The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: Don’t Mess with That Retired Old Man

Lin Shitou always thought he was destined to farm. Then he discovered that he was a reincarnated deity, with boundless divine power and an endless lifespan.

In a world torn apart by war, he kept himself hidden among the lowly. He raised a little beggar he had picked up into an invincible God of War, and guided a young girl he had rescued into becoming a female strategist who could outthink anyone.

He stayed behind the scenes, moving the pieces across the realm. His brother, the God of War, swept across the land for him, while the female strategist planned every move. Together, they achieved the extraordinary feat of unifying the continent.

When the new emperor ascended the throne and all the people paid homage, Lin Shitou retired after accomplishing his mission. He gave his friend both the empire and the empress’s throne, choosing instead to live as a wealthy man of leisure.

Everyone mocked him as a fool and a sentimental idiot, someone who would give up an empire and a beauty for the sake of brotherhood.

But they had no idea that, to him, the throne of this mortal world was nothing but dust. Nor was his retirement the end of the story.

When the dynasty rotted and powerful enemies returned, everything he had protected teetered on the brink of ruin...

At last, people remembered the ancient legend and turned their eyes in despair toward the silent manor.

He simply pushed open its long-sealed gates.

The hidden dragon has awakened. Now he returns to rule the world.
