In a world without a moon, a second moon suddenly appeared. Mountains crumbled, the seas raged, and people called it the Calamity Moon.
Chen Nian has an inexplicable connection to the Calamity Moon. From the moment he was born, a moon shone in his sea of consciousness, and his abilities change in sync with its phases each day.
One day, he awakened the Calamity Moon inheritance and realized he had fallen into the quagmire of conflict engulfing the world. His identity as an inheritor was like a shackle, binding him fast to the strife.
The Underworld, forbidden zones, provincial lords, emperors, and even the various sects all seek to control the inheritors of the Calamity Moon to some extent.
The Calamity Moon inheritance is a new system of power, and its inheritors are seen as oddities by ordinary cultivators.
As the first inheritor to have his identity exposed, Chen Nian just wants to keep his head down and grow stronger. But once he stepped onto the chessboard, he became a piece.
He is the most important piece, and also the one least under anyone's control.
The most common reaction people have to him is: What the hell!
