In his previous life, Lan Yuan was a food delivery worker. After being struck dead by a bolt of purple-gold heavenly lightning, he was reborn as the legitimate imperial prince of the Lan Kingdom.
At his birth, purple qi streamed from the east and dragons roared through the heavens. The seven kingdoms were shaken, and everyone declared that a child of destiny had arrived. Then, at the age of four, he accidentally touched a spiritual aptitude orb and was found to possess the most useless kind of mixed spiritual roots. Overnight, the child of destiny became the laughingstock of the seven kingdoms. The Lie Kingdom's armies pressed at the border, spies from the other six kingdoms lurked nearby, and everyone waited to see how he would die.
But they didn't know that his mixed spiritual roots were fake. The divine-grade Fortune-Ancestor Root within him was simply hidden too deep by the System.
He outwitted envoys from the Yao Kingdom before the palace, slew four rat demons in the hunting grounds, and risked his life to save his brother in Death Valley. With his supposedly useless spiritual roots, he shattered expectations again and again. At last, the Lie Kingdom could no longer sit still. The six kingdoms joined forces to hire assassins and drive him into a corner. Yet beneath the depths of Death Valley, an even greater truth awaited discovery.
When foreign races invade and the Eight Gods Defense Line collapses, with the fate of the seven kingdoms hanging by a thread, the prince once mocked for his mixed spiritual roots will become the continent's last hope.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchen lounged among the clouds, chewing a hamburger as he watched the monitoring screen, then burped with satisfaction.
From delivery worker to savior, from mixed spiritual roots to the Fortune-Ancestor Root: this is the story of a man chosen by fate who ultimately chose to become fate itself.
