This is a Chinese-style fantasy novel with great staying power. The story begins with the cruel human sacrifice in Shenhe City. In order to rescue his sister, Wang Shuo, a young man, fought against the corrupt rules of the entire city alone, stirring up the entire situation on the altar. The goddess Ji Qingwu, who was originally ordered to eliminate disasters, gradually broke through the illusion of the goddess's identity and saw that she was just a pawn in the royal power's scheme. An old contract under the water tightly bound the fate of the two, and the two opposing camps were forced to join hands. The book not only contains battles between evil spirits, but also reveals the intertwined conspiracies between the local government and the royal capital. There are no adventures from the sky, the protagonist is struggling in hardships and traps, the characters are three-dimensional and vivid, the narrative atmosphere is strong, and the suspense is intertwined. After uncovering the darkness of Shen He, the real game has just begun. It is worth reading for fans of fantasy and conspiracy. @ The further you read, the more you can feel the charm of this book. The bond between Wang Shuo and Ji Qingwu is not simple love, but the mutual redemption of two people in desperate situations. The monsters and monsters are just the outer shell, but inside is a profound torture of the corrupt royal power and the ignorant world. As the mystery emerges little by little, the past events of Shenhe City and the secret behind the goddess are shocking. The rhythm of the plot is relaxed and relaxed, and the struggle and perseverance of the characters are particularly touching. Under the mountains and seas, the chess game of fate has already been unfolded, making people unable to help but keep chasing it! [Smile]
Hello everyone, I am Shanhai Jiren, the author of this book. The moment I started writing about the Black River Festival in Shenhe City, I didn't want to write it into a streamlined upgrading novel. What I want to tell is never a cliché story about a young man who pushed his way to the top of the immortal world, but the fateful path of two people who were sacrificed by the times and tore apart the cannibalistic order of the entire dynasty. At first, Wang Shuo was just an ordinary person who wanted to protect his sister. There was no adventure from the sky. His power came from understanding the true names of the alien beasts and seeing through the lies of sacrifice. Ji Qingwu carried the glory of the goddess, but finally found that he was just a human sacrificial vessel raised by the royal power. The two went from being in opposition to chasing each other to being forced to live together. There was no forced love entanglement, but more about the mutual support and two-way redemption of two sober people in troubled times. The whole story is rooted in the national customs of mountains and seas, including black rivers, ancient altars, and dormant strange beasts. I deliberately weakened the rampant cultivation hierarchy system and took machinations, sacrifices of human lives, and the collapse of the old order as the core context. From the human sacrifice pits in Shenhe City, to the layers of calculations at Duanchao Station, to the gray name system in which the royal capital treats people as account books, I wanted to use the shell of fantasy to write about the struggles of low-level people under the rules of power and the lonely courage to fight against the injustice of the world. I know that the pace of this book is slow in the early stages, the fighting scenes are not intensive, and some of the foreshadowings require the reader's patience to read. It is not a fast-food online novel that pursues instant pleasure. But I always insist on not writing mindless tricks or engaging in harem drama. I strive to have foreshadowing for every reversal and for every character growth to be logical. Thank you very much to the readers who have followed the updates all the way. I read every comment you make carefully. If you prefer Eastern fantasy with a sense of atmosphere, core, and anti-routine, and are willing to sink your heart into feeling the fate and resistance in the chaotic world of mountains and seas, I look forward to you entering "The Goddess and I Rule the Mountains and Seas" and join Wang Shuo and Ji Qingwu to break the old order of sacrifice for thousands of years.
A Chinese-style fantasy with a full sense of atmosphere! Shenhe City sacrificed living people to the river. The so-called river god was actually a man-eating alien beast transformed into a snake. Wang Shuo, a young man from the bottom of society, barged into the altar to save his sister, and was bound by fate to the goddess Ji Qingwu who was supposed to capture him due to an ancient contract. There is no sense of mindless fun, and the counter-routine is brilliant. The heroine's status as a goddess is a shackle, not a halo; the hero's struggle is only to protect his loved ones. The two went from being in opposition to being side by side, sharing the same pain and suffering, and jointly broke through the city's disguise, only to discover that sinking into the river was just the beginning, and the real conspiracy was hidden in the royal capital. The writing is sharp, the pictures are full of sense, the strange beasts are fierce, and the human heart is even more dangerous. If you like to focus on character design, strong world view, and puzzle solving, you can go for ancient fantasy. The layout is grand and the atmosphere of legends of mountains and seas is full. The protagonist and the goddess struggle side by side, the plot is full of ups and downs, and the suspense unfolds layer by layer. It makes the book feel very immersive and worth reading.
It is a masterpiece of Chinese folklore and monsters with a strong sense of atmosphere. It breaks away from the traditional fantasy monster-fighting and upgrading routines, making it a refreshing read. The story begins with the cruel human sacrifice in Shenhe City. In order to save his sister, Wang Shuo, a young man from the bottom, broke into the altar and accidentally formed an old life-and-death contract with the shackled goddess Ji Qingwu. The two went from hostility and suspicion to walking side by side. The novel borrows the story of a strange beast that transforms into a snake from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" as an introduction, but its core focuses on human nature and power. The so-called beast-suppressing goddess was actually a sacrificial vessel prepared by the royal power; the grand ceremony was nothing but a scam in which humans were killed to feed beasts. The writing is cold and thick, and the scenes such as the Black River altar and the old underwater sacrificial pit are full of imagery, and the foreshadowing is buried layer by layer. There is no brainless cheating. Two ordinary people who are sacrificed by the world, tear apart the local lies, and face the deeper conspiracy of the royal capital. The characters are three-dimensional and vivid, and underneath the outer shell of the monsters is resistance to the unfair order. Readers who like Machiavellian monsters are worth a try.
This is a really exciting novel about ghosts and psyches. It starts with a group of people having a ridiculous river festival, and the protagonist is also very energetic. Fortunately, the golden finger comes in time. [Read it carefully] The plot is ups and downs, fascinating, and very exciting. Highly recommended!
The first scene is great to watch, the content is so exciting, and the chapters are not laggy, and each chapter has a lot of words while also giving people a very visual and immersive experience. I think it is really great, come on [Sparrow Food Masterpiece]
The writing has a strong sense of atmosphere, the world view unfolds layer by layer, and secrets are revealed along the way. The characters are vividly created, the plot has constant twists and turns, and the story is full of tension. Worth reading.
The plot is well-layered, the content is rich and colorful, and it's very interesting to watch!
The character description is so strong, I like it. Multi-tweet [flying kiss] [flying kiss] [flying kiss] [flying kiss] [flying kiss] [flying kiss] [flying kiss]
