This is a terrible age: the nations are at war, the court is collapsing, and the fires of battle never cease.
It is not a good age either: gangs rule everywhere, bandits run rampant, and the people are barely able to make a living.
Li Qing is poisoned from the start, dealt a disastrous hand. His family is wiped out, and every blood tie is severed. His enemy looms like a giant hand in the heavens, beyond Li Qing's reach and impossible to escape. Fortunately, there is always a way forward. Li Qing awakens a Slaughter System, and can grow stronger simply by killing.
What if he can learn any cultivation method, martial skill, military text, or medical book, but can't master it? No problem. He can master it instantly through slaughter.
At first, Li Qing is just a grain of sand swept along by the age's mighty tide. Then one day, the Sect Master of the Gangji Sect sees this grain of sand and is utterly astounded, so jealous he nearly spits blood:
“What? It took me over ten years of painstaking practice to master Storm Blade Aura, and you learned it in a single night?”
“To be honest, an immortal appeared in my dream last night and told me to bring peace to the world.”
The Sect Master of the Gangji Sect declares, “He must be the reincarnation of the True Martial God.”
Years later, Li Qing stands atop a peak that seems to be built from heaps of white bones. He removes his armor. The age's mighty tide, once surging endlessly, seems to have been cut into calm waters. Looking out over this unified realm, Li Qing smiles.
This is a good age: the realm is united, the government is honest and clear, and the people live in peace.
It is not a bad age either: learning flourishes, bandits have vanished, and the people are prosperous.
This is a beginner's work. If there are any shortcomings, I hope you can point them out. Don't be merciful. I don't have a soft heart. Finally, thank you all for your support despite your busy schedule, Peng Yuyan!
