Name: So the Investiture of the Gods Was Never a Myth
Author: A Seer Crossing the Mortal World

Synopsis

I am an archaeological researcher, descended from a long line of stone inscription craftsmen. My grandfather taught me a script passed down in secret among ancient cultivators: the Heavenly Cloud Seal Script.

An unexpected archaeological discovery brought this script back to light. I realized with a shock that the legends of the Investiture of the Gods, passed down since the Shang and Zhou dynasties over three thousand years ago, might not be myths at all!

The forces of the Eastern Isles struck from the shadows. As I lay on the brink of death, an old Daoist who had lived for over two thousand years saved me. But the price was steep: I had only one year left to live!

To stay alive, I had no choice but to join Huaxia's mysterious agency, the Xuan Shu Special Affairs Bureau.

I have to visit all Five Great Mountains and awaken the Tiangang meridians within me within a year. It's my only chance to survive!

In the meantime, hidden clans and cultivation forces overseas have begun emerging one after another. Everyone is trying to uncover the ancient secrets hidden behind Guixu.

But they don't know that I, the only one fluent in the Heavenly Cloud Seal Script, am the one and only key to unlocking that buried truth!

Seeking Ascension Novels (Mortal, Immortal, and Divine Realms)

The protagonist ascends all the way from the mortal realm. They’re decisive and calculating, and they play the fool to catch their enemies off guard. I don’t want a protagonist with plot armor so strong that they just kill anyone who crosses them, or someone who mindlessly kills without a plan or any concern for the consequences.
