Redesign

When modern science tears open the secrets of the universe, spiritual energy, predicted by instruments and confirmed by experiments, sweeps across the world. Celestial anomalies awaken spiritual roots that have lain dormant within humanity for millions of years. Cultivation is no longer a legend from ancient texts, but a new power that can be observed, analyzed, and replicated. Spirit stones are no longer rare treasures of heaven and earth, but energy crystals made by human hands. Cultivation realms are mapped out step by step, while the old order comes crashing down in the tide of awakening. Zhou Ping awakens his spiritual root, but sees clearly what it means to register: he will be swept up and placed under control. He chooses to conceal his identity and forge an uncommon path of body cultivation, training in the secret manual Taotie while hiding among the crowds. As demonic cultivators wreak havoc in the modern world and the major factions scheme against one another, he is forced into the whirlpool of the times as a mysterious figure. He maneuvers among the official cultivator organizations while fighting Yan Jin, a ruthless and vicious enemy. Yet while everyone is caught up in the frenzy of cultivation and power, the celestial anomalies hanging high in the sky have already revealed the cold truth. We think we are awakened ones exploring the universe. Little do we know that perhaps we are merely energy crops, raised to be harvested. From an ordinary person refining qi to traversing the sea of stars. When personal cultivation collides with the survival of civilization and the universe's underlying laws, Zhou Ping will tear back the layers of the curtain and confront the designers' ultimate secret, beyond ascension.
