"Carry my corpse with me on a journey through another world to find my way home."
Chen Jinfan was only visiting an old Taoist who was gravely ill. On his way home, someone beheaded him, sending him straight to the afterlife. The underworld officials admitted they'd taken the wrong soul!
Luckily, the Underworld Emperor said there was an Ice Soul Divine Coffin on the Manli Continent that could restore his body and let his soul travel to another world.
So Chen Jinfan decided to head north in search of the coffin, bringing Black and White Impermanence along. But as soon as his soul arrived on the Manli Continent, he came face-to-face with his own decapitated corpse.
Why'd you send my corpse here too?
What else could I do? Since it's here, I might as well make do with it.
But as they traveled north, their party kept growing: Zhuoye, the former crown prince of Heaven, wanted by all three realms; Bai Tian, a ghost-demon who could only go out at night; a strange Taoist with a bird that could speak human language; a peach blossom demon carrying a child as she searched for relatives; and the young master Tang Shiba, returning to the Tang Clan family home for a meeting...
We agreed to spend the journey slaying demons and vanquishing evil, so why has the former Demon Emperor's sword recognized me as its master?
And why am I being dragged into conflicts between sects, with someone trying to assassinate me every few days?
Only halfway through the journey, Chen Jinfan started having memory lapses from time to time.
Sigh, I thought I'd developed a split personality and gone crazy.
Turns out I just had nine souls living inside me.
By the time he finally found the Ice Soul Divine Coffin, he'd become a villain hated by everyone, while his once-close companions, who had fought alongside him, each harbored their own agendas.
Only then did Chen Jinfan realize that everything had been a setup from the very beginning, and he was merely a pawn manipulated by various factions.
Not a wish-fulfillment novel, no harem, no brainless characters, everyone has a secret identity
The language is humorous and the subject matter is very novel. I highly recommend it.
The plot is quite interesting, the author should update it soon, it's not enough 😫
