Myth: The Celestial Stems and Earthly Fiends

It's one thing for a native to have illusions about Western powers, but for a modern person in their thirties to travel back in time to believe that Western powers were wary? Hahahaha, does the author believe that the US withdrew from Iraq because it realized its mistakes and was wary of public opinion?

The protagonist's perspective is too narrow. Since he's only seeking revenge, why bother considering the bigger picture? If he could kill Empress Dowager Cixi, why couldn't he kill the Emperor or the President? Only good at bullying his own people? Go visit the capital of any invading country and see which country dares to act. Such a narrow-minded approach. Since the military force has reached that level, isn't it just nuclear weapons? Which country would dare to act then?

The more I read, the more something seemed off. A cultivator in a low-level world like the Republic of China, killing an old hag? All that fuss, all that scheming, all that worrying about this and that—what kind of righteousness is that? Just to let her live a few more days and take away a few more territories?

Otherwise, don't touch history at all. If you do, put in more effort. Don't mention things like Yuan Shikai's silver dollar, whether Empress Dowager Cixi should have been killed, or what the consequences of killing her would have been. Your statements are contradictory. Since you think Empress Dowager Cixi shouldn't have died, what about your master?

What's going on in the comments section? Killing Empress Dowager Cixi and then foreigners—did this hit a nerve with some people? Or are their competitors just jealous?

All I want to say is, if anyone feels too good and wants to find something to upset them, they should check out the books written by this author and another author, Ninth Destiny. You're guaranteed to be satisfied.

In the conflict with the mountain god, the protagonist becomes hot-tempered and easily angered, lacking common sense 😥. He recklessly storms the mountain god's cave and kills him. This creates a disconnect and conflict with his previous character. The protagonist is completely controlled, lacking any independent thought, strategic planning, or decisiveness. The plot conflict is really mediocre.

It's well written. There shouldn't be too many women in the story. Firstly, most people don't want to read it, and secondly, if too many women are written about, some of them might not be written well and could become a toxic element!

Blindly compromising? I don't even know what you're compromising about? Killing the Empress Dowager Cixi will plunge the world into chaos? Wrong. After killing her, regional officials will rise up like dragons and snakes. The sooner the chaos, the better. Right now, the weapons aren't that differentiating. Chaos followed by order won't last more than thirty years.

The beginning was alright, but what the hell was that later on? Killing Empress Dowager Cixi took dozens of chapters! So much hesitation, so much fear—it's incredibly frustrating. What's the point of cultivating the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends? It's useless anyway. Why even try to kill Cixi? Just wait for her to die of old age; you're dragging it out anyway.
