In the barren deserts of the Western Regions, countless races vie for power and prodigies rise everywhere. Yet no one knows that the soul of the Ancestral Dragon, asleep for billions of years, has long since taken root inside Su Hao, the lowliest of mine slaves.
Betrayed by his people and thrown into a death mine to dig until he died, Su Hao is on the brink of death when the Ancestral Dragon awakens. He thinks this golden finger will let him defy fate, only to discover that the so-called power of the Ancestral Dragon is actually an apocalyptic trap targeting the Myriad Worlds.
Under the name of a good-for-nothing, he plays the pig to eat the tiger, advancing step by step amid the bloody struggles of sects, dynasties, and ancient clans. His only companion, “Shadow,” is an enigma, both friend and foe.
From escaped slave of a death mine, to ruler of the Western Regions, to a forbidden figure across the heavens, Su Hao delivers face-slapping after face-slapping to the prodigies, repays blood debts with blood, and tears conspiracies apart. He won't be the chosen one of fate. He'll be the Ancestral Dragon of the Western Regions, master of his own life and death.
In this life, whoever blocks his path will be crushed. Whoever schemes against him will be uprooted!
