   A hundred years ago, a global tidal catastrophe struck, and monsters appeared out of nowhere. Initially, they appeared sporadically, and humanity paid little attention. However, within a year, terrifying monsters swept across the entire world. Various vengeful spirits, evil spirits, and bizarre monsters rampaged through humanity, and cities fell one after another. Nuclear bombs and firearms had little effect on most high-level monsters. A hundred years after the catastrophe, the human population plummeted to one-tenth of its pre-disaster level. Daytime was barely manageable, but after nightfall, city ruins and wilderness became hunting grounds for monsters. In this desperate situation, humanity discovered the only way to survive: to form a contract with a Soul, becoming a Sequencer. Every person undergoes an awakening ceremony at the age of sixteen, receiving a destiny token from their childhood first birthday celebration. Only by possessing a Soul can one be qualified to fight against monsters and survive peacefully in the apocalypse. Jiang Xun was an abandoned orphan who suffered bullying at school. On the day he awakened, he failed to awaken. His classmates, who had gone berserk after going into a qi deviation, attacked him. In the midst of the crisis, the system awakened, and Jiang Xun gained his own life soul and a long spear. Jiang Xun used the spear to kill his classmates and embarked on an invincible path of infinite evolution. Along the way, he was decisive in killing monsters, saving the world, and winning the heart of a beauty.
