In a world where magical cultivation reigns supreme, humans wield strange, powerful creatures called Rana — mystical insectoid beings bound to their masters’ will. Revered as tools, slaves, and weapons, the Rana are symbols of power and prestige for the cultivators who dominate the land.
Gu Yue Fangtian was born into this brutal world, but not as a hero — as a victim. Weak, poor, and isolated, he became the target of the cultivators' cruelty. Bullied for his weakness, tortured for entertainment, insulted until his soul cracked, Fangtian was a young man carved from the scars of betrayal and human cruelty. His heart, once capable of hope, drowned under years of humiliation and despair.
On the brink of death, abandoned in the cursed lands where the wild Rana dwell free and untamed, Fangtian made a choice: to become what humanity feared most.
Bonding with the forbidden Rana — creatures so ancient and powerful that even the greatest sects had sealed them away — he shed his humanity. His mind twisted, not with madness, but with clarity. Humanity had rejected him — now he would return the favor.
With his Rana swarms, Fangtian will tear down the cultivation world. No mercy. No forgiveness. No heroes will rise — only the endless hum of wings and the devouring hunger of vengeance.
