Alone in the world, they lifted the banner of Earth’s civilization and fought against the terrifying forces of the Other World.
And in the end, Dragon City was destroyed.
Then, Meng Chao was reborn after Dragon City was destroyed, and he returned to the time fifty years after Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World. But he was not alone, he returned with a system named Kindling, who told him that he can become stronger if he contributed to society.
So Meng Chao swore that he would become stronger. In the beginning, he only wanted to make small contributions to the society by teaching them technology, martial arts, and skills from the future, and in the end, everything snowballed from there, and he found that… Earthlings were really insane.

I'd recommended this for readers who are fans of "Forty Millenniums" and apocalyptic worlds, without the excessive, boring dystopic drama that most other CN and KR novels like to throw at you. SUMMARY
MC Meng Chao mysteriously inherits a systemic power in the final days of an apocalypse that wiped out humanity's last bastion in a transmigrated world. Whew, that's a mouthful. MC is reincarnated into the past in his highschool/college days. With his imperfect/intermittent foreknowledge, he must find new ways to lead humanity out of its crisis while uncovering the mysteries of their new world. COMMENTS
(1) Tropes galore... but well put together
System -- check
Nationalism -- check
"United" humanity -- check
Questionable social strata -- check
School -- check
Fat childhood buddy -- check
Bratty, non-biologically related sister -- check, except that she's not a damsel in distress
Hints of harem or semi-polygamous society -- check, due to survivalist nature of transmigrated society and low male-female ratios (plausible if you followed Earth's history of Mormons)
Fake master persona -- check, similar to "Library of Heaven's Path" so MC can continue spreading knowledge without suspicion
True to form like author's previous novel "Forty Millenniums of Cultivation", the overall world-building is quite well constructed. Author blends existing sci-fi elements with cultivation, describing the world in semi-plausible scientific terms.
-- A meridian circulatory system, alongside other normal human biological systems
-- Presence of spiritual energy that affects/mutates normal physics down to the subatomic level, which messes up with humanity's original precision engineering, which imposes technological inconveniences, which leads to development of clunkier high tolerance machinery (almost steampunk-like), and finally a hodgepodge society that blends energy crystals with only some modern day conveniences (lack of elevators, etc)
-- A modern, practical discussion of evolution in terms of resources... human brains are capped at its current size due to caloric requirements and what our environment offers us (this is real science).
Since the new world has additional spiritual energy, it allows for further evolutionary development.
-- Unstable spatial wormholes that makes human/alien geographic boundaries unpredictable/untenable. i.e. you can't just build a BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL *cough cough*
-- A separate currency and governmental system for superhumans created to allow them to peacefully co-exist with the rest of "normal" humanity
-- Descent of humanity into greed/corruption during lulls periods of war
-- Questioning what is means to be "human" and whether there is truly any shared sense of solidarity, especially given the various genetic changes among humans due to spiritual energy and ensuing extreme social strata
-- Believable 50 yr period of adjustment for humanity post-transmigration, with education focused on war-like capabilities for survival
-- Nationalistic pride based on survivalism... very similar to Forty Millenniums
Passable and the main reason for only 4 stars. Author was clearly targeting a younger readership with this novel, so many characters were dumbed-down. MC Meng Chao isn't as dark/scheming as the MC from "Forty Millenniums". He's a former weary war-veteran with great combat ability and somewhat limited social skills, but is currently a young adult (18-19). One moment MC's behaving foolishly like an awkward youth who can be excessively idealistic/boy-scoutish, while at other moments he's a cold-blooded killer with a mature outlook on life.
He's constantly led by the nose by other people's opinions (Meng Chao can NEVER debate back properly, which is just shocking if you knew author also wrote Forty Millennium's extremely strong-willed MC), and lamely tries to deflect the conversation or argue irrelevantly like an utter loser.
This constant back-and-forth personality switch is confusing and incongruent unless MC has multiple-personality-disorder. Wish author would just pick one. Either be a useless simp, or act his real mental age and have a strong personality. Don't be both.
You'd normally expect someone with MC's background to be closer to Hansoo from "Reincarnator". Side characters are numerous and varied. Unfortunately no one seems to stick around long enough to really make a lasting impression. Any friends/acquaintances that MC makes disappear shortly after one mini-arc whenever MC moves on to other things. We usually never hear from them again (besides MC's fat buddy). Author has also gone off on a weird tangent on romance... everyone else around MC gets hitched. Except the MC himself. Oddly annoying to read. Maybe it's somewhat early as of Chapter 250, but "bad guys" are either
-- the gagillion monsters MC fights,
-- your typical arrogant youths that foolishly challenge MC,
-- or are just morally conflicted and hopelessly confused in their end goals.
Haven't come across any amazing antagonists like in Forty Millenniums. As I mentioned, it just feels like author was trying to appeal to younger audiences by dumbing things down and ended up not writing them very well. (4) Realistic time-traveling limitations
This was something I really appreciated from the author. Most time-traveling kingdom-building type novels often have a know-it-all MC that uses his foreknowledge to arrive at a perfect solution. Everyone is suddenly enlightened, and MC is treated like a god. In this novel, MC Meng Chao doesn't have perfect knowledge since he was only privy to general knowledge and his own past life experiences in his corner of society. MC realizes that what he can do for humanity is truly limited.
- Future techniques require concurrent development of resources. They also aren't easily/immediately accepted by society even if they are an improvement over older versions.
- Major developmental decisions made by a civilization are non-binary. The consequences come at you like a slow-moving truck. So a time-traveling MC can't just throw out a last minute cultivation technique, become OP for a single big battle, etc and expect to affect the outcome of an entire war (unlike how "Tales of Demons and Gods" likes to portray it).
That sets him miles apart from the selfish prick in "Tales of Demons and Gods" that only wanted to help his buddies while ignoring/killing off anyone he deemed as "bad". (5) No pe*ophilia
One of the rare CN/KR apocalyptic novels without a loli pedo.
That's an automatic +1 star.
Interesting and it does give you the feeling where you want to explore outside the beginner zone for newbies. Except that it took over 900+ chapters to actually get out there and this novel only has ~1.6k chapters. And not to mention that the author thinks that it is interesting to put out useless political points instead of focusing on exploring the world. Characters:
Overall speaking, it's average. Now, let me say this first. What I really hate here is the MC. This MC is an adult with a second chance - reborn to a certain timeline in his past. In that timeline, he activated a system that lets him become the savior of his civilization. Okay? He has both the plot armor of knowing the future and a system which is thick enough of a plot armor for a MC even if they just wield one of it. But, I hate both of them in this case.
The plot armor of being able to know future events and his experience of being a seasoned veteran, albeit a low-ranked one in the future is scrapped by the author himself. The author made it that the MC is unable to withstand the full amount of his future memory. Thus, he was left with scraps of his memory. Thus, the author would use this as an excuse again and again to justify the MC's inconsistent personality and a sudden event that he wants to slot in all of a sudden.
First, the personality of the MC. Sometimes, he acts like a spoilt brat. Sometimes, he acts like a seasoned veteran. You don't need to be a genius to see that the inconsistency is simply because the author wants that specific personality for that specific mood. The result? A MC that is cranky and unlike a human. Next, the author would use his incomplete memory to slot in 'sudden' events. Those are events that was never shown or totally unplanned. The MC would suddenly 'remember' that 'something' would happen at the 'right' timing. For me, that's an obvious case of lazy writing. The inability or the refusal to put in effort to foreshadow an upcoming event but to use a shitty loophole to manifest it is just lazy to me.
Alright, that's my problem with the reborn part. Now, the system. It's a system that is intended to make him into a savior of his civilization which was destroyed in his first timeline. Earn points by performing actions of a savior and use those points to strengthen himself. From training citizens and prepare them physically and mentally to picking up rubbish will net you appropriate amount of points. What I hate the most with this system is that the MC can just use points to add level to his skills. Add the level and he'll gain those skills right away. No need for any training, add it and he'll be able to use them. He'll get discount if it's something he already know but if it's something he already knew, why bother spending points unlocking it? Still, getting skills just by touching the upgrade button is just shitty for me. I believe that to get something, you need to pay something and those points just aren't cut out for any semblance of an equivalent exchange. There's a reason why most novels with system are shitty.
For example, Lin Chuan and Gao Ye. Their way of doing things are not the correct ones but they are just humans.
They lived out their life and failed at trying to change the twisted society before resorting to being a 'villain'. They are not the MC. They do not have the ability to relive their lives nor the system to give them shortcut to strength. The MC is able to use those plot armors to change his life and seek benefits at 'key points'.
But those 'villains' that he mocks are not able to do so. They were hurt by the society. Their families were hurt by the society. They could not see the world as some MC with a thick plot armor would. And yet, the only thing the MC would give them is a label.
When you label someone as 'something', you repel the possibility of it being anything else than that 'something'. They aren't even humans anymore. Their past, their sufferings and experience is null except for being a villain. The way the author wrote the MC condemning them as just villains made it as if they're villains from birth. Nothing more than just a villain. It disgusts me deeply.
- The MC is calm and stoic and knows how to use his knowledge from the future. He is not a second rate MC, and even the secondary characters are written with a rare depth.
- What's intersting is that the system gives points to the MC for each made contribution that will increase the survival rate of the city in face of the coming "apocalypseS". The more monsters he kills, improvements of cultivation systems from his knowledge of the future ect... will give him points, he'll spend to get new skills, heal, etc...
- The main positive thing in this novel is that everything is well written and argumented with logic, so that you understand why each main secondary character behaves the way they do.
Cons:- But the last point above is also the main issue I have with this novel: at some point most of the arguments are the same each time the MC confronts a new ennemy, thus, lots of chapters are really a waste of time, and the logic predictable,
- It feels like the MC, even with the knowledge from the future is still naive after 900 chapters. It is surprising the MC did not see what was comming before the 900ish chapters and the plot was a bit forced there. Furthermore the MC never tries to resolve the main issue in Dragon City with

- Furthermore after the 900ish chapter, the story takes a new direction like what happens with the MC in Forty Millenniums of Cultivation (same author) :

Overall, I still think this is a must read for the first 900 chapters, the mysteries and the developpement of the plot are enough to keep you reading, and worth the time.the 9 mega company. The MC knows they are responsible for the main darkness inside the city that the abnormal monsters expoit, but he does nothing to at least destabilize them and explain the truth to the citizens. All his focus is on the monsters only...
the MC, after a deadly figth with the brain behind the monsters invasion, the "mother of all monsters", falls into a water vortex and wakes up in an absolute weak state, away from Dragon City in the "real" outer world. It felt like a huge slap to the reader: because the ennemy wins and because for the most important part, the MC was completly unprepared against the last monster boss and didnt see it coming. This part was forced and illogical from all what the MC accomplished previously...
MC in past life slept with many alien women and due to his work dissecting monsters doesn't think they are ugly. A character with the ability to sense emotion actually thought the MC was gay or felt no s*xual attraction at all because he never gets aroused by normal human girls.
The novel is great but story becomes less about fighting and more about talking. The author is very good about talking about politics of Dragon City in a realistic way, but it becomes too much. Like how he can spend 50 chapters talking to one character, and one fifth of it was about MC and a girl having a kid. Both are early 20's and MC doesn't live the woman or want to settle down, but somehow has to seriously consider starting a family for the future of Dragon City.
The last good fight is when MC fights Mother 2.
MC coming back to dragon city to fix things did not live up to the hype. It starts off great with MC secretly spying on the city to catch the bad guys, but its resolved extremely quickly while boring parts are dragged out and then left without a conclusion. Also a plot with the monster mastermind Mother in his comrade doesn't mean much. Also his return wasn't so secret and a big plot point with the healer girl was ruined. If you read the final chapter of the dragon city arc and when she returns and talks about her secrets you'll be left disappointed and how obvious that the author changed the direction of the story he was going with her.
Worst part is the ending. The system MC used to grow strong and protect/develop dragon city author decides to make it evil. Author ignores how it only helped him grow stronger while contributing to Dragon City and gave him a lot of freedom about how he went about it, to a system that told him what to do and gave him all the answers. The one behind the system is an AI that wants to control everything that fights Chaos that wants indiscriminate survival of the fittest. Their back story doesn't even match what we are told earlier in the story. MC doesn't want to side with either and chooses his own third path.
Author/editor leaves a final note about why the story became what it was. Author lost hope in people and couldn't write an MC tackling political and social issues while remaining pure no matter how much power he gains, and rather than try to write a realistic individual in the mc's shoes doing just that for better or worse, he went insane to write his Order vs Chaos AI battle with a tr*sh ending.
Good side characters and surprisingly first time, a "living" family. Usually, we can never find a reason why MC likes his family very much, but this Novel does good building relationship with the MCs Family. Update V1. C746 - Story has good depth. MC is still good. Still no paper villains. All good. Too many expositions, but I like them. Often repeating though.
