Name: Above the Gods: The Great Xia Xuan Suppression Bureau
Author: Southwest Mushroom

Synopsis

Ever since he spent 80 cents on a set of Seventy-Two Transformations mantras that supposedly belonged to the reincarnated Patriarch Bodhi, Xiao Che has felt he’s gradually begun his journey to immortality.

Xiao Che: “Teacher, the apocalypse is coming, actually. My dream is to cultivate immortality, then save the world by traveling through time on my own.”

His homeroom teacher replies coldly, “You, with your score of 300, think you can become an immortal?”

Xiao Che slowly raises his head. His usual expression disappears, and his innocent eyes turn cold and emotionless. He says calmly, “Yes. I came back just to tell you that I can!!”

The teacher looks at the chill glinting in Xiao Che’s eyes and nods.

“Come on, Immortal Emperor! Since you’ve transmigrated, get up here and solve this hard problem first!”

Xiao Che: “Master, I’ve suffered a cultivation deviation and can’t solve problems for the time being. How about you call someone else?”

In this world, the gods look down upon humanity and treat all living beings as pieces on a chessboard. Great Xia alone is the exception: here, people neither worship gods nor bow to ghosts. They believe only that human hands can hold up the heavens!

Three thousand six hundred years ago, the Martial Emperor founded the nation, burned the scriptures of the gods, built the Great Wall, cast the Nine Cauldrons, and gathered the weapons of the realm to forge twelve golden statues. With their flesh and blood, they built the unyielding backbone of the Huaxia people. The Great Xia Bureau of Mystic Affairs is the sharpest, hardest edge of that backbone.

When the gods descend, evil gods tear open the sky, and an army of millions of angels gathers overhead, ready to make humanity suffer divine punishment, only they stand fearlessly before the Great Wall left behind by their ancestors.

Behind them are the lights of countless homes; before them are gods filling the sky.

[To keep our people alive in this world, success need not be ours to claim. I will be the first to sacrifice myself!]

This is Great Xia’s oath, and humanity’s final declaration of defiance to the gods.

Looking for Thought-Provoking Books

I've been reading too many feel-good power fantasies and beginner-friendly novels lately. I'd like something with more depth. The plot can involve cultivation or fantasy, and the characters can be powerful enough to rule the world or achieve great military honors, but the story must have a central idea of its own and, above all, avoid double standards.
