OngoingAfter the rain, the autumn air is crisp. Li Xiang swings his homemade high-density chopping knife, effortlessly cutting down a bamboo stalk as thick as a bowl's mouth.
Suddenly, an ordinary earthworm snake darts out.
With a swift flick of his knife, Li Xiang severs the snake's vital spot, and its gruesome head falls to the ground.
System: "Congratulations, host! You have slain a first-stage aberrant beast, the Silver-Striped Red-Scaled Kui, and gained a surprise reward."
"What the...? This ordinary earthworm snake is an aberrant beast?" Li Xiang ponders, "It must be because the end of the world is coming in ten years, and the demonic and magical energies are starting to invade. Yes, I am nipping the aberrant beast in the bud, a truly virtuous deed."
Years later, the entire Earth is plunged into the "Eternal Night," and Li Xiang's "Secluded Farm" becomes the world's most dazzling "First Sanctuary" and the "Utopia" that everyone yearns for.
This is a pastoral and slice-of-life novel set against the backdrop of the end of the world, with a slow pace.
