Chaos in Another World

After the ninety-seven-year-old Daoist Su Xuan of Changle Temple passed away in meditation, he opened his eyes again and found himself transmigrated to another world, "Lan Star." Its history was astonishingly similar to Earth's: the Manchus were invading, and the massacres of Yangzhou and Jiading were unfolding. But this world had neither a Celestial Court nor an underworld. When people died, they vanished like lamps going out, with nowhere for vengeful spirits to go.

Laozi, Li Er, waited for him by a river for a thousand years. After bestowing upon him the Dao Fruit of a Sage, he drifted away, leaving behind one final charge: "Bring the Celestial Court, the underworld, and the human world into existence together."

Reborn at twenty, Su Xuan founded the Tianmen Sect. In the Changbai Mountains, he stole heaven's secrets and altered the dragon veins. In Jiangnan, he delivered an anti-Manchu divine edict through Guan Yu. Beneath Fengdu, he opened the underworld and formed an army of ghosts. Using Daoist arts to influence the course of the world and the divine path to unite the Han people, he ultimately drove out the barbarians, established the Great Han Empire, and conferred the gods on Mount Tai, restoring order to the Three Realms.

On the day of his triumph, atop Mount Tai, he proclaimed to the world: "The affairs of the human world belong to the human world; the affairs of heaven belong to heaven. Yin and yang are divided, and humans and gods each have their place." With that, he turned into a breeze and dispersed into the underworld, where he stayed by the banks of reincarnation with the heir of Houtu.

This Eastern fantasy novel blends transmigration, immortal cultivation, struggles for supremacy, and mythology. It tells how an old man, carrying ninety-seven years of wisdom, single-handedly rebuilds the order of heaven and earth in another world and restores peace and justice to the land.
