In the Age of Dharma Decline, all magical arts have vanished, and cultivating the Dao is harder than ascending to heaven.

Zhao Shan, a great demonic master in his past life, is reborn in 1990s Hong Kong. He discovers it is still an era where cultivation is impossible. The righteous path is closed, and even fringe practices lead nowhere. Therefore, he can only return to his old ways: the path of demonic heresy.

But gradually, he realizes that this world isn't quite what it seems.

On an island in Hong Kong, there lives an exorcist policeman known as Uncle Feng, and a bustling city street is home to a notoriously haunted tower! The city is rife with tales of the Ten Great Evils of Southeast Asia, the Ten Ways to See a Ghost, ghouls raised to devour humans, and vengeful spirits claiming lives.

On the nearby island of Taiwan, a village called Chen's Village is said to worship a malevolent deity known as the Great Black Buddha Mother, while a wicked "Ghost Master" runs rampant. Not far away in Thailand, black magic, sorcerers, the forest god Bayan, and the wandering spirit of a woman haunting a cinema all exist...

To Zhao Shan, this world is absolutely marvelous! Not only is it full of familiar heroines from the movies he knows, but it's also teeming with perfect materials for his cultivation. His path to immortality is all but guaranteed!

But before all that, he must first commit murder, perform a blood sacrifice, and refine his first Jiangshi.

In the myriad realms, there are these people. They don’t want to become stepping stones for the protagonist.

Some of them have their own ideals, haven’t harmed others, and just want to live well. But in the end, they are all turned into stepping stones by the protagonist.

Let’s see how our ordinary person grows step by step, changing the Fate of others and also changing their own.

[Slaying God + No Female Lead + Hunting Mystery + Sacrifice + Bronze Ancient Coffin]

Song Zhong traveled to the world of God Slaying and awakened a sacrificial system.

There are ten ancient bronze coffins placed in the system space.

As long as you hunt down mysterious or extraordinary people, you can obtain sacrifice points.

The sacrifice value can activate the ancient coffin and extract the abilities of the coffin's owner.

"This system seems a bit perverted! But I like it!"

In order to hunt Mysterious, Song Zhong decided to go to Cangnan City and started his hunting journey.

[Villain counterattack + decisive killing + invincible in the same level + pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger + eternal imperial teacher]

Zhong Shenxiu traveled through time and space into a fantasy novel for women, and became a scum instructor in the academy who had no cultivation, extremely bad character, and relied on connections to get promoted. Without cultivation, couldn't he just steal the opportunity from the heroine?

At the beginning, he has to take the villain, the evil empress, as his apprentice? This apprentice has average talent, a vicious mind, and does not follow the right path. He needs to be properly disciplined!

Don’t panic, my dear disciple. Your master is really not a villain. You are just a stepping stone to the girl of destiny. Follow your master and he will teach you how to practice, help you, and change your destiny!

You just need to understand one thing, that as my disciple, Zhong Shenxiu, your achievements will not be worse than anyone else's.

Yan Chenyu was dumbfounded: I was reborn? What? This lustful scum wants to take me as his apprentice? He also wants to teach me how to practice. Does he know how to practice? He is a villain cannon fodder who will not survive more than three chapters!

Heroine Yan Luoxue: Who stole my chance? And let his disciples beat me up?

Passerby: The useless instructor and the useless female disciple are really a perfect match... No, who is killing everyone and who is invincible forever?

[God of War + Single Female Lead + Comedy]

A certain Confucian and Taoist master: "In terms of immeasurable merits and virtues, I am not as good as Chen Tianxing!"

A certain Sakyamuni Buddha said: "Donor Chen has a deep affinity with Buddha. I am ashamed to be inferior to him!"

The monks of the Demon Realm: "We had no choice before, now we just want to be good people under the leadership of the leader..."

A newbie on the righteous side trembled in fear: "Newbies, if you don't understand, just ask, are the big guys talking about the murderous and evil old demon Chen?"

Lin Feng was just the most humble errand disciple in the medicine garden. When he found the scroll of Blood Refining Magic at the bottom of the cliff, he knew that he had no way out. This book is about a growing protagonist, please don't criticize if you don't like it.

In an age where everyone practices cultivation, I—thanks to a twisted system—am tasked with becoming a demon lord?

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you’ve bound the Chaos-Bringing System. As long as you complete demon-lord-style missions, you can ascend as the Supreme Demon!]

“System, are you kidding? This is the civilized age of cultivation, and you want me to be a villain? Are you trying to get me killed?”

[Mission 1: As a true demon, killing and stealing treasures should be as natural as eating and drinking. Seize others’ fortunes and make them your own.]

“That’s illegal! Robbery means three to ten years in prison!”

[Mission 2: A demon lord should lead countless followers, each willingly offering tribute to aid your path. Recruit 1000 followers.]

“That's a cult! The last one got disbanded and sentenced!”

[Mission 3: You’re now qualified. Refine your first demonic artifact—the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.]

“Trading souls is capital punishment! This system is out for my life!”

…

“What? Stealing someone’s food delivery is seizing fortune too?”

“What? Livestream selling counts as recruiting followers?”

“What? AI-generated digital life can be used in artifact refinement?”

“You’re not a system—you’re my dad!”

…

Years later, after completing mission after mission through food delivery jobs, streaming, and online trolling, Su Yuan becomes the fearsome Supreme Demon—yet the world bestows upon him an unexpected title:

The Working Immortal.

The school beauty I loved for three years was raped to death!

Chen Xuewen, who had done nothing wrong, was identified and put in jail!

The honest parents both died tragically on their way to seek justice!

After living for 19 years, following the rules and abiding by the law, Chen Xuewen finally saw the true face of the world.

"Kill people and set fires, and you'll get a gold belt. Repair bridges and roads, and you'll get no corpses!"

"Others can kill and burn people, so why can't I, Chen Xuewen?"

"Others can treat human life as nothing, so why can't I, Chen Xuewen?"

"Others can be high and mighty, so why can't I, Chen Xuewen?"

"Since I have chosen to take this path, I will be worse than the bad guys and more evil than the evil guys!"

"I don't want to be second to none, I just want to be above ten thousand people!"

"As long as I live, I don't mind letting others die!"

Valerie was devastated when she traveled to Gotham as a cyberpunk female V.

Fortunately, all her abilities were exactly the same as in the game.

The eight-second stop of Sianvistan, the military technology that could kill anyone with a glare, the Thunder Mantis Blade that could climb walls, the double jump that ignored the laws of physics.

And the ability to summon vehicles from another dimension and make hand-rolled guns.

I, V Zhentian, am invincible in the world.

"V, come back soon! Batman said he won't beat you anymore!"

"Sign a contract!"

PS: In the Arkham world view, it is normal for Batman to be ridiculously strong.

If there is any discrepancy with the original work, the setting of this book shall prevail.

Wei Xing, having graduated with a Master’s degree, accidentally transmigrates to another world. Unknowingly, he has already been marked as a cultivation cauldron, surrounded by danger. On one hand, he uses a modern scientific research mindset to explore cultivation; on the other hand, he uses spiritual power combined with item refining methods,

***

The stench of blood and the phantom echo of a butcher’s knife were Wei Xing’s last clear memories of Earth. Now, only agony remained. Not the dull ache of a hangover, but a searing, full-body violation. He gasped, eyes stinging against the harsh glare of an unfamiliar sun, the world swimming in a dizzying haze. Where were the familiar high-rises, the rumble of traffic? Only weeds reclaiming a dilapidated monastery met his gaze.

Then came the flood – memory fragments, alien yet intimate, crashing into his consciousness. Sweat-slicked bodies, endless moans, a gaunt face twisted in simultaneous pleasure and pain, ruthless killers in red robes, and a desperate flight ending in… this. Nausea roiled within him. This broken, emaciated body wasn’t his. Ribs protruded like ridges on a starved animal, bruises painted his skin alongside disturbingly intimate marks – hickeys? – mocking his non-existent love life. A tattered robe, stained crimson, barely concealed his nakedness.

He was trapped. Not just in a strange place, but in a strange, violated body. Panic, cold and sharp, sliced through the pain. The scientific truths he clung to shattered against the impossible reality. He was an anomaly, a ghost inhabiting ruined flesh in a world that felt ancient and hostile. Hunted, wounded, and utterly alone, Wei Xing’s journey began not with heroic resolve, but with a guttural cry of pain and the desperate, primal need to survive whatever nightmare he had stumbled into. The path forward was obscured by blood, conspiracy, and the chilling realization that his old life was irrevocably gone, replaced by a brutal existence where his very nature made him prey.
