A useless youth whose fate was switched awakens the forbidden Art of Fate Theft
With every doomed fate he steals, he gains another layer of power and another ghostly roommate.
It isn't until he reaches the ninth layer that he discovers the truth: he is the greatest stolen relic in all of creation.
Su Xian has a lowly, ninth-grade fate. After sixteen years of cultivation, he has made no progress, and people have treated him like an ant to be crushed for half his life.
On the night his heavenly fate is illuminated, a wisp of an impossible fate-shadow slips into his body, and a seal-script mark reading “Steal” appears in his palm. The Fate-Stealing Seal, forbidden by the Fate Pavilion ten thousand years ago, has awakened.
The Art of Fate Theft lets him steal the remnants of a dead person's fate and claim their abilities as his own.
He steals his first doomed fate, going from useless nobody to Fate-Tempering cultivator. With a single sword strike, he shatters a genius's spirit weapon and smashes the legitimate heir's face in before the entire clan.
He steals a second doomed fate and his cultivation surges, but he discovers that he sometimes says other people's words and makes their movements. The ghosts' consciousnesses are eating away at him.
He steals a third doomed fate, and the nine-layer abyss in his sea of consciousness sinks to the third layer. Something at the bottom is watching him, hungry and patient.
Then he discovers
His fate is not that of an ant.
Someone used a forbidden art to steal his fate when he was born, and sealed away his original power with three locks.
The one who switched their fates is the person who treated him best.
The most powerful demon hunting him has a face identical to his own.
And the truth behind the Art of Fate Theft is far more terrifying than “stealing”
Ten thousand years ago, the fates of the entire world were stolen from the Guixu, ill-gotten spoils.
The Art of Fate Theft isn't theft. It's repayment.
With every fate he steals, he collects a debt for the Guixu.
When he reaches the ninth layer, he must personally return the entire world.
