Even the Cultivation World Is Playing the National Destiny Game?!

Ji Linlang woke up one day to find herself transmigrated into a world of cultivation.

In this deranged world, leave your sect and nine out of ten people you meet will be lunatics; stay in your sect and you’ll meet eleven lunatics out of ten.

The bad news was that Ji Linlang had no golden finger and no kingly aura. She kept her head down and played nice in the sect for 500 years, outliving countless geniuses, until at last people could call her Senior Sister.

Over those 500 years, Ji Linlang had seen the sect’s senior disciple look down on a poor country boy, resulting in the deaths of the boy, the senior disciple, his master, his master’s master, and even his master’s master’s master; the sect’s junior sister embark on a passionate, torturous romance with a demonic cultivator, leaving half the cultivation world devastated; a prodigy appear out of nowhere, only for everyone to learn that he had achieved the Dao by killing his wife, before she came to his door and killed him in revenge, wiping out half a sect along the way; and an expelled fellow cultivator establish her own sect, turn it into the greatest sect under heaven, and then oppress the sect that had cast her out...

In her 501st year of being tormented by lunatics, Ji Linlang finally went crazy herself and made a stylish exit from her sect.

The moment she announced the name of the sect she had just founded, a voice rang out across the entire cultivation world.

[The fortune of this world has been depleted. Activating the National Destiny System.]

[No nation exists in this world. Its territories have been reassigned according to sect boundaries. One contestant will be randomly selected from each sect. All contestants will be transported to the arena. Contestants cannot use spiritual power in the arena, and their physical abilities will return to the mortal level.]

[To put it in terms you understand: the winner takes all, and the loser is fair game. Good luck!]

The next second, Ji Linlang, who had finally let herself cut loose for once, was selected by the National Destiny System and transmigrated a second time.

Seeing the familiar high-rises, Ji Linlang burst into tears.

National Destiny System, why didn’t you show up sooner? If you’d come earlier, why would I have bothered cultivating? I could have gone home in the blink of an eye!

-

Meanwhile, a gigantic screen appeared in the sky above the cultivation world, its images visible no matter where you were.

The people of the cultivation world: What is this iron box that can hold people? How did our sect’s pride get eliminated? Who is this Ji Linlang, and why is she so at home here???

Reader’s note:

A mix of the modern world and cultivation, with few fantasy elements. A story about cultivators who know only the law of the jungle getting beaten down by a civilized modern society.

I just want to write a fun power fantasy. The characters aren’t very smart, so if the story doesn’t make sense to you, just click the exit button in the top right. No need to force yourself to keep reading.

One last thing, here are two upcoming novels. Both have female leads. I’ll choose one of them for my next no-romance story:

++++++++

Upcoming Novel 1: The Manga Villain Never Gives Up

Zhu Wuyou transmigrates into a post-apocalyptic manga. In a world invaded by alien species, humanity joins forces to fight the apocalypse. The manga is serialized as a series of episodic stories about human heroes.

The System says, “You’ll play an important role. Very important. The manga can’t do without you.”

Zhu Wuyou’s hands tremble as she asks excitedly, “Could I be one of the main characters?”

The System says, “You’re the villain.”

Zhu Wuyou: “?”

The System: “You’ll play the final villain, tying all the episodes together.”

Zhu Wuyou: “?”

Zhu Wuyou calms down and asks expressionlessly, “Then what can you give me? Powerful combat skills? A System shop? Manga comment overlays?”

The System: “None of those. But you have a villain filter. With that filter, you can just stand there doing nothing, and everyone will think you’re evil!”

Zhu Wuyou: “...”

She might have only one lousy life, but she’ll give it her all.

Some time later, the System breaks down: “Why do they all think you have a good reason for everything?!”

Zhu Wuyou is just as bewildered: “I have no idea!”

++++++++

Upcoming Novel 2: Saving the World in Disguise

A young person should be chuunibyou while they’re young. Zhang Anlan is in the middle of her chuunibyou phase when she meets a System that claims it wants to save the world. The two hit it off, happily sign a contract, and set out hand in hand to save the world.

Zhang Anlan says eagerly, “Come on, let me create some characters!”

And so...

On Blue Star, now being consumed by strange monsters, one mysterious faction after another appears.

A Daoist priest with a sword on his back wanders the world, punishing evil and upholding justice; a six-winged angel descends from the clouds, spreading hope; a forgotten race of foreigners returns to the public eye, and a great city that slept beneath the sea slowly rises.

A new era begins.

Reader’s notes:

1. A secret identity story. The female lead works behind the scenes and is never exposed. Her nature should be close to chaotic good.

2. A pseudo-ensemble cast. The main perspective is the female lead’s, but there will also be plenty of scenes from her secret identities and onlookers.

3. An alternate-universe story. The characters’ values do not represent the author’s.

Theme: Everyone should obey the law and cherish the hard-won peace.
