In a world where humans are mere mortals, and the realm of cultivation and divine beings are absent, can the weak be toyed with by the powerful from higher echelons? This is Long Chen's extraordinary odyssey, born anew from the fiery phoenix ashes, challenging the very notion of exploiting lower worlds. Along the way, he uncovers hidden truths and confronts the dark forces that control these worlds. His new purpose is to protect, oppose, and shape, standing up against oppression. As Long Chen encounters formidable cultivators, even revered gods, his determination remains unwavering. He yearns to reunite with his long-lost parents, a reunion that could either bring him closure or push him further away. Will he embrace them, or sever ties? Will he stay true to his resolve, or succumb to the same temptation that once entangled the Black Dragon? "I am my own master, fate be damned! No matter how many times I stumble, I'll keep rising. As long as I draw breath, there's no surrender in my life," says Long Chen with resolute determination.
