A Passing Stranger in This Life

(Traditional dark fantasy + mind games and a sprawling ensemble cast. Watch as a protagonist forced into darkness tears apart every schemer's script.)

After waking up as an ordinary mortal in another world, Chu Tianxing wants nothing more than to farm, settle down, and raise a family.

But someone he trusts most forcibly implants a spirit root into him, leaving him no choice but to cultivate immortality.

Only after joining Daoist Xuanwei's sect does he discover that every faction has already infiltrated it.

His senior brother, Ye Xiao, personally shoves him into a blood-sacrifice formation, while his senior sister slips a curse into his tea.

When illusions take control of him and leave his hands stained with the blood of tens of thousands of people in Baiyun Town,

The Heavenly Secrets Martial Arts Diagram finally begins to awaken. His emotions are stripped away, and reason takes command.

“So killing people doesn't need a reason after all.”

From then on, the cultivation world gains a demon lord ruled by absolute reason.

Wherever he goes, corpses pile up like mountains and rivers of blood flow. Nothing survives where his lightning strikes.

Only after slaughtering his way through the nine heavenly gates and toppling the headquarters of the Hidden Cultivators' Society

does he discover that from the moment he transmigrated, the spirit root, the sect, and his enemies...

were all parts of a carefully laid trap. Even this massacre was a predetermined part of the script.

“Since you went to all this trouble to create me as the Demon Lord of the Apocalypse...”

Chu Tianxing points his sword at the heavens. Lightning illuminates the terrified faces of the Nine Immortal Sects.

“Then let this false cultivation world return to chaos!”
