In 2349, human civilization has become a plaything of the advanced alien race known as the Zela. Ninety percent of the land has been submerged beneath an ocean of trials, and the survivors are thrown into it and forcibly bound to an interstellar livestream System, becoming pets for the entire universe to watch. Livestream popularity determines who lives and dies: the more gifts viewers send, the richer the resources; when popularity dips, deadly punishments are triggered, bringing in powerful beasts and extreme weather.
Lin Feng, a former special forces soldier of the Federation, awakens the Reverse Evolution Fishing System on the brink of death. It lets him obtain evolution cores and tame mutated creatures through fishing, while also deciphering Zela technology so he can gradually escape their control. From a flimsy bamboo raft to an ironclad floating city, from surviving alone to joining forces in rebellion, he plays to the bloodthirsty tastes of alien viewers to earn resources, while secretly rallying the survivors, unlocking abilities such as underwater breathing and energy blasts, and raising powerful companions like thunder eel shrimp and giant deep-sea octopuses.
As the Zela’s genetic experimentation conspiracy comes to light and the livestream becomes a weapon of resistance, Lin Feng leads humanity in breaking free of its fate as a “bird in a cage.” With the power of evolution, he takes on interstellar hegemony and unleashes a new wave of civilization across the boundless ocean. This is a rebellion epic written in blood and wits, and an interstellar survival race watched by all!
