[Classic revenge power fantasy, a beloved bottom adored by all, three tops competing in a fierce love triangle]
There is a rumor in the cultivation world: A boy from Wenjia Village has a yin-yang constitution. If you join with him, your magical power will surge, and you may ascend to become a second High God.
Cultivators everywhere are desperate to find the boy, but no one can track him down.
Cang Wu, a High God who cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness, desires nothing and wants nothing.
When asked about the rumor, Cang Wu coolly tells them, "There are no shortcuts in cultivation. The claim that yin and yang can nourish your power is just a rumor."
Yet he allows his beloved disciple to slaughter the villagers and burn their bodies, then keeps the boy with the yin-yang constitution whom everyone seeks imprisoned at his side.
No one in the world can stand against the High God.
No one knows that, amid the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in Wenjia Village, a boy with a horribly disfigured face and eyes brimming with hatred crawled out alive.
His face was hideous, his bloodstained eyes scarlet. As flames consumed the bones, he swore in their glow that he would grind the High God to dust.
No one knows that the boy with the yin-yang constitution from Wenjia Village was one of a pair of twins.
The boy sold his body and soul to the Demon Lord, making a pact with an evil being.
To learn the Demon Lord's techniques, he endured the humiliation of submitting to him, using his body as a furnace to cultivate together and help the Demon Lord rebuild his soul.
The Demon Lord's voice was beguiling: "What do you want?"
Wen Qi gazed at the bones of his family behind him, surrounded by flames, and answered coldly: "I! Want! To! Kill! A! God!"
A thousand years later, Wen Qi stormed into the High God's palace, carrying his beloved disciple's head in one hand and a bloodied saber in the other.
The High God lowered his eyes and said lightly, "You overestimate yourself."
Wen Qi sneered. "Today, your blood will be an offering to the hundred souls who died in Wenjia Village."
A gifted boy from the lowest rung of society + twins + substitute + disguising his ugly, birthmark-covered face + cool, unyielding, clear-headed, and not one to lose himself in romance + adored by all
vs. a powerful and debauched Demon Lord who eventually submits to unwavering devotion
vs. a passionate young general, loyal to the core, whose love goes unreturned
vs. a pious believer who is a thief, yet willingly drowns in devotion
Content warnings:
1. The beloved bottom is intelligent and never frail. He has no golden finger and starts out very weak, but later becomes invincible. [A boy from the bottom of society levels up by fighting monsters.]
2. There are three tops in the story, and none are split versions of the same person. The main pairing is set from the start; this is not a story where readers can bet on different love interests. [He and the Demon Lord have sex without feelings for each other early on.]
3. The tops are all terrible to their partners in their own ways at first. Later comes the chase-after-your-wife-from-hell phase, with the tops competing in a fierce love triangle.
