Divine Martial

Divine Martial is a long science fiction novel by the web author Wu Ye, serialized on Qidian and completed in March 2019. It runs about 1.33 million characters across 437 chapters. The protagonist, Hong Feng, is a legendary figure known as the God of War and the God of Arms—a man who spent his life in battle, won every fight, and built countless glorious records, only to die consumed by hatred after being framed by treacherous men. But a god of war is a god of war; even if he must crawl out of hell, crawl out he will. Carrying the unyielding will of a hundred thousand soldier souls, Hong Feng is reborn thirty years in the past, back to a time before any of it happened, when regrets could still be undone. Starting again from the bottom after his rebirth, Hong Feng relies on the experience and judgment of his former life to rise steadily through the Divine Martial Association's examinations, the recruit championship, and arranged duels, advancing from an ordinary ace divine soldier toward ever higher realms. He is then dispatched by order to the Southwest Military Region's Hunter Unit for an extremely dangerous mission, and amid the crises of joint military exercises and the Hundred Universities League, he maneuvers between the military and various factions, gradually drawn into the power struggles of Shangjing. The novel interweaves future military concepts—vitality particles, custom combat weapons, the Storm Gauntlet, the Gale War Shark—with a rebirth-and-revenge narrative, writing both of individual will against fate and of the helpless scheming of those caught in the tide of an era. Hong Feng pursues the true culprits who framed him while trying to change the fates of his comrade Lan Jing and others, until he finally stands before his sworn enemy for a decisive showdown. The book unfolds across volumes including Reborn God of War and Storm over the Southwest; with brisk pacing and dense battle scenes, it is Wu Ye's latest passionate long novel set against a future military backdrop, following Immortal Mech, Martial Mech Armor, and Urban Arms Expert.
