Primal Source
For twelve years, Qichen lived in quiet mediocrity.
Born into a vast cultivation universe filled with powerful clans, ancient legacies, and monstrous geniuses, he was nothing more than a background character—his talent average, his achievements unimpressive. Most believed he would live and die in obscurity, never rising above the lower ranks of cultivation.
That all changed when he refused to surrender his pills to a stronger cultivator.
Crippled and left for dead, his dantian destroyed, Qichen’s life should have ended in that moment. But instead of death, something far stranger occurred.
As his consciousness slipped, memories of another life awoke—a life from Earth, a world without cultivation, where he had lived as an ordinary man. The sudden flood of knowledge and identity shook him to the core.
And then… his system awakened.
But this wasn’t just any system. Qichen soon discovered that it had been taken—forcibly seized by an unknown and terrifying force before being bound to him in defiance of the universe’s natural laws. The system had been changed, transformed. It no longer obeyed the rules of the world around him.
It had become something beyond the heavens.
As Qichen began to recover, a sacred twelve-colored light erupted from his body, reshaping his crippled form and revealing an unfathomable artifact hidden within him: a Twelve-Petal Lotus.
The lotus was more than a treasure. It was a symbol. A key. A mystery. And perhaps, a weapon.
With his body reforged by divine light, a system no longer shackled by the universe, and a lotus that defied logic and law, Qichen took his first step on a path no one else could walk.
He wasn't a chosen one. He wasn’t a reincarnated powerhouse or the heir of a forgotten bloodline.
He was just a man who refused to bow.
A man who had lost everything… and found something greater.
Now, every breakthrough he makes invites catastrophe. Every step forward draws the attention of ancient powers. The universe itself seems to resist his growth—but he refuses to stop.
Enemies will rise. Myths will awaken. Secrets buried since the dawn of time will unravel.
Qichen will not follow the path set by others. He will forge his own.
He was once weak. Now, he is rising.
Not as a hero. Not as a villain.
But as a force that will reshape the universe.
