Abyssal Symbiosis
Abyssal rifts tear the earth apart, and bloodthirsty abyssal beasts overrun the globe. Human civilization collapses overnight.
Ninety percent of people will never awaken supernatural powers in their lifetimes. They can only serve as stepping stones for the Awakened and food for the abyssal beasts. The Executive Committee monopolizes abyssal energy, claiming to save the world while ruling as dictators. Anyone who dares to resist will find a blade from the Shadow Bureau at their throat.
Chen Mo is one of the lowest of the low, a “cripple.” His parents were silenced after stumbling upon the Executive Committee's dark secrets. He lives in a tin shack, surviving by scavenging, until the Awakened use him as bait and toss him into an abyssal beast's nest. As he teeters on the brink of death, he steps on a rusty bracelet. A cold female voice bursts into his mind:
“My name is Qin Ran. They kept me locked up for five years. From now on, your life belongs to me.”
Others can cultivate only one kind of supernatural power, but he awakens the Abyssal Origin Symbiosis, allowing him to devour the strength of any abyssal beast he kills. He can cultivate supernatural powers, temper his body, and train his soul, all at once!
Others are easily controlled by psychic Awakened, but at his side is the novel's strongest wielder of soul laws. He's immune to illusions and unbeatable at counter-espionage, and he can tear apart his enemies' minds with a wave of his hand!
The Iron Marshal of the Western Desert detonates his mechanical domain to take the enemy army down with him. Stone Jian, a hard-hitting fighter with a purely physical build, punches open the gates of an S-rank overlord's stronghold. The Mountain Lord of Eastern River dies with his name cleared, while the stoic girl Yun Shuang crushes the mountains beneath her feet and rises to the top. Yan Feng of the Central Plains is arrogant and unruly, but in the end, he bows his head and submits.
Just when everyone thinks the age of the overlords has ended, Chen Mo leads the Dawn Army out of the wasteland. He tramples the Executive Committee's corpses and rises step by step to become the Central Domain Lord. Then he unites the five great overlords to form a human resistance alliance, vowing to overthrow this dark dictatorship.
