Lord of the Vast Sea

On Canglan Star, 94% of the surface is covered by the deep blue sea, with scattered islands strewn across it like shards of jade. It is a hopeless place for land-dwelling life, but a paradise for sea beasts nurtured by spiritual energy. Evolved deep-sea giants wear scales that can withstand thermal weapons; their teeth and fins can tear through steel, they move faster than sound, and beasts weighing millions of jin are everywhere. Legendary sea beasts can swallow entire islands. The law of the sea is survival of the fittest, but it has also become humanity’s chance to survive. With land resources exhausted, civilization can endure only by hunting sea beasts for spiritual energy and resources. Fishing is the best way to break through a sea beast’s defenses. Anglers use bait to lure beasts, and hooks to slip between their scales and strike their soft spots. With martial arts and skill, they haul the giants ashore, becoming civilization’s most revered saviors. The young Li Richen was born in a coastal fishing port. Carrying an ancestral fishing rod that housed a mysterious System, he stepped into this grand age of deep-sea hunting with an ordinary mortal’s body. Through fishing amid blood and fire, he would uncover the ultimate secrets of the spiritual-energy ocean and the evolution of sea beasts.
