Name: They Call Me a Demonic Taoist
Author: Upholding the Three Views

Synopsis

[Lovecraftian Cultivation + Utterly Wicked Unorthodox Path + No Heroine + Light Ensemble Cast + Born Human + Great Goodness, Utter Darkness + All Living Beings as “Foundation”]

In an age of the Five Turbidities, bizarre cultivation, and the end of the Dharma...

“I, Zhu Ping'an, was just a boy scraping by in a borderland. At first, I only wanted to survive...”

Yet as he journeyed on, he discovered that everywhere he looked, this world was written with just two words: “devouring people”!

If that's how it is, then let you all become the foundation of my Dao and the nourishment for my eternal life. Only then can I, Zhu Ping'an, truly be “safe and sound.”

Note: This book has a light ensemble cast. Every bit of setup and foreshadowing can be traced back to its source. It follows a reverse-inference style.

It involves the tribulations of heaven and earth, karma, fortune, and fate. The world has been replaced and remade many times.

Likewise, the protagonist was not simply a soul transmigrated into an ordinary body. He was reincarnated, with major karmic ties involved.

The story therefore weaves together various writing styles, but the protagonist will not be put through misery. This is a dark, feel-good novel in disguise, and the protagonist won't mindlessly “slaughter” people.
