Shen Yan died in the laboratory. When he opened his eyes again, he had become a handyman in the animal pen of Qingyun Sect in Tianheng Realm who had just been killed by a wild beast.
Wild beasts are everywhere here, and martial arts determines destiny. Some people can enter the Sixth Academy and practice superior martial arts since they are born, but some people don't even have their own bodies. They can only be written into the medicine book by the sect and become consumables for testing medicine, refining animals, and carrying souls.
Shen Yan only has one ability - phagocytosis.
As long as he takes the initiative to touch a living creature, he can swallow part of the opponent's physical characteristics. Strength, toughness, perception and even wild beast talents may become the materials for him to reshape himself. But the more things he takes away, the heavier the backlash his body will bear; once he exceeds the upper limit, what he swallows may not be his strength, but his own life.
Starting from a roster of people who were still receiving rations for the dead, Shen Yan discovered that missing servants, alienated wild beasts, underground medicine warehouses and spiritual threads all over the place were being connected by an invisible hand.
In the tightly ordered world of Tianheng, it is never just wild beasts that cannibalize people.
In order to survive, and to let those who were written into the dead account regain their names, Shen Yan could only use all things as materials and flesh and blood as a furnace to build his own body inch by inch.
Until one day, he will use this multi-faceted body to break open the door that weighs on the heads of all ordinary people.
