Extraterrestrial demons invaded; I laid the groundwork eight years in advance.

The age of myth was buried long ago beneath a cataclysm that shattered the world. Billions of years later, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth awakens once more, drawing the long Age of Dharma Decline to its end. Yet revival arrives hand in hand with calamity: demons from beyond the universe slip across the void, and forbidden monsters descend from rifts torn into reality itself. Caught in the current of fate, Shen Bai finds himself bound to a system tossed to him by destiny. But where others might charge recklessly into the fray, he chooses patience. In secret, he establishes the Dawn Group, the Dawn Organization, and the Mythical Club, spending eight quiet years weaving a sprawling web of influence—roots driven three feet deep into the earth, unseen beneath the surface of everyday life. At last, the rift splits the sky open, and despair washes over the world. As countless people cry out in the darkness, his answer rises to meet them: the long night will eventually end. More than simple wish fulfillment, this story blends system-driven triumph, behind-the-scenes strategy, steady cultivation, and a rich ensemble cast—pausing along the way to cherish the faint glimmer of light found in ordinary living. Readers, proceed with care.
