[Invincible from the Middle Onward] [No Female Lead] [Follows the Main Plot, But Isn't Quite the Main Plot] [Transcendent Talent] [Morally Evil Neutral Protagonist]
No one starts out standing above the heavens.
The vast world cannot be measured by human principles, good or evil. Before the boundless universe, even life itself is narrow-minded.
Because of a defective System and the burden of memories from before he transmigrated, Zhang Chusheng suffers from brain cancer. After spending all his savings from his days as a hunter, he has no choice, for various reasons, but to hope that in the rest of his life he can unravel the nature of the System and find a way to cure his illness.
But as the missing information gradually comes to light, the two reach an understanding and embark on a journey to cure his illness by achieving self-transcendence...
Through exploitation, shifting allegiances, and changing perspectives, a scheming man and his System help one another achieve greatness. As they hitch a ride aboard the Astral Express, they continually reclaim fragments of the System from the Aeons, learn the nature of space and time, and unravel the mysteries of all things. This is the story of their trials through forty-two levels of truth and their gradual ascent to godhood.
"All acts of incompetence stem from a lack of strength."
"Because I am weak, I can cast everything aside."
"Emotion is a human redundancy. The pursuit of self-transcendence is also the path to becoming the universe."
At the end of the journey, Zhang Chusheng stands in silence amid the cosmos.
Now he has the power to do anything he wants.
