Cyber talismans slice through the Ninefold Tribulation. AI alchemy blows up Medicine King Valley. Mechanical flying swords take down a hundred thousand cultivators at once.
On the day Bai Chiming was fired, he used his last 3% of spiritual energy to activate a bronze ring that fed on data.
When he arrived in the ancient world of cultivation with a quantum golden core...
On a Dharma-ending Earth:
He is the uncrowned king of the black market for spiritual energy. His secondhand flying-sword modification shop is tucked inside a space-folding shipping container, and the interstellar inspectors of the Myriad Worlds Group kneel to beg him for a supply of pure spiritual energy.
In the ancient world of cultivation:
He is a bug in the Heavenly Dao itself. With his left hand, he flings antimatter lightning talismans that blow the Demon Sect’s headquarters to pieces. With his right, he uses a gene editor to sterilize an ancient divine beast.
Until one day, he discovers:
The natal treasures of ancient cultivators are engraved with silicon-chip patterns. The stars reflected in Earth’s skies are quantum clouds belonging to Tribulation Transcendence cultivators. And the artifact spirit awakening in his brain-computer interface is none other than Taichu, the strong AI left behind by the ancient God-Slaying War.
“Fellow Daoist, do you know what it means to cultivate immortality?” Data streams through the pupils of the white-haired sword immortal.
Bai Chiming finishes engraving the 999th talisman onto his plasma minigun. Mechanical wings unfurl behind him, blotting out the sky.
“Cultivating immortality means...
Turning every rule I hate
into a damn virus code!”
