Zhì Yuǎn was born without a clan, without a lineage, with nothing but a carving knife and the callused hands of a man who repairs what others discard. Then, on a forgotten peak, something entered his chest—and never left. It was not ordinary Qi. It was hunger. A Singularity that devours everything it touches, growing with every cycle of cultivation, distorting the very fabric of reality around it. He has no interest in harmony with the Dao. He only seeks to consume it. At his side stand his women—not trophies, not spoils of conquest, but the living foundation of his power. Each with her own Law, her own ambition, her own obsession with him. Together, they do not build an empire for the sake of justice. They build because ascension through the Three Thousand Worlds demands resources, and they will not ask permission to take them. The Heavenly Tribulations descend to destroy him. Zhì Yuǎn only sees food. ###This is a slow pacing novel! [CONTENT WARNING: This work is intended for an adult audience (18+).

Rain dripped from the Paris rooftops like the city itself was crying. Emo Marinette Dupain-Cheng walked with her hood pulled low, black sleeves hiding hands that shook from exhaustion. The streets were nearly empty—too late for tourists, too early for morning. This was the hour she preferred. No smiles to fake. No expectations to meet. Saving Paris was supposed to feel heroic. Tonight, it just felt heavy. Her earrings rested cold against her skin, a reminder of the mask she wore every day. Shadybug. The symbol of hope. The lie she kept alive while everything inside her slowly broke apart. She turned down a narrow alley, hoping the darkness would swallow her thoughts. A boy slumped against the brick wall, knees pulled to his chest, soaked through. His hair hung messily over his eyes, clothes torn and dirty like he’d been dragged through the night itself. A small duffel bag lay open beside him, empty—as if whatever life he had left was already gone. He looked… abandoned. Emo Marinette froze. She should have walked away. Paris wasn’t kind to heroes who lingered too long. But something in her chest twisted painfully. Because she knew that posture. The way his shoulders curved inward, like he was trying to disappear. She stepped closer. “Hey,” she said quietly, her voice almost swallowed by the rain. “Are you… alive?” The boy lifted his head slowly. His eyes were dull—not frightened, not angry—just empty. Like someone who’d already accepted that nothing good was coming. “Yeah,” he muttered. “Unfortunately.” That answer hit harder than it should have. Emo Marinette crouched a few feet away, careful not to scare him. “You shouldn’t sleep here. It’s dangerous.” He let out a weak laugh. “So is everywhere else.” Silence stretched between them, thick and uncomfortable. The city hummed in the distance, uncaring. “What’s your name?” she asked. “…Jaden.” She nodded. “I’m Marinette.” He didn’t look impressed. Didn’t look relieved either. Just nodded like names didn’t matter anymore. “Did someone hurt you?” Jaden glanced away. “Dropped me off. Said I’d ‘figure it out.’” His fingers clenched around nothing. “Guess this is me figuring it out.” I tagged this book, come and support me with a thumbs up! https://youtube.com/@nekovyn?si=PH_n2FC-fL5s6R9B

The universe is fair to all beings. But is the world? In a world where the strong devour the weak, countless lives are lost, innocent souls suffer, and the cries of the forgotten go unanswered. Yet the universe has never forgotten. For every injustice, there is a debt. For every sin, there is a consequence. And for every being, there comes a day when Karma must be faced. Villains may be reborn as heroes, while those once praised as heroes may become the very monsters they despised. No title, cultivation realm, or immortal existence can erase the weight of one's actions. But Karma is not merely punishment. Those who confront their sins may find redemption. Those who overcome their Karma may be granted mercy, though the consequences of their actions must still be borne. And somewhere in the vast cultivation world, a child named Kayle is born bearing two mysterious marks—a sword and a lotus. His arrival seems insignificant beneath the endless heavens. Yet the universe has already begun to change. When the day of judgment arrives, will even the heavens be able to escape their Karma?
