Synopsis

Lu Wen transmigrates to the primordial world, in an era when ferocious beasts, formed from the resentful malice of the Chaos Demon Gods’ lingering spirits, ravage the world. As a newly born innate divine being, he must face a crisis of life and death.

Lu Wen has three choices. The first is to join the Divine Court founded by the Celestial Emperor, Huangtian. There, the familiar big shots of the Thirty-Three Heavens await: Qingtian, Cangtian, Huangtian, Juntian, Wutian, and others...

The second is to join the Earth Court founded by the Earth Emperor, Yuejian. There, legendary powers dwell among the thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands, along with innate spiritual roots such as the parasol tree, the fusang tree, and the five-leaf pine.

The third is to join the Underworld founded by the Nether Emperor, Jiuyou. There, the eerie eighteen layers of the netherworld are ruled by divine and mysterious emperors such as Yama, Huangquan, and Bian'an.

Lu Wen chooses to join the nearby Earth Emperor Yuejian. He has barely settled in when Yuejian is found hanging above Mount Tai. With no other choice, he turns to the Underworld. Before he can catch his breath, the Nether Emperor Jiuyou drowns in the Yellow Springs Sea. He rushes off to serve the Divine Court, only for the Thirty-Three Heavens to soon collapse, and the Celestial Emperor Huangtian to be shattered beneath the stars of the Zhoutian constellation.

After finally recovering from his injuries over the course of an era, he discovers that the Heavenly Dao has emerged, the laws have retreated, and cultivation through the laws of the divine path has become nearly impossible. The myriad races, however, cultivate by drawing on the Heavenly Dao’s fortune, and their divine powers and magical strength improve by leaps and bounds.

He watches as the Ancestral Dragon leads the scaled tribes through the Four Seas, shaking the Eight Wastelands; the Phoenix spreads its wings, with all birds paying homage as it soars through the Nine Heavens; and the Qilin roars, making all beasts bow as its voice resounds across the earth.

Lu Wen’s gaze gradually turns strange...

Using the collective fortune to cultivate one's own boundless fortune—this method is utterly unpredictable and beyond belief. I'm really looking forward to the protagonist's future performances. It's truly remarkable that the author has managed to develop their own style; I hope they continue to strive for excellence. Finally, a single female lead would actually be acceptable.

The main character has so many aliases, but when will he achieve enlightenment? Shouldn't it be at least on par with the Dao Ancestor? Becoming a saint through the laws is also an option.

The Martial Ancestor's death was incredibly embarrassing; he was ambushed and killed by Hongjun right at the moment of his enlightenment. To be fair, for a Dao Lord to be so betrayed like that, Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao should pay a price later.

A rare ancient fantasy novel depicting a great calamity caused by ferocious beasts; it's worth reading. It was worth watching from the beginning until the appearance of the human race, but after that I felt it was rather bland.

To be honest, after reading so many novels, everything feels the same. It's quite refreshing to suddenly have someone write a novel like "God's Path: Red Red," just like "Infinite Killing Intent." Times are changing, and novels can't always rely on old ideas. Keep it up, author!

The content is quite good, but it needs to be more accessible to a wider audience. The process is described too briefly, making it easy to skip around in the text, although the content itself is still quite interesting. More details could be added, but the ideas and thought process are sound. Keep it up!

It looks alright, but the power system is too chaotic; I can't understand it at all. It feels like it can beat anyone, yet it also feels like it can't beat anyone. It's always inferior in every great eon, maybe only slightly stronger than Sun Wukong.

The writing is good, the plot is exciting, and it's clear the author has a certain level of literary skill. The opening lines of each chapter also really caught my eye.

I hope the author will soon resurrect the innate deities to complete the cause and effect. After all, it is truly despicable to destroy the bodies of virtuous sages.
