Seven-colored auroras swept across the globe. The spiritual qi revival began, Awakening Towers sprang up from the ground, and talent became the sole measure of social rank. Eighteen-year-old Lin Ling had once been an honor student in everyone’s eyes, but at the highly anticipated awakening ceremony, he registered an unprecedented talent level of “0”: no affinity, no abilities, and the laughingstock of the entire city of Jiangcheng.
With zero talent, he was forced to leave school. His parents lost their jobs because of him, his childhood sweetheart Ye Qingli was pressured by her family into marrying the exceptionally talented young master of the Zhao family, and even his former best friend avoided him. “Know your place. A good-for-nothing should act like one.” The Ye family head’s taunt pierced all his pride like a knife.
With nowhere else to turn, he entered the dead zone overrun by alien beasts, intending to trade his life for money. But at the brink of death, he awakened a hidden golden finger: [Zero]. All things return to zero, and zero contains all things. While others awakened elemental powers or classes, he could devour any talent and make it his own, from alien beasts to Awakened, from F-rank to SS-rank. He could fuse talents to create exclusive divine abilities, and his body was a bottomless pit for spiritual qi, with no limit to his growth.
The good-for-nothing with zero talent began his path to a comeback. He face-slapped his taunters in the street, crushed the geniuses in the exam hall, hunted alien beasts in the dead zone, and showed his brilliance at the Martial Arts Academy. He would reclaim everything taken from him, save his childhood sweetheart, face-slap the Ye and Zhao families, and uncover the truth behind the spiritual qi revival.
The world laughs at me for having zero talent, but they don’t know: zero is both the beginning of everything and the end of all things. Only when Lin Ling stood at the pinnacle of the world did he understand: talent was never a shackle. Only by returning to zero could one become invincible!
