Even though the Jiang and Shen families arranged a marriage long ago, no one ever connected him with Shen Nanzhi. For years, Shen Nanzhi thought the same. Jiang Jinnian spent most of his time abroad.

    Below is a map I drew for the novel, which can be used as a sample of an extra chapter. Do you know water bugs? Male water bugs are small, like a crumpled piece of paper, clutching their half-dead bodies as they plunge into the misty water vapor. Water bugs carry their mates on their backs, like a stone supporting their entire universe, and then they shoulder the responsibility of finding food. Their diet is broad, preying on all small aquatic creatures. Whenever they find food, the male shares most of it with his mate. After mating, the female lays her eggs on the male's back, then leaves and dies, as if abandoning all her own sustenance. After this, the male, carrying his wife's entrustment, will alone shoulder the responsibility of caring for the offspring. However… raising offspring is also very difficult. Water bugs must constantly move in the water to ensure sufficient oxygen and a suitable temperature, while also searching for food. Therefore, water bugs have an enormous amount of exercise every day. But that doesn't matter; as long as he keeps running around, life continues. This activity quickly depletes the bug's nutrients, converting them into heat for the larvae. After hatching, the larvae remain on their father's warm back, while the bug works even harder to find more food. Once the children are independent, the bug uses its long legs to pull them off its back, letting them scatter in all directions. After that… the bug is exhausted, and death awaits it. Of course, I'm not a bug; my life is better than itss. I have a wife, and she doesn't have to die. When I was young, I always thought I should find a glamorous job, the more dazzling the better. I wanted to settle down and start a family as soon as possible so my parents wouldn't have to work so hard. Back then, two miles from home, following the river upstream, there was a retired old priest who sat there fishing every day. The people in our small, run-down town respected him greatly, including my parents, so I often went to him and would ask him all sorts of questions. The old priest was a very kind man and always patiently answered my questions. Later, perhaps seeing my diligence and inquisitiveness, one day he decided to come home with me and tell my parents that he wanted to send me to school. Unusually, the adults, who usually argued endlessly over trivial matters, stared at me with unanimous, stunned looks. I didn't understand then, but now I think I do—it was a look of struggle, a reluctance to see a precious gem go to waste, but also a lack of financial means. Later, the old priest told them not to worry about the money. He waved his hand, contacted some people, and my schooling was settled. At that time, I felt that if I became a priest, the whole town would tremble at my mere presence, and from then on, my gaze towards the old priest became increasingly reverent. My parents didn't say much to me, and their expressions showed some longing, but in the end, the words stuck in my throat like saliva, hesitating for a long time before finally remaining unspoken. I went to school. I was just a poor student. The old priest had solved the problem of my schooling, but my parents still had to take care of my meals, so naturally, the arrangements remained the same as before. Every day, I would pick a fruit from a tree, get an egg from a vendor, heat it over a fire, tap it to make sure it felt solid inside, and then weigh it in my hand. Once it had weight, it meant the filling had solidified. I would catch a couple of insects, build a small enclosure, throw them inside, and place it behind the dormitory. If I was lucky, I might even get some meat. I studied at the Flormontosa [Phenomenon] branch. I heard that this school was very famous, and I was truly grateful to the old priest. The study of [Phenomenon] was very complex. I had to learn how light shines, how the wind blows, and even some things that I couldn't see, but I was determined to understand them. Back then, I thought the ancient sages described in the book were incredibly powerful; they seemed to know everything and invented everything. Later, after studying more, I realized it wasn't just one person, but many, whose names we'd all forgotten. Haha, even the old priest's name was forgotten; he couldn't even remember it himself. I had no background, no power; I could only rely on myself. Before I left, my mother told me to cherish my life. At first, I didn't understand what she meant; I just poured all my energy into studying. While others were reading the first volume, I was studying the second. While others were still observing the books of lower-level scholars, I was already previewing the textbooks of intermediate scholars. If you reach the scorpion level, then I'll be the comb jelly level; if you reach the comb jelly level, then I'll be the flattened level; if you reach the flattened level, then I'll be the linear level. Completing the oracle was just a matter of finishing the oracle; what could be easier than this? Then I understood what my mother meant. Later, during my completion of the oracle, I encountered a group of animals whose brains had been eroded by the ink-wielders. They had lost their minds and attacked anyone they saw. The brown bear was already incredibly strong, but this was even more so; a single slap carried the weight of tens of thousands of tons. Its speed was also phenomenal. I was completely stunned, forgetting everything—gravity, leverage, Kepler's effect—I couldn't remember a thing. The fear of death loomed large, terrifying me to the point of madness. Luckily, I encountered a shaman patrolling nearby; otherwise, my story would have ended there. Only then did I understand my mother's meaning. After that, I dared not complete the oracle, because my mother said to cherish life. If it had been earlier, things would have been better, but as time went on, I naturally became a freak at school, making rapid progress in my studies, becoming a role model for everyone, obtaining the highest level of scholar degree at a young age, and destined for a master's degree in the future. However, my level remained stuck at the linear level, dragging on for a long time, until shortly before that incident, when I finally broke through to the segment level. But it's okay. The process of learning about the [phenomenon] felt like returning to my mother's warm womb. I could still feel the gentle bubbles rising from the water, splashing against my face. But the fact that it didn't matter didn't mean everyone would see me as normal. Bullying the weak might be a necessary step for these so-called strong people on their path to self-proclaimed glory. When I was being harassed, a girl named Semia appeared. She was just an ordinary girl with no special family background, but she was bold, confident, and arrogant. She pointed out that an old priest had brought me in, and in her subsequent words, she implied that my backer might not be someone they could afford to offend. In fact, it was a clumsy lie; how could someone with a powerful background be so poor? But… if you choose to bully, why not hurt those who clearly wouldn't bring you retribution? In short, she saved me trouble. My respect for the old priest grew even stronger. Like a spring flower encountering its first drop of dew, we grew closer and closer. I'm not good with words, so I can't describe the feeling. Anyway, it was probably like that sweet feeling when you eat the candy your mother brings home. We seemed to have found each other, and from then on, our relationship was like a symbiotic one; neither of us could live without the other. She would knead her emotions until they were as small as a pebble, then gently toss them to me. I, too, would swallow my troubles, chew them over and over, until they were as small and fragmented as possible, before finally sharing them with her. When people are truly devoted to their partners, they always try to present their best side. Perhaps we both seemed…good enough in each other's eyes. We soon had a child. I don't know if I'm considered unlucky, but… the rope had indeed broken for me. Our first child was extremely weak. You wouldn't understand that feeling, watching her wet, wrinkled face emerge from her mother's body, then her pale face flush red after the first cry. She understands nothing, knows nothing, but always smiles and stretches out her hands at you, only to burst into tears again a moment later, as if something has offended her. Whether crying or laughing, it makes the child seem vibrant, but our child is always pale, unable to cry or laugh. You can only watch her suffer, wishing you could take her pain away. Just then, a promotion opportunity arose. I needed to find a medicine for my daughter; if I got promoted, I'd be a priestess, a priest whose every stomp could shake the entire city—that wouldn't be far off! But I had truly tried my best, exhausted every possible method. During that time, I even started frequently completing the divine oracles again, just like before, but it was too late; my daughter's condition worsened. Later, someone came to me, asking me to give away this opportunity, and in return, he would give me back a healthy daughter. I knew my daughter couldn't wait. No matter how many autumn leaves fall, they won't kill anyone. I'm just an ordinary person; I'm not even an autumn tree, just a leaf, light and airy when I fall to the ground. So, someone came to my door, adorned this leaf with gold, and picked it ahead of time—isn't that a wonderful thing? This opportunity itself isn't that valuable; the chance to give it away is what truly comes along! And… the priesthood I've always wanted to be? It's so close, within reach, not like the distance between a bus and the ocean, but like the beach and the sunset, so very close… My daughter is healthy and well again. Not long after, news came from home: the old priest had died, by the river, and it took several days for anyone to discover him. Did he just die so silently? It turns out, priests aren't that important after all. I thought their every move would shake the whole city. Remember the bug I mentioned to you at the beginning? Of course, I'm not a stink bug; my life is better than itss. I have a wife, and she won't die. It's impossible to hide the fact that I relinquished my title, so my family gave me a pretext of colluding with bandits to get rid of me. The Florentoza Academy couldn't keep me in the end either; what a pity for the old priest's good intentions. I brought my parents to the city; after all, I'm a link-up (a low-level rank), and as long as I have the tools, I can manage. My wife also has a younger brother who's still in school. I'm educated and know how important this is, so I told him and my wife to continue their studies. So, eight mouths to feed suddenly fell on my shoulders. Less than two years later, my wife graduated, and finally someone helped me share the workload, and I didn't have to work so hard anymore. But who knew… the burden was like a weight on a scale; it couldn't be unloaded. Once it was, the balance was lost. I fell ill. I was sick for several days before I recovered, but ever since I fell ill, my brother-in-law has been acting strangely. The way he looked at me and his sister always seemed to hold something else. Later, my brother-in-law graduated, and life gradually settled down. They had their second child, who was healthier than the first, but still weak. However, the family wasn't burdened by financial difficulties and could afford to raise him. One day, I went to a shop where I was helping someone adjust mechanical parts when suddenly there was chaos outside. I couldn't bear the commotion; all I knew was that the High Priest had issued a new decree dividing Crescent City into two parts, defining those attacked by the Ink Slayers as Ink Slayers and sending them all to the outer city. I only heard a snippet and then stopped listening; it had nothing to do with our family. But when I got home, I saw Semia clutching her blanket and crying. My eldest daughter seemed frightened, sitting beside her, not daring to say a word. My brother-in-law was speechless, standing silently to the side, not uttering a single word. I went to my wife's side and anxiously asked her what was wrong, but she didn't speak, only looking pleadingly at my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law was also crying. It turned out that my illness hadn't been easy either. The doctor's prescription was missing one ingredient; it either had to be gathered in the wild or made using tools. But there weren't such tools in the city at the time, so my wife went to the wild to gather the ingredient for me, but unfortunately, she was corrupted by the ink spirit during the process. That's why my brother-in-law had been working so hard afterward—he felt he was a burden to me and his sister. I didn't say anything. My family had become like this because of me; there was no need to blame anyone or think about fighting for anything. Comforting my family was the most important thing. The next day, we packed our things, tidied up, and went to the outer city. What happened next… what happened next… well, never mind. After that, the outer city was reorganized, and our lives returned to normal. I deceived a priest, and besides, I later learned that his identity was so special. So, I had to die, and my brother-in-law had to suffer the injustice, suddenly placing the entire burden of the family on his shoulders. But I couldn't burden my family any further. But then, unexpectedly, the priest didn't make things difficult for me. He was truly a good person; in this matter, he showed me even greater leniency. Then, I met with [the priest] in [the hall], and we sat down to talk slowly. I even… I died. The priest Aesop killed me, a single slit to the throat. But why? But… why? I can't remember. Thinking about these things makes my mind go blank. My ears are ringing; I can't hear anything. Aesop seems to be calling me. Blood is flowing from my neck. I press both hands against it, but blood still seeps through my fingers. I want to breathe, air, I need air. I feel a tightness in my chest; I can't breathe. The air I just inhaled escapes through the tear in my throat. It seems all the oxygen in my lungs has escaped. Oh, is my trachea broken? Let me see… My vision is blurry, I can't see anything clearly anymore, the world is spinning, I… I want to speak, but I can't tell if I'm swallowing or breathing. It feels like there's blood everywhere—on my hands, in my mouth, in my throat. Aesop is really calling me; I have to answer him. I can't speak; blood is all stuck in my throat, and all I can manage is a hissing sound. Who is Aesop? Am I going to die? The tree is flying! I'm a fish, holding a soda can I just fished out of the sky today. I'll have a feast tonight. That was close! The blanket I was riding on almost hit the power line. If it had broken, there would be no light anymore. Right, it seems like they're telling a story. What story are they telling? … Why are they telling a story? … Where am I? … What am I doing? … Who am I? … I've even lost my own name. ... Oh, right, the story of the bug that carries its young. Of course, I'm not a bug that carries its young; I'm luckier than it. I have a wife, and my wife doesn't have to die. Goodbye, Natoza—an unidentified annotation.

    This book is really good! It's a supernatural, high-martial arts urban world, and chapters 34 and 57 are thrilling! Especially chapter 57, which features a sword-wielding protagonist, one of the seven pinnacles of humanity, training at an academy. The story begins with the creator god's death, but he ultimately slays the god and becomes a god himself. The protagonist has blue hair and blue eyes, and later on, different hair colors correspond to different elemental abilities. The protagonist has no powerful backers or background, so he's basically not threatened and is decisive. The villains aren't as disgusting as some might think! The beginning might be a bit tough, but things get better later on! It's not a harem, but you can ship different characters. It's a semi-ensemble piece, entertaining and not mindless!
