In the struggles of everyday life, Cage was a typical homebody. He loved reading, admiring beautiful pictures, and writing novels in his spare time. His greatest wish was to find a gentle, caring, and hardworking girl. However, fate seemed to have little mercy for him—not only did it fail to grant his modest wish, but it also struck him with a bolt of lightning that transported him to an unknown planet, where he became the prince of a modest kingdom. This sudden change in status also altered his ambitions. Freed from worries about food and shelter, he decided to embrace a life of indulgence and decadence, living as a hedonistic prince until his soul could return to Earth to atone to his parents. Yet, history rarely follows the desires of men. What once seemed like a far-fetched dream became attainable, while the simplest of wishes faded beyond reach. And so, the extraordinary tale of Cage, the legendary king, began.

The story went a little different in the case of Qiangu Qitian, a young man hailing from Earth, carrying burdensome baggage in the form of regrets from the past life, thrown into an ancient universe-one which only the strong lived and prospered in. Qiangu Qitian could only vaguely remember the novel about cultivation that he read in his previous life, and his body was weak; it's tough for him to get accustomed to this perilous world. He thus forged in iron the Technique-an entirely new and unique refinement cultivation process, cell by cell, of his very being. Without any teacher or master to bring him through, Qiangu Qitian forged his way to eventually reach the top in this world's first big step in the hierarchy of cultivation: the Blood Forging Realm. Just as he came into his own with the surge of new strength, destiny had in store for him a cruel twist of events. While basking in the glory of this success, some mysterious, malevolent creature appeared, drawn to this achievement. This unknown force consumed the essence of a very rare and powerful physique Qiangu Qitian had awakened in such an innocent manner and left him to his death. His body was weak now, lifeless, thrown aside like some tool he no longer needed, to warn against cruelties of this world. But nature is full of its own rules, and fate is not so easy to tell. Qiangu Qitian went against all odds as his frail body was once again claimed by life forces. Stripped of the powers he struggled so hard to gain, with his awakened physique stolen and his essence sapped, on the brink of despair, he sat. But Qiangu Qitian was no ordinary soul. Qiangu Qitian was that young introverted but ambitious man who dared to disobey his father so he could pursue his dream. That resistance against the man who had given him life is what now burnt up his spirit like an all-consuming fire. If he could, in his eyes, square up with his father to pursue his ambitions, no god, no force of heaven, no unknown entity was ever again going to stop him from success. An indestructible will, burning in a restless heart, a determined soul to have back all that was taken from him and to surpass at least the one who snatched what was his from the very start. Led on by a wish for revenge and a search for identity, Qiangu Qitian embarks on an adventure at every turn of which draws him along a path curtained with mystery, with secrets to date forbidden techniques reveal to him, and most especially with unseen potentials within. While his body may be weak, his spirit burns brighter than ever. Refining the Cellular Tempering Technique to unimaginable heights, Qiangu Qitian rebuilds his cultivation anew, unleashing a potential that even his adversaries could never have foreseen. On his journey, he finds that strength is not a matter of power but of resilience, adaptability, and bravery in the face of a world that seems to want to bring one down. In a world full of sects fighting for supremacy, ancient clans guarding their legacies, and forces behind the scenes pulling on the strings of fate, Qiangu Qitian's journey takes on the meaning of not only survival but also redemption. He refused to be a victim of circumstance or a chess piece of someone else's game. His journey is a story of unyielding man's will who refuses to let his destiny get stolen.

Have you ever heard these phrases before. Never again will the waters become a flood. To us a child is born, to us a son is given. I can feel it in my bones. There is no passion to be found playing small. London bridge as fallen, the Queen is dead. Phrases so great that they can usher in a new era. Whether an era of peace, destruction, Chaos or love. A lot of people fear the start of a new era, but as you can see nothing bad as happen at the cost of these new beginnings and nothing is being expected to happen, because of the new generations and the changes in belief. except the fact that the first white man to be born was thrown out by his people resulting in the enslavement of black people for hundreds of years.
