A Good Day to Ascend

In an era defined by turmoil, demons and monsters roam unchecked while corrupt officials seize control of the government. The mortal realm suffers a devastating invasion from the Netherworld, as both humans and otherworldly entities unleash destruction upon the land. Wild gods, serving as enforcers for the Netherworld, ruthlessly oppress the common people, leaving them with no sanctuary or hope. Driven to his breaking point by this relentless cruelty, Xu Ying, a humble snake-catcher, rises in defiance. In his rebellion, he commits the ultimate transgression by slaying one of these tyrannical deities, while also executing a deeply incompetent court official who contributed to the suffering of the people. His actions shatter the fragile order between realms, marking him as a wanted criminal in both the human world and the Netherworld. Now hunted relentlessly by forces from two domains, Xu Ying is thrust into a desperate fight for survival. With nowhere left to turn, his harrowing flight begins, setting the stage for a perilous journey against impossible odds.
