Autumn of 1840.

The world is like a whale floating up, igniting a fire in the eyes of the boy.

A letter from more than ten miles away, a traveler from a foreign land, and several wonderful and fantastic stories.

Ritualists, strange objects, alien species, invisible techniques;

Cursed secret texts, pointy-eared cats and dragons, little people under the floor, castles walking in dreams;

Science and mystery, fantasy and reality.

The boy tapped his cane, staggered with the times, and his black hair flew and melted in the laughter behind him:

"Those who are against us are bad guys!"

The monsters said.

Qi Condensation. Foundation Establishment. Core Formation. In the current world, only these three realms are known to be achievable. Nascent Soul is but a legend and the realms above it lost to the the long river of time. The modern era is known as Cultivation Civilization, a balance of power and civility, excess and moderation. While cultivation remains a secret practice, it has long since exposed itself to the mundane world, quietly intertwined with each facet of society. While the world appears to be at peace, what lies underneath is a conflict between human, cultivator, and demon, brewing for ages and waiting to implode. Yet in the wake of humanity’s rapid industrialization, qi—and consequently cultivation—is dying.

Besieged on all sides by demon and human, Xu Yangyi, our protagonist, strives to reach the apex, armed only with esoteric knowledge and his cool pragmatism, and to avenge the unjust deaths of both his parents. Embroiled in conspiracy and with adversity waiting at each turn, he is undeterred in his conquest to seek the Grand Dao and break free of this world’s shackles, claiming his title as the pioneer of an era!

[Power evolution] [Egoism] [Rebirth] [Dark humor] [Early development, lone wolf] [More women, please don’t enter if you mind]

A meteorite rain came, and the whole world collapsed and destroyed. Most people turned into terrible monsters. Animals and plants were no longer resources for survivors, but became hunters.

With the meteorite rain comes star crystals, which can produce extraordinary food, weapons and equipment, evolution potions, and supernatural bloodlines...

This is the end of the world, a hell for most survivors!

But for evolvers and superpowers, this is paradise...

Zhao Yin was reborn and returned to the pre-apocalypse to seize the enemy's SSS-level superpower contract soul... In this life, he just wants to lead his partners to live a better life.

Yaoniang was the concubine of Jin Wang in the last life, but she had only been doted on for a few months before she died.

After her rebirth, she decided to live safely and protect herself. So she would do a job well as a wet nurse and never pursue luxurious life.

However, it never occurred to her that stern-faced Jin Wang who only did things without discussion in her last life would now take initiative.

Everyone in the world knew that Jin Wang had a concubine which was doted by him as early as he lived in original place. After entering the royal palace, she was even more prestigious and Jin Wang only doted her in imperial harem.

There were many rumors in the folk villages about the concubine. The only thing that was well known was that before she entered the royal palace she was a widow and it was said that she also had a son.

During the time Jin Wang became the emperor, he was diligent and managed the country well. He worked hard to improve his governance as a wise emperor. However, he was frequently crazy about the concubine, which made people criticize a lot.

And one of the most absurd things he did was to recognize the son the concubine had as his own kid.

To this, Jin Wang personally came out to refute the rumor:

“It’s my own son.”

He was originally a congenital genius, but because his martial soul was taken away, his bloodline was damaged and he became a waste. The person who took away his martial soul was sought after by the world and enjoyed supreme glory. Once the memory of the Immortal Emperor awakened, he practiced the Five Elements Immortal Law, condensed five martial souls, and opened a path to become a strong man who dominated the nine heavens. What twin martial souls? What genius that only appears once in a thousand years? What son of destiny? All of them surrendered to me. I want the gods and demons of the nine heavens to tremble because of me!

In her previous life, Su Wenyue was driven by vanity. She abandoned her husband and child, ultimately meeting a tragic end when she was falsely accused and killed by the mistress of the house.

Her three-month-old unborn child perished with her. Meanwhile, the humble man she had looked down upon seized the opportunity in the chaotic times. He steadily climbed the ranks to become a high-ranking and powerful prime minister in the great kingdom.

Su Wenyue died in remorse. But upon awakening, she found herself back at the moment when she had just married into the Han family.

{Mortals are immortals, no system,}

Parents disappeared and the village was massacred. Fortunately for the young man, the Immortal Sect accepted him into the mountain gate. Unfortunately, his useless spiritual roots were despised by others, and even the master who accepted him was laughed at. The master gave him a broken book, but told him that it was an ancient secret scroll. It's a pity that he suffered a lot of humiliation when his reputation as a waste came out. When he returned home by chance, he discovered that the stone jar he had picked up when he was a child had a special effect. This started a different life for him. (If you are tired of seeing cruel killings, selfishness, and vengeful characters, you might as well take a look at another kind of immortal cultivator. This book contains both love and hatred, and the characters are full of flesh and blood...}

A striking man of mysterious origin and peerless talent, he looks back at the world, in all its entirety, with utter disdain. And yet, in the treacherous and unpredictable ultimate formation of the Boundless Secular World, he guards a breathtaking ancient qin with broken strings, waiting silently for the destined one to arrive!

A boy encounters him, and knows for the first time that the world beneath the Heavens is a fickle place. Not even demons, devils, ghosts and monsters can match the frivolity of human nature!

A slender physique, and jade-like beauty, but the sword that strikes between heaven and earth is not unlike a streaming rainbow!

The vastness of the starry sky, the seven emotions and six desires! Greed, anger and ignorance! The teachings of Buddha will grant you boundless strength!

A sea of blood will come, at the cost of all mortal beings full of honest hope!

The ghosts wail as the gods roar, but the sea of blood has no end!

Where, pray tell, is the path I should take?

Since there is no path, no matter how bitter and bloody the sea, even if my boat is made out of bones, I will soar to the heavens above!

Under the deep sky, the stars are bright and there are countless civilizations...

This is the Lunar Base 1. Following an unprecedented super nuclear explosion, a huge super battleship officially sets sail!

It is humanity's last hope, and its name is...Noah!

A generation of Emperor Wu was killed and fell. Ten thousand years later, he was reborn in the body of a young man named Qin Feng. Awakening the supreme soul, cultivating the supreme martial arts, from then on he will compete with countless geniuses, and the world will tremble because of his return!
