Seventeen-year-old Chen Xing is a scavenger, living at the darkest bottom in the cyber city dominated by the Huanyu Group. The garbage mountain exudes a putrid stench all day long, like a giant beast lying on the ground, and the acid rain never really stops. Every day he scrounged through the pile of discarded parts for something that could be exchanged for a bite of food, just to survive.
During one rummaging, an inconspicuous mysterious energy core scratched his palm. The moment blood seeped into the core lines, a power that had been dormant for a long time was abruptly awakened.
From that day on, Chen Xing's right eye completely changed.
It can see through the metal shell, capture the subtle flow of spiritual energy in the air, and even sense danger before it approaches. The wound healed abnormally fast, and the skin and flesh shrank back in just a few clicks. But this sudden "talent" did not bring him good luck, but pushed him to the hunting ground.
The Huanyu Group has been secretly arresting "spiritual awakeners", extracting their genes, and refining them into sky-high-priced drugs to make crazy profits in the upper class. As soon as Chen Xing's abnormality was exposed, he was marked with the highest threat level. He finally fought his way out of the deadlock in the testing center. From then on, he could only flee between the narrow alleys of slums, abandoned subway tunnels, and secret underground clinics, without daring to relax for a moment.
On the way to escape, he slowly found out his true identity.
What he possesses is not an ordinary spiritual root at all, but an evolvable spiritual root that has not been seen in the past hundred years - the genetic sequence will be reorganized in real time with the environment, and the ability will grow all the way, with no fixed upper limit.
