Having been offered the dubious salvation of a sect that worships his late mother, Nemesis finds himself in a position of having to decide who to trust, and who to kill. With his partners at his side, the black dragon will continue to advance his cultivation and grow in power.

The lawyer and journalist Matteo Teresi discovers the existence of a secret sect whose members include priests, politicians, and regional VIPs. During the early morning hours, when the town’s churches are closed, the "Sect of the Angels" meets in the sacristy to carry out their holy office: initiating devout virgins into the rites of married life. Preying on their victims’ naivete, the hooded "elect" commit ignominious acts while promising the young women divine grace. In 1901, at a time of immense changes in Sicilian society, the scandal breaks nationwide.

Following his death by pie-eating contest, pudgy, pathetic putz Zack found himself in the body of the recently killed demonic sect elder known as Slifer, supreme elder of the Black Rose Sect. Slifer was revered by many and feared by all, and under Zack's management he was going to kick some serious a-s—even if the System really had it in for him. After a botched mass-assassination attempt by the rival Black Death Sect, Slifer's decided to pay a friendly visit to the other evil sects for the sake of peace.

He returns again. The past still hurts. But his path continues into a new tomorrow. Su Fang has clawed his way through countless time loops and claimed the spatial fire seed. But behind him lies years of failures, regrets, and unpaid debts. With each death, he comes inches closer to a hard truth: immortality isn’t freedom. It’s responsibility.

Before meeting his pathetic and all-too-predictable demise in the middle of a pie-eating contest, Zack was living the high life: schlubbing around his parents' basement, subsisting on pizza, video games, computer screens, and web novels. He had it all . . . while still being a big, fat nothing. But when he's forced to ditch his pudgy mortal corpse, Zack finds himself taking the place of a recently-killed demonic sect elder known as Slifer, who—even as an elderly man—is one serious bada--.

His end is the start of a new path. Tundra Fox, a cultivator of immense power and Sect Master of the Verdant Snow Sect, faces an eldritch god from beyond and dies. But that's only where his story begins. A time-artifact sends his soul back 10,000 years, when he was still in the earlier years of growing his Sect. With a second chance, Tundra will try to prevent family deaths, conflicts, and hopefully, try to raise descendants that don't become arrogant young masters.

Sataou, still reeling from his losses and devastated by his future, continues on. He is determined to bring the Shengu Sect to its knees and rid the area of their influence once and for all—for his loved ones and those being oppressed by their machinations. The power within him grows in strength, however, and he finds himself needing to decide whether to stay true to who he is or to simply allow himself to change, becoming what the Void wishes for him to be. The world around him loses some color, but his abilities increase—and he will need every bit of help he can get in the fights to come.

Falken Calder dreams of becoming immortal. But as a mere scullery boy in service of the fabled Ardent Lunar Sect, his chances of rising through the ranks are slim. There is only one way he can take up the title of cultivator - to awaken before he comes of age. Time is already running out.

O que Paula Picarelli faz neste audiolivro é um prodígio. Tudo o que é narrado aconteceu de verdade. Para não ser processada, se viu obrigada a romancear os acontecimentos, mudou nomes, misturou uma cena verídica a outra e assim construiu um romance potente, com o equilíbrio e o controle de uma escritora talentosa e experiente. É um audiolivro sobre a manipulação psicológica que as seitas religiosas exercem sobre os fiéis, alguns deles tão brilhantes quanto a autora. Mas é sobretudo a história de como a inteligência pode nos salvar do fanatismo. Uma obra fundamental.

Lo imaginamos caminando con un aire de desdén, desgarbado y sucio, mofándose de la idea de patria o polis. Vestido con un burdo manto y con su morral a la usanza de su maestro, Diógenes de Sinope, apodado "el Perro", proclamaba ser "ciudadano del mundo", después de renunciar a su fortuna y a su estatus privilegiado. Era la Grecia del siglo IV a. C., recientemente sometida por los ejércitos de Alejandro Magno, y el malestar de la época se manifestaba de varias maneras.
