Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

The Path to Immortality is elusive, and everyone seeks it even when only a sliver of hope remains. Tian Yongheng is an individual who recovered his past life memories following the brutal slaughter of his family. His profound fear of death and unyielding desire for eternal life compel him to embark on the perilous journey of Immortal Cultivation. He is neither a Chosen One blessed by the heavens nor the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. With a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets out to forge his own path in a world where fate manipulates existence and eldritch horrors devour universes for amusement. But can he truly grasp the illusory, eternal, and ethereal Immortal Dao that is both everlasting and ever-changing? Will he manage to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a legend beyond all others? Or will he also be lost in the long river of history like so many before him? --- The background settings and world-building of this story are heavily inspired by "Top Tier Providence" and "Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years." The main characters share similarities, so if you enjoy tales where the protagonist is a hidden powerhouse known worldwide despite their secrecy, you might appreciate this story. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel, and feel free to point out any mistakes in the comments. Additionally, I am not from China, so there may be inaccuracies in names and historical details; please bear with me. Note: English is not my first language, and the cover image is not mine.
