Curator note

Ancient monsters have become legends, and myths from all realms have been sealed away by the torrent of time. The bustling metropolis, with its towering buildings, hides many secrets. At 21, the young man met a mentor who would change his life forever. A whole new world opened its doors to him. The divine refers to the spirit that humans possess, which observes oneself and all things; Zen refers to quiet contemplation and calming the mind, a practice originating from the innate human instinct. Zen is spiritual practice, a state of being, and the highest pursuit of all living beings since ancient times—the ultimate destination of the heart. Essence and vital energy are matter, and wandering souls are transformations; therefore, we can understand the nature of ghosts and spirits. —The Book of Changes, Appended Remarks (Book club: 480419350)

In this world, yin and yang pair men with women, and children and grandchildren carry on the line generation after generation. Follow the current and you remain mortal; go against it and you become an immortal. It all comes down to turning things upside down in between.

Curator note

A rootless tree, its flowers blooming crookedly, is incomplete without the principles of Yin and Yang. Gold is separated from wood, mercury from lead, and yin and yang each occupy one side. In this world, men and women are paired, and children and grandchildren are born to pass on the lineage. To follow the natural order is to be mortal, to go against it is to be immortal; it's all about reversing things in between. This is a story written as "Ghost Immortal" but read as "Can Stop Children from Crying at Night". (The online community for "The Immortal Lord of the Underworld" is 476994705)

Yan Zhaoge's first time traveling through time, he arrived in a strange world where martial arts civilization was extremely prosperous. He stumbled into the Divine Palace Library, which contained everything and collected all the classics of the world. But what followed was a great calamity that destroyed even the Divine Palace. Then, surprisingly, he time-traveled a second time, his soul arriving in the same world, in an era many years later. People unearthed the remnants left after the destruction of the site, and the martial arts civilization here started anew, still in the development stage of a new generation. Yan Zhaoge, whose mind was filled with secret manuals and treasures of the Divine Palace, was transported to the present era for the second time.

Curator note

When Ning Ye's hair turned white, his face weathered, and his lifespan exhausted, he personally buried himself in the ancient coffin. After his body was plunged into endless darkness, he opened his eyes again and found himself back in a dream three hundred years ago. That great era had not yet begun, and the faces of those who had died for him were still vivid in his memory. For him, this was the best of times. With the destruction of countless worlds and the struggle for space, those who do not advance will fall behind. The once-familiar worlds of immortals and martial arts, and the struggle and fusion of fantasy worlds, all vie for the position of overlord when all worlds are unified. In the battle for supremacy among all races and the clash of geniuses, countless chosen ones of destiny perished. Reborn, Ning Ye seeks to lead the world of the Dharma-ending Age against the tide, advancing into each and every plane. To build the strongest sect, forge an unparalleled dynasty, and establish the highest holy land—in this life, I, Ning Ye, only wish to rule the world. P.
