“Only by enduring 2¹⁴ trials can one awaken the ancient power sleeping within the Key of the Star Prison, and become the most powerful being in the universe.”Timothy, the youngest Demon Lord in the history of his race, saw these words emerge after he touched the Key of the Star Prison, the most powerful artifact of the demon race, handed to him just before the old Demon Lord's death.According to the demon race's records, no Demon Lord had ever achieved this.However, over a span of a hundred thousand years, Timothy had easily passed 16,383 trials.Now, once again, he turned the Key of the Star Prison, and an unknown force mistakenly sent him to a brand new world, transforming him into an unknown and seemingly worthless demonic cultivator disciple.And the formidable opponent he was about to face in this world was the powerful Goddess Sylvia.When Goddess Sylvia received the challenge Timothy handed her, her cheeks flushed...“My dear Sylvia, I want you to know how deeply I love you. My heart belongs to you, now and forever.”

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?

Sangyu traveled to the primitive society,

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was attacked by an ugly monster.

In a critical moment, he was saved by a little savage,

She couldn’t find the main road, so she could only follow the little savages to their tribe,

However, the tribe was attacked and the leader was killed in the battle.

Young people were taken away, leaving only a group of old and weak women and children waiting to die.

Sang Yu had nowhere to go, and in order to repay the little wild man, he gathered the remaining thirty or forty people to form a new tribe.

She tried her best to teach the tribe members to open up wasteland and farm land, raise poultry, fish, make pottery, and build houses;

Establish laws, teach tribal people to read, learn etiquette and pay attention to hygiene;

At the same time, dig trenches and build walls to resist the invasion of other tribes;

The annexation of the population and continuous external expansion became the first tribe in the primitive era to create a new era.

The former little savage gradually grew up and became a tall and sassy little beauty,

The little girl is wild, but she is beautiful and obedient, and her combat effectiveness is over the top.

She followed the Sangyu guard tribe to fight in all directions, and beat the bandits and other tribesmen to pieces.

If anyone dares to covet his lord, he will be beaten to the ground.
