A Wife, Kids, and a Warm Bed, Plus Slaying Gods to Protect Earth

Chen Ran, a homebody from Wan University, wanted nothing more than the simple comforts of a wife, children, and a warm home. But a bizarre mutation shattered that peaceful life. Blood stained the dust of Huayang Town, and a mysterious gilded fragment forcibly entered his body, dragging this cowardly young man out of his comfort zone and hurling him into a desperate fate with no way back.

Fate is a blade, and the weak die! Wielding a Dragon Soul Tang sword and drawing on the surging power of ancient techniques, he sheds his laziness and ventures into a world in chaos. He joins the Great Xia Divine Shield Bureau, where he teams up with the cool and sharp-tongued doctor Wu Xin, the wisecracking Lao Pan, a master of hidden weapons, the honest and burly Shen Hao, and Xu Huaibing, a calculating captain who never misses a shot. Together, they form the Azure Dragon Squad, trading jokes and fighting side by side as they shed blood to take on evil!

Otherworldly demons break through the barriers between worlds, black fog blankets the sky, and they covet Earth's origins. They conspire with the gods of India and the island nation to set a deadly trap meant to destroy the world, while manipulating the Western gods into wreaking havoc. Great Xia is in peril, and humanity teeters on the brink of extinction!

From a homebody who couldn't hurt a fly to a pinnacle warrior who can suppress all the heavens; from a young man who shunned the world and feared death to the bane of gods and demons! Chen Ran leads the Azure Dragon Squad through piles of corpses and rivers of blood, battling against the heavens. Joining forces with their allies, they strike at evil and vow to shatter the plot to destroy the world, protecting their homeland with their lives!

Blade light glints on crimson blood, and battle spirit burns to the ninth heaven! Brothers stand together through life and death, while deep love takes root in their hearts. Forced to become a hero he never wanted to be, he still cries out his original wish amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood: Once this death-defying battle is over, I'll hang up my armor for good, return to the countryside, guard my little corner of peace, and fulfill my lifelong dream!
