The Avalon Of Five Elements - Chapter 67: Duanmu’s Self-Abasement

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?

Tired of the schemes and strifes of city life, Bei Feng finally returned to his hometown in the countryside

While picking asters ‘neath the Eastern fence;

My gaze upon the Southern mountain rests;

Rearing a few chickens and ducks, I shall lead a simple and leisurely life!

However, who would have thought that fate would play a huge joke on Bei Feng? All kinds of magical items and beings of the Myriad Worlds could actually be fished out of the Ancient Well in his yard!

Even a chicken reeled out of the well ended up chasing Bei Feng all over the yard and beating him black and blue! Speechless and aggrieved, he asked the Heavens: if, that day, he’d fished out a Dragon instead of a chicken, what would’ve happened to him!

What happens when science meets fantasy?

Follow Rui as he journeys through his Martial Path in a world of fantasies and tribulations.

In the Shen family in Ningcheng, there are good girls in pairs. The eldest lady, Shen Ru, is shrewd and capable, and the second lady, Shen Yan, is delicate and charming. One day, there was an extra third lady——Shen Wei.

Taciturn and unremarkable in appearance, like a small white pear in the wind, weak and helpless.

Father Shen: “Let’s keep it.”

Mother Shen: “The daughter of a bitch is still a bitch.”

Shen Ru: “A petty air.”

Shen Yan: “Brother Qi hates dodder flowers the most.”

Shen Yu sneered: Don’t worry, take your time, no one can escape!

In the previous life, Shen Yu’s blood flowed out, her internal organs were emptied, and she died on the cold operating table. Thirty years old, no children and no daughters.

In this life, she came here for revenge. She took every step of the way and turned Ning Cheng upside down, but unintentionally provoked the Great Demon King.

Quan Hanting, respected by everyone as “Six Lord”, is cold-hearted and ruthless, and his identity is a mystery.

【Small cute bag】

It is said that on the day the baby was born, Quan’s father was in so much pain that he died.

Well, bitten by Mommy Quan.
