. A Brief Overview of Desolate Era - I Eat Tomatoes . | Summary

Synopsis:

Ji Ning was originally an Earth teenager who transmigrated. Because he focused on doing good deeds in the mortal world, he received preferential treatment from Judge Cui after death, guiding him onto the path of immortality, thus beginning his adventure-filled journey of cultivation.

After meeting Judge Cui, he learned that his hometown, Earth, was so small, and the population of billions was just ordinary. This world was incredibly vast and unimaginable. There are Celestial Realms! Netherworld Realms! Human Realms. The Human Realm has three thousand Great Worlds and billions of Small Worlds. Each of the three thousand Great Worlds is incredibly vast, with immortals and demons appearing and disappearing. And Earth is just a corner of a very small world.

On his long path of cultivation, he was fortunate enough to meet the legendary, powerful beings: First Senior Brother Hou Yi, Sixth Senior Brother Sun Wukong, Patriarch Bodhi, Longevity Immortal, Lu Dongbin, Buddha Tathagata, Shennong… and even ancient gods and demons such as Nuwa and Pangu.

Characters:

Ji Ning: Reincarnated into the Ji Clan, but his talent is mediocre. The Ji Clan is a small force under the vast and boundless Xia Dynasty. This ancient dynasty was born in the era of gods and demons and has been able to safely survive the distant and terrifying era of gods and demons, existing for hundreds of millions of years. A dynasty that can exist for hundreds of millions of years is truly amazing.

Cultivating immortality is divided into two methods: Qi Refining and Body Refinement. Ji Ning chose Body Refinement because this method has extremely strong survivability. He chose ‘Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens’ (赤明九天图), the top God-Demon Body Refining technique in the Xia Dynasty world. He overcomes hardships step by step, overcomes calamities, and finally climbs to the peak.

Yu Wei: She is a reincarnated immortal with rapid cultivation, but hides her identity. She is a mysterious pawn. For Ji Ning and her child with Ji Ning, she would rather sacrifice herself than harm her lover. Their love is one of the most touching loves I have read in Xianxia novels. It is not glamorous, but full of warmth and consistent true feelings.
