I Smashed the Immortal Realm

The immortal sects look down on mortals as ants. The eternal heavenly way follows cold rules, with merciless longevity and double standards, reaping the mortal world for eons. Chen Yan, a youth from the marketplace, awakens the triple settlement of the human way. When mortals are humiliated or juniors show off, he settles on the spot with a brick to suppress immortals. For immortal lords' evil deeds, sect corruption, and heavenly hierarchy arrogance, he defers the account and builds up power for a fatal strike. But this human power comes with a deadly cost. The more he crushes gods with humanity, the more he loses his mortal heart and approaches cold divinity. On one side is the supreme shortcut to eternal godhood; on the other is the mundane, short-lived, and vulnerable mortal world. Chen Yan smashes false immortal rules, overthrows generations of prodigies, and uncovers millennia of sacrificial darkness. When he holds the ultimate power to overturn heaven and ascend to godhood, he abandons godhood, immortality, and eternal life. The eternal cold rules are finally defeated by the warmth of the mortal world. The strongest path is not to rule the heavens, but to willingly guard the mundane world.
