Summary of the Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning
From day one, things were rough. Humanity had to start over completely. Scrabbling through ruins isn't easy, especially with unpredictable threats everywhere – fierce storms, mutated beasts running amok... It was pure chaos.
That's when Ye Chen got these weird artifacts: totems and monster eggs. Finding a suitable spot for your totem felt like the first step towards building something from scratch. Your tribe grew where you planted it, but only if you could protect that land too. And those eggs? Talk about potential! They held power waiting to be unlocked.
But there was more than just hatching them – reading hidden clues within the egg itself became crucial. Sometimes, a quick hatch gave you a basic beast, like a rank E spiny turtle or a yellow horse. Others felt different, whispering possibilities for stronger allies if you hurried up (like that dangkang critter) or pushed your luck even further... Who hasn't wondered what breaking the rules might get you?
Fast forward, Ye Chen didn't just take chances; he strategized and earned his place. Leading a force of truly top-tier SSSSS mutated beasts under him now feels like solidifying his legacy in this harsh new world. He's not just surviving – *he's thriving*, thanks to smart choices about hatching timing long ago.
