I Was Punished by the Heavenly Dao

In a parallel world, beast tides ravage the land and mutated beasts roam unchecked. Human city-states are scattered across the continent like stars, while those on the islands are barely holding on. Ye Fan arrives in this world with mediocre cultivation talent, but binds himself to the Heavenly Retribution System. From then on, things go like this: “Successfully completed one cycle of cultivation. Host's essence force +1. Retribution triggered: essence force -2.” “Ate a highly toxic Qi-Scattering Pill. Host's essence force -100. Retribution triggered: essence force +200.” “Attacked by an enemy. Host's essence force -50. Retribution triggered: essence force +100.” Getting beaten makes him stronger, and losing his cultivation is the same as training. With this bizarre setup, Ye Fan runs wild, leading the human city-states in wiping out the mutated beasts and colonizing the entire universe!
