This novel follows the cliche plot of an OP MC who was originally from earth, then became an OP cultivator within some larger universe, then reincarnates back on earth and goes about planning his ascendance to ever more OPness than before, while preventing tragedies that he was powerless to prevent previously. So, it's pretty paint by the numbers, but also ok to kill time with. The main noticeable feature of the novel is the way the MC consistently hides his abilities and give cryptic warnings that make him sound like an arrogant blowhard with no actual abilities, to lure people into underestimating him or trying to take advantage of him, then he turns around and claims they were arrogant know nothings when he finally reveals his prowess. His constant baiting of trouble, and the childish face-slapping games that the author portrays as him being the strong, silent type, is quite annoying and of course makes for plenty of predictable C-roll filler material. The world itself is utterly generic, and so far follows no rules-- the author introduces concepts in a slapdash manner as he feels necessary to keep the story developing. Of course there's the usual trope of thinking the Spiritual Qi on Earth is too weak for there to be powerful cultivators present, but as the MC grows in strength, appropriately strong enemies fall out of the wood-work for him to demonstrate his OPness. All in all, I'd say let tens of chapters build up and a time and binge them, to pass time. Otherwise there's nothing to be gained from this utterly generic novel.

Before you read this novel, there's a very important question you have to ask yourself, which is whether or not it's okay to kill people. If you read the first chapter of the novel you see that in his previous life he used to be the Immortal Venerable and the lord of the entire universe. You see, the lord of the universe is a kind of special position where only one person in the ENTIRE universe can take. So think for a bit, how do you think he became the lord of the universe? You done thinking? It kind of goes like this Chen Fan: I'm the lord of the universe. Some random planet: I disagree Chen Fan: Crush planet Some random galaxy: I disagree Chen Fan: Stomps on galaxy some random family: i disagree chen fan: annihilates family some random sect: i disagree chen fan: exterminates sect some random race: i disagree chen fan: race disappears some random old immortals: i disagree chen fan: kills immortals and repeat for about a few billion families, sects, races, planets, and galaxies. universe: i agree Now that you know what he was like in his previous life and he is reborn on earth what do you will happen? SPOILER ALERT: HE KILLS A LOT OF PEOPLE this guy kills a lot of people and if you don't like blood, do not read this book because there is a lot of blood in this book. I see 99% of the reviews are about how he is a murder and a big meanie who likes to kill people and is not a nice person. well no duh, if he was the lord of the universe in his previous life what do you think his personality is like. killing aside, this is actually one of the best novels. in persepctive, you know almost all novels here are actually translated on qidian and actually there are a lot more novels on qidian which are untranslated and this website probably holds less than 1 percent of the novels on qidian. this novel along with emperor's domination and library of heaven's path became the 3 big kings of qidian in 2017. like there are millions of novels on qidian and this one was in the top three, this just tells you how good it is. however, the problem with this novel is that in the beginning it's really slow and just like typical chinese garbage cultivation novels with lots of face slapping. but later on like chapter 100 and beyond the novels becomes really good, the author is really talented and really good at describing a world, and he integrates the novel with lots of history and the modern world so the reader can almost feel like their in the world. many past historical figures are actually incorporated in the novel and the author gives background on what makes some countries super powerful. also the cultivation system is extremely accuracte with each level having specfic powers that different them from the level below, unlike many other novels where the mc can just defeat people 20 levels higher than them. the main thing about this novel is just that the author is really good at describing scenes that readers can easily visualize. however if there's a problem about this novel is that the translation is almost horrible. i google translated the first chapter and compared it with this and i notices at least like 20 discrepences between the chapters. this is the same with almost all the chapters. the translator messes up almost every single cultivation term and there are many scenes that are totally portrayed incorrcetly, that i think this is obviously mtl and edited. if you're going to mtl, can you atleast use google translate because it is so much more accuracte than whatever mtl your using. if you feel like something feels weird it's 100% the translator not the authors fault and should read the google translate if a sentence feels weird which is like almost every other paragraph.

The comics really left out so much but all in all it's still a good read if you like these type of stuff The first read will get you hooked to these types of novel to the point that you'll crave these types of novels more and more so I'll recommend a few ones like this: Retuen to the Immortal World (Has comics but I haven't read the novel yet because I'm broke af), Strongest Abandoned Son (Is an interesting read once you like the characters but it gets somewhat... Soggy after a 700-800 chapters or so.), The Last Human (Not really the typical cultivator but the way they strengthen themselves is like cultivating *Sitting crosslegged with a breathing method*, the mc is knowledgeable too and not dumb unlike other mc's who get angered easily. Think of it as a Zombie Apocalypse X Cultivation type of manhua. My honest review on this is, it's good... If you just read this for the first time that is (I'm referring to the comics because it's already 120ch). But like other novels, this also had the following: Arrogant young masters, People who can't see Mt.Tai, People who look down on the fragile looking Mc, Enemies who think highly of themselves infront of the MC but gets subdued/killed by thr Mc, People who get surprised the Mc they thought of as a coward/weak beats a dozen people to a pulp, I could go on but it will look like I made an essay instead of a review. I like how the Mc is making people who has a very high status infront of normal citizens kneel before him and beg for mercy, unlike other Mc in novels (That I've read) that has no superiority at all when a person with high status provokes him All in all, it's a good read, especially for people that are losers who crave for an OP Mc to satisfy their lack of power. I rate this, a broken marriage/10. Why broken marriage you ask? Because of the freedom and happiness the male receives when they divorce, haha.

My Pick Up Artist System

"With this system, I'll become the world's greatest seducer! If it doesn't kill me first..." I was a nobody, a short fatty Otaku.
