After Three Hundred Years of Ascension and Tribulation, I Kicked My Way Back to the Mortal Realm

[Alternate universe + unconventional cultivation + no goody-two-shoes heroine + no mindless characters + vivid cast + characters with brains]

One is a demoted Judge who cares only about money and has questionable manners. One is a rebellious, self-destructive wastrel, the Crown Prince of the Immortal Realm. One is an overseer deity whose gender and sexual orientation are both a mystery. And one is a monster determined to get himself killed if that’s what it takes to heal someone else’s leg.

Three people and one monster travel across the Three Realms, weighing good and evil, distinguishing right from wrong, experiencing the warmth and coldness of human nature, and cultivating themselves.

Jin Ling is an unlucky soul who transmigrated to the Spirit Realm after death and was forced to cultivate. To make matters worse, she brought down half of the Upper Celestial Court as soon as she ascended.

To make amends for the trouble she caused, she was forced to accept a divine decree: serve as Judge of the Hundred Monsters, clear out the monsters causing trouble in the mortal realm, and earn merit to repay her debt.

In other words: she became a wage slave!

But as she experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature, she changed her ways. Together with the Page-less Heavenly Book, she gave the Hundred Monsters a mortal realm where they could belong.

From then on, she judged good and evil, right and wrong, and never considered status, rank, or social standing.

But just as she was accumulating enough merit to ascend, someone goaded the world into killing monsters to save humanity. The Hundred Monsters, despised by mortals, were destroyed, and in a single night, life in both realms was laid to waste.

Jin Ling, who had always been a snob, gave up her divine post and her chance to ascend. Determined to protect the countless Hundred Monsters behind her, she wreaked havoc in the Immortal Realm. Less than three incense sticks after her ascension, she was banished to the mortal world for a thousand years, but she won the monsters a place of their own.

Then the Monster King appeared and chaos erupted in the Immortal Realm. Not one of the divine officials dared to face him, so they had no choice but to summon her back.

The Hundred Monsters built a little shrine and awaited the return of their absent goddess. Her ascension shook the Three Realms.
