The world rests on the Sea of Suffering. Mortals are reflections on water—beautiful, but not truly there. Only cultivation can make you solid enough that reality bothers to remember your name.

Liu Chenming has an Earth-grade spiritual root, a talent that appears once in thousands. His reward? Being plotted against by those meant to protect him, being targeted by powers he can’t yet comprehend.

Liu Chenming realizes karma can be engineered and fates can be arranged. The immortal clans don't just cultivate qi—they cultivate destinies.

To cultivate is to become real—and the path to becoming real is filled with strategy, caution, manipulation, and moral compromise.
