Synopsis

[Gods + Sequences + Ancient Martial Arts + Soft Sci-Fi + Extraterrestrial Civilizations + Huaxia]

This is a story about immortal arts and martial arts clashing with modern technology.

In the modern world, technology reigns supreme, and traditional martial arts are gradually being abandoned. Humanity conquered space but found nothing there. Only then did it discover that an earth-shattering secret lay buried beneath the ocean.

Undersea ruins, strange metals, gigantic creatures, alien life, myths made manifest, living totems… What will the world become when all these unbelievable secrets are uncovered?

The sudden explosion of technological progress may not be a good thing. More and more people are implanting elastic mithril into their bodies and becoming biomimics, while their humanity gradually fades away.

Little do they know that all of this is part of a conspiracy. Who is the hidden hand behind it all?

Wang Zhan, a wage worker who practices traditional ancient martial arts, uses his flesh and blood to fight technology-enhanced humans with metal implants. At the same time, he follows the trail of history, unraveling mysteries in search of the truth.

I’m So Disappointed in Urban Cultivation Novels!

99.9% of urban cultivation novels follow the same formula: an Immortal Emperor (or Immortal Venerable) returns to Earth, and from the start, runs into a classmate who mocks him and invites him to a reunion. He shows off and face-slaps everyone at the reunion, then meets an old man from a powerful family who asks him to treat an illness.

Lots of new writers have joined Tomato, and they're really talented. There are plenty of older books worth reading, but the newcomers deserve attention too. And someone needs to help those of us in a reading slump. So, those books on your bookshelf, um... bring them out, you know what I mean?

Superpowers, but Not Everything Should Depend on the System

I’d like something like "Slay the Gods", with a special squad defending Great Xia and killing outer gods. Please don’t make the System too ridiculous. Seriously, not too ridiculous.
