I hatched from an egg in a fantasy world with a system screen. I’m not a hero. I’m not even a person anymore. I’m a Helion - the hatchling form of an apex predator, cursed with a hunger that never stops screaming. In this world, if you don’t level up, you’re just meat. And right now? I’m the smallest, most tempting steak in the forest. The System doesn’t care about my morals. It wants me to kill, to evolve, and to climb the weak-to-strong ladder until I’m the one looking down. But every time I sharpen my claws, I feel the human part of me slipping away. Instinct says devour. My conscience says protect. They call me an Alpha - but they’ve never seen a predator who chooses to stand between the monster and the prey. As Helis, the forgotten energy of creation, begins to burn through my veins, the forest is starting to realize I’m not just another beast to be hunted. I’m the one who’s going to change the rules.

In the Azure Sky Continent, true power lies not in personal cultivation, but in the spirit beasts one commands. A tamer without beasts is worthless—mocked, forgotten, and powerless. Jiang Chen, a wandering Foundation Establishment cultivator with zero contracted beasts, is branded the ultimate trash. No one suspects the impossible truth: he is the reincarnation of the Primordial Beast Sovereign, the legendary emperor who once ruled the continent with ten Celestial Divine Beasts at his side. Betrayed and slain a thousand years ago by the jealous Shadow Alliance, his soul has returned—awakened by the mysterious Primordial Beast Sanctuary System. All Jiang Chen desires is a quiet, low-profile life. The system, however, has grander plans: establish a sect, recruit disciples, contract legendary beasts, and reclaim the throne he lost. Reluctantly, he founds the tiny Heavenly Beast Peak Sect in the remote Misty Jade Mountains, accepting only the “talentless trash” discarded by greater powers. Yet miracles follow his every step. The blacksmith’s son awakens a Thunder Wing Eagle. The herbalist’s daughter bonds with a healing Jade Leaf Deer. A disgraced noble commands a primordial Blazing Mane Lion. A merchant’s daughter freezes battlefields with her Frost Wing Butterfly. His enigmatic senior disciple, the breathtaking Qing Yao, hides an even greater secret—she is his loyal Azure Dragon from his past life, now in human form and fiercely determined to stand as his wife. As the unknown sect rises impossibly fast, dominating tournaments and revolutionizing beast taming with forbidden techniques—beasts powering automated forges, farms, and defenses—Jiang Chen’s peaceful dreams shatter. Old enemies awaken. The Shadow Alliance hunts once more. And the continent itself begins to tremble. The forgotten sovereign has returned—and this time, he will not fall alone.
