Chronicle of Heaven's Subjugation

Transmigrated into the body of a minor county magistrate on the borderlands of the Chu Kingdom, Xie Yunyan initially seeks only to survive the chaos of a turbulent era. However, he inadvertently unlocks the Ninth Path, a cultivation route distinct from the traditional eight known methods: the Sacred Bone of Humanity. This unique path eschews the refinement of magical power or the formation of a Golden Core, instead fueling its strength with the collective wishes of the common people and the fervor of their thoughts. As Xie Yunyan works to resolve local disputes, suppress banditry, and win the hearts of his constituents, he uncovers a shocking truth behind the widespread turmoil plaguing the six hundred provinces of the realm. The suffering of the masses is not mere collateral damage but a deliberate ingredient used by high-and-mighty immortal overlords to refine their elixirs of immortality. Enraged by this celestial injustice, Xie Yunyan rises against the established order. Harnessing the boundless will of billions of ordinary citizens, he embarks on a perilous journey to challenge the divine, pitting his mortal frame against the gods themselves and waging war against a heaven that has lost its way.
