Synopsis

[A masterpiece that should have gone viral, but was forced to stop updating]

"When the primordial chaos first divided, three great beings appeared between Heaven and Earth: humans, ferocious beasts, and demons.

Though humans developed intelligence early, their bodies were frail, leaving them at the bottom of the pecking order.

Ferocious beasts were primitive and uncivilized, but possessed powerful bodies from birth. Bloodthirsty and combative, some were even born able to command the forces of nature, capable of crushing mountains and splitting valleys. They held the middle ground.

Demons were born from the world's malice. They possessed both awakened intelligence and the bodies of ferocious beasts, as well as innate divine abilities. Moving stars and shifting constellations were as easy as lifting a hand. Thus, in the glorious age of antiquity, the myriad races bowed their heads, and demons reigned as supreme overlords.

Using their intelligence to wield their strength, demons rode and enlisted ferocious beasts as soldiers, conquering the Eight Wildernesses.

But as time passed, some ferocious beasts gradually awakened their minds amid the killing and conquest, and came to understand the path of cultivation. These awakened beasts were transformed from the inside out, and came to be known as "yao."

With the yao clan established, the ferocious beasts were no longer scattered. The yao led the beasts in a fierce rebellion and finally broke free of the demons' chains of enslavement.

Only humankind, crushed beneath the oppression of demons and yao, remained as helpless as ants and weeds, enslaved generation after generation.

Under unbearable oppression, resistance was inevitable. After a thousand years of patient endurance, humankind finally glimpsed the secrets of how demons wielded their divine abilities. Generations of brilliant thinkers devoted their lives to adapting and refining those demonic gifts, eventually creating the unique "Body Arts" and "Spell Arts" of humankind.

From then on, humans could wield the power of Heaven and Earth and seek immortality. The strongest cultivators who stood at the very peak of the path were honored as "gods."

With the gods' arrival, the chains had to be broken.

Led by the gods, countless millions of humans rose up in rebellion and launched a war against the supreme demons. Later generations called this conflict the "War of Gods and Demons."

The beginning is hell mode! The protagonist and his sister are regarded as "evil stars". This depressing feeling of being misunderstood by the whole world is too real. In particular, the setting of the sister who brings disaster because of her beauty is cliche, but combined with the background of "killing her parents", it instantly makes the story full of tragedy. The writing style is very stable, not mindless, but the texture of struggling to survive in despair. I look forward to how the protagonist can reach the sky and become a god and break this damn fate! Highly recommended!

Parents died suddenly and mysteriously. Death of a loved one, catastrophe, these keywords are stacked together to create a strong image. I feel that this is not only an upgrade novel, but also a history of blood and tears of revenge and protection.

The most beautiful woman in Linshan City turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare. This anti-routine setting is a bit interesting. Dear author, please update as soon as possible. I can't wait to see how the protagonist slaps those snobbish people in the face.
