To pick is to choose. This is a story about choices. Three thousand worlds full of gods and demons, with a daoist scroll in your hand, you are able to control the entire universe…

At the beginning of time, a mystical meteor came crashing down from outer space and scattered all over the world. A piece of it landed in the Eastern Continent. There were mysterious totems carved upon the meteor. Through viewing these totems, mankind comprehended the Dao and established the Orthodoxy.

Several thousand years later, the fourteen years old orphan Chen Changsheng left his master to cure his illness and change his fate. He brought a part of a marriage vow with him to the capital, thus beginning the journey of a rising hero… Collapse

    This seems to be a different translation from the one on webnovel.com. Although it doesn't seem to be MTL, it has lots of grammatical mistakes. Chapter 6 also seems to be incomplete with a pastebin link at the end.

    Example:
    He didn’t do any reaction, allowing it to seek around.
    vs
    He did not resist it in any way, letting it search throughout his body.

      After investigating a bit:

      Chapter 197 onwards seems to be from Webnovel. Though I haven't checked thoroughly.

    Let me walk y’all through a personal story with this novel. I started reading web novels in 2015 and my very first one was tales of demons and gods. Safe to say with that snail space, i moved to others. I found this one a couple years later and dropped it at ch 10ish thinking it was a pile of BS.

    I WAS WRONG. DEAD WRONG. I picked this again in 2019-20 and I WAS BLOWN AWAY. To this day, the novel continues to have a profound impact on me. The Character design of this novel is breathtaking and so is the world building. Everything is as peak as it gets. Do not be swayed away by the first few chapters of boredom. Give a shot and you wont be able to stop.

    Absolute 10/10

    This novel is just way way to convoluted for me like look at this
    The Tradition Academy was completely silent. In the dense forest, there were birds singing and a little building with entablatures sticking out was reflecting the sunlight, like a colored glaze. Thinking about the seemingly sudden attempt at assassination that was planned for years secretly by the demons, she suddenly felt somewhat cold.

    The Tradition Academy was extraordinarily quiet, as if there was no one, but actually many elites were hiding in there. Some were her clansmen and some were from the royal palace. She was certain that she was safe and so, she gradually eased into her situation.

    The door of the library was still tightly closed, but the copper locker was not locked. She knew that there was a person inside.

    She took a deep breathe, felt somewhat nervous and walked towards the library.
    its constantly like that too. And this is a completly random example to, like i literal just picked the first thing i saw, and its already this bad, like it seems to have somethings going, but this makes it like a massive chore to read, since it has alot of convolution in there, mixed with actuall useful stuff so you cant realy skim it.
    Like without trying half of it can be gone
    The Tradition Academy was silent, sunlight reflecting off the building’s entablatures in the dense forest. The hidden elites—her clansmen and royal guards—ensured her safety, but the thought of the demons’ long-planned assassination attempt sent a chill through her.

    At the library door, its copper lock undone, she took a deep breath and stepped forward, nervous but determined.
    Like its less than half the words(135 to 57 thats 58% less) of before and is pretty much the same.
    How did nobody see this? Like neither the positive ones or the people who disliked it?(Tbh they didnt realy give any good critic atall)
    Well might just be me, having read to much and hating bloated text immensly. Also its not like the author only writtes like this, he did write properly paced stuff quite a few times, but he Always throws this into the mix, maybe that changes later on, but seeing as most dont adress it, i highly doubt it will get better and will probably have some realy bad parts inthere, if you do not get annoyed by this type of writting read it, i do think it has alot of Potential and seeing how the other liked it, probably is also realy good than, otherwise dont even try.

    I’ve read a lot of novels and this has been my number 1 since I finished it. Yeah, it beats LOTM for me. Well let’s start with the MC. The MC isn’t weak but just weak enough so that we feel the intensity. The enemies he fight also feel like real enemies. They are f#cking scary. He does got moment where he do dope sht though and those moments are pure gold. His character is solid too, he got his own principals and beliefs. Oh yes, beliefs. Every character in this novel is so bright- even the villains. They all have their own ambitions and beliefs that make us can’t help but respect them. This isn’t even the main focus though. Even with these dope ass characters, the plot still carries. Everything correlates. Some chapters even got me rolling in bed questioning how tf did I not realize something. Well at least this was how I felt reading this. Give this poor fellow daoist some face and give it a try boast

    This is a great novel and one of my favourite CN ever. I love the MC and his relationship with the FL. All the characters felt unique and like real people. The one gripe I have tho is the ending since we didn't get to see MC's wedding, and also that it seemed like the setup for a new story and was left cut off. I wonder what all that was about. Anyways, I would totally recommend this. You won't be wasting your time

    Read to 71 chapters…waste of time, dropped. Talk about cliche, this is the epitome of CN novels. Ex, how dare you, do u know who is grandpa? Next thing the grandpa appears, how dare you? Do you know who am I? Grown ass old man bullying a teenager. The whole empire bullies him. Such low level minded world and characters.

      "Grown ass old man bullying a teenager" MAN! If you've just read through with an open mind, it's f#cking amazing how they deal with the concept of "old and new". It's a fully realized world with f#cking world ending immortals and imaging trying to influence that world, where will the youth be? How can they do anything when those immortals f#ck with them as they please. This story is about fate for sure, but as the title says, it's about choices amidst fate. How his older brother treats the MC, how the MC treats people around him and how they treat him. It's all about choice and links and everything ties together with memorable characters given their own moments to shine.

      Damn! This novel is so good!

    IF you will only read ONE cn web novel, I suggest this one.

    This is definitely NOT the most entertaining, but it's got a lot of depth that makes you remember.

    The characters are fleshed out, memorable, and unique.

    The story, pacing, plot, and arcs are cohesive and interesting.

    The world is the weakest part but still serviceable.

    The action is meaningful due to how it moves either the character or the plot forward.

    And because it has epic moments that reach the bone!

    It's the meaning. A lot of cn web novels have these epic fight scenes but because of the lack of overall depth, they tend to come off similar to those stick man fight animations, cool but forgettable.

    This one, one of the best scenes of him was how he "lost" to someone stronger than him but still won because it was a battle of ideology rather than strength WHILE in a battle of strength.

    And most importantly, this novel is a cohesive whole.

    From beginning to end, it's about fate and it's about choices.

    When other stories are about Monarchs of this, or God of that, this one reaches to your core without being intrusive or sanctimonious, and offers you food for thought.

    Again, not the most entertaining, but this is publish quality, and with enough seriousness to keep you thinking about it years after you've finished the story.

          Multiple girls like mc but he only likes one. Honestly though, the best romance in this novel isn’t even between mc and fml. Don’t misunderstand it as their romance being ass- it’s actually the second best I’ve seen in a cultivation novel. However, there’s one other couple that’s just way too sweet and romantic.
