    When the privilege of immortality suddenly shatters and cultivation becomes unsustainable, the once-prosperous Minghan Immortal Dynasty, flourishing for forty thousand years, plunges into chaos. Popular uprisings erupt in the Void Realm, and the Wei Nu Clan of the Utopia Realm rebels. Beset by internal and external troubles, the Void and Utopia Realms undergo a brutal reshuffling of the world. This work transcends the traditional, rigid model of cultivation and leveling up, integrating the struggle for destiny, racial conflicts, and the management of an immortal dynasty, painting a magnificent picture of immortal creation. Its core tension lies in the fact that immortality is no longer exclusive to emperors and immortal ancestors; the depletion of magical power disrupts the balance of the cultivation world; resource crises ignite racial conflicts; and the old order collapses completely. There is no absolute justice in the world, only the instinct for survival and expansion, creating a tense atmosphere of destiny and power struggles throughout. The protagonist, Song Bao, finds himself in the vortex of chaos, lacking any heaven-defying cheat codes, yet relying on extraordinary courage and strategy to navigate the desperate situation of fragmentation and warfare step by step. While relying on the Minghan Immortal Dynasty to strengthen himself, he also resisted the advancing Wei Nu Clan and pacified the restless populace. He accumulated power and gathered fortune amidst the chaos, single-handedly creating a new Immortal Dynasty. His rise is filled with political intrigue and ruthless conquest, and hidden within the choices made in a chaotic world. This book meticulously portrays the management of an immortal dynasty, from gathering refugees and revitalizing water resources, to subjugating tribes and establishing laws, and finally conquering all directions and reshaping the order of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Each step is solid and substantial, with a meticulously crafted plot driving the story, and the logic of the immortal dynasty's rise is self-consistent. The various ethnic groups in the book are vividly portrayed, and their conflicts of position and entanglements of interests fully reveal the chaotic world, both grand and cruel. From the fall of the old dynasty to the rise of the new, from resource wars to the unification of fortune, Song Bao's counterattack is not only the ultimate display of individual talent but also the opening chapter of a new era of Xianxia (fantasy martial arts). Readers who prefer grand themes and a balance of political intrigue and cultivation will surely experience the exhilarating feeling of building an immortal dynasty from scratch.

    After his entire family was wiped out, he was forced to abandon the Dao and cultivate demonic arts to venture into the underworld for his beloved. Using the ghostly path to continue his remnant soul, he discovered a shocking secret. Chen Ousheng's path is unlike that of other protagonists in wish-fulfillment novels; it requires slow and careful contemplation.

    Only one book recommended, a strong recommendation—No problem can't be solved with one arrow! If it can't, then two arrows will do! Li Zhu, a small-town hunter, originally only wanted to hunt a bear to make a fur coat for his wife Qingqing. He unexpectedly stumbled upon two immortal masters who had fallen into a valley and were both severely injured! Surprisingly, he was bound to a hunting immortal system, snatched a huge bargain, and instantly killed two Golden Core cultivators in one day, embarking on a dreamlike journey to immortality… Let him be strong, one arrow and he's done for; let him be arrogant, dare to act tough with me? A system notification, and the immortal sheds two lines of tears! … ​​All factions, good and evil, warned their disciples: "There are a thousand paths to adventure, but staying away from perverts is the first rule. When you're out and about, safety comes first. Never provoke a great demon who carries a quiver of arrows and specializes in hunting immortals." "What if he provokes me first?" "Then, you'd better pray for yourself!" "…" As a result, after the disciples descended the mountain, they discovered that the entire cultivation world was full of people carrying quivers of arrows, regardless of gender! Some were even more outrageous, with a bunch of wildflowers stuck inside the quiver... Damn it, is that how you use a quiver?! Who are you trying to scare?! So, I secretly made one for myself and carried it on my back... It's said that the nearly bankrupt Hundred Treasures Pavilion made a fortune selling various quiver-shaped storage artifacts, launching thousands of models, all of which sold out instantly. Even the storage bag, popular for thousands of years, lost its appeal. So, who exactly is this trendsetting, awe-inspiring demon? Is he good or evil? Li Jianshen shrugs: I am who I am, a unique spark in the mortal world. The sky is vast, the sea is wide, I am but a passerby in this realm. As for good or evil... Does it matter? The prey has no right to define the hunter! A traditional Xianxia story, not mindless action, weak system. Trust me, come in and have a seat, thank you. [Note]
