Don't answer the door after the lights go out.
If someone calls your name, don't look back.
Lu Jin has understood since he was a child that if others don't give you something like life, you have to take it yourself.
But he never imagined that the night disaster that swept through the border town would pull him out of the mud and push him into a world that was far more cruel than the border town.
Immortal gates hang high, the Kingdom of God is everywhere, the steel city-state roars like thunder, the mage tower pierces the clouds, the ancient church sings forbidden prayers on the sea, weird things are rampant in the seam, and indescribable things are looking down beyond the stars.
And he, with low qualifications and humble origins, only has a black bone fragment that can see the "reverberation".
He can see opportunities and he can also see costs.
He can see the way to life, and he can also see the things hidden behind the way to life.
This is a mortal cultivating immortality.
It is also a story about mortals learning not to be eaten in a huge and crazy world.
