Spring is the season of rebirth. The monsters of the swamp forest begin to stir. The demihumans along the reedy riverbanks sharpen sticks and build traps, waiting for prey. Human adventurers in the north carefully examine their wands and potions, preparing for a new year of exploration. In the shadows, the slime they regard as their prey watches all this unfold. It waits. Once its flying sword is forged, its dao is complete, and its foundation for another self is established, then its True Immortal Slime will be born. [Farming] [Easy]

Gao Shen accidentally joined a forum for strange stories.

This forum often posts strange stories, with vivid details that seem to have really happened. Users who post comments will also carefully analyze the source of the incident and how to solve it.

Users call each other "Tianshi", "Soul-calming", "Corpse-burning", "Coffin-carrying", "Exorcist Team"... The sense of immersion is too strong.

Gao Shen always thought that this was a communication website for supernatural enthusiasts until the prototype in the story appeared in the real world.

A summer camping trip turned into a one-way path to hell.

Lin Yi became entangled with an unspeakable "thing." It defied all logic, and with every heartbeat, the resounding bell of death tolled.

In a frantic escape, he stumbled into a decaying ancient temple, where the cold was bone-piercing.

In the darkness, a rusty ghost chain glowed with an ominous light.

Amid the despair of life and death, a brutal, cold power was forcefully injected into Lin Yi, and he became a ghost rider!

He was a living corpse, a cage for a vengeful spirit, and the price was clear and cruel: his life was being consumed little by little by the parasitic ghost.

The ghost's murderous intent was upon him, the temple doors were buckling, and with his life hanging by a thread, the instinct for survival overpowered everything else!

With his eyes bloodshot, Lin Yi shed all hesitation and boldly activated the non-human power within his body!

The eerie light erupted, and a pitch-black ghost domain instantly tore open space under his will.

Lin Yi narrowly escaped, but this was no liberation. The terrifying iceberg of the supernatural revival had merely revealed its tip.

This thorny path of controlling a vicious ghost was one where every step was soaked in the blood of his kind and the curses of the ghosts.

Power is poison; mercy is a grave.

As the world began its descent into the abyss, Lin Yi clutched the cold chain in his hand, understanding a brutal truth:

On this desperate chessboard, to survive, he had to be more ruthless than a ghost and more merciless than a man.

The heavy, bloody chapter had just turned its first page.

Lin Yi: "Welcome to... Purgatory!

Under the extreme test of a post-apocalyptic environment, the survival of human civilization and the choices of humanity—when survival instincts collide with moral bottom lines, when individual strength intertwines with collective destiny, is the apocalypse the end of civilization or the beginning of reconstruction? This novel will explore the survival and transformation of civilization in extreme environments through the intertwining of genetic technology, the struggle for survival, and the struggle of humanity.

II. Worldview Setting

2.1 Doomsday Triggers: Triple Screening

Genetic Virus Outbreak: In 2077, a genetically modified virus called "Crimson Dawn" escapes control, capable of rewriting the genes of almost all organisms, causing terrifying mutations in all life forms worldwide. This virus can infect all life on Earth, including humans, becoming the first screening factor in the collapse of civilization.

A red fog descends: After the virus outbreak, a mysterious red fog appeared in the sky. This fog is actually a "gene filter" from an alien civilization, capable of activating hidden potential in biological gene chains and accelerating biological evolution. However, it also leads to instability in biological genes, causing uncontrolled mutations.

Remnants of nuclear winter: In an effort to control the spread of genetic viruses, governments worldwide launched "Project Ice," using biotechnology-based "freezing bombs" to turn low-lying areas of the world into ice ages, triggering a global nuclear winter. Residual radiation caused some areas to become "dead zones," but it also gave rise to the rare resource "radioactive nuclei."

"Your magic is great, but it will be mine in the next second." After traveling to a different world of swords and magic, Zelir obtained the spell of Tianyan, which can analyze any magic. Starting from the most basic magic apprentice, he embarked on the road to legend step by step. Humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, many races compete for survival. Goblins, slimes, kobolds, dragons, all kinds of monsters appear in an endless stream. The vanguard pulls monsters, the swordsman provides support, the ranger harasses, and the mage... Zelir exhaled as he shot a light cannon at the face and instantly killed the boss. "This is what we mages should do." [Mage, hodgepodge world view, slow-paced road adventure style]

[Slow-burn + Monster Girl + Cat + Raising/Raising] Lin Xiao, while petting cats at a cat cafe, was transported by a system to a medieval-like place. Before leaving, the system gave him ten gold coins and a revolver with self-refilling ammo. Watch how he raises "cat" girls in the Middle Ages and becomes a legend along the way.

Black Cat Katie: Am I unlucky? But why is my owner petting and hugging me?

White Tiger Ruixue: I am a tiger, not a cat. Master, stop petting me, or I'll start shedding.

Snow Leopard Annie: I told you, touch them but don't touch me! Okay, okay, just once, just once.

………

That year I woke up from underground, with the earth as my blanket and silence as my sleep.

A few years later,

…

A group of monsters from the mountains came to meet me, and I sat alone on the tower to spend the night.

Dear Father Moran Anderson: Congratulations! Although you never smoked, you have been fortunate enough to be diagnosed with lung cancer at an age when your soul is still fresh. Unfortunately, your business of raising "Children of Hell" is not yet complete, and this Duke has been forced to invoke the "delayed death" clause. After all, these slippery little creatures are far less cuddly than they appear. Please ensure that they are regularly fed with delicious souls, whether human, demonic, or angelic. Don't forget to abide by the "Heaven-Hell Truce" and the "Exorcist Association Management Act." You wouldn't want Michael, Gabriel, and the others to know about our transaction, would you? If you have any further questions, you can consult this Duke directly in Hell. I look forward to the day when I can personally harvest your soul. ———Lucifer, the Arrogant Duke, you are trustworthy...

[In the great world of cards, the gods descend, the gods and ghosts of China, wipe out all the evil spirits]

This is the world of cards. There is no fighting spirit that can transform into a horse. What exists here are only cards that have been developed to the peak!

Luo Fu, the producer of a mythological-themed, high-paying mobile game, travels to a parallel world where cards are the mainstream and knowledge is the core.

In order to complete the school year assignments, he used the scraps at hand to create a pseudo-myth card [Ten Thousand Souls Banner], and suddenly realized that the myths of this world had long been cut off.

Faced with this dangerous world where rituals and music are in decline, strange gods are roaming, chaos and disorder are rampant, and evil spirits are rampant, starting with [Guankou Erlang], collect materials, copy texts and create cards, and invite the myth to return.

The new version of the myth card making flow strives to bring everyone a different experience.

In the misty sea fog, on the deck of the ghost ship, Hern Iheroa gazed into the distance, using a brass telescope inlaid with inhuman eyeballs, at a geometrically indefinable outline. He mechanically tore at the rotting fish flesh in his hands, stuffing it into the relatively neat slit in front of his skull, known as the "mouth." At that moment, only two questions occupied Hern's mind. First, when would he find a doctor? Second, what about the remaining 1,278 mouths on his body after he had eaten his fill—"So, doctor, is there... any hope for us?"
