Cthulhu + supernatural mystery + scheming protagonist + feng shui arts + face-slapping
As the steam-shrouded fog of the Victorian era blankets London and the shadows of the outer gods of Cthulhu creep across the land, the ultimate collision between Eastern metaphysics and Western supernatural powers begins.
Li Qingyuan, an heir to the Daoist Hidden Immortals, accidentally transmigrates to a mysterious world. Amid the black fog of Britain's cities, he awakens a unique Beyonder Pathway as a geomancy master. With feng shui as his bones, earth veins as his lifeblood, and the Source Castle as his innate paradise, he takes up a bronze compass and traverses London's streets and secret abyssal realms. He fuses Daoist feng shui metaphysics with supernatural power, forging an unprecedented path to godhood.
Starting as a Sequence 9 Earth Vein Apprentice, he observes dragon veins, identifies baleful energy, and unravels deadly feng shui formations. His tools evolve along with him: talisman brushes for suppressing evil, dragon vein tokens, paradise seals, yin-yang mirrors, and Daoist jade pendants. The Source Castle transforms from a mysterious space into a spirit-gathering paradise, then a Northern Dipper Formation paradise, and ultimately a primordial dragon vein hub that protects Earth.
He navigates among the churches, the Hidden Immortals' Earth Vein Society, and the Steam Engineers' Alliance, surviving in the cracks between Eastern and Western supernatural factions. He ventures into lost realms such as floating islands and underwater hidden dragons to retrieve dragon vein fragments and purge the Heavenly Demon avatars parasitizing the earth veins. He uses feng shui retrospection to unravel the Historical Void and Daoist resonance to cleanse the corruption of the outer gods. During a once-in-a-century tidal surge of dragon vein Daoist resonance, he uncovers a shocking truth: the outer gods are ancient Heavenly Demons devouring the foundations of the world!
From a humble restorer of London's earth veins to a Daoist resonance traveler traversing the supernatural world, Li Qingyuan uses his profound Daoist power to suppress the Heavenly Demons and protect the dragon veins, amid a world woven from steam and mystery...
