Lucian Alden was a genius—an introverted mind obsessed with science, technology, and strategy. Born into poverty, his life was cut short by the envy of a rich heir. But death was not the end.
Reincarnated into a war-torn world of cultivation, where powerful beings wield astral, abyssal, and chaotic energies, Lucian is reborn as Sylas, the son of a noble house in a low-tier kingdom. Yet, unlike others blessed with elemental affinities, he possesses only pure energy—a force considered weak and unpromising.
Refusing to accept fate’s verdict, Sylas turns to the one thing that always set him apart—his intelligence. If traditional cultivation won’t grant him power, he’ll forge his own path, reinventing the very foundation of cultivation itself.
But in a world where abyssals lurk in the shadows, asuras hunger for slaughter, and kingdoms wage endless war, can a forsaken genius carve his name into history? Or will he be swallowed by the chaos that rules this unforgiving world?
One thing is certain—Sylas does not forget, and he does not forgive.
