Honghuang: I Am Pangu, Tempered Through Tribulations to Attain the Dao

Under the supreme laws of the Chaos Will, Pangu, who had created Heaven and Earth, became all things, yet his true spirit fell into the cycle of reincarnation because he had not settled the karmic debt of creation. He was reborn as a frail, lonely little boy at the bottom of the Primordial World, naming himself "Gu." Though he seemed naive and meek, he was in truth the Pangu Origin, whose memories were gradually awakening, forced to relive the great tribulations of the Primordial World in a mortal body.

From the undercurrents of the First Dragon-Han Tribulation, through the cataclysmic War of the Lich Clans, to the struggle among Sages during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, Gu was always treading on thin ice. He secretly absorbed the tribulation energy of Heaven and Earth to grow stronger, reclaiming his scattered origin and karmic ties along the way: he tricked and killed a clone of Rahu amid the battle between dragons and phoenixes; stole half the merit when Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation; seized Pangu's Spine when Buzhou Mountain fell; and finally confronted the Heavenly Dao Sages on the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods, revealing his identity and shaking the Primordial World.

With his foreknowledge of the Primordial World's grand course and his awakening of the Law of Power, Gu fed on tribulations and wielded schemes like blades. He rose from a slave as insignificant as an ant to a heaven-defying being who crushed Donghuang and stood toe-to-toe with Hongjun. He plotted at every turn and face-slapped the Sages, all to break free from the shackles of the Chaos Will and attain the Supreme Dao: "Once, you made me endure tribulations. Today, I shall use tribulations to attain the Dao!"

This novel focuses on "a rise from the bottom, identity reversals, and behind-the-scenes manipulation." It moves at a fast pace, packed with satisfying moments, blending classic elements of the Primordial World with the wish-fulfillment appeal of modern web fiction to tell an epic tale of Pangu's return to the Primordial World and his mortal body shaking the Heavenly Dao.
