[Unorthodox cultivation + National Fate + dark creature modification + purely self-serving + no female lead (or an empress as a supporting character)]
Three years ago, Su Mu practiced the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art to save Great Xia, only to be branded a “national abomination.” The empress ordered his National Fate blessing stripped away; the chancellor impaled him through the collarbone; and the people cursed him as he was dragged to the execution ground, where he was to be sliced to death to appease their fury.
Three years later, the myriad races invaded, and the gods abandoned Great Xia. The nine border cities were slaughtered. The empress's crown was knocked into the dust, and the chancellor wet himself in terror. At the execution ground, the man bound to a post watched the northern barbarian army slaughter the city and smiled greedily.
“You want me to save the country? Fine.” “But first, give me every living person in this city as a welcome gift.”
That day, Su Mu broke his chains and swallowed a barbarian grandmaster whole. That day, he force-fed the golden dragon of Great Xia's National Fate a heart, turning it into the thorn-covered Abyssal Black Evil Dragon! That day, Great Xia's borders became a “living human exclusion zone”!
An enemy nation's god descends? Su Mu picks up his knife and fork and looks at the angel in the sky. “Bird-brain? I'll roast your wings and use your halo as a streetlamp!” Who says a guardian deity has to be benevolent? This Demon God of mine is fiercely protective!
This is the first time I've read a novel about the fate of a nation through evil cultivation, and I was shocked, but it's really good. The Cthulhu Dark Transformation setting is also very novel. I initially clicked in out of curiosity, but I ended up reading it all in one go. It's just that there aren't enough words. Author, please update soon!
