Ohh, that's a nice part of the lore. I always enjoy these somewhat whimsical stories about how the end of something is the beginning of something else.
First time reading cultivation story combined with cosmic horror and urban fantasy.
Loved how law of the jungle that is taken for granted in most cultivation story is described to be incompatible with modern society and its value and sensibility.
Here difference in strength can be compensated by modern society with more advance technology and organized military training where even the strong can be defeated by superiority in number.
Usually I'm not a fan of guns in a fantasy setting, but this is still the coolest world I've seen in a while.
I wonder where the story will take us from here.
This concept of inner gardens and souls are pretty interesting. Is this the only manhua with this concept? Or are there others that I just haven't read yet?
