The Ancestor of the Ruins

Billions of years ago, the dragon race dominated the universe. To monopolize the world's spiritual veins, they set up an eternal seal, erasing human intelligence and destroying all civilization before collectively withdrawing, leaving behind a barren Dragon Ruin with depleted spiritual energy and rampant beasts. Ye Heng, the only awakened human who preserved the complete flame of civilization, sealed all knowledge of farming, forging, formations, and medicine into his soul and slept in an underground cave for millennia. As time passed, the seal's power waned, and humans regained intelligence, splitting into scattered primitive tribes struggling with stone tools against beasts and disasters. Awakening, Ye Heng left the cave, witnessed his kin's ignorance and misery, and resolved to lead humanity's revival. He subdued beasts to save a tribe, established survival rules, taught ancient skills, created written language to ignite civilization, and formed exploration teams to traverse the wilderness, delve into dragon ruins, gather ores and ancient tools, and unite surrounding tribes. The myriad races that once ravaged the mountains retreated, and humanity gained a foothold in the wild. Yet the dragon seal remains, hiding countless secrets in deep ruins. Ye Heng will continue to lead his people in uncovering ancient heritage, breaking the eternal shackles, and ushering in a new dawn for humanity.
