Synopsis

In the world of Gaia, humanity ruled the world for hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of years, and lord over all creation. However, a single cataclysmic event changed everything, subverting what was regarded as the natural order and placing humanity at the bottom of the food chain. The animals that humanity once knew and regarded as pets and livestock became terrifying beasts with monstrous strength and a horrible grudge that threatens the extinction of humankind. Kingdoms fell, lands were lost, and many lives perished as humanity retreated to their final haven, the Human Domain, an unnatural piece of land surrounded by high mountains. With the high mountains as their walls and a great wall that took all of humanity to build as their gate, humanity successfully stopped the beast tides' advances and herald in a new era of peace. Five hundred years later, the long-standing peace of humanity finally turned turbulent once more. In the new era of chaotic changes, Leon awakened the memories of his past life and arrived at a crossroad in his life. To stop at nothing in his pursuit of power and vengeance of his past life, or to lead the struggling humans in the battle against the threat of extinction and herald them into an era of true prosperity. Follow Leon on his journey as the two worlds of past and present collide, exploring the mysteries of the universe, and discovering something much bigger than himself. =====Bonus Chapter Missions===== 500 GT - 1 Bonus chapter 1000 GT - 2 Bonus chapters 1500 GT - 3 Bonus chapters 2000 GT - 4 Bonus chapters Note: GT = Golden Tickets [Currently on break] =====Tags===== [Reincarnation] [Fantasy] [Eastern Fantasy] [Western Elements] [Weak-to-Strong] [Adventure] [Mystery] [Action] [R-18] [Harem] [Ecchi] [Smut] [Polygamy] [Cultivation] [Alchemy] [Arrays] [Formations] [Runes] [Apocalypse] [Elves] [Demons] [Beasts] [Dragons] [Phoenixes] [Gods] [Devils] [Laws] [Magic] [Vast Universe] [Multiple Worlds] [Love Interests Fall in Love First] [Overpowered MC]...

Tower of Origin: I Evolve All Rewards

When the ancient Towers descended, humanity’s fate was rewritten. Those who entered could gain power, wealth, and authority beyond imagination. But only a rare few awakened true talents capable of changing their destiny. Qin Yuheng, heir of a fallen ancient family, stood before the Awakening Stone and received the result everyone feared. Talentless. To the world, his path had ended before it even began. But hidden from every eye, another power awakened within him — a forbidden ability that could evolve anything the Tower rewarded. Weak fruits became heaven-defying treasures. Ordinary chests became ancient inheritances. Low-level rewards became stepping stones toward absolute power. Behind him stood a family burdened by forgotten glory, sealed wounds, and enemies waiting in the shadows. Before him rose the endless Tower of Origin. And Qin Yuheng would not merely climb it. He would evolve every reward, break every limit, and uncover the truth buried at the peak of the heavens.
