In the year 3030, Earth is nearly destroyed by natural disasters caused by global warming. Just as humanity is on the brink of extinction, the Earth awakens and chooses 15 people to receive ancient cultivation techniques. These Heroes lead humanity into a new era of cultivation.

500 years later, mutated beasts, evolving plants, and mysterious realms reshape the world. Lin Ho, the grandson of one of the original Heroes, struggles to cultivate after his parents disappear in a secret realm. On his 15th birthday, his necklace breaks, releasing a golden light that awakens a legendary power inside him—the Chaos Bloodline.

A new destiny begins.

Awakening of Chaos

The moment Lin Ho touched the starlight sphere, the chamber began to tremble.

The pool of bones beneath the sphere cracked open — not from impact, but as if something ancient had awakened below. Strange symbols etched into the floor flared with rusted crimson light, forming an intricate sigil that pulsed with resentment and grief.

Elder Mo stepped forward urgently.

> "Lin Ho, step back! That is no mere memory fragment. It's a Seal of Binding!"

The light had wrapped around his arm, not to bind — but to beckon. Within it, he saw a boy. Alone, born with swirling black and gold in his veins. A kingdom that feared him. A crown he never wore. Betrayal. Sacrifice.

And finally, the burial — the seal.

> "It… wasn't for protection," Lin Ho whispered. "It was exile. They cast a Chaos Bloodline heir into the depths and locked him away."

The light flared again. A voice echoed.

> "You… are me. Or what I should have been."

A pulse exploded outward from the sphere. The elders shielded themselves as the entire Heart Chamber began to collapse.

> "We must leave!" Elder Qiu shouted. "He's triggering the ruin's final lock!"

Lin Ho opened his eyes, now tinged with silver and gold. The light sphere had vanished, absorbed into him. The bones below had turned to dust.

In the silence that followed, only one thing remained: a crystal shard, glowing faintly, hovering where the sphere had once been.

Elder Mo floated to it and examined the shard.

> "This… this is a Starbone Memory Crystal. It holds bloodline inheritance and divine techniques."

Lin Ho took the shard and placed it inside his storage ring without comment.

But something had changed. Within him, Chaos Qi no longer swirled wildly. It moved with purpose, guided by ancient instincts. A technique had formed — not through learning, but remembering.

A divine ability meant to invert any energy back to its source — even laws and fate.

When they emerged from the sunken ruin, the waves had calmed. But far on the horizon, a strange mist loomed — unnatural, heavy.

But somewhere beyond the waves, in the deepest part of the abyss, something had stirred again.

Something older than even Chaos itself.
