“Here’s what happened: I was once in a hopeless situation when I unexpectedly encountered a dragon. It insisted I was a martial arts prodigy and claimed it would guide me on the path to immortality.”

“So that’s your justification for breaking open the Demon God’s tomb and becoming a servant to demons?!”

“I, Xie Jinxuan, have never bowed to anyone. That dragon was the servant. To be precise, I was the one being served by a dragon.”

The pursuit of the Dao burns like a fire, with life as its fuel. One’s innate nature is the eternal spark that never dies out.

A single essay, Master of Nourishing Life, brought Zhou Qing into a fantastical and bizarre world of xianxia.

From then on, his only goal was to transcend the Three Realms and escape the Five Elements to become an existence free from all shackles.

Lately, rumors have been circulating that I, Chen Xingzhi, am the same person as those reincarnators who terrorize newcomers—like the Daoist Xuanjun who spreads the Seven Secret Chapters of the Mysterious Lord, the sinister martial artist claiming to be the 18th-generation heir of Cthulhu-style Xingyi Boxing, or the Whisper of the Void, known for tricking others into signing dark pacts with eldritch gods.

Allow me to clarify: these are nothing but baseless slanders. As one of the first-generation reincarnators, I can assure you—we would never harm newcomers. If you’re new here and facing any challenges, you’re more than welcome to seek our help.

We’re more than happy to offer you warm and comprehensive starter support, including (but not limited to): instruction in Lovecraftian spellcraft, full-body cybernetic modification, and pact-forming with the Five Deities of the Virtual Realm—all to ensure your steady development on this path.

And let me emphasize once again: I, Chen Xingzhi, have absolutely not been experimenting on newcomers. I’ve merely helped them… shift genres a little.

Here, a cloud god forecasts the weather with a radio, and a ghostly spirit wields an electric baton. A fire deity shoulders a flamethrower, a Daoist master fires a handgun like a bolt of palm thunder, and the Dragon King of the Yangtze stands watch over a dam.

When you possess technology and power far beyond your era, you become a deity or immortal in the eyes of mortals.

Wei Yuan had no grand ambitions, but in the torrent of the times, he was compelled to embark on a path of military conquest and territorial expansion, pressing forward across mountains and passes, never reaching old age with white hair.

Unofficial synopsis 1: Even immortals fear industrialization! This is a story of an industrial revolution set in a xianxia (fantasy cultivation) world.

The Green Snake is the primal ancestor; the White Snake, an immortal among mortals.

This is the story of a White Snake.

“To hear the Dao in the morning, and die by evening—so be it.”

For ten years, he lived as a serpent, roaming through mountain forests and wildlands. As his lifespan neared its end, he stood at the gates of death—only to awaken as a yao. From that moment on, the world had one more White Snake Immortal.

In Snake King Valley, hidden deep in ancient woods: a willow spirit reborn after death, a fox who wears human skin, a rat that swallows the sun, a court musician from a secluded palace, a delicate young page… In this world, every encounter is shaped by fate.

For eight hundred years, the throne that loomed high above the world remained unchallenged.

Until now.

Shaken by the impact of legends like Rocks, cracks have begun to form. Across the seas, ambitious powers stir—each with their eyes on the ultimate seat of power.

Who will claim it?

The Four Emperors?

The Navy?

The underground emperor, coiled like a venomous serpent?

The deep-rooted superpowers of the world?

Or the World Government itself, towering above all?

No. None of them.

The one who will take the throne—

is me, Kaldo.

As the Summit War approaches, Kaldo—sovereign and warlord—leads his mighty legions.

While the Navy and the World Government are entangled in chaos, Kaldo strikes.

With overwhelming force, he devours the entire South Blue, tilting the balance of the world and rising to confront the World Government as an equal.

A new contender has emerged.

And this time, the world will remember Kaldo.

humanity can no longer deny it—

Spiritual energy is returning.

Radiant rays of twilight light up all of Heaven and Earth;

The path to the Dao twists through countless trials in the mortal world.

Ethereal music lingers around the palace beams,

Divine winds gently brush against the robes of law.

Elixirs and panaceas are not my pursuit—

Refining the Dao, claiming supremacy, and slaying demons is!

You ask where the immortals have gone?

To the Jade Palace and Golden Halls, where they stand equal with the heavens!

— — —

Some say the Jade Palace Immortal Lord is a hypocritical fiend.

Some say he simply got lucky, acted ruthlessly, and seized power for a time.

Others call him a savior of the world—claiming even now they’ve yet to repay the grace of the Jade Palace Immortal Lord.

But whether it was the struggling young man Wang Yulou, clawing his way up step by step,

Or the Wang Yulou who would later be hailed as the Immortal Lord of the Jade Palace,

He never paid any mind to the nonsense those people spouted.

The Sea of Bitterness churns—this journey was always meant to be against the current.

If one stops because of outside doubt and resistance…

How could one ever reach the other shore?
