[No system, no wish-fulfillment elements, no harem, no saintly figures; brain-teasing, intellectually challenging, locked-room mystery, and deduction.]
Chen Ran was a good person; he went to hell.
This is the Hell of Tongue-Pulling, where lying is forbidden, so everyone lies.
Due to differing philosophies on deception, two major alliances emerged.
The Liar Killers Alliance: Instant kill if you lie.
The Liars: Turning Lies into Truth.
A beginner's tutorial with a near 100% death rate, an insane matchmaking system, a bizarre feast, a war between two alliances, a hellish escape, where evil people who come to hell will use various means to deceive each other into lying.
Chen Ran had many speculations about hell.
Virtual world?
A world of gods?
The spiritual world?
As he eliminates one answer after another, the mystery of hell is gradually being unveiled...
[Rare illusion novels on the market + villains + nightmare invasion + original copy]
Sumu has the same dream every day.
And every time he wakes up from a dream, his mental power will increase by one percent, which is equivalent to getting stronger while sleeping.
The first year, hypnosis. He found that his mental power was strong enough to hypnotize others, so gang leaders, school beauties, beautiful presidents...all became his slaves.
The second year, five senses control. His mental power was strong enough to affect the five senses of others. With the control of the five senses, he became the first illusionist in the nightmare world.
The fifth year, fantasy materialization. He can use his mental power to create things in the void, and even create things that do not belong to the world. Some people began to believe in him and respect him as a god, but most people were hostile to him and thought he was a heretic.
The tenth year, fooling fate. In the face of nearly infinite mental power, fate is nothing more than an object to be fooled. He can manipulate the fate of all beings at will, confuse the boundaries between life and death, make the living die, and the dead resurrect. Everyone calls him a true god, and only a few heretics are still resisting.
In the fifteenth year, Sumu, the only true god in the world, felt a little bored, so... his spiritual power as vast as the universe surged out.
So far, the whole world has been immersed in illusion.
When Gu An, a servant, was young, he accidentally broke a jar of spiritual flowers. When he was panicked, he found that he had taken away twelve years of life!
A road to immortality was laid out in front of Gu An!
In order to cultivate immortality safely, Gu An chose to become a chores disciple of Taixuan Sect, planting herbs every day to take away the life of herbs for cultivation.
Through the evolution of life, his basic skills continued to evolve, and he deduced from the basic method to the supernatural power!
The eras changed, the stars moved, and the world changed.
The legend of immortals gradually appeared in the world.
Gu An, known as the immortal, spent half of his life to help his cultivation surpass the limit of the immortal way, achieve the realm of the saint, and surpass the heavenly way.
However, one day, an old man in white clothes with an immortal style came to visit Gu An.
"I am the Xuanqing Star Lord in the sky. Emperor Taihao heard that you have done many good deeds in the world and saved many sentient beings. You have great merits. I was sent to the lower world to summon you to join the immortal class and take up the position of the Divine Horse Heavenly Official."
"May I ask what the position of the Divine Horse Heavenly Official is?"
"There are divine horses in the heavens that can cross the sky and earth and escape into yin and yang. The Divine Horse Heavenly Official is responsible for taking care of and feeding these divine horses."
Hmm? Raising horses?
Aliens invaded, and the human race declined. This was the past of the parallel world Blue Star.
Until Jiang Tian, who had an invincible talent but wanted to be a chef, came from Earth, the situation changed.
Because he found that these aliens themselves were the most perfect top ingredients.
And the strongest school beauty who teamed up with him had the special ability of God's Tongue to help him improve his cooking skills.
From then on, the rations of the human race that made up for spirituality in the eyes of the myriad races in the starry sky changed.
The human race has a brand new title: Horror Upright Ape!!!
"Don't run away, Golden Winged Dapeng Clan, this spicy chicken wing really can't be done without you."
"I admit that you, the powerful Bull Demon Clan, have thick skin and flesh, but how will you respond when I use the trick of butchering a cow?"
"As a mere ingredient, you actually hit people?"
As the saying goes, foodies are not scary, but I'm afraid that this foodie is too scary.
The alien race cried out in grief and anger: "Why is the strongest human race a cook!"
This is a story about a cook eating all the races.
Strange talk, a strange thing that uses cognition as food, information as weapon, and information as currency. They are neither living nor dead, existing in the lore of men, living in the shadows of the world.
"Does this mean that I will become a monster?"
In ancient times, they were worshiped as gods and powerful by faith.
"Then I am a god!"
In ancient times, they were regarded as feared by demons and fed on fear.
"I will become the master of ghost stories!"
But under the scouring of the torrent of the times, they gradually disappeared, leaving only paragraphs of text that were regarded as nonsense.
"It is my duty to recast the glory of ghost stories."
But you're not a weirdo, well, you're not human either.
"Well, it's considered a success if you become a monster."
In the mass grave, I fed a ghost alive - it was just a tool for me to survive.
The essence and blood of the clan members, the flesh and blood of geniuses, the souls of the entire clan... all become food for refining ghosts!
The stronger the ghost, the more ferocious the backlash? Stronger restrictions, deeper calculations, make it a permanent slave!
They used every possible means, including robbing cultivators, massacring cities, going undercover, killing masters, and training devils.
My evil magic reaches all the heavens, and I use the common people as materials to refine my supreme ghost way!
Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul… In front of the world barrier, looking back:
Homeland? It's just the first stepping stone to the top!

Qin Shou, who was suffering from organ failure, closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and opened his eyes again, only to find himself in a group of refugees fleeing famine in ancient times.
Good news: Rebirth
Bad news: Your body will remain the same as your previous life, with only half a year to live.
Good news: There are warriors in this world who possess extraordinary powers.
Bad news: My weak body cannot practice martial arts
Good news: Qin Shou found that his understanding was growing every moment.
Good wind helps me soar to the sky.
With the blessing of infinite enlightenment, Qin Shou created his own way based on the Taoist canon and Buddhist scriptures of his previous life and successfully extended his life.
I lived the leisurely farming life of my dreams, picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely gazing at the southern mountains.

Since when, the small Waner Village has become a forbidden area in the eyes of martial arts masters all over the world.
Thirty years ago, the apostate Saint of the Blood Lotus Sect disappeared in Qingshui County and reappeared, slaughtering the century-old sect that had been causing trouble.
A hundred years ago, the prince of Chu fled here. Ten years later, he successfully restored his country, created a prosperous era, and became a wise ruler.
Three hundred years ago, the invincible Dugu Jiujian went into the mountains to seek his way and disappeared. But now there is an old man guarding the ordinary farmyard.
Eight hundred years ago, the Demon Lord of the cholera world entered the world to dominate the world and wipe out the hidden masters, but he disappeared in the Baiyue Mountain area. Not long after, the world's largest sect disintegrated and turned into the dust of history.
The world goes on and on, for hundreds and thousands of years, and the world changes drastically, but only one person stands outside the chess game and watches indifferently.
Someone asked, are there immortals in the world?
Countless overlords who dominated an era had a figure in green clothes in their minds, who replied decisively, "There is an immortal."
[Flesh + Bones + Doomsday Disaster + Lovecraftian Survival + Civilization Graveyard]
When the mist descended and aberrant horrors howled outside the windows, all players cowered in crumbling shelters, trembling. But Bai Yi found himself teleported right onto the face of the deity "Endless Flesh," witnessing the terrifying feast of the flesh planet being devoured by something even more monstrous—the splattered fragments of flesh and bone that rained down became his only beginner's gift.
Some used mystical seeds to upgrade their shelters, striving to cultivate a World Tree. Others fused theirs with eldritch idols, attempting to establish a Great Cult. And some utilized remnants of lost technology to fortify their shelters, hoping to resist the calamity with science.
Bai Yi, however, fused his shelter with endlessly proliferating flesh and bone.
On the day of its evolution, newly formed bone plates structured themselves into a honeycomb-like support system within the fleshy walls, their surfaces covered in a translucent membrane that revealed the pulsating network of veins beneath. The ceiling sprouted rib-like skeletal rings, while the floor was overgrown with writhing flesh, from which occasional tentacles slithered out.
"Can this... really still be called a shelter?"
Staring at the fully transformed, flesh-and-bone abomination of a refuge, Bai Yi gulped.

[Eternal Life + Low-Key Cultivation + Borrowing Life + No Female Lead + Growth-Type Protagonist]
[Reminder once again: If you enjoy brainless power fantasy and non-stop slaughter, read with caution!!!]
Gu Ming accidentally transmigrated into the cultivation world. At the start, he has endless lifespan and awakens the talent "Borrowing Life" — if he is killed, he will randomly sacrifice a close relative of his enemy to resurrect himself, and even gain one random ability from the sacrificed person.
Need a cultivation license to join a sect?
Not talented enough, so you have to pay to cultivate?
What? I don’t even qualify to pay to cultivate?
Fine! You won't let me cultivate, huh?
Then I'll just outlast everyone — while others study their way to Immortality, Gu Ming endures his way there with sheer lifespan.
Want to kill me? Go ahead. Kill me, and your whole family dies, starting with your parents. Let’s see how many times your family can afford to be sacrificed!!
...
Years later, Gu Ming’s little secret is accidentally exposed. He becomes a plague god in the eyes of all realms — wherever he goes, fear follows. People avoid him like the plague.
Especially those powerful cultivators who like flashy, explosive battles — every time they want a duel, they make sure to steer clear of Gu Ming, fearing they might accidentally kill him.
One righteous sect leader refused to believe the rumors. He found Gu Ming and arrogantly declared:
“I have no family, no ties, I stand alone. Plague God Gu Ming, come — today, I shall rid the worlds of your evil!”
In the year 1368, at the end of July, deep crimson shall descend from the heavens.
