Lin Mo awakens in a mass graveyard, cradling his mother’s corpse. His spiritual roots stolen and his body frail as torn paper, he is consumed by a towering hatred that activates the Homebound Sickness and Longevity System. From then on, plagues become tonics, despair turns into cultivation, and moans of pain make him a doctor so notorious he can barely show his face!
In the chaotic final years of the Ming dynasty, the land is strewn with the dead and dying. He founds the Longevity Cult: “Pay five coins a month, and you’ll ward off illness and build up your strength!” A five-tier, three-promotion system sweeps across the realm. Cement roads crush the mud, potato granaries burst with food for the common people, and as steam engines roar, ordinary folk build a gigantic city of steel!
The immortal sects are enraged? Lin Mo sneers. “Cultivators are the perfect breeding grounds for sickness!” He plants bone-corroding sores in Nascent Soul meridians and fills Golden Core minds with tumors of the seven emotions. When the Immortal Alliance marches on him, he sits in his sickroom and taps the System:
→ A million cult members carry rune-powered trains on their shoulders as they charge into battle!
→ Power grids snare immortal swords, while radios broadcast A Guide to Surrender!
→ He appears on the battlefield, laughing: “Immortals? You’re nothing but screws on my assembly line!”
