It’s not that I actually turned into a toad, and this isn’t one of those pet stories.
This is a world where technology and cultivation come together? What? That guy can use mycelium as his dantian, some people can even use magic, and just reading a book can turn you into a god of war? There are even conceptual gods who can make whatever they imagine appear, and you can use speech magic too.
When quantum entanglement meets the Golden Core Dao, starship decks can be engraved with spirit-gathering arrays. Some seize the chance to weave mycelial neural networks into biological dantians, circulating pale cyan spores through their meridians. Others compile speech-magic formulas into quantum code, so that the moment a spell is spoken, it triggers an orbital annihilation cannon. And the most powerful can influence reality with their thoughts: wherever quantum foam roils in their sea of consciousness, the divine realm of “whatever you imagine becomes real” takes shape.
What? You’re saying this book also defines what counts as nonhuman? Demons are beasts with no intelligence, only instinct, and birds and animals that have gained sentience.
Monsters are abnormal, with their own peculiar rules, and most are one of a kind.
Even inanimate objects have names of their own? Creatures that originally had neither intelligence nor instinct are called spirits once they gain sentience?
Then what am I? What? My golden finger is a toad?
