Crimsonwave Temple

Desolate Era #33

by Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi, 我吃西红柿, RWX (Translator)

Fate had never been kind to Ji Ning. Wracked by illnesses and infirm his entire life on Earth, Ning knew early on that he would die as a teenager. What he didn’t know was that there really was such a thing as life after death, and that the universe was a far larger place than he thought.

A lucky twist of fate (one of the few in Ning’s life) meant that Ning was reborn into a world of Immortals and monsters, of Ki Refiners and powerful Fiendgods, a world where Dynasties lasted for millions of years. A world which is both greater…and yet also smaller…than he ever could imagine. He would have the opportunity to join them, and in this life, Ning swore to himself, he would never let himself be weak again!

The Era he was born into was a Desolate one, but Ning would make it his era.

- Quote: “Well. I’ve given you a lot of excuses, but in the end I was just selfish and excited."
- Thoughts: I consider this the worse book of the series, too much rewriting of rules, too much out of blue. I almost stopped to read it here, I'm glad I kept reading though, it does get very better later.

[Danny Moody · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic book! I loved the plot progression but I need resolution! I was going to read other stuff but now I’m going to keep plugging through this series. Good stuff. The end is almost in sight.
