Twenty years ago, fragments of dark matter fell to Earth, giving rise to supernatural abilities and mutant beasts. Human civilization entered the apocalyptic era.
The Xiao family, a military dynasty of the Hanxia State, has guarded the nation's borders for generations. Xiao Chuan, its third-generation heir, was born with extraordinary signs and reached the advanced ability realm at age ten. Yet his father hid him among the common folk of Jiangdong City, under an assumed name.
The first half of his life was spent searching for his missing father. He believed that if he grew strong enough, he could find his father and protect those around him.
Only when the seal in the deep sea shattered and a chaos behemoth broke free did he learn the truth: his father had long ago become the seal itself, trading his life for eight years of respite for humanity.
This is the fate etched into the Xiao family's very bones: born in Huaxia, guarding its land, protecting all living beings.
He inherited his father's legacy and, before the eyes of humanity, plunged into the deep sea alongside the chaos behemoth, sacrificing himself to forge the seal anew.
But fate offered him another path: seize the chaos behemoth's body and return bearing the legacy of the cosmos.
From a "monster" hated by all humanity to the navigator leading human civilization into the stars; from protecting a single homeland to fighting for a chance at survival for all humanity in the cosmos.
He crossed interstellar dust and strode through the abyss of chaos, using the power of devouring to overturn the laws of the universe, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of creation.
Yet throughout his life, all he ever wanted was not to rule the universe, but to protect the world his father gave his life to save, and the person waiting for him to come home to the little courtyard.
