This is the story of a poor mortal who unexpectedly assumes the leadership of a dilapidated sect in the world of cultivation. No cheats, no aura of invincibility, but rather a vivid reality and a poignant coming-of-age story. Following the fall of the previous dynasty, the orphan of the Zhong family fled to Jiangbei with an elderly servant. By chance, they were caught up in the incident of a blood viper transforming into a dragon, and were entrusted by a Taoist priest from Qingling Mountain to deliver a dragon tripod. After traversing seven hundred miles of wind, frost, rain, and snow, he was forced to take over the throne as the sect leader just as he was about to fulfill his mission... An alternative cultivation civilization, the journey of a sect leader, striving for universal dominance and creating a new world. This is a slow-burning read, not a brainless one.

[Martial arts + immortality + transmigration + coming-of-age story]

Jiang Chen, reborn in the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," undergoes a drastic personality change after experiencing a series of tragic events, and begins a ruthless and decisive life in the martial arts world.

This is the story of an ordinary person rising to prominence...

(This book begins with Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and will feature characters from The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer... In the end, the characters live to the modern era and travel to the stars.)

PS: This is a coming-of-age story with original content and a small amount of plot; it's not a pure wish-fulfillment story, it's slow-paced, the upper limit of the Heavenly Dragon Realm has been raised, and the combat power is relatively high. If you mind this, please proceed with caution.

A scroll of immeasurable merit, wielding all laws to become an immortal among mortals. You have advanced technology and ruthless skills, I have magical powers and supernatural abilities. You practice martial arts, I cultivate immortality; you commit evil, I do good! The benevolent are invincible! A philanthropist like myself, becoming the strongest in the world is truly well-deserved! Igniting passion to create the light of human civilization, illuminating the stars and the sea, eradicating all darkness and evil—this is also my responsibility as the strongest in the world!

Li Changsheng transmigrated to the Star Martial Era and spent thirty years in mediocrity. At this time, humanity had already entered the Star Martial Era five hundred years ago, ushering in an era where technology and Star Martial Arts coexisted.

The rancher Li Changsheng, who was over sixty years old, unexpectedly discovered that he had the ability to see stars. He could see any treasure with starlight within a kilometer, even if it was buried deep underground.

With his Star Gazing Eyes, Li Changsheng led his family onto the path of Star Warriors and established the Star Warrior Clan.

When the family grew powerful, they ventured into the stars to search for life-bearing planets for the nation, waged war against other races in the cosmos, and fought to make humanity stand proudly in the universe.

(An innovative family story; I hope you enjoy it.)

[Chinese Cthulhu + Bizarre Cultivation + No Female Lead + No System + Not Brainless] (Low rating because few people have read it) (Due to its vast world-building and complex settings, the early stages require setup, resulting in a slower-paced plot. Enter at your own risk if you mind this.) When I opened my eyes, I saw a bizarre stone statue I had never seen before. An old woman with yellow teeth, claiming to be my grandmother, was stirring inside my stomach with a strange knife. She was carving my bones. "Child, with spiritual roots, you can become an immortal," she told me. "Become an immortal? Become what kind of immortal?" I cried out in fear, looking at the tentacled monster. "No! I don't want to become that kind of monster!"

Li Tian awoke to find himself in a new world. Here, ancient martial arts, powerful mechs, mysterious superpowers, and mutated gene warriors… In this interstellar age of exploration, everything seemed prosperous and full of hope, but beneath this calm surface, turbulent undercurrents surged. Secret cults, star beasts, ancient gods, shadows… they had long since infiltrated every corner of the world, hiding beneath the surface, growing stronger and more powerful. …Fortunately, Li Tian possessed a class panel; with diligent practice, he would reap the rewards. From [Transmigrator] to [Lord of the Heavens] traversing the realms, from [Martial Artist] to [God of Martial Arts] who could shatter stars with his fists, from [Psychic] to [King of the Four Forces] who controlled the rules… In the zombie world, he was an unrelated figure who obtained everything. In the horror world, he was a holy being who purified everything. In the Warhammer world…

[Easy to play] [Level up] [Fast pace] [Slightly weak] [Decisive and ruthless] [Invincible] [Not mindless]

Transcend a world of high martial arts and suppress all races!

It became a demon-locking tower.

...The director?!

Lu Chen opened his eyes wide, somewhat stunned. What the heck?

"Give away a Grade One Qi and Blood Pill, and receive a ten-thousand-fold return, plus a Divine-grade Dragon Marrow Pill as a reward!"

"Gifted the mortal-rank martial skill Ice Soul Sword Technique, with a ten-thousand-fold return, and rewarded with the heaven-rank martial skill - Annihilation Fist!"

...

While others cultivate for ten years, he "licks" for a single day!

The school beauty wants a Qi and Blood Stone? Here you go!

The goddess needs cultivation techniques? Here you go!

The villain mocked him for being useless? He retaliated by overwhelming him with resources!

Lu Chen: "Flatter one person, and you'll enrich a region; flatter ten thousand, and you'll become a Martial God!"

...

Years later,

Lu Chen: I've met many women. Some called me a bastard, some called me shameless, and some called me a dog.

Without exception, they all became my women.
