The Seven Realms

Lin Chen, nicknamed "Lin Three Seconds": whenever he summons a spirit, he is on his knees three seconds later.

The "Heaven" of this world has its own agenda. Born with consciousness because the rules were incomplete, it sees all living beings as threats. Every ten thousand years, it brings down a reckoning and harvests the strong. Cultivation has seven realms and seven inner demons. With every step forward, cultivators must face their deepest obsessions.

He starts out as a lowly night patrolman and is accidentally drawn into a thousand-year game between the Dark Abyss, the great clans, and the demon race. People around him come and go, then come back again. And he himself goes from barely lasting three seconds to standing tall, from wanting only to survive to wanting to protect a few people.

Obsession becomes a blade, cutting down the Heavenly Dao and himself alike.

But he doesn't know what it means when he feels "someone watching." Nor does he know that certain people and certain things are hidden where he cannot see, waiting for a long, long time.
