The Post Sky Tipping Era

"This might be the most impulsive thing I’ve done in my life," said Li Yi, still gasping for breath. His heart was pounding, and he felt an indescribable fatigue all over his body, his muscles aching intensely.

He had moved swiftly.

In just half an hour, Li Yi had left the Ruined District and returned to his home in the old city area, temporarily safe.

Reflecting on what had happened earlier, he found it incredible.

All he had wanted was to earn fifty thousand yuan to take care of his parents, the Silent Ones. But when it came down to it, he had, like those gamblers, risked his life for the Mysterious Object.

Luckily, he had made it back alive.

If he had failed, he would probably have deeply regretted it at the moment of his death.

"That dead Zhang Kaiwen had a saying that’s correct, ’A life now is a life forever.’ To change everything, I had to take a risk, or I would just survive like everyone else in this old, rundown city, living like a rat, decaying and breeding maggots some night without leaving a trace,"

"At that moment, making the decision in the underground parking lot, I could feel my ambition growing. It turns out I’m not the kind to just abide by the rules. I too, aspire to partake in Cultivation, stir things up, and become someone important."

Li Yi closed his eyes and took deep breaths continuously.

Recalling his life over the past years, he felt nothing but oppression and suffocation.
