Source energy erupts, mutants run rampant, and humanity retreats behind towering walls.
Fang Chen has no records or identity. He can’t even register for the college entrance exam.
He is the orphan of a fallen soldier, and the most invisible illegal resident in all of Qingcheng.
Everyone thinks this is all his life will ever amount to.
Until one day, his splitting headache breaks open.
His mental powers awaken.
He can hear the heartbeat of everyone in an entire building, sense murderous intent two hundred meters away, and make the dark-gold dagger his late father left him unfold in his palm into thirty-two blades that arrange themselves in midair.
The leaf-splitting blades leap from their sheath, dart through the air, whirl around him to protect him, then scatter like rain to seal his enemies’ throats.
His teacher says, “Your mental talent ranks first among psychics worldwide.”
His opponent says, “Just you wait. My father is the commander of Haicheng.”
Fang Chen simply wipes the blood from his blade. “Your father? I just took him into custody.”
When he stands before the world’s strongest at a global summit and pins his enemy to the tribunal, everyone thinks this is the end.
But deep in the ocean trenches, the “Mother,” worshipped for generations by the mutants, is beginning to awaken.
And humanity has never truly owned this planet.
