Reverend Insanity: The Goody Two-Shoes System

"Man is the spirit of all things, and gu are the refined fragments of the Great Dao. The ambition which blooms with the spring's morning breeze withers at the call of autumn's night. The accumulation of five hundred years - triumphs and failures - will be naught but ash with dawn's first light. The rising of the sun bathes the mountains in golden flame, but 'tis sunset upon the demon's time. " The demonic overlord, Fang Yuan, is cornered by his enemies after word gets out that he refined the Spring Autumn Cicada - a gu worm rumored to be capable of having a chance at sending one back in time but demands a terrifying price in return - the user's entire existence! With no hope of escape, in desperation, Fang Yuan uses the Spring Autumn Cicada which miraculously lives up to its name and sends him back in time. And now, he's back in Gu Yue Village as a fifteen-year-old ready to use his knowledge of the future to conquer the world... but there's something wrong. Something is quite different this time around. What's with this new notification that keeps popping up in his view? It calls itself 'The Goody Two-Shoes System.' It also starts giving him quests to complete. "Help Fang Zheng gain his confidence back!" - get a Green Copper Relic Gu! "Help your friends refine their gu worms!" - have your aptitude raised by 2%! All of these rewards and quests before him, why are they trying to convert this demonic overlord to the path of righteousness? And aren't some of these quests kind of... sus? Why does marrying Bai Ning Bing give him an immortal gu? Whatever, anything for benefits! [There will eventually be an in-universe explanation for the existence of the Goody Two-Shoes System within the story. Additionally, as the story progresses, the Goody Two-Shoes System will slowly decrease in importance particularly past 350 chapters or so.] This is a fanfiction based on Gu Zhen Re's work 'Reverend Insanity' known in Chinese as 蛊真人 or 'Gu Taoist Master'. I don't own the rights to the original work. 'Gu' in the context of this story are mystical insects that have various powers and are the basis of the world's cultivation system.

Douluo: Caelus Awakens the Martial Soul Istaroth

Reincarnated into the Douluo Continent during the era of The Unrivaled Tang Sect, Cealus originally believed that, with a system in hand, he would soar to the peak of the continent from the very start. Who could have expected that this unreliable system would be erased the moment it activated, vanishing without a trace? Just when he thought the script of his life had been completely torn apart, he discovered that the system had not truly disappeared. Instead, it had sacrificed itself to the Heavenly Dao, leaving behind a legacy imbued with unfathomable authority. With no other options, Cealus reluctantly accepted this inheritance, awakening a time-attribute martial soul—Time Ruler, Istaroth. From that moment onward, the power system of the Douluo Continent began to feel… distorted. While others relied on soul power cultivation, spirit rings, and explosive soul skills, his abilities ignored conventional scaling and instead revolved entirely around temporal mechanics. [Effect Precedes Cause] Anchor a future outcome, lock in the result, then retroactively rewrite the past to ensure it happens. [Time Deletion] Erase the process itself and arrive directly at the predetermined conclusion. [Time Reset] On the brink of death one second, completely restored the next. [Time Phase] Your attack may shake the heavens, but my true body exists at another point along the timeline. If you can, pursue me across time itself. There were no exaggerated soul power ranks, no dramatic ring explosions—yet whenever Cealus smiled and casually raised his hand, even the God-Kings of the Divine Realm felt an inexplicable chill. “This person’s soul skills… they operate on principles beyond the laws of this world.” Cealus, later dubbed the King of Narratives and the So-Called Gentleman Who Lives Off His Wife, merely gazed at the vast starry sky above Douluo and let out a faint chuckle. “Even without a system… I remain invincible.”

The blind prince

Born as a prince of the powerful Tang Kingdom, Tang Lie possesses something no ordinary person can understand. He is blind. Yet despite having no sight, Tang Lie can perceive the world through Spiritual Energy. Every living being, every object, and even the world itself carries a unique presence that he can sense. From a very young age, Tang Lie begins an extraordinary journey of cultivation under the guidance of his family. But unlike other young geniuses, he does not seek power merely to become the strongest. He wants to understand the world. The world he lives in is divided among Eight Great Kingdoms—Tang Kingdom, Fenghua Kingdom, Li Kingdom, Star Kingdom, Tiang Kingdom, Britial Kingdom, Holy Kingdom, and Dark Kingdom. Among them, Star Kingdom, Holy Kingdom, and Dark Kingdom stand at the peak of power. When Tang Lie is given the opportunity to choose where he will begin his cultivation journey, everyone expects him to choose one of the safer and more powerful kingdoms. But Tang Lie makes an unexpected decision. He chooses the Dark Kingdom. A kingdom feared by countless people. A kingdom filled with dangerous techniques, mysterious resources, forbidden knowledge, powerful cultivators, and secrets that have remained hidden for countless years. And waiting for him there is Devil's Academy. But Tang Lie's journey is far more complicated than he could ever imagine. As he grows stronger, he will uncover fragments of an ancient history that even the greatest cultivators fear to speak about. A history involving a mysterious existence known as the Bloody Monster. A being who once stood against the entire world. A being who, according to ancient records, slaughtered billions of gods alone. No army could defeat him. No supreme cultivator could stop him. In the end, countless powerful beings were forced to sacrifice themselves just to place this terrifying existence into an eternal deep sleep. For countless years, the world believed that the Bloody Monster was nothing more than an ancient legend. But what if the legend was true? What if he is still alive? And what if one day... he awakens? Tang Lie's journey will take him from a young blind prince to the highest realms of cultivation, from the mortal world to the Immortal Realm, and eventually toward secrets that could shake the entire universe. Alongside him will be Kai Lin, his childhood fiancé, who chooses to walk beside him even when the entire world tells her to turn back. Friends will appear. Enemies will rise. Ancient beasts will awaken. Kingdoms will clash. And the deeper Tang Lie travels into the world of cultivation, the more he realizes that the greatest secrets are not hidden in the future... They are buried in the past. This is the story of a blind prince who cannot see the world— yet may one day become the person who sees its greatest truth. The journey begins with darkness. But where it ends... even the heavens do not know.
