[The Hundred Schools of Thought] [Leveling] [Old-School Hands-On Crafting]
Bai Xiao suddenly awakens memories from a past life and becomes a lowly mine worker about to be beaten to death with a staff.
Fortunately, he has a scroll called the Book of Fate.
Any living being he has crossed paths with can be recorded in it, their life story written down and their good and evil judged.
In return, he can gain cultivation, lifespan, and all kinds of wonderful techniques and magical treasures.
A retired scholar has done good by educating others,
so he is rewarded with a year of cultivation and the ability to remember anything at a glance.
A painted-skin demon has harmed living beings,
so three years of cultivation are taken from it, along with its art of changing its face a thousand times.
Bai Xiao plans to hide in the mines, starting as a nobody, recording all living beings and silently judging them as he grows stronger.
But then he turns around and sees:
[Living Being: Ji Qinghan]
[Identity: Eldest Princess of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty]
Bai Xiao falls silent.
How has the dignified eldest princess of an immortal dynasty ended up in a prisoner wagon, facing a beating with a staff?
He looks at her remaining lifespan: just three days.
Bai Xiao grits his teeth and steels himself:
"Your Highness, you wouldn't want your identity exposed, would you?"
The emperor who swept across the six directions and brought the chaotic age to heel has vanished without a trace.
The sages of the Hundred Schools spread their teachings, while demon kings and fiends wreak havoc on the laws of the land.
Living beings across the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. Once entered into the Book of Fate, they all come under Bai Xiao's judgment.
"And so..."
Bai Xiao slowly closes the Book of Fate.
"All the demons in the skies and sages of the Hundred Schools, all rewards for good and punishments for evil, shall be decided by my word alone!"
