[Behind-the-scenes development + world-building + slow-burn cultivation for beginners + playing the fool to catch the tiger]
What’s it like to stumble upon a pocket world?
Other people find treasures. Qin Que found a world on the verge of death.
Beneath an abandoned well, he obtained the Primordial Heaven-Returning Seed and became the world master of the dying fragmentary realm, Heaven-Returning Realm.
Its spiritual veins are severed, its mountains and rivers are withered, its people are dwindling, and even the Heavenly Dao has only a wisp of lingering consciousness left.
But as long as he repairs the world, Qin Que will be rewarded with its power, allowing him to improve his cultivation and gain more authority as its world master.
And so, from that day onward
he keeps a low profile in the outside world as an obscure junior disciple of the Three Purities Sect,
while within his world, he quietly restores spirit springs, nurtures spiritual soil, enlightens a white fox, shelters the survivors, and helps civilization flourish.
He watches barren land produce spiritual grain,
a group of survivors learn to cultivate,
a white fox gain intelligence and become a demon,
ancestral stones erected, a Daoist palace take shape, and mountains and rivers come back to life…
Qin Que gradually realizes that what he has raised is no longer just a secret trump card.
It is a world that can cry, laugh, die, reproduce, and place its hopes in him.
This is the story of how a fragmentary realm grows into an immortal realm spanning the heavens.
