Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Heaven and Earth serve as the guesthouse for all living things, with Time being the sojourner since time immemorial.
As with the difference between dreaming and awakening, the distinction between life and death is diverse and confused, and changing.
What awaits us beyond time, once we have transcended life and death, heaven and earth?
Xu Qing’s world sank into deathly silence after the descendence of “God”. Master cultivators brought the human race and escaped the continent, and the remaining people struggled to survive. Every place that was met by “God’s” gaze had nearly all life forms wiped out.
Young Xu Qing was lucky enough to survive. But in a world where ferocious beasts roamed and infighting was rampant within the human race, it was difficult to survive.
“If cultivation doesn’t give me the power to fight against God, then I shall become God myself!”
This is a story of how a human teenager became a god, step by step, to survive

- Xu Qing's (MC) personality.
XQ isn't a reincarnated, old, wise character, or an awkward, transmigrated one who somehow adapts to the situations they are in way too quickly. Nor is he like IET's MCs, who are literally carbon copies of each other and super unrealistically mature for their age. He's also... more>>The novel sets a promising stage in a post-apocalyptic world where resources are scarce and survival is a constant struggle. However, as the narrative progresses, it transitions into a more generic Xianxia setting (after ~100 ch.), losing the unique flavor it initially offered. Plot and Pacing
The cultivation of the main character, XQ, unfolds at an alarmingly fast pace without sufficient justification. This rapid progression robs the story of tension and consequences, as challenges are effortlessly overcome and dangers lack real impact. Despite the initial premise of a world under the watchful eye of a hindering God, this element fades into obscurity without meaningful exploration or resolution. Moreover, the narrative lacks significant time-skips, resulting in a lack of development and believability in the characters' growth. Characterization
XQ's characterization presents a significant inconsistency. Despite the author's insistence on his humanity and purity, XQ consistently exhibits a dark and ruthless demeanor. This contradiction undermines the believability of his supposed kindness, making it challenging to fully invest in his character and the story. Furthermore, XQ's personality feels shallow and overshadowed by side characters who exhibit more depth and growth.
Later on, there is a treasure used by an enemy, having the effect of showing the person's true heart and punishing according to that, and when used on XQ, it shows a very bright light. What pure and kind heart? When all he does is kill / torture, it's not that you could say he's killing for justice, only doing that to bad people or defending himself. Revenge for him doesn't stop at the person causing it, and sometimes he kills everyone around those people, even from the first tens of chapters when he throws poison and makes the whole sect suffer for one person's actions. It is completely fine if he wanted to go for that kind of character, but that is just laughable how the author is forcing him to be such a pure and kind hearted person, full of humanity, when 99% his actions are the opposite of that. Not to mention that every chapter there's a character saying how baleful the aura around XQ is.
The romantic subplot feels forced and incongruent with XQ's character, further highlighting the inconsistencies in his personality. The author's attempt to develop romantic entanglements lacks nuance and authenticity, detracting from the overall narrative coherence.
A 'Fairy' that is 100+ years old, hitting on a less than 20 years old kid, because he has a 'pure' heart, otherwise she is going to die if she doesn't find a partner to advance in cultivation with, while being assisted by the Captain and his Master, by sending letters under XQ's name, promising things to her, giving gifts using his name, all while this 'fairy' knows those letters aren't sent by XQ, pushing him into a situation he doesn't want to be in. Forcing this awkward romance that should simply not be done if it's going to be written this way. If you want to see a positive, at least there is no actual Harem. Instead, it's the typical MC aura making girls fall to their knees around him, giving resources repetitively to him for free.
Initially, the novel introduces intriguing concepts, such as Lovecraftian elements, boat-cultivation, which add a layer of uniqueness to the narrative. However, these elements are underutilized and eventually abandoned, resulting in missed opportunities for world-building and thematic exploration. What begins as a promising departure from the typical Xianxia tropes gradually regresses into familiarity, diminishing the novel's potential for innovation.
Additionally, another flaw is that throughout the story, the treatment of non-humans is devoid of almost any importance, and after a point, all conflicts and large battles involve humans against these non-humans, with little exploration of their perspectives or significance to the plot. Humans are consistently positioned as central figures of significance, while non-humans are to be killed wantonly / made s*aves under the guise of being allies.
Despite its flaws, the novel may appeal to newcomers to the genre seeking a relatively engaging read. However, for seasoned readers, its lack of originality and inconsistent execution may prove disappointing. While the narrative offers occasional moments of comedy and intrigue, they are overshadowed by its fundamental shortcomings. Ultimately, while the novel shows promise initially, it fails to capitalize on its unique premise, rendering it a mediocre addition to the genre.
