His daddy, a grown man, is still so clingy to mommy. How disgraceful!

A million years ago, he had traversed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, braving countless mysterious Life Prohibition Zones, in search of a way to resurrect that foolish woman, but inadvertently learned one earth-shattering secret after another. Thereafter, he went through nine cycles of reincarnation, strategizing over the world, casting his net across the heavens, with the Myriad Realms as his board! In this life, he had returned from reincarnation, his Qi engulfing mountains and rivers, “It’s time to close the net...”

They begin to worship him.And gods, even fake ones, are dangerous.In a world of schemes, monsters, and ancient mysteries, Kael never asked to be a savior. But one step at a time, through love, lies, and war—he carves his throne from the bones of empires.In the end, only one will sit upon the world.###Before you dive in, here are some things you should know to better enjoy the story:1. The MC is not an all-knowing monster from Chapter 1Our main character is a teenager who transmigrated into a dangerous world. He’s not some ancient cultivator with 500 years of experience. At the start, he’s a bit unhinged (he kills someone in Chapter 1), but still grounded—more of an antihero than a villain.But this is a journey of corruption. As he faces the horrors of this world and gains power, his mindset begins to change—slowly, and then completely. By the time you're deep into the story, he’ll become the kind of villain others whisper about in fear.So no, he’s not your overpowered righteous MC. He’s dangerous, ambitious, and eventually terrifying.2. Yes, there’s romance—but NO, this is not a fast food haremLet’s be real:Day 1: Meet Girl ADay 2: Sleep with Girl ADay 3: Onto Girl BThat’s not happening here.This novel values slow burn, proper development, and emotional payoff. The MC does have multiple love interests, but every relationship is earned. Each girl has depth, motivations, and unique interactions with Kael. No one’s here just for fanservice. And yes—they each get proper screen time.If you’re here for emotional stakes, chemistry, and realistic progression: this one’s for you.3. The worldbuilding is deep and rich.High fantasy. Secret cults. Ancient orders. Political schemes. Forgotten islands. Brutal wars. It’s a lore-heavy universe built to explore.4. The power system is risky and unique.Getting stronger can literally drive you mad. But don’t worry—our MC finds ways to survive (and thrive).Also, each continent has its own power rules—some based on bloodlines, others on potions, rituals, spells or forbidden arts. So expect variety.5. Lots of action and crazy fights.From intense duels to massive battles, this story brings the chaos.6. Side characters matter.No “zombie” side characters here.They have their own stories, motives, and growth. They're not just props for the MC. Some might even surprise you.7. Yes, there are other transmigrators and regressors.But they appear later in the story—and when they do, things get wild.
