The White Snake Devours the Heavens

Programmer Lu Yuan wakes up to find himself a little white-scaled snake, no thicker than a finger, in a world of countless martial arts settings.

Sword energy fills Peach Blossom Island before his eyes, while the clamor of battle shakes Bright Peak in his ears. This is a dangerous martial world where Guo Jing’s palm strikes are fierce, Huang Rong is endlessly cunning, and Zhang Wuji is protected by the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

As an outsider at the very bottom of the food chain, his only way to survive is the cold [Devouring Evolution System] in his mind.

Starting by stealing a trace of Huang Rong’s innate spiritual essence, he lurks in the shadows, laps up the blood left on battlefields, and devours the essence shed by the powerful:

Fragments of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Zen insight of the Tendon Transformation Scripture, Toad Skill, the God of War Catalogue...

He prowls the shadows of Shaolin’s Scripture Pavilion, steals a glimmer of power during the battle at Bright Peak, and quietly evolves amid the mountains of corpses and seas of blood outside Xiangyang.

A strange tale of a “white shadow demon snake” gradually spreads through the martial world:

It steals the essence of Ouyang Feng’s poison arts, devours a third of Zhang Wuji’s Nine Yang True Qi, and even takes a piece of the sweeping monk’s formless Zen insight...

The orthodox sects hunt him down, the demonic sects covet him, and the imperial Astronomical Bureau lists him for execution as a “monster descended upon the world.”

Lu Yuan coils atop Mount Hua, his slit pupils reflecting the stars of the heavens:

“The essence of this world of countless martial arts settings tastes pretty good.”

“But... when will I be able to devour the entire Myriad Worlds?”

This is the grim epic of a white snake that survives in the cracks of the martial world, then devours the Myriad Worlds and reshapes the cosmos.

(System novel + Myriad Worlds + dark evolution, no female lead, focused on survival and strategic clashes, and deconstructing the world’s setting)
