This universe was born sick.
The material world is permanently severed from the Void, and the Ultimate Fear lies buried at its core.
Carl abandoned the world to pursue the Void, using the sea of stars as his game board in a desperate attempt to assimilate the apocalypse and save himself.
An extraterrestrial System descended into this world.
To siphon off the only trace of native Void essence in existence,
it forcibly infused it into Lu Chen, who had transmigrated here,
then suffered a backlash from the laws of nature and sealed away most of its own powers.
No deus ex machina, no mindless domination.
It makes its moves slowly, using missions to set the board and secret gifts to empower its pieces.
Wielding the power of the Void, Lu Chen walks the boundary between reality and unreality,
becoming the only blade capable of restoring balance to a world thrown out of equilibrium.
He fights alongside Qilin, whose fate is bound to his.
With each trial, they continue to break the shackles of destiny.
Ge Xiaolun guards the barriers of reality,
while the Sky Demons, the Three-Pointed Bodies, and the undercurrents of the Styx encircle them on every side.
On one side lies the fate of being consumed by the Void;
on the other, an ancient grand game orchestrated by unseen players.
Lu Chen uses the Void to balance the two extremes.
Together with those at his side, in an age of chaos among the gods,
he will forge a kingly path of balance, one that neither bows to darkness nor yields to the Void.
In short, the book is contracted, updates steadily every day, and has plenty to read.
No awkward power trips, no mindless domination. The plot stays strong throughout, with protection and personal growth both at its heart.
