Prehistoric: Deceiving All The Saints, Becoming A Saint On The Great Road

If you are a fan of the Prehistoric (Honghuang) genre looking for a refreshing twist, "Prehistoric: Deceiving All The Saints, Becoming A Saint On The Great Road" by Hao Yun Shi Bei is a must-read. While most novels in this genre focus on brutal cultivation or rigid adherence to destiny, this story breathes life into the tropes through pure, unadulterated wit.

The narrative follows Su Mu, a protagonist who realizes that in a world governed by ancient, immutable fates, the most powerful weapon is not a sword or a secret technique—it is a silver tongue. Su Mu’s ability to manipulate the trajectory of legendary figures like the Tongtian Cult Leader creates a unique dynamic. By gaslighting the most powerful beings in existence into changing their destinies, Su Mu doesn’t just survive; he thrives. Every time a major character deviates from their established path due to his advice, the system rewards him with massive power boosts, turning the entire Prehistoric world into his personal playground.

What makes this novel stand out is its comedic timing and the sheer absurdity of its premise. Seeing the high and mighty Saints of the Great Road get hoodwinked by a seemingly humble cultivator is incredibly satisfying. The author manages to balance the high stakes of the mythical Calamity with lighthearted, clever dialogue that keeps the pacing brisk and engaging.

If you enjoy fast-paced power fantasies where the protagonist plays 4D chess against gods and demons alike, this novel is a perfect choice. It subverts expectations at every turn, ensuring that you are never quite sure how the next interaction will unfold. Dive into Su Mu’s journey and prepare to be entertained as he scams his way to the top of the cultivation world.
