    [Synopsis] High school student Lin Qiye went blind after witnessing a Seraphim on the moon 10 years ago and was misdiagnosed as mentally ill and hospitalized. After recovering, he transferred schools to start a new life, but was involved in the "Ghost-Faced Man" incident and awakened supernatural abilities, discovering that there was a "Gods' Mental Hospital" imprisoning gods within him. To protect his family and home, he joined the "Night Watchers," an organization fighting against mysterious creatures, embarking on a path to slay gods. The story blends Cthulhu mythology, Eastern and Western mythology, and modern urban life, unfolding an epic adventure that transcends gods and humans, life and death, with passion and sacrifice as the main themes. [Core Plot] 1. World Setting: A fog shrouds the globe, with only the Great Xia Dynasty remaining unconquered. The resurgence of gods has triggered disasters, and the Night Watchers have become humanity's defense line. The protagonist's "Gods' Mental Hospital" can treat gods (such as the Greek goddess of night, Nyx, and Sun Wukong), and after healing, their divine power can be extracted to strengthen oneself. 2. Key Climax: The Battle of the Ghost King: Zhao Kongcheng, a Night Watchman, fights to the death, entrusting Lin Qiye with the protection of the world, prompting the protagonist to join the Night Watch. Divine Wars and Conspiracy: From the destruction of Cangnan City to the confrontation with the Norse and Cthulhu gods, the protagonist gradually uncovers the truth behind the disappearance of the gods and the secret of the Great Xia not being swallowed. Reincarnation and Destiny: In the final chapter, "One Hundred Million Reincarnations," the protagonist group sacrifices themselves to reverse their fate, facing the cosmic enemy "The Key to the Gate." 3. Heart-wrenching Scenes: Zhao Kongcheng's self-sacrificing declaration of "wielding a sword against the abyss"; Sword Saint Zhou Ping slaying a god with a mortal body; Shen Qingzhu's infiltration of the believer organization; and the tragic wait of Jialan for a thousand years. [Character Traits] Lin Qiye: From a blind boy to the "God of Cause and Effect," he is loyal and righteous yet burdened with a heavy mission. Memorable Quote: "If the darkest night ever comes, I will stand before millions." Zhao Kongcheng: A humorous and roguish night watchman who interprets the "guardianship" faith with his life, a key figure in driving the protagonist's transformation. Nightfall Squad: An Qingyu: A genius with unparalleled intelligence, who deciphers the weaknesses of the gods through dissection and research, ultimately becoming the "Key to the Gate"; Baili Pangpang: The reincarnation of Lingbao Tianzun, a spoiled outcast who achieves a near-dimensional ascension; Shen Qingzhu: The only ordinary person, who devours darkness to become a fallen angel, possessing both combat prowess and loyalty. [Recommendation Reasons] Novel Setting: Combining Eastern and Western mythology with Cthulhu and supernatural awakening, the world-building is vast and logically consistent. Well-developed Ensemble: Supporting characters are not stereotypical; each character has an independent growth trajectory and shining moments (such as Sword Saint Zhou Ping and Night Goddess Nyx). Emotional Tension: The intertwining of national righteousness and personal bonds creates a dense flow of exciting and tear-jerking moments. Tight Pace: No filler; the story progresses layer by layer from daily school life to divine battles, with precise foreshadowing and resolution. Suitable for: Readers who enjoy action-packed ensemble casts, mythological reconstruction, and a mix of intense emotions. Points to avoid: The power scaling is a bit too fast in the later stages, and some settings feel somewhat pieced together (such as the mix of Cthulhu and Eastern fantasy).

    This courtyard house novel is great; I haven't read anything this good in a long time. I don't know why the rating is so low. Maybe it's because it doesn't involve animal cruelty and has multiple female leads, filtering out most readers. But it's genuinely excellent. It's very different from other courtyard house novels; the plot is completely different, and the "golden finger" (golden finger) is not the old-fashioned "spiritual spring space." The more you read, the more addictive it becomes. Highly recommended.
