Twenty years after the spiritual qi revival.
Spatial rifts tear the world apart, strange beasts run rampant in the wilderness, and high-dimensional pollution relentlessly erodes reality.
Humanity has established a new order by relying on supernatural abilities.
But Lin Yuan awakened what is widely considered the most useless ability of all: an F-rank object-type power that takes the form of a battered fishing rod.
His mentor shakes his head. His classmates laugh at him.
Everyone thinks the greatest achievement of his life will probably be finding a river and settling down to fish in peace.
Until one day, he discovers that some of the things he reels in are not quite right.
A children's water pistol that can purify pollution, a sun umbrella that can block observation, crayons that can draw concepts into reality, a fishhook that can reel in the core of a high-dimensional life-form... He can even fish up extraordinary treasures and rules from the Myriad Worlds.
While others are still painstakingly cultivating their abilities, Lin Yuan has already begun fishing for opportunities across countless worlds.
Yet with each catch, he gradually discovers that his fishing rod is no F-rank ability at all. Its true name is the Sky-Hanging Rod, one of the Nine Source Artifacts, and a forbidden object pursued by countless high-dimensional civilizations.
At the same time, a secret buried by the Federation for sixty years begins to surface.
The Ashen Civilization, seven ancient gates, a corridor through time, generations of rod-bearers, and the terrifying being standing at the edge of the world, gazing down upon the Myriad Worlds.
When the first gate opens, the hook of fate has already been cast.
And this time, what will be hauled in: an opportunity... or the entire world?
Faced with the shock and questions of countless powerful figures, Lin Yuan merely grips his fishing rod and grins:
"A true angler never comes home empty-handed."
"I can fish up anything, not just fish."
