When heaven and earth first came into being, the gods established the laws: immortals enjoyed worship, humans followed the cycle of reincarnation, and demons dwelled in the wilderness.
Everyone believed that gods controlled life and death, immortals lived in carefree freedom, humans were like ants, and demons were bloodthirsty and savage.
That changed when a boy named Lu Chen crawled out of a mass grave. He saw with his own eyes how the “gods,” in order to repair the heavens, drained the souls of a hundred thousand mortals. Then he encountered a “demon” that slaughtered a cultivation sect who had come to seize its land, all to protect a stretch of forest.
What is a god? Just an aloof being who devours people.
What is an immortal? Just a hypocritical, self-serving creature with refined manners.
What are humans? Just vermin struggling to survive in the cracks.
What are demons? Just outsiders who do as they please.
When the gods are no longer benevolent and the immortals no longer transcend the world, Lu Chen decides to take a path no one has ever walked: with a mortal body, he will steal the fortune of heaven and earth, slay gods, subdue immortals, transform into a demon, and reshape the universe!
This is a bloody feast of overturned beliefs, with every step taken on the edge between life and death.
