But beneath his seemingly ordinary existence lies the legacy of an extinct race—the Vael'drin.

Yet, buried beneath the ashes of history lies a forgotten legacy—the Ashen Throne. And its rightful heir may be the very boy the world considers talentless. He is the Violet Heir of an extinct race. His journey has only begun. It's a bit slow at the early chapters so please bear with it, as it contains important knowledge about the numerous worlds and their history

Xu Hao only meant to open an old book. One broken seal later, the middle-aged scholar wakes in an unfamiliar forest—with no way home and a body that has somehow become fifteen years old. This is a world where cultivators hold power, dangerous beasts roam the wilderness, and strength often matters more than justice. Xu Hao has neither a powerful family nor the ability to fight his way to the top. What he does have is an extraordinary gift: Drawing Cards. Armed with blank cards and a mysterious brush, he can create things this world has never seen, from magical companions to remarkable tools. But his power comes with mysteries of its own, and every experiment teaches him something new. Xu Hao would rather learn, heal, and build a peaceful life than solve every problem with violence. Unfortunately, unusual abilities attract attention—from people who need his help and others who want his power. In a world where the strong make the rules, can a man armed with knowledge, creativity, and a handful of cards find his own path?

Definitely by cultivating it, planting... and then helping to take care of the Pokémon entrusted here by customers, creating a perfect paradise for them. Not just a paradise for Pokémon, but for people too. "You ask why the Pokémon in my backyard are so imposing?" Lucas turns his head and shouts helplessly, "I've already told you, this is a Breeding House!

(There are few chapters which has indentation issues, due to the site glitch. I would recommend the readers to read the novel on Royals Road if you find any difficulty. I have tried fixing them, but some chapters retain those problems) In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide—navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world’s control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)
