Mortal Chaos Era

In AD 3000, spiritual energy has been revived for a thousand years. The civilization of the old era came to an end, and the Human Federation took control of the world. The twenty-seven main dome cities were the only remaining refuges for mankind, and the vast land was reduced to a barbaric wilderness where monsters were rampant. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is locked within the dome, and ordinary monks are not allowed to cast spells. Once the spiritual roots are detected, they have to choose one of two: either seal the spiritual roots and become a mortal with a lifespan of a hundred years, or abandon the household registration and permanently exile in the wilderness full of dangers. Chen Ming, a young man from Nancheng, was born with four elements of waste. The four elements of metal, wood, water, and fire are in conflict with each other. His cultivation path has been painful step by step, but there is a trace of the origin of chaos hidden in his body that no one knows about. Seventeen years ago, my parents, who possess the two supreme spiritual roots of heaven and ice, stepped into the wilderness alone. All identity files were completely wiped out by the top dignitaries in the capital, leaving only two volumes of exercises and an unsolved disappearance mystery. After the spiritual root survey, Chen Ming did not want to be trapped in the city that he could see all the way, so he walked out of the dome with the obsession of finding his relatives. He only has a short sword, a bag of dry food, and no means of protection. This world is not only filled with monsters and casual cultivators, but also the federal forces where the reformers are rampant, the ghost cultivators under the official control, and the remnant data souls wandering outside the surveillance area. The top dignitaries seek immortality by plundering the spiritual roots of others, while the mortals and casual cultivators at the bottom become consumables that can be exploited. Chen Ming embarked on a long and wild road with unknown future, slowly practicing while harmonizing the conflicting spiritual energy, while collecting tiny clues about the disappearance of his parents. In the following years, he spent time in the sect, experienced ups and downs in the officialdom, and saw through the endless greed behind immortality. Finally, with a mortal heart, he wandered among the three forces of monks, reformers and the federation to maintain the chaotic balance in the world.
