[Transmigration + Lovecraftian Horror + Dark Cultivation + Ruthless Protagonist]
Li Wei wakes up to find that he isn't a prince surrounded by beauties or a good-for-nothing rising to greatness. Instead, he's been thrown straight into hell from the start: his soul has transmigrated into a bizarre cultivation world watched by indescribable beings!
Here, cultivation techniques originate from evil gods whispering in madness, and the “spiritual energy” used in cultivation is a corrupt qi that erodes the mind. The moment you sense qi, a lifetime of tribulations begins! Every time you advance a realm, you must face inner demons and otherworldly horrors drawn by the qi within you. Madness and distortion are never far away.
Mortals see him as a walking disaster. Righteous cultivators hunt him down without mercy. The deep-dwelling kin of the Ancient Gods regard him as a tasty morsel…
With a maddening, otherworldly book of hidebound secrets in hand, Li Wei refines the corrupt qi and struggles through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. From fighting to survive in the [Qi-Sensing Realm], to battling inner demons in the [Tribulation Realm], and finally to stealing the Way and becoming inhuman in the [Form-Refining Realm]…
“Since this path to immortality is filthy, and all living beings see me as a demon…”
“Then I shall forge this corrupt qi into chains, steal the power of the Ancient Gods, and cut down every false immortal and heretical evil god in the world!”
This is a Lovecraftian cultivation journey that walks the edge of madness, draws strength from the deepest darkness, and ultimately turns against the gods!
(Not a traditional power fantasy. The protagonist is ruthless, grows amid distortion, and gradually becomes inhuman. The journey is dark, and the ending is undecided.)
