The Laughing Void Sovereign
In the humble Fragrant Rice Village, where the sacred grain is bowed to before every meal, there lives a legend of lazi-ness. His name is Wei Xiao’ou, and he’s won the annual Lazy Immortal Festival twelve years running. To his clan, he’s the outer disciple who naps in the spirit fields and owes everyone spirit stones. To passing heavenly geniuses, he’s a baffling, infuriating mortal who somehow causes them to trip into manure or find him asleep in their sacred bathtubs—entirely by accident.
But the joke is on the heavens themselves.
Wei Xiao’ou is a reincarnator who, as a child, asked a Forbidden Question and received an Answer. Now, chosen by the Heaven-Sundering Genesis Lance (which he carries as a patched-up, rusty umbrella), he is the most terrifying kind of genius: the kind who plans three hundred steps ahead while snoring. His public face is one of charming incompetence and absurd luck, a shield to hide a depth of power and foresight that would make ancient monsters tremble.
This is the epic tale of his longest, most elaborate nap. It’s a journey that begins with saving a spirit chicken (who is decidedly not a future Phoenix Emperor) and escalates into scamming a Demon Princess's dowry, surfing tribulation lightning on a sky-whale, and accidentally founding an underground comedy club in the heart of the Demon Realm. With a cast of unforgettable companions—a foodie alchemist inventing spirit cola, a sword nerd who believes feelings are a form of blade, and a tsundere ice beauty who can’t seem to keep him out of her bathing pool—Xiao’ou will navigate petty rivalries that bloom into epic bromances and sect politics that ignite continent-spanning wars.
All while desperately, passionately trying to avoid any and all paperwork.
"The Laughing Void Sovereign" is a slow-burn, laugh-out-loud comedy that never loses its heart. It’s a story about the bonds of family, the sacredness of a good meal, and the revolutionary idea that maybe, just maybe, the ultimate power isn't about being the most ruthless, but about being clever enough to appear lazy while the universe does your work for you. It's a world to get lost in, where every character has a story, every prop has a secret, and every laugh hides a deeper truth.
By the final chapter, you’ll believe in the profound power of a well-timed sneeze and a perfectly taken nap.
