Polished Version: General Synopsis for Three Platforms (Steady and Understated, Ideal for a Cultivation Novel)
On the remote frontier of the Southern Domain, amidst barren mountains and harsh lands, a boy grows up in an isolated mountain village. His parents died of illness when he was young, leaving him alone and helpless. Fortunately, an elderly village schoolteacher takes him in, and he barely manages to survive.
He possesses the rarest kind of spiritual root in the world: a complete set of ten. It seems perfect, but it is impure and unruly, leaving him unable to draw qi into his body and earning him a reputation as a born good-for-nothing.
When he is twelve, the boy goes into the mountains to gather firewood and accidentally encounters a middle-aged cultivator, covered in blood and at death's door.
This man was once a collateral member of a minor family in the Central Province. By chance, he entered an ancient secret realm and seized an astonishing treasure: a universal origin capable of helping someone transcend the ultimate Divine Emperor realm, coveted by the gods and Divine Emperors of the Divine Realm.
The origin is shattered and sent tumbling into the void during a fierce struggle among powerful cultivators, eventually falling into the mortal realm. The man is lucky enough to obtain it, but draws a relentless pursuit from countless enemies. He flees, burning his lifeblood along the way and exhausting his natal treasures, before barely making it to the Southern Domain.
On the brink of death, the cultivator tries to possess the boy's body and use his complete spiritual roots to live another life.
But his soul is shattered and his remaining spirit is too weak. The possession fails, and instead the boy's body devours him.
A possession gone awry, and an opportunity to enter the immortal path falling from the heavens.
From then on, the village good-for-nothing carries the Divine Emperor's origin within him, inheriting the cultivator's memories and foundation of cultivation.
Once a commoner scorned by all, he now takes his first step onto the immortal path. With mortal bones carrying a divine foundation, he rises from obscurity in the Southern Domain, defies the heavens step by step, and sweeps across the myriad worlds, ultimately becoming the universe's sole Guardian, one who has transcended the Divine Emperor realm and is no longer bound by the cosmos,
