In the nuclear-war wasteland, radiation runs rampant and civilization has collapsed. Chen Yan transmigrates into the body of an exiled young pioneer, left alone on the edge of toxic soil. On the brink of death from hunger, his eyes awaken, allowing him to see the hidden attributes of all things.
He digs up clay that can purify water and plants the first crop of radiation-resistant wheat. Word gets out, and waves of refugees flock to him. The greedy try to seize his crops and land, so he lays down a rule: anyone who does not work does not eat.
He forms a farming-and-fighting corps, reclaiming land by day and training soldiers by night. He builds walls from mutated vines, recruits venomous wasps as troops, and floods the enemy by blowing up a dam. From one man with a hoe to an alliance of thousands, he rekindles the flame of civilization atop the ruins.
