Apotheosis

Luo Zheng once bore the name of heir to the House of Luo, not loudly, but with dignity. Everything fell apart after his father's death: his relatives tore at each other for power, his sister was taken by powerful enemies, and the young man himself was turned into a servant, practically a living target for other people's fists. He endures the humiliation, but inside him a stubborn thought refuses to die: "I will get out. And I will take back what is mine."

In his darkest hour, Luo Zheng discovers an ancient secret, a strange tempering method that turns the human body into a weapon. Now pain is no longer just punishment: every blow seems to forge new strength in him. He learns to survive, grits his teeth, falls and rises again, gradually trading a slave's fate for the path of a fighter whom even the strongest begin to notice.

But the road to the summit is never straight. In a world where clans tear lands and resources from one another and cultivation masters measure their strength against each other, Luo Zheng has to fight for every step. Conspiracies, dangerous opponents and a mystery await him: is someone guiding him along this path a little too carefully? To become a god, defeating his enemies is not enough; he must wrest his own life from the hands of others.
