If you were reborn five hundred years in the past, knowing everyone’s fate and destiny, how would you use that knowledge? Fang Yuan, armed with five centuries of memories, returns to his youth in a world ruled by Gu worms, where the strong dominate and the weak perish. No longer an ordinary man, he understands the ruthless law of survival and is determined to rise on the path of Gu Immortality—no matter the cost. From the moment he refines his first Gu worm, Fang Yuan embarks on a journey filled with betrayal, schemes, and bloodshed. Manipulating every opportunity, he deceives his family, slaughters his sect, and coldly eliminates anyone who stands in his way, all to grow stronger. But as he climbs toward the peak of power, Fang Yuan discovers his true enemy is not merely other cultivators, but the omnipotent force of Heaven itself. With each step he takes, the battle between him and Heaven intensifies, and hidden secrets about the False Immortal Body and the Reincarnation Prison begin to unravel. In this world where strength is everything, Fang Yuan's path is soaked in blood and intrigue. His enemies are not just powerful individuals, but the invisible will of Heaven. As his power grows, the chains of destiny tighten, the forbidden forces of the Reincarnation Prison awaken, and the mysteries of the False Immortal Body come to light. Can Fang Yuan shatter every shackle and seize control of his fate? In this epic struggle between Heaven and Earth, the victor will gain unimaginable power, while the defeated will be reduced to dust. Will this perilous path of Gu Immortality lead to ultimate triumph or certain doom? The truth awaits—are you ready to follow Fang Yuan and witness his final fate?
I didn't expect to keep reading the series but I was curious to see what happened next. This volume still suffers a lot from poor translation and everything being overexplained but it's much less repetitive and the story progresses at a more reasonable pace.
Reverend Insanity reminds me a lot of the Naruto series. It's full of unnecessary filler and is often pretty goofy but it also has great characters, worldbuilding and incredible fight scenes. Funnily enough my Kindle predicts it'll take me around 275 hours to finish reading the full 2334 chapters, which is roughly the same amount of time as watching all 720 episodes of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden (278 hours).
The length is honestly still pretty daunting being the equivalent of 21 750page books but I think for now it'll be something I occasionally come back to and keep chipping away at.
