When overworked office drone Lin Xiao opens his eyes, he has become the Divine Son of Guixu, one of the three ancient clans of the Daoyan Great Realm! Born with the auspicious sign “Myriad Daos Paying Homage to the Origin” and accompanied by a Chaos Green Lotus, he’s got the perfect chosen-one setup.
There’s just one problem: this Divine Son is an oddball.
Alchemy? He talks about molecular reactions!
Cultivation? He studies “energy dynamics”!
The clan elders are so angry their beards stick up. “Our ancestors’ ways must not be changed!” Lin Xiao: “Right, right. Anyway... watch me use science to cultivate immortality and crush the prodigies!” With his outrageous schemes and the Green Lotus inside him, which always wants to lie flat, he makes a name for himself at the ancient clan’s junior tournament.
He thought his story would be about a genius rising to prominence, marrying his childhood sweetheart, the divination goddess Ji Mingyue (coolheaded and clever, my strategist), and reaching the pinnacle of life. But when the battlefields of the heavens open, everything takes a sharp turn!
As the front lines rage with bloodshed, Lin Xiao is stranded in a desperate place with the enemy princess, You Huang, the little phoenix of the Netherworld Prison Realm (fiery and proud, with overwhelming combat strength). As they depend on each other to survive, forbidden feelings quietly begin to bloom.
Now all hell breaks loose!
In his left hand is the beloved of the Daoyan Realm; in his right, the cinnabar mark of the Netherworld Prison Realm.
The Green Lotus inside him stirs restlessly, as if it holds the secret to reconciling the two realms’ ancient enmity.
Ahead lies a war between realms fueled by ten thousand years of bloodshed. Behind him stand the glory of the ancient clan and the iron laws of the Dao Realm.
Lin Xiao slams the table and rises. “This story’s gone wrong! Who says yin and yang have to oppose each other? I’ll bring the Myriad Daos back to their origin, keep beautiful companions by my side, and carve out a life of freedom!”
As the Chaos Green Lotus blossoms and scientific imagination clashes with supreme Daoist arts, watch this “not-so-serious” Divine Son stir up the world, stride across two realms, take command of the universe, and write his own chapter of carefree cultivation across the Myriad Worlds!
