In his seventeen years of life, Lin Chen has learned one thing above all: accept your fate.
With a counterfeit five-element spiritual root, he cultivates at only one-tenth the speed of others. In three years as an outer-sect disciple, the word he has heard most is “trash,” and the look he has received most is contempt. At the sect tournament, he loses in a single move and is humiliated in front of everyone. When missions are assigned, he is placed in the exploration team with the highest fatality rate, sent to die in the Bloodshade Secret Realm.
No one cares whether he lives or dies.
Not even he does.
Until one night, as he tends his wounds alone, something dormant inside him suddenly awakens. He “sees” a presence deep in the back mountains, something beyond the laws of the world.
Vast. Profound. Pure as a deity above the Ninth Heaven.
He doesn't know who it is or what it means. He only knows that, in a world where everyone sees him as worthless, this is the first thing that makes him feel alive.
At that very moment, deep in the distant back mountains, a blood-soaked youth opens his eyes and looks in Lin Chen's direction.
“Found you,” the youth says.
Who is he? Why has he come? Why choose a nobody the sect has forgotten?
Lin Chen has no idea.
He only knows that from the moment he meets Yun Che, his fate can never go back to what it was.
A genius with a heavenly spiritual root publicly names him as his attendant. The saintess everyone desires regards him as a romantic rival. Assassination attempts and frame-ups come one after another, and each time Lin Chen narrowly escapes death, the aloof, immortal-like youth grows closer to him.
But Lin Chen doesn't dare believe it.
He doesn't dare believe that the guidance in the dead of night, the protection in times of danger, and the willingness to risk his life when death is near are all because, he is him.
Is there something missing from Chapter 4? Why can't I read it well? Is that the boy who has ever woken up? Why didn't I know he had woken up?
