From the Start, I Became the Heavenly Dao and Fabricated an Apocalypse Hoax

He was the greatest figure in the Cangxuan Realm throughout the ages. After ascending and attaining the Dao, he became the embodiment of Heaven itself! The people were still worshipping him when he tore open space and blasted his closest friend apart with one punch, proclaiming the end of the world: “Every living thing in this realm is fuel for my transcendence!” Heaven was destroying the world? A world-shaking lie! It was all to prepare for the ‘extraterritorial locusts’ that would devour the heavens a hundred years later! Lin Dao wielded his scythe without mercy: he contaminated the source of spiritual energy and destroyed the foundations of cultivation! Gentle spiritual energy turned into poisonous chaos. Sacred lands collapsed, dynasties fell, and countless mortals became plague-ridden livestock in a living hell! In their despair, ‘chaos spirit mushrooms’ sprouted from the earth. Eat one, and you’ll gain a ‘devouring spiritual root’ capable of ‘purifying’ tainted spirit stones! A glimmer of hope? It was Heaven’s most poisonous bait! The cultivators of the sacred lands were pushed to the brink. The faction with a conscience roared, “This is Heaven’s treacherous scheme!” The hardliners sneered, “How soft-hearted! Mortals are just livestock for purification!” And so, spirit-purification workshops sprang up. Mortals were penned in like pigs, their flesh used as fuel as they wailed day and night, all to squeeze out pure spirit stones that cultivators needed to stay alive! Lin Dao looked down on the struggling masses and whispered coldly, “Hate! Suffer! When the marrow of ten billion ‘purification livestock’ has burned away... it will be time to temper this realm into a blade sharp enough to slaughter the locusts!” When the pupils of the purification livestock glow with the blood-red light of devouring, when ‘grain and fodder’ production lines spread throughout this hell... who will be the final sacrifice, and who the blade, in Heaven’s game of chess?
