Chapter Summaries

Ji Xinghuo suspected that the mysterious gemstone causing his recurring dreams was an extraordinarily rare Ability Seed and touched it to his eye in an attempt to fuse with it. The gemstone vanished, and he collapsed in agony as the vision of the Tunguska-like explosion returned.
