Immortals, gods, demons, kings, generals, and ministers; a dragon maiden holds a lamp, and a cup holds the sea. Wild foxes meditate, fierce tigers attain enlightenment; they roam the North Sea in the morning, and travel to Cangwu in the evening. Immortals and gods exist in the world, while demons and monsters establish their kingdoms. These things originally had absolutely nothing to do with Qi Wuhuo. Qi Wuhuo, who always saw square characters in his dreams, was only thinking about being able to participate in the spring examination the following year. While he was making millet porridge, an old man gave him a jade pillow, which gave him a long dream. A fleeting dream. Awakening from the dream of wealth and power, his worldly desires were shattered, and from then on, the door to spiritual cultivation was opened wide. The golden crow flies, the jade rabbit runs. A single grain of millet in the Three Realms, a few years of dust in the mountains and rivers. I idly walk through the bustling city with my sword. No one knows I am a true immortal.

16 超EN Super-Dimensional Wizard 超维术士 Mu Hu牧狐Eastern Fantasy16.4M WordsOngoing Wizards hold an exalted, unrivaled status across the continents and the multiverse. Mystery, wisdom, cruelty, and bloodshed are practically synonymous with wizards. But what are wizards really like?

Curator note

Wizards hold a supreme position across all continents and planes. Mysterious, wise, cruel, and bloody—these are practically synonymous with wizards. But what are real wizards like? After coming into contact with the wizarding world, Angor came to a conclusion: Wizards are a group of people who use idealistic thinking to illuminate themselves, yet use a materialistic attitude to dialectically analyze the world. In other words, they are a group of unconventional scientists who trudge alone on the path of pursuing truth with a rigorous attitude. Multiple worlds, endlessly overlapping. Intelligent beings, guided by some unseen force, have forged their own paths of civilization. The wizarding world, with its unique cultivation civilization, spans countless planes. Even with the Wizarding World's immense power, the true nature of the universe and the mysteries of dimensions remain unfathomable. Until, a traveler from across the multiverse visited this world. (The traveler is not the protagonist, not the protagonist, not the protagonist—I'm saying it three times because it's important!)

His ideal life is to get by in peace, renting out a modest home and making enough to live on without ever getting rich. At least, that was the plan before a bunch of lunatic creatures moved into his house. A remote, dilapidated mansion, a bunch of abnormal nonhuman creatures, and an employment contract from “the gods.” Put those three things together, and Hao Ren becomes the busiest landlord and most capable babysitter in the world. And so begins 101Votes6.1MRecs2.6MFans

Curator note

Hao Ren, true to his name, is a good person whose ideal is to live a peaceful life as a landlord who is neither poor nor rich—at least that's how it was before a bunch of crazy creatures moved into his house. A secluded, dilapidated house, a bunch of somewhat abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from a "god"—these three elements combined make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and most capable nanny in the world. Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."

Han Xiao, a veteran power leveler in Starsea, was thrown into the transmigration army by a mysterious force from the East. He was transformed into an NPC with a player panel and returned to the time before the open beta of Starsea. He resolutely chose the most difficult mechanical class. Warships lined up across the starry sea, star mechs soared like dragons, psionic cannons ravaged the heavens and earth, and an endless mechanical army quietly waited in their personal storage. One person is an entire legion! If it weren't for the players, this book would be a serious and proper isekai (another world) story... As NPCs, normal NPCs offer a full range of functions to players... Issuing quests? Adjusting affinity? Teaching skills? Wait a minute, I recognize all these players. Well, the real world has also returned to what it was ten years ago. Group 2: 157302881 Group 3: 884339155 VIP Group: 547599250 (Requires 10,000 follower points for administrator approval)

Curator note

Chen Xi looked at the soldier who had thrown a boulder weighing several hundred pounds away, speechless as he gazed at the heavens. Was this really the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? It seems illogical that Lü Bu single-handedly broke through an army of ten thousand. Zhao Zilong is truly possessed by the dragon spirit; he can cleave mountains with a single sword strike. Is this really a human? Dian Wei single-handedly protected Cao Cao as they fought their way out of the enemy camp, casually slaughtering thousands of enemy infantry and cavalry. His combat prowess was off the charts! Something's not right here, is it? Chen Xi casually picked up a goose feather fan and waved it, creating a strong wind. He sighed, "This is a myth, isn't it? Even I'm not normal." P. S.: Actually, this is a serious farming/development story...

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. It was like someone who had gotten used to playing the hell mode was suddenly thrown into the easy mode. This is absolutely amazing! But before that, he needs to solve a problem.
