The greenhouse effect tears apart Antarctica's ice sheet, shattering the “Primordial Seal” that has lain dormant since time immemorial. The soul-devouring virus sweeps across the globe, turning ordinary people into bloodthirsty zombies, while chaotic spiritual energy surges through heaven and earth, allowing those with hidden spiritual roots to temper their bodies and cultivate their powers. This is no natural disaster. The “Ten-Thousand-Year Pact” between the ancient gods and demons and the Heavenly Court has expired, exposing the truth: Earth is a “Primordial Prison.”
Lin Feng, an orphan who has struggled at the bottom of society, loses his job just after graduating because he refuses to go along with the corruption, and scrapes by delivering food. Having seen the indifference of the orphanage and the filth of the workplace, he has long wrapped his heart in a hard, cold shell. Then, while making a delivery on a stormy night, he witnesses a customer being torn apart by zombies. As he flees, he awakens the rare “Ancient Desolate Spiritual Root.” The moment he smashes a zombie's skull with one punch, he realizes the apocalypse isn't the end. It's the beginning of Earth's connection to the Primordial World and the Solar System's entry into the “Outer Battlefield.”
