A grain of dust can fill the ocean, and an ordinary blade of grass can cut down the stars.
While everyone in the world seeks the remains of ancient true spirits and longs to merge with the precious blood of the Ten Fiends, he chooses to burn every divine bone within him. With a mortal body, he will forge a path no one has ever taken.
This is a story about choice, not inheritance.
In a chaotic age of countless races and competing sages, the youth Shi Yan leaves a remote frontier village. He has no innate Supreme Bone and no ancestral legacy, yet discovers that he can resonate with the myriad ways of heaven and earth. He can hear the pulse of mountains and rivers, the breath of streams, and even sense the traces of the Dao left in the world by ancient ferocious beasts long since fallen.
As the great sacred lands frantically excavate ancient ruins in search of a drop of True Dragon blood or a single phoenix feather, Shi Yan makes a daring choice: he burns away every foreign bloodline within him, using his body as a furnace and his soul as its flame to forge a Dao of his own, one for mortals.
This is not a story of a useless underdog turning the tables. It is an epic about how mortals create miracles with their own hands in an age without them.
From a remote frontier village to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, from a ridiculed "boneless waste" to the founder of the Dao Forgers, Shi Yan spends his life proving that true strength has never come from inheriting the embers of those who came before. It comes from kindling a flame of one's own.
As the Age of Dao Seeds, revered by all races, draws to a close, the Mortal Era of Dao Forging begins here.
