Mythology Returns: Why Are There Twelve Divine Runes Hidden in My Body?

[Urban] [Academy] [Superpowers] (The rating just opened, but it’ll rise later) [Mythology] [Classic of Mountains and Seas] (Prehistoric times, Investiture of the Gods, Mountains and Seas: all the mythology you want is here) Not invincible + one heroine + character growth + academy + points rankings Myths have never been mere stories. Thousands of years ago, the planes fell into chaos, and an otherworldly artifact called the “Emperor’s Bell of Annihilation” tore through the sky and replaced the sun. Whenever the bell rang, otherworldly creatures known as “Calamity Chimes” surged through the rifts and slaughtered all living things. To protect all life, every being in Chinese mythology, gods, Buddhas, demons, sages, and even the heroic souls of past dynasties, made the ultimate sacrifice. They turned their divine powers into “spirit patterns,” scattering them throughout the bloodlines of ordinary people, and shattered their own origins. This sealed the Emperor’s Bell’s main rift and won humanity fifteen hundred years of respite. A thousand years later, no one remembered that war. The world carried on as usual, and the sun rose each day. Until one day, the lingering echo of a bell pierced the mortal world. A chosen boy opened his eyes. He carried the hopes of humanity. What he had to protect was his family, the truth, and a long-lost crown. Myths did not die. They have been waiting for someone all along. And the protagonist, Liu Tianyang, is an eighteen-year-old boy with twelve spirit patterns inside him!? And the first few are all monkeys...? What, Wuzhiqi and the Six-Eared Macaque...! Is Great Sage Sun in there too?
