“A Concept God is a being who can trample even death beneath its feet.”
On a rainy night beneath shattered neon, unemployed young man Xiaoyao is chosen by a mysterious power and forced into a brutal world beyond reality.
Here, fantasy power is the law of all things. One thought can burn the heavens and boil the seas; one fit of rage can shatter the stars. At its furthest reaches are the “Concept Gods,” who transcend the multiverse and command life and death, time and space, cause and effect, and even the power to define all existence.
Xiaoyao once thought he was nothing more than a pawn, but gradually discovers that a fragment of the “Xiaoyao Concept God” lies dormant in his soul, a forbidden power coveted even by the gods.
“Chaotic fantasy power can create worlds, and it can also slay gods.”
To break free of fate, he must struggle to survive at the Academy of Fantasy Powers:
- The dean Xing Yuan's forbidden experiments push him toward the abyss;
- The resistance leader Chi Yuan guides him to the truth with her remnant soul;
- Beneath his close friend Chi Xiao's flames of rage lies the hatred born of his family's brutal deaths;
- Reflected in mentor Qing Li's gentle eyes is a betrayal from a thousand years ago...
And when the “Gate of Concepts” opens, Xiaoyao finally faces the cruelest truth of all:
The so-called Xiaoyao was never freedom, but a cycle of divine war spanning billions of years.
