Threadless_Will
He shattered the vault of heaven, not with strength, but with will.The stars forgot his name. The myths lost his shape. But still he walked — not above heaven, but beyond it. ....................... When Fate Gu was destroyed, the heavens did not fall — they fractured. In a world flooded with remnants of Heaven’s Will, half-born Venerables, and myths twisting into reality, only one cultivator dares to walk forward. Fang Yuan, reborn from five hundred years of betrayal and war, has already defied fate once. But now, the battle is no longer just against destiny — it is against echoes of himself, against sovereigns reborn in blood and prophecy, and against the very rules that define what is real. Not for power. Not for peace. But for freedom so complete that even heaven cannot name him. Beneath the shattered vault, only one will remains. ............................... This work is a fan-made sequel inspired by the original web novel Reverend Insanity (Gu Daoist Master), written by the brilliant author Gu Zhen Ren. All credit for the foundational characters, world-building, and philosophy belongs to him. This continuation is made with respect and admiration for his masterpiece. ..........................

Prey Amongst Predators

On the brink of death, Sol had expected nothing more than eternal peace from his lifelong suffering. But instead, fate dealt him an unexpected hand. The Melvires, a renowned family, rescued him that night, and his fate was rewritten. A man who called himself his father, along with the four sons who bore no resemblance to him, offered a life so far removed from his own, it felt like fiction. Ever since then, he had done everything in his power to make himself worthy of the life they gave him. Yet even as the years passed, some truths remained hard to ignore. The Melvires carried themselves with an elegance that seemed inborn, an air of distinction no effort could replicate. No matter how hard he tried, Sol always felt like an outsider trailing behind them–grateful, but never equal. Nevertheless, he dedicated himself to their service, believing loyalty was the least he could offer in return. But everything shattered the night he turned twenty when the veil was lifted. The Melvires finally revealed the sharp claws hidden behind their velvet gloves. Sol was nothing more than a sacrifice. The crown of their design. He fought hard to escape their reign of terror, but the more he resisted, the steeper the slope became. Every path forward was walled in inevitability. His spirit waned beneath the weight of isolation and betrayal, until all that remained was resignation. Perhaps this was simply the closing of a circle. If his life was the price for everything he had been given, then so be it. He opened his arms, ready to embrace death again, just as he had all those years ago. But what was with their sudden change in attitude? Why, after all the pain they had inflicted, did they now seem… wounded?
