Lin Ye transmigrates to Aethera, a world where magical civilization has reached its peak. Twelve primordial gods who once governed the laws of heaven and earth fell ten thousand years ago, and the source of their divine power became twelve Root Magics, such as the elements, space and time, life and death, and fate, laying the foundations of the world. Lin Ye starts out as a nobody, but binds himself to a cold System called [Divinity Code: Origin Point].
The System's core is simple and ruthless: grind proficiency! It can turn any skill Lin Ye encounters, from basic fireball spells to obscure divine script, into data. As long as he puts in the time to practice, fight, and study like mad, once his proficiency is high enough, he can ignore any bottleneck and level up or break through directly, earning attribute points or rare rewards. Bottlenecks? They don't exist! Grind Fireball to its utmost, and it can burn mountains and boil seas; practice Cleansing past its limits, and it can disintegrate anything!
Yet the System's true mission gradually comes to light: to guide Lin Ye in finding the scattered “Divinity Fragments,” crystallized power left behind by the fallen gods, containing the supreme authority of the twelve Root Magics. Beneath the peaceful era, undercurrents surge as factions unleash bloody conflict over the gods' legacy. From the corners of a magic academy to ancient battlefields fraught with danger, from the mortal world to independent divine realms, Lin Ye takes up his “grind like crazy” System and sets out on a thorny path.
He grinds his way through realms and comprehends the laws, rising amid the brutal struggle for Divinity Fragments. When the light of the Sacred Domain first appears and he touches the realm of the gods, Lin Ye finally realizes that the gods' fall conceals a shocking secret capable of overturning the era. The divine throne stands empty, and the era turns. Who will wield the new authority? And what lies hidden in the depths of the source code of the System that granted him the power of a “grind god”
