Below Mount Buzhou: The Broken Mountain

In 2035, on a barren Earth, scavenger Chen Zheng rescues a mute girl named Xiaoman during a ruin expedition, inadvertently becoming entangled in a millennium-spanning dimensional game. He retrieves a mysterious crystal, the Heart of Gonggong, from the ancient relic Mount Buzhou, discovering he is a descendant of the ancient deity Gonggong—who was actually a higher-dimensional being that once attempted to grant humans dimensional ascension technology. Conflict ensues: Chen Zheng faces a choice—become a new anchor and sacrifice himself, join the Chaos faction and embrace nothingness, or restart Mount Buzhou to offer all humanity the chance to ascend. Rejecting a predetermined fate, he chooses a third path: revealing the truth to the public. Seven days later, the dimensional judgment arrives, and all humanity must decide together: to become gods, remain human, or return to nothingness. When gods truly existed, will humanity's future be to become gods, or to transcend them? — Description from novelcodex.org
