First novel

Long Hao, a ruthlessly pragmatic youth, awakens in the High Continent, a world where every individual is a Global Lord, granted a nascent territory and a unique power. Unlike others who receive mythical beasts or ancient artifacts, Long Hao's cheat is 'Infinite Evolution,' allowing him to endlessly enhance anything under his command. Yet, the High Continent is a brutal chessboard where nascent lords are fodder for established empires, and failure means absolute annihilation. His core wound - a past of powerlessness and betrayal - fuels his ambition to climb, not just survive. He must evolve his territory and forces faster than anyone, transforming mere peasants into legendary warriors and barren land into an impregnable fortress. But a deeper game is at play, where ancient forces manipulate new lords, and even infinite evolution might not be enough to break free.
