shattering the facade

Dreams are… a reality that only those who are capable can speak about. This was an era marked by the births of geniuses! This was an era where heroes could be found everywhere! The fierce conflict between the aristocrats and the civilians, the open and veiled battles between the Federation and the Empire, the restlessly lurking extraterrestrials… When the principles of truth were within the range of battleship cannons, when order had no place in this world… Mu Fan, with the mysterious intelligent life “Black” and his unwavering will, fiercely tore open the magnificent Great Galaxy Era!

Is there a concept of endless triumph? Unstained authority? In this realm, no one can eternally occupy the pinnacle; everyone is susceptible to defeat. Myself included. I have eagerly awaited the arrival of someone capable of challenging and disproving my chosen path. Regrettably, that individual has yet to come. … False Martial Arts Path: Enhance oneself, surpass human limitations, endure bullets with mere flesh and blood. True Martial Arts Path: Commanding the Star Magnetic Field through life force, unleashing cosmic power from the human microcosm, traversing the star-laden heavens, shattering planets.

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Is there such a thing? Does everyone really have a purpose?" A frog snatches the dragonfly and eats. The frog hops into the water and swims. It's swimming passed fish and underwater plants. The frog passes a school of small fish and a bigger fish is then seen eating the majority. Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. What if that purpose was for only a second, would you think life is worth it?" Frog pops his head from the water and an owl snatches the frog. It takes it to a nearby tree and eats. Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Does it always mean sacrifice? Is it positive? Does one's purpose effect another's? Has anybody's death been in vain?" The owl flies towards its nest and feeds the baby owls its regurgitation. The tree begins to shake. Momma jumps back and begin to flap while the babies helplessly are unable to fly. Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Humans seem to be the most confused about that purpose. Some think 'tomorrow' is the purpose. Some of them work their lives away for more and better things, for themselves or their loved ones, some a deity, or… for humanity. Most animals know their purpose at birth but humans seem to make their own purpose throughout their lives. Sometimes that purpose changes, while the rest stay on the same path." A man wearing lumber jacket, boots, and jeans, watching the 15 ft tall tree crash down. Birds fly from nearby trees. As the man starts dragging the tree back home sweat dripping from his face it starts to snow lightly from the cloudless late summer sky. The man looks confused and looks around. Child's Voice: "But what would happen if humans were forced into a purpose?"

[BOYS LOVE] If there was a scale for magnanimity and naivety, Prince Calibri would be positioned first every time. As the crowned prince of his mysterious and secretive sect, he believed it was his duty to become the next Grandmaster of all the Cultivation clans to protect his people. Needless to say, every other young Cultivator of the Living Realm were after the same position of power even if it wasn't for the same reason, including Zhang Haochen; a quiet, handsome, unproblematic and extremely skilled young man with an unfortunate desire for his father's validation. Upon their arrival at the Cultivation school, it became apparent that not only did Calibri far outweigh them all(both men and women) in the department of looks, but also in his level of Cultivation! But how? How did he use all those lost Cultivation techniques? Why did he disappear all the time? Why in the world was Zhang Haochen (the man everyone wanted the attention of) so attached and fond of that 'PRINCESS' from day one? In fact, why did Zhang Haochen use his vocal chords in such abundance when it came to him? In a flurry of events, the time comes for the next Grandmaster to be chosen, but before Calibri has the chance to seize the title, he is betrayed by his closest companion, accused of a crime he did not commit and banished to the dark dormain of the Underworld... Years later, Calibri finds himself unwillingly forced to return to the Living Realm by the very person who betrayed him in the first place! He can't escape, so there's no choice to remain with that handsome traitor who's on a mission of his own: 1) Get Calibri's soul back 2) Make everyone who hurt Calibri suffer 3) Get Calibri to fall in love with him once again. The mission wouldn't have been that hard if Calibri, Heaven, the Living Realm and the Underworld were against it. But alas, these conditions existed, and he had no choice but to overcome them if he wanted to ever see Calibri smile at him again, and not scream bloody murder every time he held him close. Yes, Zhang Haochen had a lot of atoning to do. Can he do it? Will Calibri forgive him? Why did he betray him? Read on to uncover the mysteries, and find out if their love can really conquer the odds!

Born into a small cultivation clan with a five-element spirit root, Zhang Huaijin should have lived and died in obscurity. He had other plans. A mysterious pearl. A soul-refining diagram. Two treasures that turned the lowest of roots into something heaven-defying. Bottlenecks? Shattered. Limits? None. The immortal path stretches endlessly before him and Zhang Huaijin intends to walk every inch of it.

In the grand, unforgiving world of Viraatkshetra—a realm governed by the iron whims of Devas (gods) and Asuras (demons)—all life follows a preordained path. Mortals are but pawns in a cosmic game, their destinies woven into a celestial tapestry by forces beyond their comprehension. The grandest of these predestined events is the War of the Crimson Twilight, an apocalyptic conflict that will reshape the heavens and the earth, for which entire generations are born to serve as fodder. Amrit, a soul from modern-day Earth, is reincarnated into this world not as a prophesied hero, but as the third prince of a minor kingdom, a boy cursed with a frail body and shattered meridians, destined to be one of the first casualties of the coming war. His life is a quiet tragedy, a footnote in a blood-soaked epic. As he lies on his deathbed, consumed by a fever that his new world's divine medicine cannot cure, his despair and the unique nature of his transmigrated soul trigger an awakening—a system beyond the understanding of gods themselves. He gains the [Infinite Crit System], a god-defying power that can apply a random, multiplicative "critical hit" to any action he performs. A single breathing exercise can yield a century's worth of cultivation. A glance at a sword technique can grant him the insight of a grandmaster. A moment of thought can untangle the profound mysteries of the Dao. Armed with this unprecedented ability, Amrit's path diverges violently from the one fate has written for him. He begins a journey not just of survival, but of rebellion. He will cultivate forbidden techniques, forge impossible weapons, and gather allies from the forgotten corners of the world—those who, like him, have been deemed disposable by destiny. His journey will lead him from the dusty training yards of his forgotten kingdom to the celestial battlefields of gods, from uncovering the dark secrets behind his reincarnation to challenging the very beings who weave the threads of fate. Shattering the Celestial Loom is an epic of defiance. It explores themes of determinism versus free will, the nature of power, and the courage required to tear down a gilded cage, even if that cage is the entire universe. Amrit must not only grow stronger than the heroes and villains of his age; he must become a force capable of breaking the fundamental laws of reality, facing cosmic entities who view his existence as a glitch in their perfect creation. His ultimate goal is not just to survive, but to seize the celestial loom and grant true freedom to a world shackled by destiny. discord channel - https://discord.gg/8PVnHKcj

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant.

I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband.
