Tian Huang Zhan Shen

In a savage world where earth veins pulse with power and the heavens threaten to shatter, humanity exists as a fragile race, hunted for their blood by stronger beings. To protect their people, four ancient guardians watched over them, but age eventually claimed their strength. Unable to find worthy successors, they sacrificed themselves, merging their flesh and blood into the wild earth so the world itself could choose their replacements. Years later, Ji Xiaofa, the most gifted prodigy of Jishui Village, falls victim to a cruel deception. Lured by a mysterious woman named Yu Xue, he loses his life wheel, transforming from a celebrated genius into a broken outcast who abandons all hope. When emissaries from Guardian Mountain arrive in Jishui Village to recruit exceptional children as potential successors, Ji Xiaofa is left behind due to his shattered life wheel. Denied entry, he has no choice but to seek training under Master Fox instead. Meanwhile, terrifying threats close in from all sides. Ferocious wild beasts ravage human settlements, and formidable villains begin a slow, deliberate invasion of the human tribes. Stripped of his former glory yet thrust into an era of escalating danger, Ji Xiaofa must confront a brutal destiny that will test everything he has left.
