After three years as a lovesick doormat, Lu Chen gets dumped by the campus belle with a blunt, “You’re not good enough for me. We’re through.” He is just about to force a bitter smile when the seal inside him suddenly shatters, and a cold voice rings out: [The Strongest Forbidden System of the Myriad Worlds has activated. Host, welcome back.]
Only then does Lu Chen “remember” that he is no mortal, but the “Lord of Taboos,” who sealed himself away and drifted into the mortal world after a rebellion that shook the Myriad Worlds. His true origins are the greatest secret of the Myriad Worlds, and his backing is the strongest there is. The System isn’t here to help him level up. It’s here to break his seals and restore everything that was his to begin with. From now on, what people call leveling up is simply the removal of one layer of shackles after another. Face-slapping his ex-girlfriend? That’s just an appetizer. Crushing ancient martial arts clans? Barely a warm-up. When immortals and gods descend and Demon Venerables cross worlds to seize this realm, they are horrified to discover that the young man they dismissed as an ant is lounging on the supreme throne, with beings behind him whom even their ancestors would kneel and kowtow to.
Lu Chen: “Don’t panic. I’m just taking back what’s mine. And cleaning house while I’m at it.”
