Beneath the Heavenly Gate, All Are Mortals

My new work is out! Please visit Tomato Novel to read it. I hope you enjoy it.

Su Mu, an archaeologist from Earth, touches a blank stone stele and falls into another world, where he becomes a beggar on the brink of death. With no System and no golden finger, he rises from the dirt, fighting wild dogs for scraps as he devises an unorthodox path to power and befriends A Li, a half-demon. But then his sect betrays him, and his closest friend suffers for it.

While everyone else pursues ascension, he dares to question the Heavenly Dao. The highest realm was never an eternity spent alone. It is all living beings basking together beneath the starlight.

After eighty years on this arduous path, he rewrites the rules with the Realm of All Beings. Here, no one ascends. Here, all living beings become immortals.
