Life in the Dustlands is unforgiving, governed by the iron-fisted rule of an empire that is emboldened in power and greed. However, through a tradition called the Horkos and the people’s wavering will to fight, they maintain the control of all life in the palms of their hands with promised hope for a better life. For the past 14 years, every month, a randomly chosen number of citizens are given a choice, where a life of luxury awaits them inside the empire’s walls.

As the final dragon lay defeated, Aaran stared at the sky while the rest celebrated. [Awaiting the gods’ response...] He clenched his fists, his heart pounding. A shred of hope flickered in his eyes, only to be extinguished like always. [The attained outcome was deemed unsatisfactory.] Aaran had seen the message for the twentieth time.

【Exhilarating】【New Ultimate Path Plus Points】【Dry Humor】 The world plummets; who shall uphold the heavens? Demons spawn from earth and sky, the Taoist stands valiant and resolute. I am Yi Chen, 'Chen' as in dust, styled Yi Chengzi, eighteen years old, fearful of violent evil spirits, fond of making money. With a cold heart and ruthless hands, he transmigrated to a bizarre world where goblins and malevolent spirits dwell, becoming the eldest senior brother of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and as his master lay dying, he entrusted Yi Chengzi with the duty to uphold the path of benevolence and righteousness, to take good care of his younger Taoist brothers; he promised he would. However, his understanding of the path of benevolence and righteousness differed slightly from that of his master. What is benevolence? Slicing evil men and ghosts in half is benevolence. What is righteousness? Smashing the heads of evil men and ghosts into their chests completes righteousness. After his master's death, unable to awaken 'spiritual essence' for cultivation, he set upon an unorthodox path of cultivation with the help of the Golden Finger. Facing the wolves eager for a fight after his master's demise, he struck with heavy fists, understanding the true essence of righteousness. Confronting the malevolent spirits that stood in his way, he naturally reformed them with the iron fists of love. He slew demons, exorcised evil, and tested his sword against various spiritual cultivators, enjoying the landscapes of the world. When he reached the summit and looked around, he was shocked to find that demons were but minor afflictions and that this land and sky were falling... A millennium-long scheme, an eternal enigma, slowly unveiled itself. Strange, it has arrived, and it does not die or perish. Witnessing this scene, Yi Chen laughed. Even the malevolent dogs passing by his Taoist abode had to endure a couple of slaps; how dare someone be so disrespectful to him? Yi Taoist stomped one foot and soared into the heavens! The onlookers exclaimed in shock, "Taoist, stop fighting, the great 'Dao' is nearly worn away!"

Home Series Benefits Academy Ancient Legends System and Superpowers Edit In the vast expanse of the multiverse, where celestial realms rise and fall like passing clouds, an unfathomable event shakes the foundation of existence. A man from modern Earth unexpectedly transmigrates—not as a mighty cultivator, not as a supreme dragon-blooded emperor, but as the very core of the Heavenly Dao System itself. His new name? Bu Kedian (必可殿) — "Inevitable." But there’s a problem. Without a host, he cannot manifest his true power, let alone ascend to become the ultimate Heavenly Dao of the multiverse. Stuck as a self-aware, sarcastic Dao system, he must guide a worthy cultivator to supremacy. Only then can he fully integrate with reality, rewrite the laws of existence, and ensure that all things—even fate itself—bow before his will. Enter his chosen host: Wo Kedian (我可殿) — "I Am Inevitable Indeed." A rogue cultivator with zero patience, insane luck, and a fist that even the heavens fear, Wo Kedian stumbles upon the system while running from a thousand angry sect disciples (who may or may not have lost their sacred treasures to his accidental borrowing). Together, they must navigate treacherous cultivation realms, outwit scheming immortals, battle ancient evils, and unlock forbidden secrets that were never meant to be discovered. But as Bu Kedian guides Wo Kedian to godhood, he realizes a terrifying truth: something is watching. An unseen force lurks beyond the Heavenly Dao, twisting fate, and threatening to destroy everything before he can complete his mission. Now, both of them must evolve beyond the limits of cultivation itself. One as the Ultimate Heavenly Dao. The other as the First Mortal to Challenge Fate Itself. Fists will fly. Dao will shatter. Comedy will ensue. And in the end... The multiverse will never be the same again. Read less
