In 2050, the Myriad Worlds invade, and humanity retreats behind nine great fortresses. The Awakened stand above ordinary people, while Lin Chen, a mere foot soldier, can't muster even a trace of supernatural power. To the Awakened, he's worthless cannon fodder.
That is, until he falls underground and grips a broken sword of dark gold...
Devour source matter. Forge the blade. Nine stages of the sword path, unmatched in attack.
Others awaken supernatural powers. He awakens a sword.
Others clash with energy, deploy domains, and control laws. He breaks all techniques with a single stroke.
Against the invaders, he won't negotiate, play the saint, or leave anyone alive:
"Earth is my home. Whoever lays a hand on it, I kill."
Later, the gods of the Myriad Worlds forge a saying in blood:
Above the nine heavens, no god dares descend.
