"May 15th, Heavy Rain: The sky has poured incessantly, causing widespread devastation in China. Dams have collapsed, levees have burst, and an epidemic is imminent."

"May 23rd, Severe Drought: The sun blazes relentlessly with an average national temperature of 43°C. Crops are extensively damaged, and countless livestock have perished."

"May 26th, Blizzard: The temperature plummets abruptly with biting cold winds. The northern regions experience extreme cold, and all power and communications systems are crippled."

"May 27th, Clear..."

Chen Feng closed his notebook, staring expressionlessly out the window.

Today, the 27th, the weather was unusually serene compared to the bizarre and erratic conditions of recent days. A rare sense of post-disaster normalcy seemed to pervade the atmosphere, with people emerging from their homes, eager to embrace the pleasant weather.

Yet, the last few days had seen massive global disasters. Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes had ravaged the planet. The Earth, a nurturing home to billions, had revealed its malevolent nature, akin to a temperamental child throwing a tantrum.

In this short span, estimates suggest that several million people worldwide had perished, with the number of missing persons incalculable. This sudden onslaught of disasters was unprecedented in the history of civilization.

Fortunately, the turmoil seemed to ease today, with the skies clearing and the disasters vanishing in a single day. People, once cowering in their homes, now stepped out to enjoy the rare clear day.

But Chen Feng knew better. The disasters were merely a prelude. Humanity, often proud and dominant, would soon face true terror.

In less than three hours, an energy storm would strike, causing widespread power failures. Humans would not only confront solitude and darkness but also—death.

The apocalypse was upon them.

Spatial rifts had opened, bringing forth countless unprecedented creatures to this planet. Terrifying insectoids, vicious zombies, brutal dragons, ravenous ogres, and other bizarre, alien beings had transformed the world into a massive slaughterhouse, with humans becoming prey to these predators.

Moreover, the dead—those who perished in the recent disasters or lay buried—would rise again, dragging their weary bodies to devour all living beings.

Insects, once meek and easily crushed, had mutated. Ants, cockroaches, and grasshoppers had grown monstrous, with mosquitoes swelling to the size of human arms, turning their victims into desiccated corpses with a single bite.

Beasts once confined by human control, such as zoo animals, had regressed to their primal forms. Elephants grew wild, snakes shed their poison glands to become giant pythons, and bears and tigers, once subdued, now withstood bullets and shells.

In a single night, the genetic chains of all species were reset. Humans were no longer the rulers of the Earth. In this new era, they had become cannon fodder, food, or even tools for the monstrous creatures.

For some, this was the worst of times. The world had collapsed, economies were in ruins, and once-powerful figures had become mere prey. Celebrities and socialites, stripped of their former power, had become objects of exploitation. The elite, once dominant, found themselves among the first to perish.

Yet for others, this was the best of times. Genetic evolution benefited not just insects and beasts but also a fortunate few who had gained extraordinary abilities. These "evolved" individuals, once the lowest of society—rejected students, failed employees, or scavengers—now wielded powers like invisibility, flight, or control over fire and water. Those once deemed inferior could now command their former oppressors, turning their wildest fantasies into reality.

In a single day, the world's rules had been entirely rewritten. Some lived on but in misery, while others...

"This is truly a fascinating experience," Chen Feng mused, spreading his hands and gazing at his unscarred arms, a flicker of reflection in his eyes.

Rebirth?

Having survived the apocalypse for over a decade, even with special abilities, Chen Feng had been deeply scarred by the dark era.

With the collapse of civilization, humanity's constraints were shattered. Freed from societal norms, people turned increasingly savage, driven to betray and harm one another for survival. The veneer of civilization had fallen away, revealing a harsh, primal struggle for existence.

Chen Feng had realized too late. Understanding the true nature of this world came only after enduring betrayal, accusations, and severe losses. Despite his enlightenment, his strength had waned, and his fate seemed to be becoming fodder for the monstrous creatures of the apocalypse.

But fate was unpredictable.

Who could have imagined that he would be reborn, returning to the eve of the apocalypse?

Embracing the chaotic memories in his mind, Chen Feng closed his eyes. In his second chance, his greatest gain was not combat skills or insights into creature weaknesses or hidden treasures.

It was his understanding of this world.

Unlike others who would need to acclimate to this new era, Chen Feng—

Darkness no longer required a process.
