Falling from the peak, reborn in the dust.
In this life, I refuse to be human.
Lin Yuan was once a tactical genius on humanity's front lines against supernatural threats. But at a moment of crisis, his most trusted comrades and superiors joined forces to betray him, and he died beneath the claws of a mutant.
When he opened his eyes again, he had become a frail grass snake on the verge of death amid the ruins.
Spiritual qi revival swept the world, bringing global mutations, monsters roaming everywhere, and humanity splitting apart, falling into depravity, or awakening as it struggled to survive. Yet despite being at the bottom of the food chain, he was bound to the Devouring Evolution System.
From a half-meter grass snake to a hundred-meter dragon, from the shadows of ruins to the pinnacle of the world.
This time, I will no longer be a pawn for others to manipulate.
I will define strength through devouring, and forge a new order with a serpent's body.
When humanity reaches out to me in cooperation, when intelligent mutants hail me as their king, when global powers tremble beneath my shadow...
I raise my dragon's head and look down upon this familiar yet strange planet.
The old altar of the gods has rotted away.
And this snake that crawled out of the dust will forge a new throne of divinity with its own hands.
