Catalog only. The chapter bodies were not read. No quoted lines, no free-preview paste, no claim that a welcome row, a restarted chapter 1, or the newest button is the first door.

Same pen name as Earth’s First Sword. This door is numbered 001, not 第一章. 写在正文前 sits in 作品相关, which is a note, not the descent. The door is 001 降临, in 正文卷. The next listed row is 002 暴乱前夕. The page said 585 chapters. 260.55万 characters is the shelf label. The mobile page said 完本. The catalog header was 已经完本 · 共585章. The newest catalog slot is 新书，有点科幻，但不多.
Start at 001 降临
Open 001 降临 on Qidian and follow that catalog from 正文卷, not from the newest button. The Chinese original, 深渊独行, is the book page. On 15 October 2026 the mobile page called it 完本, author 言归正传, category 科幻·星际文明, updated 2024-06-03, with 260.55万 characters. The catalog listed 585 chapters. The public pitch was not copied here.
The newest button is not the door
The newest timestamp points at 新书，有点科幻，但不多. 260.55万 characters is a shelf label, not a dare. You are deciding whether 001 降临, filed under 科幻·星际文明, is your door. 完本 is a status.
Who should start here
Try it if a search for Walking the Abyss Alone or 深渊独行 sent you and you want 言归正传’s finished space shelf, not Earth’s First Sword, on book 1034695389. Nearby doors: Earth’s First Sword.
Leave it if you want a newcomer’s first chance at training, checked scene by scene. That door is the RMJI opening guide. The shelf is the Walking the Abyss Alone reading series. The index is where to start.
