The Number One Cultivation System in Jiuzhou [Spiritual Qi Revival]

[On hold for now. There are too many settings, and I'm not ready to write a long, level-up style epic yet TAT. This is a preview of chapter one. If you're interested in the premise, feel free to bookmark it. I'll start again once I'm better at handling a long-form plot.] Ying Huan was the wicked little girl whom everyone in Broken Village hated. She was violent, sharp-tongued, cold, and unruly, and was born with monstrous strength. Her fearsome reputation was so notorious that even the local gangsters were terrified to talk about her, and she could make children within ten miles cry themselves to sleep. Then one day, a group of unexpected visitors arrived in Broken Village. As the luxurious airship of the Jiuzhou Military Department carried Ying Huan away... The villagers cheered: At long last, that scourge is gone! Everyone in the Immortal Cultivation Department thought the new student sent by the military looked exceptionally frail. Student A: Is this really the only student the military recommended this year? Student B: Another one who got in through connections? Student C: Can she even beat the Divine Mechanisms Department? The Divine Mechanisms Department, crushed by Ying Huan: Heh. * In the early days of Star Calendar Year 4000, spiritual qi revival swept through Jiuzhou. An indescribable being, sealed away for millennia in the Land of the Abyss, quietly awoke. The earth shook violently, black clouds rolled across the sky, the World Tower collapsed with a crash, and disaster arose alongside hope. The last demon god of the Dharma-ending Age sat high atop the ruins at the heart of the forbidden zone. Its golden, slit-pupil eyes trembled as endless undercurrents surged. * During her studies in the Immortal Cultivation Department, Ying Huan picked up a beautiful demon hound. The hound was vicious, brutal, and untamable, infamous around the academy. But Ying Huan wasn't afraid. She coaxed it with a grin: "Come on. Be my attack dog." The onlookers watched in terror, sure that this girl who had foolishly provoked the vicious hound would be bitten clean through. But to everyone's astonishment, the demon hound slowly padded over to Ying Huan. It rubbed its face hard against hers, gave a low whine, and looked docile and gentle. At midnight every night, the demon hound quietly took human form beneath the moonlight. The defiant-looking young man lowered his eyes to gaze at Ying Huan as she slept. In his pale golden eyes, madness and love shimmered together. "All right. I'll be your attack dog." ...As long as you don't abandon me again this time. (A violently tsundere, chaotic ruler girl x her vicious dog) A god, and also your most loyal believer. 1. My take on spiritual qi revival and modern cultivation. The setting is full of original details. 2. I'm bad at writing blurbs. The romance is light; the focus is on the academy and leveling up. 3. Please see the reading guide in the author's note of chapter one for details. 4. Blurb written on 2022.3.25. Theme: Finding life in desperate circumstances.
