Disaster strikes and Blue Star is digitized. Monsters run rampant, and humanity venerates those who awaken talents.
Chen Xuan awakens the most useless F-rank talent in history: the Empty Angler, who can only cast his line into thin air. He becomes the laughingstock of the whole city, until his hook pierces dimensions and fishes up his first “item” from the Myriad Worlds: the SSS-rank Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
From then on, while others painstakingly cultivate to level up, he fishes at his leisure. While others fight over B-rank skills, his hook brings in treasures from across the Myriad Worlds: the Zhuxian Sword Formation, the Heaven-Escaping Shuttle, Saitama’s Training Method... He can fish up anything.
When an apocalyptic beast tide reaches the city walls and the war gods of every nation are helpless, Chen Xuan casts his seventh line before the assembled armies. This time, his hook descends from a shattered celestial firmament, bringing back not a divine weapon, but a cool, breathtaking woman in a tattered immortal dress.
She calls herself Li. She has lost her memories, yet a single wave of her hand destroys the Beast Emperor. Looking at the fishing rod in Chen Xuan’s hand, she asks with a profound gaze, “You steal the source of the Myriad Worlds... Who are you, really?”
For the first time, a blood-red warning appears on Chen Xuan’s System panel:
[Warning! You have attracted the attention of a “Higher-Dimensional Observer”!]
[Civilization Ascension Trial, final stage: Initiated!]
This is the story of the most useless angler, who fishes a glimmer of hope for human civilization from the Myriad Worlds.
