- Description from Novelupdates

Lu Jun, while traveling in Bashu, casually purchased a White Tiger pendant, only to discover it was connected to the White Tiger Totem. This unexpected event forced him to traverse into the world of Versatile Mage, a parallel universe to Blue Star. In this realm, magic flourishes, and monsters run rampant. (The story is designed to be understood without prior knowledge of the original novel, with the setting gradually unfolding.)Through the fusion of dual origins, Lu Jun awakens an innate dual-element talent and gains mastery over the never-before-seen Metal element.In the face of monstrous invasions, humanity's precarious survival, and constant infighting, Lu Jun stands atop the Sacred City and declares resolutely:“I am the King of the World. Who approves? Who opposes?”“Even if I must bear the Abyss of Calamity and hold up the Sacred City single-handedly, I, Lu Jun, remain invincible in this world!”“Sword, come!”With a single strike, the seven Archangels are nailed to the city walls, a sight that shocks all. The bodies of seven Red Cardinals pave a road of blood and boneDisclaimer: I don't own Versatile Mage or the Fan fiction i am just Translating
