The Shackles of the Mortal World

The day heaven and earth changed, Chen Fan was eating a steamed bun. Overnight, cities grew three times taller, giant mountains fell from the sky, plants ran wild and grew into forests, and beasts evolved into primordial monstrosities. Spiritual energy flooded every living thing in the world, yet humanity alone was left at the very bottom of the evolutionary chain.

No System, no cheat, no heaven-defying bloodline. All he had was a watermelon knife that cost 19.9 yuan and his worthless life.

Countless people begged for immortal opportunities and got nowhere. Chen Fan would carve out a path through this insane age with his own two hands.

Until the day he got his first clear look at his bloodline: countless golden chains wrapped around the depths of his bones.

It turned out humanity hadn't been forgotten. It had been shackled.
