I Started With Hard Work and Became Unstoppable

In the final years of the Great Song, the dynasty crumbled and the land lay in ruins.

Feudal lords carved up the realm, sects sprang up everywhere, and gangs waged endless wars. The demonic sect stirred up trouble in the shadows, while natural and man-made disasters drove the common people from their homes and left corpses strewn across the land.

More despairing than disasters or human strife were the demons.

People studied martial arts to survive, but fists and kicks could not hurt demonic bodies. Even an entire sect's strength amounted to no more than a single meal for a demon.

The path of martial arts had reached its end. All under heaven gazed up at the sky, yet no one knew where the road to survival lay.

A handful of peerless giants who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts could barely hold back the demons in their territories. But demons were endless, while human lives were finite. A city defended today might fall tomorrow.

Ambitious warlords sought to build new dynasties, while benevolent souls sought to protect the people. Yet beneath the demons' gaze, everything seemed pale and fragile.

After transmigrating here, Zhang Zheng suffered under the government's crushing taxes and the gangs' extortion. Nearing the end of his rope, he saw only darkness ahead.

Just as all hope seemed lost, he awakened a destiny: [Heaven rewards diligence, and effort always bears fruit].

This destiny shattered every limit. He faced no bottlenecks in any skill, and every effort brought a reward. With diligent practice, he could advance step by step.

The insurmountable barriers that others spent their whole lives facing were nothing more than steps watered with sweat beneath his feet.

In a chaotic age overrun by demons and ruled by wanton slaughter, Zhang Zheng relied on diligence alone. Training in martial arts with an ordinary human body, he forged an unprecedented path.
