Summary

The story begins at the end of the 21st century. As Earth's environment continues to deteriorate, the advanced weapons used during World War III accelerate human genetic mutation: lifespans shorten and fertility declines, yet people gain various extraordinary powers. After the war ends, Hua Tianlong, a youth from a remote mountain village, discovers that he possesses a special brain-domain ability that gives his mind extremely fast processing speed. By chance, he obtains a mysterious and powerful system, and because of it becomes the common enemy of countless universes. Forced to leave his homeland, he travels to a foreign continent, where through system missions he learns magic and battle aura. He then undergoes training in a magical beast forest, sect conflicts, and interstellar journeys, cultivating nine powers one by one—superpower, battle aura, magic, true qi, vital qi, martial spirit, mysterious qi, true martial arts, and mysterious spirit. He slays powerful foes, makes sworn brothers, and climbs toward the pinnacle of martial arts amid the entanglements of love and hate.

Editor's review

This is the first long-form fantasy by a new author. The framework of the system genre and multi-system cultivation is clear, and the world expands continuously from an apocalyptic Earth to a foreign continent and then to multiple universes, with dense pacing of leveling and battles. It suits readers who enjoy system-based, leveling-focused, passionate cultivation stories. Its weaknesses are that a long stretch of background exposition at the opening slows the narrative, the setting elements are rather miscellaneous, and the author states that he does not write according to common popular-novel conventions, so patience is required.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers who enjoy system-based, leveling-focused fantasy
Readers who prefer a worldview moving from an apocalyptic Earth to a foreign continent and multi-universe expansion
Readers who can accept lengthy setting exposition and a slow-burn opening

Not a good fit for

Readers who want an immediate climax and brisk, satisfying pacing
Readers who prefer strict logical systems and dislike miscellaneous settings

Reading tips

Skip the long environmental argument at the opening and start from the chapters where the protagonist appears and obtains the system.
Pay attention to the progression order of the nine power systems; brief notes can help you understand later battles.
Don't obsess over setting details; focus on character growth, brotherhood, and the lines of grievance and revenge.
