The Nine Gates: Crossing into Another Era with a Script

After transmigrating, he becomes Wu Laogou, the Fifth Master of the Ping San Men.

In 1935, Changsha is a city of intrigue and turmoil. More than a hundred soldiers from Zhang Qishan’s 401st Battalion have vanished without a trace, and every clue points to the forbidden underground site known as the Tower Beyond Time.

When the man who murdered his brother comes knocking in the dead of night, he swallows his grief and sets off with his divine hound, Three-Inch Nail, into a trap that should mean certain death.

While others are driven mad by time loops in the Tower Beyond Time or terrified by its puppet soldiers, he has the script in hand and plans his every move:

“Zhang Qishan, there’s a living Bagua formation up ahead. Even perfect marksmanship won’t help you, but my Three-Inch Nail can sniff out its core.”

“Master Fo, don’t act so cold. You’re more afraid of what’s in this tower than I am, aren’t you?”

From the spatially distorted “800-meter death trap” to the “narrative trick” that brings cognition to a standstill, he uses his foreknowledge to keep dodging the successive murder plots laid by Ding Qiansui and the Japanese, turning a dead end into a way out by sheer grit.

In this underground maze where survival is all but impossible, he will uncover secrets buried for a century and shatter the Japanese invaders’ schemes.

This story combines the chivalry of a martial world filled with flashing blades with the tragic weight of duty to the nation. See how a transmigrator with the script in hand reshapes the legend of the Nine Gates!
