Gao Chang and the Big Yellow
Bao Zhi Hu Qiang
When one day the sun becomes different from before,
Nature begins to rewrite her laws.
The blue sunlight endows all things with boundless vitality,
Yet it is unbearable for species long accustomed to the golden sun.
Survive or perish, adapt or be eliminated?
In this cruel trial,
The lower the evolutionary level and the simpler the structure of a species, the faster it adapts.
The less intelligent the animal, the more fearless and unaware it is.
They expose themselves early to the unfamiliar sunlight, accepting nature's judgment.
The sooner they pass the test, the sooner they can thrive and seize resources.
And what of humanity?
Humans, fearing danger, shun the sunlight, preferring to live in darkness.
With advanced technology, they create their own survival conditions.
But can we truly defy nature, remaining outside her new rules?
Will massive casualties and mutations be unavoidable?
Amid the transition between old and new races, what conflicts and upheavals will human society endure?
The protagonist, an ant tribesman on his deathbed after a cataclysmic disaster, silently repents the greatest regret of his life—abandoning a sick puppy in his high school days.
Reborn, he makes a different choice and doesn’t abandon the dog again. Then one day, the dog named Dahuang reveals it is a descendant of the Canine Deity.
What benefits come with bonding to the Canine Deity’s descendant? Cultivation, naturally. However, Dahuang says the canine path of cultivation doesn’t teach outsiders. To cultivate, one must marry into the family.
Undecided roles—perhaps a human as the dominant, or a dog as the submissive, or maybe (just maybe) mutually interchangeable. Shapeshifting is guaranteed.
