Dark Bloodline (progenitor)

Synopsis

They buried an entire race in the sand and called it the natural order. On the supercontinent of Pangaea, only one bloodline is allowed to climb. The fair-skinned Neanderthal clans of the inner lands claim exclusive dominion over advanced cultivation and the protection of the ancestral spirits. Everyone else is vermin. The dark-skinned tribes were driven into the outer deserts generations ago—left to wander, to starve, to die under the claws of colossal draconic beasts while the ruling clans openly sneer at the crude body-tempering methods they are permitted to practice. Rising higher is not merely illegal. It is unthinkable. Then the sky tore open. On the same night a boy named Ayang drew his first breath in a dwindling desert clan, a mountain-sized fragment of an Immortal-world garden crashed into a nearby lake. The impact did not merely scar the earth. It planted a miracle. Fertile soil that turns ordinary plants into elixirs overnight. Divine fruits that temper flesh beyond the limits the ruling clans believe possible. And, deeper still, an immortal-tier body cultivation technique sealed behind progressive criteria that no one of his blood was ever meant to meet. While water-race dinosaurs thrash in the surrounding shallows and the desert winds continue to erase his people one generation at a time, Ayang grows up watching his clan wither under discrimination and enforced scarcity. He does not simply hunger for personal power. He intends to do the unforgivable: shatter the racial barriers that have kept his kind crawling, forge a bloodline lineage strong enough to stand among the star-level ancestral clans of the inner continent, and drag his people out of nomadism by force. The ruling clans believe the outer deserts produce only dust and corpses. They have never met a child who was born the same night the Immortal realm itself fell into his backyard. And they have no idea that the technique locked inside that fallen garden was never meant to stay locked forever.
