CthulhuNo heroineDark CultivationSystem
[Not the Holy Mother] [Weird] This is a world of cultivating immortals without immortals. Spiritual energy is the exhaust gas exhaled by the nine primitive ancient gods. Cultivation is the slow assimilation of accumulating ancient god cells in the body. Tribulation is the ritual for the ancient gods to select the best ingredients. Ascension is just a lie for their souls to be swallowed up in one bite. The thousand-year deadline is the death penalty for all monks. Every extension of life will permanently increase mental pollution, and eventually become a monster without self.
The nine ancient gods are the world itself: Xuan Mu, the lord of the ruins, nurtures all things and recycles all life; Taiyi, the shadow of the Tao, incarnates the way of heaven and controls all skills and catastrophes; Kunlun, the mountain of bones, is the skeleton of the earth, and climbers will eventually turn into rocks; the sea of blood, Guixu, carries all memories, and those who drown are forever Drifting; the Dragon Netherworld of the Candle controls time and reincarnation, and the future is already determined; Chiyou, the King of Insects, spreads plague and mutation; Cangjie, the Ling of Wen, tampered with all history and texts; Jialan, the Lord of Sound, feeds on faith; Chaos, the existence of nothingness, is the end of everything, and those who know it will be completely erased.
Lin Mo, a modern time traveler, accidentally activated the truth observation system and became the only loophole in the closed loop. He can steal fragments of the ancient god's authority to survive, but every time he uses his power, he exposes himself to the ancient god. In the endless whispers and hallucinations, he struggled in the cracks of the game between the ancient gods, just to find the freedom that did not exist at all.
Because I couldn't find any good Chinese Cthulhu novels, so I wrote my own

The setting is very novel, the feeling of Cthulhu + cultivating immortals, a combination of Chinese and Western styles
