Nine-tailed fox / immortal cultivation / primordial-world setting / fox demon becomes a Sage / Investiture of the Gods
She is Ling Yue, a nine-tailed celestial fox who has attained the Dao of Primordial Unity, yet neither joins the Mystic Gate nor bows to the Dao Ancestor!
Using the miniature spiritual realm she nurtured within herself as her foundation, she forges an unprecedented path to transcendence and Sainthood. The Ninefold Creation Diagram in her hand holds the secrets of creation. It can not only give rise to all living beings and turn reality and illusion upside down, but also catch that one sliver of hope for survival hidden in the tiniest thread of karma!
As the Investiture of the Gods calamity sweeps across the three realms, immortals and gods bleed, their true spirits reduced to pawns of fate, unable to escape the destiny of being named on the list.
The Sages look down from on high, while all living beings suffer. Ling Yue quietly enters the world from behind the scenes, not to fight for that illusory fortune, but to open a new path for those “destined” to perish beneath the cold Investiture of the Gods!
With the supreme power of transformation contained in her Mystic Diagram, she performs a “heaven-swapping” trick at the very moment an immortal or god falls: she captures their true spirit and places it inside the world within the diagram, giving them a chance to turn things around and infinite possibilities. At the same time, she creates flawless “spirit-double substitutes” to deceive heaven and take their places on the list, filling the gaps in fate!
Shi Ji, Caiyun Fairy, and the others have had their true fates quietly rewritten! The battlefield of Xiqi remains in turmoil, with the calamity of slaughter hanging in the air, but beneath the overwhelming tide of the Heavenly Dao, a hidden current is quietly growing stronger.
Are all those beneath the Sages mere ants? Ling Yue is determined to use her unrivaled art of transformation to challenge the decrees of fate and lay down her own game outside the Sages’ chessboard! This is not only a compassionate act of salvation, but also a way to prove her own path and build up her resources. A secret contest under her command, one that even the Sages of the Heavenly Dao can scarcely fathom, has begun!
The writing is quite in-depth, and it's not too traditional. It feels a bit messy later on, and there will be repeated content at the beginning of some chapters, but I also hope that it can be written after Journey to the West or even in modern times.
The author wrote some good suggestions. Check it out.
