Way of the Devil
Demons, devils, ghosts and monsters Plunge the mortals weak in horrors; Arms of gods and blades of devils, Shroud the world in untold evils. Lu Sheng was an ordinary civil servant in the modern world. After waking from a drunken stupor one day, he found himself trapped in a dangerous world where demons, ghosts and supernatural monsters terrorize the land. In this world, ordinary mortals live in dark fear and helplessness, without any means to fight against the supernatural. As Lu Sheng struggles desperately for survival, he stumbles upon a game mod he had designed for a mobile phone app in his previous life. It unexpectedly becomes his special ability, which enables him to instantly level up any skill he learns, albeit at a cost. Thus, Lu Sheng begins his journey, striving for power beyond the reach of a mortal as he treads the way of the Devil…
Human studs.
Or, one could say, human trees. It sounded like its name: treating humans as trees, planting them one by one and letting them grow by themselves, and then reaping the resulting fruit.
From the moment that Lu Sheng thought of this, he could faintly sense tiny threads of Qi rising upwards from everyone present.
This Qi was like a fog or smoke, and was extremely faint. If it weren't for his extreme sense for energy, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
Lu Sheng looked up. Everyone, including Cheng Kongzi, was giving off multiple threads of this strange Qi.
All these threads of Qi came together to form a faint little lake above their heads, flowing and turning.
"This is…!?" Lu Sheng stared at this tiny lake.
The transparent lake of Qi spanned across everyone's heads, rippling and flowing like a real, liquid lake.
"Now, imagine the rising sun, absorbing all the colors of light…" Cheng Kongzi raised his voice.
