Humans are the spirit of all living beings, Gu* are the essence of heaven and earth.

With his three views* unrighteous, a demon is reborn.

Former days are but an old dream, an identical name is made anew.

The story of a time traveler who keeps on being reborn.

A unique world that nurtures, refines, and uses Gu.

Spring Autumn Cicada, Moonlight Gu, Liquor Worm, Great Qi Golden Light Worm, Slender Black Hair Gu, Hope Gu…

And a great demon of the world that acts as his heart pleases!

A story of a villain, Fang Yuan who was reborn 500 years into the past with the Spring Autumn Cicada he painstakingly refined. With his profound wisdom, battle and life experiences, he seeks to overcome his foes with skill and wit! Ruthless and amoral, he has no need to hold back as he pursues his ultimate goals. In a world of cruelty where one cultivates using Gu – magical creatures of the world – Fang Yuan must rise up above all with his own power.

Note :

Gu are legendary venomous insects, often used in black magic practices. They can take on the form of several insects, usually snakes, crickets, worms, etc.

Three views = one’s world view, values of worth and philosophy on life.

And not for weak minded people

to be honest this novel has left me wowed and baffled although there are some boring parts I'm a sucker for when the story speeds up and weeks pass by and it's just the protagonist growing in strength which made some of those parts more bearable this novel is the best wuxia novel I have ever read I'm a bit biased to the genre I don't like the cliche bullsh*t novels like chaotic sword god that novel was horrendous although I'm not much of a fan of the MCs dark... more>> do anything and everything to achieve a goal its a bit much but the 2 endings of the first 2 novels were so good I had to keep reading this is the only novel that got me so hyped for these volume endings I love the autumn cicada and the way the author uses it to just make readers go wow although I heard there aren't any great wow moments after the first 2 endings this endings make it worth it especially the 2nd one that one was dope and the connection to the legends of Ren Zu make it even better although legends of Ren Zu is slightly redundant at certain times the way the author used it for the 2nd ending was fire. I hope the novel for me gets better as I continue reading but if anyones looking to read this just read the first 200 chapters and if you like it keep going. I hope in the later chapters the author uses more wow moments that don't rely on the autumn cicada as eventually it will get lazy and I hope he makes more wow moments that are even better then the end of the 2nd volume <<less

I'll give this 4.5 stars: it's a very good novel. It does however get a little repetitive sometimes, the side characters sometimes are a little forgotten/underdeveloped.

Reverend Insanity starts out as the common reborn protagonist, trying to make use of their future knowledge to go further ahead. Plot twist: the MC is extremely calculative, and his actions are ONLY based on his gains. This, in itself, is a very refreshing twist from other light novels. The author actually makes a point that the MC is not good nor bad, but in... more>> the world of the powerful, everything is about gains and losses, including other people besides the MC.

The cultivation system: it is a mix of the usual "gets more powerful within tier, advances and breaks into another power-level tier" and "Gu". Now, the beauty of this Gu cultivation is that it starts very simple and concrete, and, over time, starts getting close to "Dao" (or "to comprehend the world"). Quite an interesting twist on the usual "I'm lacking cultivation comprehension to go from martial-saint level to martial-immortal level, lets sit here and comprehend the world until I can break through and forget about this". What the author also adds in between the machinations of the MC (and simply wins me over) are the chapters on "The Legends of Ren Zu". On those chapters he goes on about this supposed mythical story, and it gives a lot of flavor to the novel and backstory to the world.

Overall a very good read! <<less

What I love about this story is the way the plot progresses. This is a rare case of the world affects the MC while the MC affects the world. In later chapters, it is revealed that a major proportion of the plot is the result of other characters in the background. And some say it invalidates the success of the MC but I think on the contrary it validates certain aspects of what the MC was able to achieve. For example in a certain arc around chapter 600 when he... more>> could have used his trump card but decided not to.

All in all, Fang Yuan is trying to achieve his main goal, and will not be opposed to doing anything if he finds that it increases his chances to succeed. He is not evil for evil's sake, and he is not good for goodness sake.

I find the morality of the characters is largely influenced by the world they live in. Although the author would like you to believe otherwise, the world these Gu Masters live in is vastly different from ours, with very limited resources and which are very hard to acquire in certain aspects, which naturally leads to competition and the hypocrisy of the righteous path.

Even then its sometimes dealt in a good way. In general most righteous path people understand that most people in the demonic path aren't 'demonic' for the sake of mu*dering and bloodshed, rather due to circumstance. That is why they are sometimes willing to compromise.

Well, overall the story feels fluid, and the author seems to have thought about the plot, not just pulling bullsh*t out his ass, like most light novel authors do. <<less

One of the best novel I have read. To understand this novel everyone should first understand MC or should know how MC became demon cultivator in his past life. (Here demon cultivator is not referring to actual demon but to a person who is selfish, who doesn't follow rules of the organisation.)

These organisations are called righteous faction (there are demon faction also who kills humans for resources but most of them hides this point and try to be righteous on top) even when they are scheming. But as long... more>> as they follow rules and regulation in the open but break them in the dark they are righteous faction.

Second we should know this is survival of fittest world, unlike other wuxia/xianxia where strong is respected, here it is different. Mortals are considered ants and can be killed without any hesitation, clan wont punish you. Actually its very difficult to explain the world building of this novel in few sentences but please know its different. There are rules, schemes, survival of fittest etc., This applies to all not only to MC, to everyone in this novel from a mortal to clan leader.

If you people like TTNH or I am Supreme then you will like this novel because of MC's wits and acting.

There are so many thing I want to say but I am lazy to type, but know this unlike other novels you people will be on the edge with fear, anxiety because you people will be asking whether the MC will kill this person or spare him/her. If there are new encounter and the person is innocent you people will always fear what will MC do to them in future.

In this novel there are no young master going around picking fight with MC, they should just prey that MC doesn't go after them.

But whenever MC is killing someone know this everyone (MC/ other person / his faction) as their plots and schemes for MC so to move forward MC kills them. If the person is not scheming or plotting on MC then MC won't kill them. <<less

This novel is pretty good. Overall its a good read but the arcs became too tiresome for me at 3rd arc (when he went to another continent). Just got ready bored. This novel upto that point really is about just cultivation and improving himself, no absurdly strong mortal enemies, no romance, just plain cultivation to the top. If you are into it read this one.

i used to think that these type of novels are more like reality in a cultivation and would reallly like to read these types, but I... more>> guess this is one for me that should have stayed as a dream. <<less

for: (serli) OP??? I think you left it in a part where I found something very broken, I've already finished it and believe me, it's a good thing I'm afraid when someone gets it because the author loves to screw it up 100 times but I've lost count of all the times he lost everything so he fought for it. Obtain and in the case of the evil I cannot argue with you, what I can tell you is that there are chapters that make you change the whole way... more>> in which you see the protagonist by telling you that he made me cry you stop seeing him as the bad guy that he is, but he also shows you his ideals and a way of seeing things that really surprises you. And I'm from the group that disliked the protagonist.

It can also be a matter of taste if you read it completely, if it is, ignore me 👍 <<less

The novel gets too sinister for my taste. The beginning is great, MC is cold-blooded and clever, and also I like his ingenuity. But after a while, he becomes too OP and we see fewer of those qualities used, and he becomes a villain through and through. I can't give a low score since OP development is expected at some point. I guess an OP villain is not my cup of tea.

One of the novels that does what it sets out to do perfectly the novel cunningness makes you think about future events and such, the world building and carefully thought up characters and events truly make this one of the best novels

Btw don't listen to these people who stopped before 200-500 these chapters are just setting up for big things later.

Overall 9.7/10

I really like this book. The MC grows and learns from his mistakes but never changes his core character. Sometimes we have a favorite color and the years passes and we have a new favorite color but if you have a very little patience it would be extremely difficult to learn to have patience. The same with the MC, he learns from his mistakes but who he is essentially can’t changed even if his actions bring him trouble.
Spoiler

sometimes in the book he killed people that if he would’ve left alone it would save him sooooo much headaches, but he is essentially a very unforgiving (sometimes paranoid) and cautious person so to avoid any future loose ends he does kill them (and ends up upsetting powerful people that send people to track him down and deal with him. But 500 years of living experience and habits (not to mention his own core personality) can’t change in a few chapters.

A good novel with an MC that constantly strives for a single goal, and doesn't let anything get in the way. There are some annoying things later on like some time BS and repeated info, but overall it deserves a read for having a properly ruthless MC.

Reread edit:

Definitely more of a read through once kind of thing, so imo it would be best to pace yourself and try to make it to the last chapter. On a reread I noticed way more inconsistencies and such, so giving up at... more>> c638 since it'll never have a proper ending anyway due to CCP. Still a good novel, but don't count on a reread <<less

Reverend Insanity good side are the same as it's downside, the amount of detail and thought that go into everything. The reason that this makes the book good is fairly clear, it means that the plot makes and anything that happens is either something that makes sense given the current context or if is not will make sense when things in the past are taken into account or will make something in future chapters.

The downside to this is that it not only makes it so that the chapter can seem... more>> dragged out witch for some people is annoying it also means that there is alot to remember and take into account. <<less

I am not going to rate it because I have not finished reading it.

The story has a few puzzling parts.

The MC is a transmigrator, which is totally unnecessary. Because he seems to imply that he becomes ruthless because he is from Earth (education system fails because he isn't set to be a good guy despite receiving a moral education).

The MC can actually dies non stop because of a time skill that he had mastered. That means that he actually won't ever die and can keep going back in time to... more>> screw his enemies and he can always make the correct decisions.

He actually dies 5 times but revive every single time.

His enemies have no chance of ever winning him.

The MC tries to be low profile but he is 6 metres tall with eight arms. And yet he manages to maintain low profile.

Just enjoy the read of an evil MC and dont think too much. <<less
