With the arrival of twin moons, global tsunamis shatter the continents, and the Age of Sequence Mythology begins.
When Chen Ze wakes, he finds himself adrift on the endless ocean that has swallowed Shanghai.
From the start, all he has is a rickety old boat that's about to fall apart, and a terrifying storm closing in.
He faces doubled “protection taxes,” ruthless Sequence Awakeners, and indescribable, bizarre behemoths lurking in the deep.
Chen Ze thinks he's got the worst possible start, until he awakens the [Shanhai Pot], which can refine the souls of all things and hatch mythical beasts!
The corpses of monsters everyone else avoids are the resources he needs to evolve!
[You refined the soul of a water monkey and gained the talent “Water Affinity,” awakening the skill “Water Ghost Drag”!]
[You refined the soul of a mutated sea lizard, fused it with dragon blood, and attained sainthood through the flesh, gaining “Black-Scaled Heavy Armor”!]
[You refined the soul of a deep-sea leviathan, reshaped your Dharma form, and hatched the ancient divine beast “Kun of the Northern Sea,” which devours heaven and earth!]
[You refined the severed limb of an Old One, kindled divine fire, seized the “Authority of the Seven Seas,” and bestowed titles upon the gods!]
While the survivors slaughter one another over a pound of stinking fish, Chen Ze is fretting over whether to have crystal lobster or black caviar for dinner in the deep sea.
While the Sequence Awakeners still fear the shadows beneath the water, the countless legions of strange beasts at Chen Ze's back are ready to march.
Chen Ze: “I don't want to be anyone's savior. I just want to tell this ocean: the king of a new age has arrived.”
