Summary

Lin Mo's left forearm suddenly grows a hard black cuticle. After medical treatment fails, Yue Yuanshan, a self-proclaimed believer of the Holy Judgment Society, arrives and calls it a gift from God, prophesying that Judgment Day is near. As ancient genes dormant deep in human DNA awaken, biological evolution accelerates beyond imagination; people he knows may turn into man-eating monsters in the blink of an eye, and social order quickly collapses. Amid mutation and flight, Lin Mo gradually learns secrets such as the Divine Sequence and the Sacred Relic, deals with high-ranking believers of the mysterious Holy Judgment Society, and struggles to survive in an apocalypse of civilization rebuilding and species competition.

Editor's review

The book is built around gene mutation and accelerated biological evolution, with a strong apocalyptic atmosphere and vivid descriptions of mutants. The main thread of protagonist Lin Mo surviving amid mutations and organizational power struggles is clear, making it suitable for readers who enjoy apocalyptic survival and supernatural-power settings. Its weaknesses are an information-dense opening, a somewhat murky buildup of the religious-organization storyline, occasionally sluggish pacing, and functional character development.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers who enjoy apocalyptic survival themes
Science fiction readers interested in gene mutation and evolution settings
Web novel readers who prefer infinite-flow and supernatural-power progression

Not a good fit for

Readers who dislike gory monster descriptions
Readers who prefer lighthearted slice-of-life or pure romance content

Reading tips

First grasp the three threads—the Divine Sequence, the Sacred Relic, and the Holy Judgment Society—to understand how the worldbuilding progresses.
Pay attention to distinguishing mutants, awakened individuals, and Holy Judgment Society believers to avoid confusing the factions.
The middle section has considerable organizational maneuvering; skim repeated explanations and focus on the protagonist's ability-growth milestones.
