The Curse of the Gods

The Curse of the Gods is a modern cultivation novel by the web author Feizhiniao, written in the 2000s and completed on Qidian on September 1, 2007. Running about 640,000 characters across 244 chapters, it was a signed work of Qidian's First Editorial Group. The story opens with the protagonist Ye Ziluo, an ordinary young man who stumbles into an accident, meets a group of cultivators, and is then forced by another accident to leave Earth, setting out on a long and fantastical path of cultivation—and a determined road home. The book unfolds across twelve main volumes plus a final volume, with adventures ranging from Earth to the ancient battlefield of Zhuolu, the ghost realm of the underworld, the demon realm, overseas immortal isles, and the wondrous realm of the Phantom Sea. Starting from the Foundation Establishment stage, the protagonist breaks formations, seizes treasures, battles the Demon Emperor, navigates sect strife and conflicts among gods, grows from mortal to Void Walker, and gradually uncovers the three-realm karma behind "the curse of the gods." Blending a modern technological backdrop with cultivation civilization, the novel threads time-space travel, interstellar journeys, and cross-realm power games through a leveling-up main plot, closing with a return to Earth that binds together the cultivation journey and emotional ties.
