Prologue, New Era

"Run quickly!" shouted the middle-aged man, pulling the child and running backward, only to hear the sound of rolling waves behind him, along with the sound of people screaming in terror

After enduring the baptism of meteor showers, the Earth is riddled with wounds, and the dust generated by the explosions obscures the sky and sun, causing countless lives to wither away. Even more deadly, however, is the radiation produced by the explosions, which has transformed the once-prosperous surface into a hellish existence, even after the floods have receded.

The middle-aged man raised his head, and in his line of sight, something seemed to pass above the gray clouds in the sky, leaving behind a trail of bright red.

Suddenly, the wind began to blow

Indeed, an unimaginable high heat swept across the surface of the body, and that innocent child did not utter a single word; his soul had already ascended to the heavenly realm. In the moment of his death, all that was seen in his eyes was fire

Behind this seawall, in the eyes of the youth, a dazzling light gradually rises and reflects.

It is unclear who called out to the library, but the word spread through the crowd like a plague. People were thrown into a panic, terror rolling in waves like the sea, turning the entire beach into chaos

The shadow of death looms over the entire Earth, and the surviving life after the day of the great catastrophe endures the most brutal tests from nature

Is that a meteor, Dad? The boy's face was filled with confusion. He had seen meteors before, but he had never witnessed a burning fireball of such enormous size.

This day is referred to by later generations as the "Day of Catastrophe"

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

From the sky, one can see the distant sea surface engulfed in intense light. Waves of flames sweep across the sea, ravaging the entire Sanya, transforming this once-renowned tourist city into ruins in the blink of an eye, resulting in countless casualties

The Earth has entered a brand new era, yet no one knows what kind of age this will be

"Dad, Dad, look what I found!" The boy wearing a straw hat excitedly raised the conch shell in his hand, as if he had discovered a remarkable treasure. His youthful face sparkled with excitement. Beneath the brim of the hat, his dark, shining eyes were pure and unblemished, resembling the brightest stars illuminating this world

Laughter echoes on the beaches of Sanya, simple and joyful

A cheerful laugh rang out: "Good child, you have found an extraordinary treasure, why not quickly show it to your mother? m.hetushucomcom"

The originally clear blue sky is inexplicably occupied by the continuously swirling gray clouds. The wind stirs the clouds like a dragon, and the world changes color, as if a storm is about to arrive

A torrent of flames surged from the other side of the sea, igniting the beach, the tourists, and the buildings in an instant, reducing them to ashes

The young man soared into the sky, never before had he felt his body so light, so ...! ... hot!

The young boy nodded vigorously, laughing as he ran towards a sunshade on the beach

The boy was being pulled along by his father, running wildly, yet he curiously looked back. His gaze passed through his father's strong and powerful arms, landing on the sea behind them. He discovered that the once calm and tranquil sea was now stirred up, with waves rising dozens of meters high, pressing toward the beach like a giant wall.

On the same day, countless meteors broke through the atmosphere, striking important cities in various countries such as China, Japan, Africa, the United States, Germany, and France. The impact of the meteors altered the tectonic plates of the continents, triggering tsunamis and overwhelming floods that swept across the globe, marking the beginning of the apocalypse foretold in the Bible

A large hand fell onto the straw hat, and due to the backlight, the face was obscured, leaving only a tall silhouette.

Ah, my hat..." The young man raised his head, watching the straw hat soar into the sky

In the next moment, a brilliant light burst forth, sweeping across the beach faster than a tsunami

Countless lives are perishing, yet a small fraction of them are barely surviving in hell. Fifty years have quietly passed, and the genes of those who have survived, whether they be individuals or entities, have undergone a transformation of monumental proportions.

The red mark grew increasingly vivid, as if blood were seeping from the gray clouds, evoking a profound sense of unease in the observer

The middle-aged man has forgotten how to answer the questions posed by children. His gaze follows the fireball that streaks out from the clouds, watching it fall into the distant sea. Moments later, a deafening sound, akin to thunder, comes rolling in from afar. Accompanied by the tremendous noise, the ground begins to shake violently, causing screams to erupt on the beach as figures are repeatedly knocked to the ground by the intense earthquake

The boy's father, a tall middle-aged man, hurried over, taking the child's hand, while calling towards the direction of the sunshade: "Dear, let's hurry back to the hotel, it's going to rain..."

2012, Sanya, Hainan

Tsunami

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the anxious voice of the young boy: "Dad, quickly look up, what is that?"

As the middle-aged man was about to comfort his child, a brilliant red light suddenly illuminated the sky, and a large fireball came crashing down from the gray clouds. The clouds rolled and parted, creating a massive hole burned through by the fireball. Consequently, the people on the beach could clearly see fireballs streaking across the azure sky beyond that cloud hole

Without any warning, a strong wind swept in from the distant horizon, blowing away the boy's straw hat
