As the Clan Leader, I Forge the Forbidden Clan of the Myriad Realms

Gu Tianyang transmigrates into a perilous new life as the clan leader of the Gu family, one of the four great houses in Qingyun City of the Great Qian Dynasty. One month prior, the previous patriarch, Gu Qingshan, vanished without a trace deep within the Qingyun Mountains, leaving behind a power vacuum that has stirred a storm of greed. The Wang, Li, and Zhao families, alongside the city lord’s mansion, now circle like wolves, eager to carve up the Gu family now that its strongest pillar has fallen. Yet the external threats are only half the crisis. Gu Tianyang discovers that his predecessor, desperate to break the deadlock, forcefully attempted a breakthrough in cultivation—and succumbed to a qi deviation. His meridians are now riddled with cracks, his cultivation utterly destroyed, leaving him little better than a mortal. If this truth ever leaks, the combined predators will descend in an instant, and the thousands of souls under the Gu name will face complete annihilation. Just as despair threatens to consume him, a mysterious chime rings in his mind. In the depths of hopelessness, the system descends with overwhelming force. From that moment onward, the Gu family embarks on a path unlike any other. Years later, deep within the primordial chaos, Gu Tianyang sits upon the family’s exalted dais, radiating a majestic might that dims even the chaos itself—for the Gu family has become the forbidden clan that all realms dare not provoke.
