The Exorcist's Modern Life

The strongest exorcist of the medieval era, Jiang Xia, once an Imperial City Envoy of the Great Song, a senior scholar at the Dragon Diagram Pavilion, and supervisor of the Demon Suppression Office, transmigrated from a thousand years in the past. After witnessing the astonishing power of the modern age, he decided to reach the pinnacle of the modern world of spellcasters and claim this captivating absolute power for himself, drawing on the abilities he had possessed in his previous life. And so began a completely effortless climb to the top. Clearing out demon seeds? He had long since mastered that. Learning spells? The Great Sage and Most Holy Teacher himself was right here. Navigating social affairs? Court factional struggles were far more treacherous. As everything went smoothly, Jiang Xia couldn't help but marvel: Even though the world had been turned upside down and even demons had evolved, many things still retained the same core. After all, history always repeats itself, and only human nature remains eternal. Until one day, someone asked him a question: “So you're not from around here? No wonder you have such an extraordinary, distinctive air about you.” Jiang Xia: “You're too kind. I come from the Great Song.” “Oh, the Northern Song or the Southern Song?” ? Jiang Xia had survived countless brushes with death and witnessed the world's ups and downs without ever losing his resolve. Yet a dark joke finally broke him. From then on, he came to a sudden realization: The theory that human nature never changes no longer applied to modern people. Because deep in their bones lurked an inscrutable kind of “evil” called “being absurd for the sake of it.” “Compared to this bunch of trolls, shitposters, haters, bootlickers, and people who treat everything as a joke, even monsters seem more human.”
