The Age of Severed Spiritual Energy has arrived, and the supernatural has vanished from sight.
Cang Yan, a Dragonkin carrying a Chaos Dragon Soul, lost all his power after the battle in the East Sea and became an ordinary mortal.
As ancient remnants hidden around the world begin to awaken, shadows of order and chaos loom over the world. Forced to rely on his mortal body, he must navigate infighting within Bureau 749, the traps of lost civilizations, and the threat of eldritch gods watching from beyond.
Losing his power is both a curse and a new beginning. While everyone else chases the power of bloodlines and companion beasts, he rediscovers the true meaning of the Dao amid the everyday world: rules do not belong to the strong alone.
Watch as this good-for-nothing Dragonkin hears thunder in the silence, weaves a web in the mortal world, and sets the bounds of heaven and earth with his own heart. This is a wholly different path of guardianship, and a struggle between Dao and artifact over the very nature of existence.
