The spiritual qi revival was no divine gift from the heavens. It began when the small heavenly will of a secret realm, unwilling to serve as a stepping stone for others to level up across the myriad heavens, rebelled and crashed down onto Earth!
Only one person in a million awakens, and the supernatural belongs to a tiny minority. He is a freshly graduated delivery rider, hustling through a torrential downpour to scrape together his university tuition. An accident while delivering a meal leaves him struck by the source of a secret realm, making him the only agent of its will in the human world.
His cousin swaggered around after a false awakening, while relatives mocked and sneered. His parents were turned away when they tried to borrow money, forced to endure one cold look after another. Lin Chen lowered his head and said nothing, with only one thought in his heart: protect his family first, then defend all living beings.
His heaven-defying comprehension lets him grasp every technique in a single thought. At his side are a brilliant strategist and beauty, a divine beast born alongside the secret realm, and supreme guidance from a remnant soul of the primordial era. He also has a sharp-tongued, funny, slightly lame retired soldier for a companion, who joins him in charging through every deadly trial.
When the gods descend, intent on turning Earth into nourishment, and the myriad races close in, bent on using humanity as a stepping stone, Lin Chen stands atop the walls of Canglan City and says calmly, “I came up from delivering takeout. I don’t seek godhood, only a world where no one can bully the weak.”
