The Eerie Descent

On the eve of the Eerie Descent, Qin Yuan is crushed by an S-class forbidden relic and is reborn with full memory of his past life, in which he was betrayed and killed by allies who coveted the forbidden art of Nethergold.

This time, he swears to refine every eerie being in the city into gold and make them his slaves. That very night, he forges his first Nethergold, outsmarts a delivery eerie being, and forcibly contracts it. He then tracks an eerie child, coerces its mom, the Lantern Eerie, into servitude, and uses the child's abilities to bind Ye Zhiwei, an S-class talent from his previous life, as a blood-contracted servant.

With future knowledge, he defeats the Death-Mirror Eerie, bets its entire lifespan, and trades it for eight end-time bunkers. He then refines a deep-abyss horror into his personal dimensional storage and storms the black market, Wangchuan Inn, where he crushes rival Shen Mufeng, seizes the S-class relic "Void Demon Eye," and bribes the Coin Eerie King to guarantee his safety. He also buys exclusive delivery rights to the Inn, securing the only logistics route that will survive the apocalypse.

At midnight, the Abyss Rift tears open, the city burns, and Qin Yuan strides into the flames, his contracted army behind him, Nethergold in hand, to turn the wasteland into his own hunting ground.
