Two hundred years ago, on the battlefield of the Blue River, the last legion of the Bright Empire collapsed amidst the clamor of the demons, and the empire's last emperor perished in battle. The chaotic Western Continent, without a common ruler, saw numerous heroes rise and fight amongst themselves. Military might became the only means of survival, and dominating the world was the dream of generations of powerful warriors. In the southeast of the continent, there exists a powerful force that has existed for over two centuries—the Zi Chuan family. They fought against the Liu Feng family to the west, resisted the demons to the east, and suppressed the Lin family to the south. For their dream of power, and for the continuation of their family bloodline, countless outstanding figures of Zi Chuan have followed one after another, composing an epic and magnificent history. This story, "Zi Chuan," tells the tragic legend of this family over a century.

Amon stood before the ruins of an ancient statue of a god, listening as an old man told passersby the distant legend of Amon the God. No one knew that this silent young man was Amon himself.

If God created humanity, then who created God? Amon stood before the ancient ruins of a god's statue, listening to an old man recount the ancient legend of the god Amon to passersby. No one knew that this silent young man was Amon, and the incomplete ruins lying in the sand dunes before them were once the statues of his worship. This magnificent idol has been ravaged by wars throughout the ages. People who fought and killed claimed that they did so because they believed in him. He has many names on earth—Ammon, Arah, Messiah, Mohammed… People today may have forgotten that there once was a boy named Amon. —— I have completed serializing five novels on Qidian.com: "Divine Journey," "Ghost Stock," "Human Desire," "Spiritual Mountain," and "Geomancer."

5 惊 The Gate of Wonders 惊门 Young Master Xu Shengzhi徐公子胜治Urban3.0M WordsCompleted Cheng Tianle is just like his name suggests: over twenty years old, with nothing to show for it, yet cheerful every day, as if he didn’t have a care in the world. He drifted to Suzhou, scraping by on free food and lodging, when by accident and sheer luck he inherited the cultivation arts of a demon.

Cheng Tianle, true to his name, is over twenty years old and has accomplished nothing, yet he is always cheerful and carefree. He wandered to Suzhou, living a life of leisure and eating and lodging, but by chance and in a daze, he obtained the inheritance of demon cultivation techniques. When he came to his senses, it was as if he had opened a door to wonder in the world. It turns out that all around us, in our daily lives, on the streets and alleys, there are all sorts of demons. They are no different from ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot tell them apart. For example, your company boss may be some kind of demon in disguise; and the trendy urban woman you meet on the street may be the legendary fox spirit. Having experienced the dangers of the world, he finally understood that the methods of demon cultivation differed from those of humans and could not be practiced arbitrarily. Cheng Tianle also began to ponder why these demons mingled in the human world and lived among us. In fact, from ancient times to the present, there have always been demons and spirits in the human world, and their actions are a result of human behavior—as many kinds of people exist in the world, so too will there be different kinds of beings.

A clear, sharp mirror of frost holds a pure reflection, A bright, polished ice vessel washes a heart clean. Among the flowers, tears fall, yet I raise my cup; Beneath the moon, an oriole sings, and I set my zither aside.

The azure sea and blue sky are shrouded in the night's chill; what do I care about the waxing and waning of the moon, or its rise and fall? A clear mirror reflects a clear image, a bright vessel cleanses a pure heart. Tears fall among the flowers as I drink wine; the warbling of orioles under the moon silences my zither. A gentleman sighs in the shade of the parasol tree, his reflection lingering in the breeze. —— What kind of person is he? He has no earth-shattering supernatural powers, but he can be called a national hero amidst the dust and grime of the world. What kind of people are they? Beneath their humble bodies, they still maintain noble character and pure and beautiful hearts. An elegant figure stands silhouetted against the hustle and bustle of the world.
