Global Scavenging: I Conquer the Universe with Infinite Brands

[Urban Supernatural Powers + Infinite Flow + Coming of Age] Fifty years ago, the Black Moon appeared in the multiverse. One universe after another collapsed, and glorious civilizations fell one by one. The dead worlds did not vanish completely. They became fragments of worlds, scattered across the cosmos. The fragments brim with the embers of lost worlds and hide the cultivation arts, divine artifacts, and imprints of powerful figures from bygone eras. One person in ten thousand can have their soul ignited by the embers and forge a Soul Furnace of their own, becoming an Inheritor. An ordinary VR psychological assessment for high school seniors was actually a secret government screening for Ember compatibility. A miniature fragment that should have remained dormant suddenly awakened, dragging every examinee into a deadly rules-based trial. The instant they cleared it, Li Qingyan shoved her brother, Li Jinyi, through a massive escape gate. She remained forever on the other side. Li Jinyi unexpectedly awakens a one-of-a-kind refining talent. Other people's Soul Furnaces have only two slots for imprints, binding them in chains for life. But he can refine discarded imprints into emberfire, temper his Soul Furnace, and break the iron law that says imprints cannot coexist. The Ji Que government, the financial conglomerate Ark Group, the underground gray market, and outsiders from across the multiverse all take the stage in turn. He travels through one dangerous fragment trial after another, searching for imprints, building up his strength, and desperately searching for his missing sister. But as his power rises step by step, the truth behind the Black Moon, the conservation of universal energy, and the passing of the flame slowly comes to light. He never imagined that a devastating secret lay hidden behind the golden finger he had always relied on.
