Good novel to read for entertainment.

It's fun to read and the story pace is fast so you don't have time to get bored.

MC got the knowledge of 10 years into the future so he's a genius, doing shocking, impressing things under people eyes but it's not extreme so it's pleasant to read.

Definitely a novel I would recommend (which I did) and eager to read the next chapters.

Thank you translation team for the hard work!

The novel seems fine so far a hundred chapters or so in. It's not amazingk, it's not terrible. It's almost defiantly average. It's also not particularly obtuse or high brow which is why it's odd to see the comments full of really odd critiques from people who didn't grasp the things the novel explicitly laid out. Though I suppose it wouldn't be the novelupdates comment section if there weren't people being confidently wrong while confusing their personal preference for some kind of objective metric of value.

At least it's funny I... more>> suppose. Seeing people talking about the time dilation not making any sense and breaking your mind genuinely make me laugh at how palpable the irony was. The novel explicitly lays out how the temporal differences work, spoiler it has absolutely nothing to do with "time dilation". The MC is inserted into the cultivation worlds timeline at fixed points. He doesnt "jump" randomly sideways into its timeline. The same thing goes for the "Worlds Apocalypse Online" system. There's no "nerve gear" or anything like that because its an explicitly supernatural phenomena. Nobodys wondering where their VR helmet and long black trenchcoat is.

Needing to use supernatural powers to combat supernatural beings because modern technology doesnt work is a staple of fiction from West to East. It's honestly so tired a trope that categorising it as weird is laughable.

"But nobody ever mentions bringing advanced technology to the xianxia world. So what's the point of having a sci-fi world? Why bother writing about modern tech, spaceships, mecha, or random sci-fi jargon thrown around in the first 30 chapters??!"

Yes nobody every mentions bringing technology, the majority of which we are shown relies on a technological infrastructure the cultivation world doesn't have or which is strictly inferior to their native tech with them. How odd. Leaving aside the question of how they'd transport it. The reason for writing up the modern section is because half the story takes place there and its tech is relevant to its setting.

"Did nobody think that modern tech has at least several supportive functions that might help? Communication tools? Satellites to chart maps and detect troop movements? " They explicitly use it for this in the modern world. But honestly you're angry that they didnt use satellites and telecommunication in the cultivation world? I'm sure phones would work great with no telecommunications infrastructure and leaving aside the question of space even exists in that dimension, how do you propose they get the satellites up there? And when all that is sorted they have to train people to use technology that is inferior to what they can do themselves. You literally "see" soldiers detecting troops and making maps with their minds.

The difference between technology and cultivation isn't "poorly balanced". It's meant to be a contrast to highlight the differences between the two worlds and the supremacy of cultivation. Look you obviously don't have to like the novel. But if you're going to critique it maybe it would behoove you to at least understand what you have read and not complain things that were explicitly explained werent explained at all? In the same vein maybe think for a second or two about your suggested alternatives to make sure they dont fall apart under cursory inspection. <<less

The main issue with ANY chinese novel is on hand again.

Even if MC comes back from future, knows all the sh*t that he never experienced before and knows who will be strong beforehand. He will use all exploits and outperform everyone from is former lifetime and yet... somehow everyone is allways 1 or 2 steps ahead,... somehow... really. somehow..

Is this a Wuxia, or a game leveling system series? It does not do well in the distinction.

Felt that the change in time events early on was interesting, but that basically eroded away the future knowledge events of the MC, making that knowledge obsolete. This feels all over the place, and the blurb seems to want to bring you into a mystery to keep you interested, to which I eventually wasn't.

Well, I got mixed feelings about this novel.

The good thing about this novel is that it's unpredictable. Like when the MC got something and the author describe it as powerful, and you start predict that this and that will happened, don't bother, it will not happened. The author will somehow pull new information or event that make your prediction just now totally null and void.

While the bad things about this novel is that the romance are so bad. So bad that they should not ever exist at all. Female fall... more>> in love with the MC for no reason at all. MC got harem and unpredictably, the harem can somehow got power up too. Well, the power up one is good, unpredictable. But the author pull it so many times that it's kinda frustrating you know, but still in a good way.

Another bad thing is that the characters doesn't really feel alive. I mean other characters, the female one. The MC is good enough.

So now I wonder whether to just keep reading this or drop it. <<less

The novel is really not bad, the story and development is good however

... more>>
Spoiler

the constant time travelling back and forth really does your head in, I've lost count of how many times I had to go back and reread to figure out what had happened and even then it does not make any sense. For eg, he stuck in bad situation with a guy (forgot his name) who said he has like 750 tries to change time and if he fks up he will dies and come back which of course uses a try, so anyways went back in time for a few days then met a turtle who then took him back in time for 10000 years and then you would think timeception be over there? Nah fam he jumps back and forth in time IN THAT 10000 years because there are time phantoms that allow him to do so, meanwhile big ass turtle outside be wondering wtf you gone too and that other guy in the prison stuck there thinking wtf you gone too.

[collapse]

If you are wanting to kill time (hahaha) and have a big brain that can condense constant new information then this may be the novel for you, I dont but I have grinded through it like a second job because I still got some weird enjoyment out of it. <<less

I like this novel. It's not the best, but it hits all the right spots for me. The beginning is basically your generic return to past novel, but after about 200 chapters, the author starts to really get into stride, and it becomes a pretty epic adventure. It's not perfect, and there are a lot of annoying gripes, but it's better than the vast majority of Xianxia novels out there

Tiring. That's all I can say about this novel.

... more>>
Spoiler

We have a guy who went back in time. Ok. He pierced the heart of the demon king before he did. Ok. He went back right before he was tricked into doing something s*upid. Ok. There are mechs, divine abilities, martial artists and children of heaven. What? The 'nobles' (or the few that have been shown) are a bunch of prideful idiots who keep going after the MC for reasons that tire you out because they're so cliché (like stay away from my daughter, your pedigrees are different or I want that, give it and perhaps you can live.)

Honestly after a certain point it's just torture and some of the writing makes you cringe so hard.

'Anna seeing that he couldn't speak, took a glance at him.

His eyes are a beautiful amber color, his eyelashes very long, every time he pulls the bowstring, his eyes would always gently lit up, showing a sense of focus and consciousness.

When he mixes alcohol, his eyes show a deep mist, as if he's in another world altogether.

He's wearing a white T-shirt, regular pants and sports shoes, simple as simple can be.

But this person who's "simple as simple can be", as he walked out from the bar, defeated dozens of Martial artists and 2 Mobile Mech in a matter of seconds.

Some people need fancy clothing to be regal, but he doesn't.

He himself is a King.'

A admittedly played out genre with good ideas executed horribly along with the type of cringy 'the MC is so great' writing that did not help this story.

Pros
The story is interesting
There are a lot of chapters

It gets 2 chapters a day translated

The author knows how to keep readers engaged

... more>> Cons

The author doesn't like to think ahead (there are a lot of instances of changing minor details to make the writing easier / he didn't like the idea so he scrapped it and just changed it.)

Some of the characters are flat and uninteresting (ie one of the main girls)

It's kinda wacky and jumps around sometimes the author just decides hes bored of writing about the current plot and jumps to a completely different thing (the progression is weird doesn't go A->B->C / the flow is kinda awkward)

Overall it would be a really solid fantasy novel if the author decided to rewrite it keeping the same plot but fixing some of the holes. Nonetheless it's still really interesting to read and kept me engaged. Try it out you might like it or you could be bothered by the quirks. :/ <<less

The novel started out really strong but went downhill fast. Power levels reach unreliable levels so you are constantly unsure what to make of things. Plot holes crop up everywhere to force a sense of mystery (for example, the dead keep insisting they can’t say what happened in hell because an insanely powerful enemy will detect it but when the main character gets there and learns what happened, it wasn’t a big deal). There’s a parade of s*upid villains that are arrogant even when it will obviously cause their death.... more>> The story changes from changing history using knowledge and intelligence to pulling luck out of nowhere to resolve everything. <<less

First things first.

This novel is not bad. It has interesting plot and characters are also not bad (Exept the nobles). The biggest problem for me is that it is too much of everything. I expected when I started reading it that it is a Sci-Fi novel with cultivation on the side but NO. It is again f-ing cultuvation with the start a little bit Sci-fi. Again technology is not usefull against cultivators??? That is pretty bullshit.

Sorry for that but it is what I think. This novel is not that bad... more>> if you at the start expect cultivation novel but if you like Sci-Fi then you rather not read this. <<less

The story is great, maybe at the first hundred chapter some people will say that the world building is ridiculous but please you need to read the novel till the end (of course the novel is still ongoing when I write this review. The story so far is great, the world building also great because what you think is nonsenscial actually have a reason for it. At some point it will be revealed. So please keep reading it.

The power system keep changing with new term when MC move from Scattered... more>> World (original world) to 900 million world layers where each layers have trillion world. The scattered layers can be called as Fallen Zones. Originally in Remote Ancient Age after Remote Ancient Human (The First Human Race, modern human is the descendand of The First Human race like High Elf and Elf, High Human and Human) left the world and hide inside Gate of World, the universe have 9, 9 billion Layers but 9 billion layers already destroyed by Apocalypse. You need to know that the Apocalypse outside the Gate of World is NOT the real Apocalypse. It's just fragment of it. But it already ridiculously so powerful that it can destroyed 9 billion layers with each one of it have trillion worlds. There is Six Path World or Samsara World where the Samsara World outside the Gate of World also NOT the real samsara world, but according to the Soul Whistler, Spiritual God and Demon Dragon (now become Abbsysal Dragon and slaughtered by Gu Qingshan) it has the power to save the world and change the destiny of 900 million world layers. The fake samsara world was created by Spiritual God (not the real God, just tool or puppet created by Human of Remote Ancient Age), but Soul Whistler destroyed it because he afraid that the power of Samsara can destroyed him in the future but actually what he afraid the most are the REAL apocalypse, he is one of few people or creature who survive from REAL Apocalypse in Myriad Beasts Cave and Great Abbys World where Myriad Beast resides (Myriad Beast World is on of Samsara World that fuse 99% fragment of Six Path that destroyed by Soul Whistler). There is also Inner World where there is biggest all world traitor the Empress Renedora or something. Inner World is currently the most mysterious world in story that I know (currently I'm reading chapter 1284).

The power system of each world of different because each world have different proffesion, that's why the Tower of Knowledge created by Remote Ancient Human gather all the information about the profession from 900 million world layers. Such as techonological world that have gunner, cyber swordsman, mecha fighter and etc. Cultivation World that have Swordsman, Blademaster, Formation User and etc.

About Gu Qingshan woman: there is Hallmaster of Destiny Su Xu'er (now maybe God of Destiny? Dunno, but what I'm sure is that she has the bloodline of empire of Inner World), The Death God Anna, Impartial Goddess (she now have her own body that she created with her technological system), Abbysal Spider Lin, Ning Yuechen the Cultivation World Saintess, Laura? (dunno but looks like MC still view her as his own daughter or sister), Sacred Saintess from 10.000 years ago but looks like she want to steal MC Dance of Forgiveness skill because before she got curse the Dance of Forgiveness owner actually decided to be her, Bai Hua Fairy? (dunno but I hope that she will know what MC did for her in Remote Ancient Age, MC is the one who tell her that her name is Xie Daoling), Shanhai Qixia the Sect Master of Myriad Beasts World (dunno but there is some emotional dependence to MC, btw she is the first woman who tear MC clothes till he bare chested).

This is what I read currently.

Spoiler

In chapter 1275+ Gu Qingshan need to prevent the outbreak of Apocalypse in Myriad Beasts Cave and Abbys Great Cave. In order to do so he gather his other self from parallel world.

Our Gu Qingshan, the strongest: Dragon Slaughterer of Remote Ancient Age, the enemy of God of Chaos, Underworld Ghost King, Holder of Heaven and Earth, Allies of Eternal Abyss, Conviction's Demon King and Little Angel, The Men with the Best Kissing Skills, Experienced Performances Artist, The Cat King, Six Worlds Mountain God, Void War God (2/5 in progress to kill other Space Beasts)

All Parallel World/Alternate Universe version of Gu Qingshan:

1. Asura King Gu Kingshan: Chaos Gods, Lord of Chaos War, Asura King, Proxy, Lone Wolf of Death, Slaughter God, The Celebrated Savior, Inner World Heroic Spirit Shelter, His partner or wife (gf) is Zhi Luo (Asura Queen) but she died when saving Asura King and reincarnated in River of Forgetfullnesss with no memory of Gu Qingshan so he decided to be the Asura King and recover her memory. In his world Laura the Bramble Queen is controlled by Trieste, so our Gu Qingshan told him (Asura King Gu Qingshan) to save parallel world Laura because she is so poor.

2. Salted Fish Gu Qingshan: Salted Fish Order, his mission is to be a salted fish (lazy bum), When he completed the mission he will facing Apocalypse Illusion that he surely die from so death mean nothing to him, Incarnation of Element Absorbing Dragon. Basically he can absorbed all element in air and convert it to salted fish (litteraly) and eat it to gain elemental power, of course he can't eat to much.

3. Myriad World Sword Saint Gu Qingshan: Myriad World Sword Saint, have one disciple called Hai Lan who have mystical power of phonology, World Apocalypse Online: Demon King's Order, his swordmanship level is same as our Gu Qingshan, has a child?

4. Baby Sitter Gu Qingshan: has four wife (Su Xu'er, Anna, Ning Yuechen, Lin) where all of his wife are busy to play card, he is frustrated for so long so he agreed to save our Gu Qingshan Myriad Beasts and Abbys Great Cave (this cave connected to other parallel world).

5. Blue Grass Palace Gu Qingshan: his master, senior brother and junior sister know about the existence of parallel world; his master Bai Hua Fairy decided to join the team to save our Gu Qingshan Myriad Beasts Cave and Abbys Great Grave.

Our Gu Qingshan went from one universe to another universe to meet his other self to save his universe. Until he arrived at 29th parallel world where this world Gu Qingshan already dead inside a tomb ? but Bai Hua Fairy from 5th universe know the this world Gu Qingshan is not dead but hiding from world.

29. Destiny Maker Gu Qingshan: this world Gu Qungshan abandoned Order and Chaos camp in return he gained the Fruit of Destiny Traces power (RAW), basically what he write, as long as it meets several conditions required by destiny, it will definitely be realized. Our world Gu Qingshan want him to write "The rescuers Gu Qingshan from Parallel World successfully prevented numerous outbreaks of Apocalypse in Myriad Beasts Cave and Abyss Great Grave". In return the Book of Destiny said that he need to gather 75 Gu Qingshan from another parallel world.

So our Gu Qingshan continue to gather other Gu Qingshan until he reached 39th parallel world where Iron Fist Barry (Ba Li) and Space Master Kitty (Xiao Miao or Little Cat) decide to join the quest to prevent the outbreak of Apocalypse. Ye Feili want to join too but alas he is late.

In the 45th world, Ye Feili and Zhang Yinghao want to join the team. Gu Qingshan agreed with them.

In the 51th world, Lin join the team.

In the end all 74 Gu Qingshan went to Asura King world where he fought a war against Trieste to save Laura. When Trieste summoned Soul Whistler to fight Asura King Gu Qingshan, all 74 Gu Qingshan arrived at the battlefield... In the end Soul Whistler afraid and stop the war. Poor Soul Whistler ?.

Another recetly picked up novel by me. There is that silly "going back in time" plot, but its very quickly disturbed by stuff going differently and in much bigger scale so his going back in time is nice and helfull but it does not solve much actualy, after MC changes just few events story moves almost completly from his previous life.
MC has "cheat" system helping him sometime working as plot armor sometimes used as tool to progess story or add on some mystique to it. Power system did needed... more>> some getting used to, but I ultimately like it there are levels/cultivation realms but there is many exotic powers/ power systems and there is lot rock paper scizors effects that makes it seamless that MC is always fighting above his level.
So storry is pretty beliveable, MC has harrem going on but its not obnoxious, so far girls simply like him and top 2 are kind of competing but since they gone on their own journeys and were separated its not bothersome. <<less

So I'm on Ch656 now and what I can conclude is that this novel is great. When reading this novel there are parts where I can't wait to read it and almost want to settle for MTL, and there are parts where I don't really care even if I saw new updates, what's important is that I feel excited for the chapters for the climax of most arcs, and I don't think the quality will be dropping anytime soon.

I enjoyed it for the first 400 chapter.

Like any other review out there said, the MC is likeable and actually used his brain. So far, everything that MC think 100% what his enemy think. From it you can see that MC really have a brain OR his enemy is just that s*upid.

But, it's becoming a downfall for me. It's becoming more boring after I keep read it. Every chapter has it cliff. You won't be able to rest for a day and keep thinking to read another chapter. It also... more>> same for me. I got hooked and keep reading until I feel it becoming more ridiculous.

I mean, my expectation for this novel is a game genre with a grand goal of killing the demon god right? So, with that thinking I keep reading it. But, what I got was cultivation novel just like the other novel out there. What I dislike about cultivation is the amount of time you need to spent and a never-ending-repeated-problem that keep appearing without a break. TBH, there isn't a single cultivation novel out there that I've ever finished. The outcome always to dropped it in the middle. Its not because cultivation novel not my cup of tea. But rather the story it self that can't keep me read it until the end.

I recommend you to read it until at least 400-500 chapter. I lost the feeling after reading past 500 chapter and skipping the chapter until to the recent update and still didn't got the feeling again. But, if you're not like me and still have the feeling to continue then it's fine.

Overall decent cultivation novel. So far the best one that can hook me till 500 chapter. I read it for almost three days with sleep time for 3 hours a day just for this novel. Unfortunately not my thing. <<less

I rarely write reviews but this novel seems to have been down voted for silly reasons.

It's story is good so far and the world building is like nothing I have seen before, there is a lot of different elements mixed thst blend together fairly well.

It's not perfect but nothing ever is I recommend reading the first 100 chapters and seeing if you like it.

(I gave up. Look to last edit.)

The story is interesting and the translation is very good, so you wont have many troubles reading it.

... more>> But it seems cliche and too fast. Like he hasn't had a good rest when he fought a hard and almost impossible battle and wins but has to battle another impossible battle/mission but still wins without a good rest.

I don't really like that it's a harem. But I was hoping at least that Su Xue Er wouldn't be the first female that goes in his harem. I don't know why, but she angers me.

I was also hoping Anna Medici would at least be the first one.

I'm not sure which one or if another women will be his first women, but how the story is going it seems to be going to Su Xue Er being his first women/girlfriend in the harem.

While typing this comment and went ahead on reading, well.... another thing that kinds of angers me, she tries to help him and protect him by forcefully stopping him from danger but it just causes more trouble for him. It would been better to been upfront to him and face the danger together then alone.

New Edit: (Spoilers probably)

Spoiler

After reading up to chapter 529, I'm just hoping that he focus more on his two original worlds, because his own would is in bad state and does need his help. Demis and other beings are trying to take over now, after all his hard work of saving it, but can't stay long before being brought back to a super far planet. There is no rest for the Main character too, which is worrying.

Last edit:

I decided to leave and come back to see if I would be able to read it again. I just can't anymore. So my rating will go down too. I'm actually surprised I even got this far, I most likely read this with a read it but skip things I hate or don't' understand. <<less
