The Top Sect Begins at a Mass Grave

Jiang Lian transmigrates into the cultivation world, where she becomes a nameless little beggar who could starve to death at any moment. She is also bound to a Sect Simulation System. All she has to do is take in disciples and build up her sect. Completing missions earns her a whole range of rewards. Jiang Lian, so hungry her hands are shaking, looks at Mission One: Choose the sect’s original site. (Reward: xxx,xxxx, and a bowl of barbecue rice.) A map appears out of nowhere before her, along with a little red dot representing her. Jiang Lian makes a snap decision and chooses the spot right beneath her feet as the sect’s original site. After finishing her meal, her head clears. Looking down at the mass grave beneath her feet, Jiang Lian can’t help giving an awkward laugh. So what if she’s starting a sect? She’ll do it! A madwoman has appeared in the cultivation world’s infamous mass graveyard. Her spiritual roots are impure and her cultivation is pitifully weak, yet she plants a sign there that reads “Jinhuan Sect” and declares she’s starting her own sect. The most laughable part is that people really do join her: sisters fleeing pursuers, a man who has lost his sight, a young girl whose entire clan was killed… Jiang Lian welcomes everyone with a smile. Build the sect, reclaim wasteland, and raise the sect’s development level+++. Collect resources, expand connections, annex other factions, and raise its fortune+++. Train together, explore secret realms, and increase the sect’s combat strength+++. With generous mission rewards on top, the sect flourishes. It isn’t until Jinhuan Sect’s disciples start roaming freely beyond its walls, claiming every rare treasure they find and readily stepping in to right wrongs, that the cultivation world finally realizes something is amiss. The once-vast mass graveyard is now shielded by a barrier no one can break through. Jiang Lian makes her first appearance at a grand gathering of the top sects. Smiling, she tells the former number-one sect in the world, “Let us have a turn at being the number-one sect. There’s another title we need to collect, too.” They say that year’s Immortal Sect gathering was a bloodbath. After Jinhuan Sect became the number-one sect in the world, no one dared provoke it. Reading tips: 1. A steady power-up story. The female lead ends up the strongest. 2. Plenty of one-sided crushes. The female lead’s charisma is off the charts. 3. A light ensemble feel. Coming soon: Game Descends, and the Monsters I Raised Are Not Human. Please give it some love! The full-dive game Star Abyss opens its long-awaited beta across the stars. Zhu Manting is drawn in by its unique creative character-raising gameplay and signs up as one of the first players. Without a moment’s hesitation, she chooses raising mode. After happily creating several characters, including [Slender White-Foreheaded Spider], [Chaotic Deep-Blue Spirit], and [Wriggling Black Tentacle], Zhu Manting discovers a massive catch to the mode. Combat players grind dungeons, lifestyle players gather materials, and base-building players fight over territory. But raising a little one requires not only rare dungeon gear and all kinds of materials from the maps, but also a vast domain for it to rule. From then on, Zhu Manting spends every day grinding like crazy, or on her way to grinding like crazy. She watches as her little ones gradually grow from cute cartoon characters into ever-larger beings, developing strange, beautiful humanoid forms. Eventually, they max out their talents and levels, become overlords of the stars, and each acquire several star regions of their own and countless followers. Their titles level up, too: [Supreme Queen of the Insects], [Swallowed Star Chaos Spirit], and [Madness-Inducing Outer God]. Having accomplished her mission, Zhu Manting retires and creates a new account, determined to become a max-level combat player. The next day, the game descends into reality and everyone becomes a player. Unluckily for Zhu Manting, she inherits her second account. Penniless, with not a thing to her name. The original launch-day players have all ascended and become exalted beings among the stars. As a famous character-raising player, Zhu Manting receives plenty of mocking and pitying looks. But when several dangerous beings who rule over star regions descend at her side and affectionately bow before her, each obediently calling her Mother, every mocking voice falls silent in an instant. … Zhu Manting’s success inspires countless people to try their hand at raising characters. They don’t expect to raise little ones as powerful as hers, as long as they can help them beat up other players. Then, one day, a brand-new 3S-class danger dungeon appears. Zhu Manting enters it and, in front of everyone, chops off the dungeon boss’s head with a single strike. Meeting the crowd’s stunned gazes, Zhu Manting wipes away a tear in sorrow. “Did you think you could raise your little ones this big without being strong yourself?” Raising mode is one giant trap! *Mini-scene At first, Wriggling Black Tentacle is exactly what its name suggests: a single, pitch-black tentacle. Zhu Manting gives it an evil trait, so whenever she feeds it, the little thing clings slimily to her fingers, oozes black fluid like drool, and murmurs in a voice no one can make out. The noise gets on Zhu Manting’s nerves, so she gives the tentacle a light tap. “Speak human.” The little thing immediately lets out a tiny, babyish cry. “Eep.” Theme: Everyone has a purpose and a talent of their own.
