Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

After centuries of navigating the treacherous currents of the cultivation world, Jiang Cheng achieved the extraordinary—he built a sprawling, powerful family from nothing, relying on his mysterious panel to guide every step. But just as he stood on the precipice of breaking through to a higher realm, death claimed him, and he awoke not in the afterlife, but in a world wholly alien: a realm of wizards. Here, floating cities pierce the clouds, alchemical forges burn with arcane fire, war puppets march in silent legions, and interdimensional wars are fought over the secrets of extraordinary bloodlines. It is a mad, brilliant era, and every noble house and powerful family scrambles in the footsteps of wizards, all desperate to reach the fabled "Other Side of the Stars." Upon awakening, a familiar notification chimes: "Congratulations, you have inherited the system. Family information has been automatically updated!" But there is a grotesque twist to his second life. He has been resurrected not as a living man, but as the skeletal ancestor of his own new family—a pile of bones forced to guide his descendants from beyond the grave. As decades pass and the great powers of the wizarding world remain locked in their endless conquests within the depths of foreign planes, they fail to notice what stirs in the forgotten shadows. A family, once thought extinct for a thousand years, has quietly begun to rebuild. And its undead patriarch, armed with the knowledge of two worlds, is no longer content to simply survive—he intends to rise once more.
