Crossing the Primordial Chaos

People say that everything in fantasy novels is illusion, and reincarnation and destiny are empty talk.

Chen Zhou was an ordinary man on the verge of death, terminally ill and with little time left. Shackled by illness and worn down by reality, he poured everything into writing a million-character novel, but no one ever paid it any attention. He thought his life would simply fade away without a trace.

Then, at a much-anticipated new-book launch, he quietly asked what it meant to be alive. The author, Chen Yanci, revealed the truth in a single sentence: “After seeing the world, still turn toward the light. Only in the depths of despair do we dare fight our way across.”

A car accident. Flames engulfed him, and as he hovered between life and death, the gilded book that held his destiny turned into golden pages and merged with his soul.

No one knew that this hugely popular fantasy epic had never been fiction. The cycles of eras, the shackles of the Great Dao, and the suffering of all living beings described in the book were all real events from the past.

The Heavenly Dao was fixed in place, the path to immortality monopolized, and all living beings sank into a sea of suffering, trapped in endless cycles with no escape.

With his dying body, Chen Zhou arrived bearing the golden pages. He sought neither eternal life nor a seat among the immortals. He only wanted to shatter the shackles of destiny and win a path to survival for the countless ordinary people lost in suffering, to ferry all living beings through this lifetime!

All living beings suffer, and each must save themselves. The road ahead is a bottomless abyss, but we young people will fight our way across!
