The Great Ye Dynasty is nearing its end, its national fortunes in decline.
Enemies threaten from without, while troubles brew within.
Countless territories have fallen under rival powers, and the flames of war never cease.
Chen Heng and his family struggle to survive, like countless common folk caught between life and death.
But Chen Heng is different. At the end of each day, he gains one point of Heavenly Will. The more Heavenly Will he has, the faster he learns skills and the easier it is to gain insights.
He has also discovered that 25 points of Heavenly Will is a threshold. Once he crosses it, everything becomes easier, no matter what he does.
And when he accumulates 100 points, he can break through bottlenecks outright.
But Chen Heng only wants to stick to his honest work as a bricklayer, earn a living, and secretly attain sainthood through his mortal body while everyone else is none the wiser.
