Update stability, I guess thats the only real problem i got since the quality of the translation is so good makes it feel as though there aren`t enough chapters (realistically though i know am being greedy lol).
    I love the story development absolutely realistic characters who make the novel that much better and overall engaging.
    As for the world building its one of the best i have seen crafted, personally its a wonderful novel with boundless potential(lets not even talk about Chu Feng, the Black Yak or for that matter or for that matter Yellow Ox).  Engaging storyline and all in all fantastic read.

    The only reason why this novel has such a bad rating is because the most liked reviews are from 5-6 months ago complaining about unstable release rates and bad translation, which has been great for the past couple of months. Please ignore those reviews and give it a try!
    Once you get past the beginning with some great world building which may be somewhat annoying for some of qidians younger readers (<14 years) you will find this story to be one of the best CN novels you've ever read.
    It's basically like the beginning of Swallowed Star with sentient beasts and a MUCH superior romance subplot!
    Also please do like a bunch of actual reviews so we can finally shove those outdated reviews on top into oblivion!
