In the boundless Sea of Myriad Worlds, every living being receives a Fate Mark from the River of Fate at birth. A Fate Mark determines a person’s potential, the strength of their fortune, and even the length of their life.
Qin Kong, an illegitimate son from a branch of the Qin family in the Xuanhuang Great World, takes part in a Fate Mark assessment ceremony at the age of fifteen. The testing stone remains completely blank. He is judged to be a “Fate Mark-less” nobody, even more worthless than an ordinary mortal.
Cast out by his family and sent to work in a mine, he meets a mysterious old miner named Lao Tie in that land of death. There he learns that he isn’t without a Fate Mark: he possesses the legendary Chaos Fate Mark Progenitor, a primordial state capable of devouring, fusing with, and imitating any Fate Mark!
From then on, Qin Kong sets out to defy fate and reshape his life, rising from an insignificant nobody to a supreme ruler, from a worthless outcast to an eternal guardian!
Fate Mark: A primordial imprint bestowed by the River of Fate upon all living beings at birth. It determines a person’s potential, the strength of their fortune, and even the length of their life. Fate Marks are divided into nine ranks and forty-nine stages, from the ninth stage of Mortal Fate to the Chaos Fate Mark. Each stage is a world apart.
River of Fate: The primordial river that runs through the Myriad Worlds. The paths of all living beings’ fates ebb and flow within it. Legend says that those who can swim upstream to its source can transcend fate, alter the Fate Marks of all living beings, and become the rulers of the Myriad Worlds.
Sea of Myriad Worlds: Countless worlds float like bubbles above the River of Fate, forming the boundless Sea of Myriad Worlds. Each bubble is a complete universe: the Mortal Realm, the Cultivation Realm, the Immortal Realm, the Divine Realm, the Dragon Realm, the Spirit Realm, and more. They exist independently, yet influence one another.
