The East River Alliance is the world’s biggest clan. Its chief, Mei Changsu, arrived at the royal capital Jinling under the alias of Su Zhe. He brought with him storms of disturbances and fogs of mysteries.

A noble young master with dual identities, a Crown Prince and Prince Yu battling for the crown, the empire’s greatest warrior with the Royal Guards in his grasp, a beautiful princess who commands over the border’s cavalry…

Amongst these distinguished and powerful people, how did the inconspicuous Su Zhe become the heart of everything?

Could the hand behind the scenes of the whirlwind be the remnants of a previous storm?

Is he the young general who pursues enemies in snowy nights, or the shadowy tactician with a sickly body who won’t see old age?

He returns to the old place and reunites with old friends. He plots and schemes. What is he trying to achieve?

This is a story of dark conspiracies and brotherly bonds. Before this story reaches its end, perhaps you can change its course…

The Central Plains dynasty was based on Confucianism and respected Taoism. The monsters and wild tigers of the Northern Wilderness look at the Central Plains. Buddhas and witches are rampant in the Western Regions. There is also Xi Chu who is ready to make a move. The forces in southern Xinjiang are in chaos, and the devil's sect rules the roost. The sea tribes in the East China Sea are fighting for the throne, and the sharks are king.

Yuan Shenxian of the Taoist sect has gone into hiding, Li Taibai, the Wine and Sword Immortal, has drunk wine in his heart, his sword roars across Jiuzhou, and National Master Ji Xiyao cuts off the Tianshan Mountains with one sword.

The Buddha sat firmly on the spiritual mountain and recited Buddhist scriptures, while the demon saint girl looked at the moon in the cave and became enlightened.

Outside Emperor Wu's city, the sword gods held off the Northern Barbarians' 600,000-strong army for a period with one sword and one sword.

…

Li Nuo, whose given name is Zian, was the number one scholar in high school but was demoted as a jailer and nicknamed the Demon Slayer. A purgatory tower suppresses demons, and a golden book collects treasures. He accidentally poked a hole in the Jianghu and the court.

And all of this started from the day he had a blind date with Ye Qingyu, the leader of the Demon Cult.

[Fictional empire + war of a hundred races + superpowers + battles in various small worlds + hunter group + slow burn in the beginning + ensemble piece + some exciting moments and some angst.]

God gave life to all things and created the world.

As He was dying, humanity betrayed the god, taking with them greed and wisdom, and established an empire.

The successor, inheriting divine power, made a vow to destroy the world and established the Papacy.

From then on, the Empire and the Papacy were locked in a war that lasted for millennia.

The empire is like a train, with the royal family as the conductor, the four major financial groups controlling the direction, local conglomerates as passengers, and the citizens as fuel.

They hummed a song called "Eternal Empire," riding the tide of the times, their voices echoing day and night on the railway tracks called war.

Mortal flow, body training flow, no female protagonist, high IQ, slow-heating type.

The story tells about a young boy named Zhang Tie who accidentally enters the world of cultivating immortals. Due to his insufficient spiritual roots, he relies on body training to overcome all obstacles and embark on the road of cultivating immortals.

In the midst of the blue and purple neon lights, under the gray, metallic sky, it is the frontier of all data, the aftermath of a scientific revolution, also the border of fiction and reality.

Steel versus body; the past and the future.

Here, the Outer World and the Inner World exist alongside each other. It seems like the wall of time is right in front of your eyes.

Darkness gradually swallows the world.

But listen, my friend, we cannot use kindness to survive the darkness. We need fire.

This is a story of an ordinary boy gaining unusual powers from his nightmares… It all started when Lin Sheng experienced something strange on what he thought was just another normal day. He begins to have recurring dreams that lead him on an incredible journey of discovery as he encounters spine-chilling monsters and elusive secrets.

The first instance, "Health-Preserving Hot Spring Hotel," is complete and available for reading. The second instance, "Divine Descent," is being updated daily at 9 PM. It will be available for purchase on June 2nd. "The A-rank instance, 'Class Assignment,' has begun. You will fall into a nightmare in ten seconds." A gloomy school building, a blood-red dusk, thick fog, and evil spirits lurking in every corner. A strikingly handsome young man leans against the wall, coughing. Among the well-prepared players, only Xie Qing stands out, even lacking a dagger. Judging from his pale and sickly appearance, he might not survive until nightfall. The innocent players don't know why the C-rank instance, which originally had a 50% success rate, has suddenly become a guaranteed success.

The village chief said, "When darkness falls, lock your doors and windows tight, light your oil lamps, and don't believe a word anyone outside says. This world is full of evil spirits and the bizarre. The vibrant flowers blooming in barren lands carry potent venom. Fear and greed nourish sweet fruits. This is a world where 'people eat people.'"

Luo Bin replied, "What a coincidence, in the world I come from, people eat people too."

With a half-finished game, Luen traveled through time.

Carrying a golden finger that can turn all extraordinary powers into food, he walks in this world full of evil spirits and weirdness. When the ancient nightmare is about to come and endless darkness covers the earth again, where should he go?

"There should always be some hope in this world, maybe it's those gods, maybe it's... me!"

Chen Ye's life has hit rock bottom: unemployment, heartbreak, and a dwindling bank account. Just as he's at his wit's end, he unexpectedly inherits a dilapidated, old cinema—the Starry Cinema. Thinking his fortunes have turned, he discovers the place is filled with gloom and the only "legacy" is a strange roll of film labeled "Do Not Show." A rash attempt at a test run results in him being forcibly bound to a device called the Horror Director System. The system tells him: Want to survive? Want to make money? Then make the scariest short film and terrify your audience! Collecting their fears is your newest KPI!

Thus began Chen Ye's journey as a director of magical remakes. Would he use the system's high-tech drone to film Sadako crawling across the TV? Would he use the audience's frightened spirits to upgrade the cinema into a "4D Netherworld Experience Hall"? Suddenly, the short film's ghostly figure in the mirror, footsteps in the hallway, shadows under the seats... all became real-life extras! The audience, terrified, peed their pants while enthusiastically praising the cinema: "This cinema's special effects are way better than Hollywood's! It's just... a little bit frustrating!"

As the cinema's popularity soars, Chen Ye gradually discovers that the horror films here are more than just "special effects." Those awakened "things," the eyes that watch him from the darkness, and the ultimate purpose hidden behind the system's tasks... The century-old secrets of the Starry Cinema are slowly revealed with every shot he captures.
