Gu Yan had a secret.
If this secret ever got out,
every cultivator in the world might suffer a collapse of faith.
Because
this world had never been capable of cultivation in the first place.
The so-called Life Flame was something he’d made up on the spot to save his little sister.
The so-called Demon-Subduing Talisman was something he’d hastily invented the next day because he thought ordinary people couldn’t fight ghosts.
The so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth was something he’d casually added to the world’s laws because the success rate of cultivating with the Life Flame was too low.
Even the Qi-Gathering Manual, revered by billions around the world as the origin of cultivation…
had started as an experimental draft that Gu Yan himself hadn’t even managed to master.
But Gu Yan had awakened the ability [Belief Makes It Real].
As long as enough people believed,
whatever he made up
became real!
And so, things gradually spiraled out of control.
“I heard the Life Flame is an Eastern secret art lost for a thousand years?”
Gu Yan: “Actually, I thought of it last night.”
“I heard the Qi-Gathering Manual comes from an ancient cultivation civilization?”
Gu Yan: “Before yesterday, the world didn’t even have spiritual energy.”
“Then the Kunlun Immortal Sect, flying swords, paradises and blessed lands…”
Gu Yan fell silent.
Cultivators everywhere suddenly had a bad feeling.
Gu Yan slowly closed his notebook of worldbuilding notes.
“Well…”
“I made those up too.”
