> After dying in a tragic accident while saving a child, Wang Hao wakes up in the body of a frail boy named Shi Yao in a cultivation world known as Tianlun. This world is divided into six continents, and Shi Yao finds himself in the weakest of them — the Southern Kingdom. To his dismay, he inherits a body with shattered meridians, rendering him unable to cultivate and viewed as useless by those around him.
Initially cared for by a mysterious, strong young woman who calls herself his sister, Shi Yao begins to piece together the tragic life his new body endured — orphaned, bullied, and left powerless in a world where might is everything. Despite his despair, he remains unwilling to give up. He searches for a system or advantage like those found in stories, but nothing comes.
His chance comes unexpectedly. After being gravely injured during a beast attack while walking with a village boy named Li Wuji, Shi Yao is rescued by a dying cultivator named Bai Ling. In her final moments, Bai Ling gifts him the Heaven Devouring Pulse Art, a forbidden technique that allows him to absorb the energy of others and use it to strengthen himself. Alongside this, she implants a Meridian Seed into his body — a final, painful chance to rebuild what was lost.
As Shi Yao endures the agony of regeneration, he steps onto a dark and uncertain path. His journey is no longer about survival — it's about defying fate, challenging the heavens, and discovering what price he's willing to pay for power.
