Most people are born ordinary, but there are always a few who, even if born into mediocrity, aspire to greatness.
From a nameless exploited laborer to a godfather in the shadows;
From the bottom rung of society, bound by rules, to a secret emperor who crafts those very rules.
When the sun shines, this nation belongs to the Federation. But when night falls, it belongs to me!
“Sometimes, shadows can be just as vast as light—sometimes, they can even eclipse it.”
“We never extort or blackmail anyone. Every penny we earn can withstand the scrutiny of our conscience.”
If someone knocks on your door at night, they are either delivering my regards or bringing ruin for your arrogance.
As for what you will receive, that depends on the choice you make, my friend!

Some people say that I am a loving father and a filial son... I helped my father reach the other side of life...

Who am I? I am the eternal night! I am the eternal life!

Whatever the heart desires, whatever the will pursues, becomes the Ultimate Immortal Path.
The Heavenly Dao?
The Heavenly Dao is dead. Let the Demon Dao rise in its place.
This is a brutal world of cultivation where only strength matters. The strong are revered. The weak are crushed like ants.
My name is Zhao Wuji.
And in my pursuit of immortality, nothing is forbidden. No law, no virtue, no limit shall bind me.
An Immortal does not differentiate between good and evil, nor do they care about the distinction between black and white. They do not ask what is right or wrong, and consider all living things as dogs. In spite of everything, Immortals pursue the Dao with bitter resolve.
Any being who disturbs my Dao, good or evil, will be forced to meet their karma, reduced to nothing more than ashes.

Fang Yi traveled through time, treading the path of the devil, only to
reach the stage of forming an elixir. Reincarnated after death, he returned to the path of medicine, curing illnesses and saving lives, promoting health and longevity, and earning a reputation
far and wide. The path to
immortality was treacherous, with demonic cultivators rampant. Fang Yi made friends, cultivated peacefully, refined puppets, and sacrificed corpses, gathering "talents" and accumulating foundations.
...
Over a hundred years later, the demonic path invaded, and evil cultivators
blocked the way. "Hehehe, Fang Yi, medical practitioners are not good at fighting.
Submit to me immediately, and you will survive." A verdant treasure banner, brimming with medicinal fragrance, shed wisps of life, shielding Fang Yi.
"Hahaha, this place is deserted, and a mere medical instrument still yields!"
"Desolate?" Fang Yi's eyes shone darkly.
The treasure banner, transformed from life to death, ghostly figures filled the sky, and the corpse puppets howled like a demonic kingdom.
Yinsha Master: "A magical weapon emanates ghostly energy, a medical banner of ten thousand souls?"
The Bone Demon: "The Yin Vein refines corpses, so they're not good at fighting?"
Nine Corpse Wanderer: "Sacrificing human puppets, is that good for others?" Fang Yi,
a gentleman like jade, smiles without a word, the aroma of medicinal herbs lingering in his ears.
...
Time cuts through the prodigies, leaving the path to immortality shrouded in enchantment.
Fang Yi has become an immortal in the eyes of the righteous ancestors, the demonic giants, and the demon spirits.
Eras pass, time rolls, countless prodigies rise and fall.
Only Fang Yi remains unshakable, ascending step by step to immortality.

When you accumulate Tao to become an immortal, you will be invincible in this world.
