Latest Fantasy Novel

Transmigrated into a dilapidated mountain temple god statue at the start? Apologies, I've also bound to a deification system.

Yu Luo gave out a roasted chicken, and the mother and daughter who had been bullied for a long time gained immense strength and, in turn, beat the village ruffians.

The black soil she gave out could make crops grow rapidly. Cotton, sweet potatoes, and potatoes helped the villagers survive the winter famine.

She gave out a stone, granting the pitiful child whose entire family perished the ability to foresee the future. The mirror she gave out could reveal the good and evil in people's hearts, and the gourd she gave out could contain floods...

Just as the famine year met with war, various disasters occurred frequently. More and more villagers came to live in the mountains, believing in their mountain deity.

With more and more faith, Yu Luo also became stronger.

She used faith points to exchange for various miraculous abilities, high-yield crop seeds, and methods for creating machinery, transforming the mountain into an unprecedented paradise. More and more disaster victims came seeking refuge.

... Later, the rebel army coveted the mountain's abundant resources and prepared to seize them by force. Yu Luo directly manifested her human form in front of everyone.

She only waved her hand towards a nearby mountain peak. Instantly, the ground shook violently, thunder roared, flames billowed, and countless large stones turned to dust.

The rebel army was so terrified that they wet themselves and fled in madness.

There was only one thing that surprised Yu Luo: there was actually a little princess in her mountain who had been living in disguise as a man.

Coincidentally, the corrupt old emperor passed away, and foreign enemies invaded from all four sides, making the Daliang Dynasty precarious.

Considering how cute the little princess was, she directly sent her back to be the emperor.

However, why did you change Daliang to Dayu? This mountain was also sealed as the Tianshang Divine Mountain, and she became the only goddess worshipped by the world.

I was originally just an ordinary college entrance examination student.

But on this day, with the examination approaching…

The world suddenly underwent earth-shattering changes.

The students and teachers around suddenly started discussing cultivation matters.

Martial artists? Vitality? And the upcoming martial arts exam?

Then where is my golden finger?!

“Carefree World System is about to manifest!”

“The scene of Immortal Emperor Su fighting twelve immortals alone is something every Huaxian cannot forget!”

Empress: “If Immortal Emperor Su can protect our domain, we are willing to return to Huaxia!”

Forbidden Zone Goddess: “What forbidden zone do we even count as? The true forbidden zone is at the feet of Immortal Emperor Su!”

Su Feng: “…No, how did you discover my Immortal Emperor identity?”

….

More than a decade later.

All races attack, and all immortals descend upon Huaxia simultaneously.

But a golden榜单 (ranking list) appears before them all.

Eight golden characters stand prominently on the list.

“Huaxia Sacred Decree, All Immortals Kneel and Listen!”

Xu Gui's biggest regret in this life was being too lazy to retract into her turtle shell during her tribulation. The next time she opened her eyes, she had transformed from a turtle into an 18th-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry, facing a death-defying task list for the reality show "Three Hundred and Sixty Occupations".

The show lasts for one month, and the invited celebrities need to find jobs and work hard to earn money. After one month, the person who earns the most money will be the final winner.

And before Xu Gui's eyes, a mountain of dirty dishes was grinning at her from the soapy water.

Xu Gui took out the fortune-telling banner she had hastily made overnight, with large ink characters dancing wildly: "Fortune Telling!"

Under the overpass, three fortune-tellers watched the young girl and sneered: "Are celebrity hype methods really this ridiculous now?"

*

Facing a balding middle-aged man with three good sons who asked about his children's fate.

"Your destiny palace has no children, and the Red Phoenix star above your head is accompanied by a green light..." the young girl tactfully advised: "Why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up?" That night, news of a certain chairman's marital crisis immediately hit the trending searches.

Facing a young woman who was ostensibly telling fortunes but was actually flaunting her husband's generosity towards her, Xu Gui tentatively asked: "...Is it possible that the passbook in your hand is fake?" The entire internet watched as the passbook turned out to be handwritten, with a betrothal gift of three million actually being only three hundred.

Initially, netizens scoffed at Xu Gui's money-making live streams. But later... Netizens: [So fragrant!] The bullet comments in the live stream room changed from [Get out of the entertainment industry, scammer!] to [Master, can you tell me if I'm a forgotten rich young master?]

Xu Gui's live stream room, which initially had no viewers, eventually became the hottest one.

Gradually, at some point, countless people held money and wanted Xu Gui to read their fortunes. Xu Gui slumped in her rattan chair, dangling her feet: "Today's three fortune-telling slots are full, please come back tomorrow."

The production team was heartbroken: "The other guests are carrying plates and handing out flyers, how can you..." The director's group collectively fell silent as the camera swept across the leaderboard, which showed Xu Gui's unparalleled viewer donations.

Next book: [Rebirth: I'm Going Crazy in the Seventies]

Lin Qiurui was reborn. She was reborn to the third year after marrying Li Guodong.

In her previous life, after marrying Li Guodong, she dutifully served his parents, worked like a slave for the Li family, and was diligent and cautious without any slack. Even so, no one in the Li family remembered her kindness; they were all ungrateful wretches.

The good food and drinks at home were all locked in a cabinet by Li Guodong's mother, who didn't allow her to touch any of it. She didn't even get a penny of the money Li Guodong sent back.

It was also in this year that Li Guodong returned from the army, but he brought back a young and beautiful woman and a young and cute child.

The woman was named Su Ying, the wife of Li Guodong's comrade-in-arms. Her husband died on a mission, so Li Guodong took it upon himself to take care of the mother and child.

Li Guodong told Lin Qiurui that Su Ying's husband died saving him, so he had an obligation to take care of the mother and daughter.

In her previous life, Lin Qiurui believed Li Guodong's words and took care of Su Ying and her child without complaint. However, she later found out that Li Guodong had already been involved with Su Ying, and even that child was Li Guodong's. By then, Lin Qiurui's own son had been so flattered by the mother and daughter that he no longer recognized Lin Qiurui as his own mother.

Upon learning this truth, Lin Qiurui was so enraged that she coughed up blood and died of grief not long after.

Now, Lin Qiurui has been reborn in 1971. This year, Li Guodong has not yet brought the mother and son back, and she is still young and beautiful, not yet worn down by the Li family.

Having a second chance, Lin Qiurui understood that instead of suffering herself, it was better to go mad and crush others. The Li family wouldn't let her eat at the table? Then she would chop the table with an axe. Since she couldn't eat at the table, no one else would eat either.

As for Li Guodong and Su Ying, Lin Qiurui sneered: Since these two are so in love, she would fulfill their wishes. Oh my, why are you two lying on the same kang? And why did the whole village see it?

Lin Qiurui: Then we can only divorce.

Pre-orders: "After Becoming the Sect Master of the Fourth Heavenly Disaster"

The path to ascension is broken, and the orthodox lineage is declining.

At first, Guan Yue just wanted to find a sucker disciple to pass on the lineage and leave a glimmer of hope for the sect.

Who knew that one day she would take in so many sucker disciples – five thousand of them.

These disciples called themselves players, viewed heaven and earth as a game, called cultivation leveling up, called secret realms dungeons, and called trials hidden quests... and often crowded around her, chattering endlessly about the main quest.

Of course, as a mature sect master, Guan Yue tolerated all their bizarre actions. After all, without these disciples who couldn't die, who would inherit Guan Yue Sect, which was on the verge of collapse?

Who would have thought that halfway through passing on the lineage, these silly disciples' actions:

The declining sect revived—but why do some disciples keep trying to break into the forbidden area to dig up the "ancestral grave"? (Players: Is the respawn point in this game the grave? I'm really not a necromancer, no, a ghost cultivator?)

The incomplete heart pháp was perfected—but Guan Yue Sect's heart pháp isn't meant for you to perform "I want to marry seven"! (Players: Hehe, this is good, I can perform it alone for the Burning Winter.)

The injured cultivation has returned to its peak—why is the entire cultivation world shouting the slogan "Sect Master, fly without worries, disciples will always follow"? (Players: Sect Master is first, Sect Master is the best, our Sect Master is number one in the world! We want to send the Sect Master to debut in another world!)

Facing the reputation in the cultivation world that "Guan Yue Sect disciples are powerful but act recklessly, disregard ethics and morals, and have holes in their brains.".

Guan Yue let out a long sigh and chopped off the head of the Demon Lord who was orchestrating things from the shadows.

What's wrong with acting recklessly? My Guan Yue's disciples naturally have the confidence to do so.

Besides, haven't your disciples brought your sect the honor of "Number One Sect in the World" and helped you complete your lineage and achieve half-step ascension?

It's just that...

Who sent the Buddhist prodigy and the Sword Master at the door, and whose scoundrel disciple wrote the romantic tale of "Sword Master x Sect Master x Buddhist Prodigy" hanging on them?

Step forward, I allow you to run for half an incense stick!

2. Red-clothed, protective elder sister sect master x Humanoid self-propelled killing weapon Sword Master, the Buddhist prodigy is just an innocent victim (Disciples: Among three people walking, one must be my teacher's wife!).

3. Player mental state: Riding a sword to deliver takeout / Giving spirit beasts a live broadcast meal / Playing a werewolf kill game with inner demons (Sect Master's blood pressure continues to +999).

Orlando Calendar year 287, a new hero emerges.

He arrives at a remote small town and meets his first companion there.

In the tavern where people sing all night, a mysterious bard strums his lute.

A new history begins here.

—Humorous Synopsis—

Vellis, male, surname unknown, identity unknown, race unknown, possibly human.

On this continent, there is a mysterious group of people.

They are destitute, glib-tongued, and spread across every corner of the continent, swaying like wild grass.

They can reach the royal palace and die of starvation in the wilderness. They have no strength to tie a chicken, and their income depends entirely on the charity of the powerful, for whom they then speak a few pleasant words, spreading them to every corner of the continent.

—They are the bards.

“Alas, so we are all literary people. Can’t you just put down your sword?” Vellis sighed, facing the vigilant hero.

Hero: “But I just saw you kill that magical beast with one punch.”

Vellis gasped and vehemently denied: “You must have been under an illusion. That magical beast was clearly killed by your sword.”

The hero looked at the fallen magical beast with a fist-sized hole in its chest… Could a sword do that?

Thinking of the sensational murder cases that had been making waves recently, the hero decided to follow this person.

Vellis, who was forcibly turned into a duo from a solo player: “?”

Fine.

What is the duty of a bard?

At noon, Vellis slowly woke up, went to the tavern for half an hour, then strolled from the market to the mercenary association, solving lunch along the way.

In the evening, he went to the wilderness, supposedly for inspiration, to feel the gifts of nature.

Returning to the tavern at night, he officially began his assigned work.

He overheard some gossip about the king and prime minister, the Pope’s bizarre recipes, the Holy Son of the Church who liked to sleep while bathing, and the previous hero who secretly loved the Demon King but was dumped, then in a fit of love-turned-hate vowed to die with the Demon King… What?

Will this guy really not be reported and arrested for execution??

A month later, the hero, in a daze, bid farewell to Vellis, determined never to associate with those mentally ill bards again.

Vellis smiled knowingly.

—

The hero’s goal is to kill the Demon King and protect the peace of the continent.

He assembled a powerful team, went through countless hardships, fought monsters, and leveled up, finally reaching the Demon King’s lair.

There were many monsters, the Demon King’s seven great protectors were feasting and reveling all night, and in the noisy square, a high platform drew attention.

A figure stood on it, playing a dilapidated accordion from an unknown era, and began to spread rumors as soon as he opened his mouth.

Hero: “……”

How did this guy end up wandering here?!

—

The hero, as the chosen Son of Destiny, finally defeated the Demon King and sealed him in the deep abyss before returning to his country.

The king was overjoyed and announced that he would bestow upon him the title of the country’s First Knight, presided over by the Pope, and personally crowned by the Holy Son.

The hero was very excited. That was the Pope! He grew up listening to stories about the Pope and admired him greatly, but he heard that the Pope had not appeared in public for many years.

He looked forward to the coronation ceremony.

On that day, while waiting in the side hall, he heard commotion from the room inside and peeked out of curiosity.

He saw a familiar wandering bard and the Holy Son, who looked down on all beings from on high, in a compromising situation.

The hero was shocked: “Holy Son, don’t be afraid, I’ve come to save you!”

The Holy Son, pressing the wandering bard onto the table, turned to the uninvited guest who had barged in, his eyes as menacing as if he wanted to kill.

Vellis beckoned to the hero: “I’m fine… Wait, why are you saving him?”

“Clearly, I need saving more!”

The Holy Son pinned Vellis down tightly, his voice so cold it could freeze ice: “Father, who is this old friend of yours?”

Hero: “?”

Someone that the Holy Son could call father—

Wasn’t it that mysterious and supreme Pope?

[See Chapter Author’s Notes for trigger warnings]

1. My interpretation of Western fantasy, many personal settings, mid-to-long plot-driven story.

2. CP is Holy Son, no blood relation; there might be unrequited love from other characters, no side CPs, pure rumor-mongering (nods).

3. Vellis is an ageless being, currently moonlighting as a bard, his main job is Pope, Vellis’s combat power is top-tier, unshakable (highlighted) – a sweeping monk bard.

4. The supreme Pope x the supportive Holy Son (bushi).

“From their quills flow chapters that have never faded through millennia; in their melodious music, they tell legends that have endured through time.”

—Recommending pre-order for my cultivation novel “Master of Four Books”

—

After transmigrating for seven hundred years, Qiao Shu managed to patch things up and eventually became one of the renowned Sword Venerables in the cultivation world.

On his 771st birthday, his golden finger finally arrived.

Qiao Shu was touched. Was his next script to cultivate, ascend, conquer the universe—

Upon closer inspection, Qiao Shu frowned: What is this?

This is a novel mashup world.

Qiao Shu has now been cast in various Master roles. His disciples include not only the Overbearing Dragon and Phoenix, but also the scumbag male lead from the Sea of Hate and Love, and the pathetic submissive from the abusive romance.

And he, Qiao Shu, the head of the renowned Seven Sword Venerables, will be responsible for plots like ‘expelling the disciple from the sect,’ ‘breaking up lovers,’ ‘denying the lineage,’ and ‘substitute torment.’

The seven-hundred-year-old man slowly typed a question mark: The first three he could tolerate, but what is the last one?!

The book states that his youngest disciple, who appears ordinary, is actually the top succubus in the cultivation world. As his master, he has long loved his youngest disciple deeply but dared not express it due to worldly concerns.

However, his alter ego doesn’t care so much and has been secretly meeting with the youngest disciple daily.

Upon learning of his alter ego’s actions, Sword Venerable Qiao is in agony, yet he is also deeply attracted to the succubus disciple. While the disciple appears to be passionately in love with the alter ego, he is actually using the alter ego as a substitute for Sword Venerable Qiao.

After a period of deep, torturous love, Sword Venerable Qiao’s two personalities and the youngest disciple live happily ever after.

Qiao Shu: “……”

He understood when the words were put together, but there was one problem…

The youngest disciple is his alter ego!

So, in the end, it’s ultimately Narcissus literature, right?

—

From the day of his birth, Yan He existed only for Qiao Shu.

They were inseparable, like blood and flesh.

After accompanying each other for hundreds of years, he thought they would always be like this.

But then, one day after Qiao Shu emerged from seclusion, he embraced him and asked, “Yan He, do you like me?”

Yan He’s fingers trembled, but his voice remained as gentle as ever: “Master, no one dislikes themselves.”

Later, Qiao Shu lay on the bed covered in marks. A friend’s voice transmission reached him, carrying a gloating tone: “Qiao Shu, don’t you know there’s a ghost in your house?”

Qiao Shu: “……”

1. Cultivation mashup, Qiao Qiao’s combat power is max, the king of pretense.

2. Narcissus style, Qiao Shu (uke) x Yan He (seme).

3. Humorous cultivation story, has side CPs, politely refuses extreme kks.

Novel Synopsis: Qing Zhensu, a peerless jade-faced prodigy, was framed and fell from his celestial position. On the brink of death, he escaped into a historical era within a chronicle.

In this world devoid of spiritual energy, the former Righteous Immortal had to turn to unorthodox cultivation methods. Thus, the most frequently assassinated dog emperor in history gained a beautiful eunuch attendant for his meals.

Red-crowned goose, swan dumplings filled with heartbreak grass, poisonous mushrooms with stewed chicken, and wine tainted with poison...

The poisons intended to assassinate the dog emperor seemed endless, yet the monarch, radiating the might of a true dragon, remained on his throne day after day, showing no signs of illness.

Everyone believed the tyrannical ruler was unkillable!

In reality, Zhensu consumed all the potent poisons administered thrice daily, using them to cultivate and rapidly increase his power.

The emperor, who had been observing in secret, was moved by this person's apparent loyalty. Not long after, Zhensu was promoted to a personal attendant eunuch, exclusively serving the emperor's daily life, meals, baths, and so on...

Later, as Zhensu continued his service, he found himself summoned to the dragon's bed!

Upon receiving the summons for his imperial night, even the seasoned immortal adult was speechless.

It just so happened that he needed a

After receiving an admission letter from the Demon Realm, Xia Ying carefully studied the blood-stained illustrated guide to dangerous abyssal creatures. After much deliberation, she decided to apply for withdrawal.

The moment this thought surfaced, the Lord of Devils broke in. He retracted his six dark wings and politely said to her, "Miss Xia Ying, welcome to Cocytus Academy. I hope you are ready for your journey."

Xia Ying secretly glanced at the guide. The entry for the Lord of Devils was on the most prominent first page, with a danger rating of an endless string of S.

Thus, Xia Ying nodded, enduring the humiliation.

Before school started, the Lord of Devils told Xia Ying, "Because your flesh and soul have a strong attraction for abyssal species, you must hide your human identity."

Xia Ying: "Then maybe I should just ret..."

The Lord of Devils added, "But don't worry, I've made all the necessary preparations for you."

After enrolling, Xia Ying found herself surrounded by dangerous abyssal creatures like demon wolves, dragons, and sirens. She looked speechlessly at her student handbook.
