The Age of Spirit Ruins: From Good-for-Nothing to Supreme of the Universe

Three years ago, Lin Chen was a natural spirit physique rarely seen in a century at the Qingyun Sect, personally chosen by the Sect Master as a direct disciple. Three years later, his spiritual roots were shattered, and he became a menial servant, covered in scars and subjected to endless bullying.

At sixteen, he curled up in a drafty wooden hut. The star-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder blade was the only thing his mother had left behind before she disappeared. When his tormentors tore open his wounds once more, the birthmark suddenly lit up. A warm current repaired his shattered spiritual roots, and spiritual energy flooded into him. In just half an hour, he broke through to the first level of Qi Gathering, advancing ten times faster than he had before!

Only then did he learn that this was no birthmark, but a fragment of the Eternal Star Spirit Core, as well as the key to unlocking the truth behind his shattered spiritual roots.

Lin Chen used his reputation as a “good-for-nothing” to quietly grow stronger, refining spiritual energy and repairing his meridians with the star imprint. As he investigated the truth behind his parents’ disappearance, he laid his plans in secret: from striking back against cruel servants in the servant quarters to discovering an ancient ruin in the back mountains; from exposing the conspiracy of inner-sect disciple Zhang Hao to probing the deals between the Qingyun Sect and forces from beyond the realm.

As his investigation went deeper, he was shocked to discover that his parents were spirit-clan warriors who guarded the barrier around the Spirit Ruins, and that the ones who had destroyed his spiritual roots were remnants of the Netherworld Clan, coveting the Spirit Core.

As the balance of power among the sects of the Eastern Domain crumbled and the seals on the Spirit Ruins loosened, a thousand-year feud between the Netherworld Clan, the Mechanical Spirit Clan, and the Star Spirit Clan came to light. This young man who had risen from the servant quarters would one day wield the complete Cosmic Spirit Core and stand at the border between the Spirit Ruins Continent and dimensions beyond, making those who had looked down on him gaze up in awe. He would find his family, end the interdimensional war, and embark on the path to becoming the supreme being of the universe.
