Buried Gods

Buried Gods is a long xuanhuan novel by author Shu Longyu (pen name Yiling), first serialized on Motie Chinese Network as an exclusively authorized signed work. The protagonist, Qin Ge, is a lowly brothel cook who also cultivates both the warrior and summoner paths. In his seemingly peaceful everyday life, he accidentally touches a bloody and hidden ancient secret and thereby obtains a long-lost legacy. As his cultivation and horizons expand step by step, he is drawn into a vast conflict among gods, demons, monsters, and the major sects and races, growing from a figure regarded as an ant into an existence capable of shaping the world's order. The book unfolds around its core mystery—that the divine realm is in fact a giant lonely grave: why the Eastern Land world is sealed off by the Heavenly Dao, why the ancient stone city awakens from slumber, why the gods abandon their own souls, and what is buried in the nine great forbidden zones of life—these puzzles nest layer upon layer to form the main line. The author describes the book as a blend of wuxia and xianxia: the first dozen or so chapters lean toward wuxia style, then gradually transition to a xianxia scale, with a broad worldview involving the Heavenly Dao, forbidden zones, legacies, and divine positions. With the spiritual core of "mortals slaying gods and making their own laws," it emphasizes the struggle, awakening, and resistance of small figures caught between power and divine authority, offering both hot-blooded growth and suspenseful puzzle-solving—well suited to readers who enjoy traditional Eastern xuanhuan long-form storytelling.
