From Death To Martial God
"If I had one more lifetime... just one more... I would return stronger. I would tear down the heavens themselves."
Joseph Arlington, a 29-year-old American dying of cancer, finds comfort in wuxia novels, especially the story of Wei Shen—a cultivator betrayed on his wedding night and killed by his sect. Before dying, Wei Shen vows revenge, and the celestial beast Tiangou sends him 500 years into the past to reclaim his strength.
After finishing the novel, Joseph learns his treatment has failed. With nothing left, he silently wishes to live in a world like the one he loved in fiction.
He dies with that wish in his heart.
Instead of fading away, Joseph awakens young, strong, and changed. He is now the reincarnated Wei Shen, his soul fused with the man he once admired. Two minds now walk one path.
Thrown into a world of cultivators, sects, and ancient secrets, Joseph joins the Sect of the Returning Soul, where death is seen as a step toward enlightenment. As he trains in a forbidden path of creation and destruction, memories of Wei Shen’s betrayal begin to surface. His identity starts to blur.
As his cultivation grows, Joseph realizes the past is changing. Enemies return, factions shift, and the truth behind Wei Shen’s fall is more complex than the novel ever revealed. A hidden force is manipulating events.
To survive, Joseph must master the Cycle of Reversion, unlock the legacy of the Wei Clan, and rise above revenge. Along the way, he will build bonds, battle rivals, and face the true meaning of justice.
But one thing is certain: when the heavens finally tremble beneath his feet, the world will know that from death... a Martial God has risen.
