Chen Wenshu was born in Falling Star Village with a useless spirit root that couldn't even be measured.
By the rules of this world, he was destined to remain an ordinary mortal, as insignificant as an ant.
Cultivators established the order, sects ruled the land, and mortals were merely nourishment for the spirit veins.
Then one day, Falling Star Village was destroyed, and he fell into a deep pit beneath the village.
There, he touched a broken stele carved with the character "Slay."
From that moment on, he embarked on a path that set him against the entire world.
Cultivators follow the Heavenly Dao, borrowing spiritual energy to prolong their lives.
He would slay the Heavenly Dao, replacing the laws of all things with his own will.
The Three Sovereigns called him an anomaly, and the Twelve Sects hunted him for thirty thousand miles.
He said, "You cultivate through plunder. I slay injustice."
This is the path of a useless spirit root who slays the Dao,
and an epic tale of mortals awakening, a cast of heroes rising, and the old order being destroyed.
