Xu Zhe, a burned-out college student who worked himself to death, transmigrates as the senior disciple of an immortal sect. He just wants to leave the rat race behind and lie flat for good!
Luckily, the Heaven-Defying Lie-Flat System awakens. From the start, he signs in to gain cultivation at the Ancestral Realm, then disguises himself as a lazy Golden Core cultivator.
But the entire sect worries itself sick over him, their “useless senior brother”!
[Master: This rebellious disciple’s cultivation is far too weak to refine an Emperor Pill! Give him Nine-Turn Golden Pills to eat like rice!]
[Three junior sisters: Senior Brother’s talent is peerless. How can he stop at the Golden Core realm?]
[Second junior brother: Senior Brother has sacrificed so much for the sect! I’d brave a mountain of blades and a sea of fire to find him divine medicine!]
Yet Xu Zhe accepts every “gift” from the whole sect without hesitation, eating immortal pills like candy and drinking divine medicine like water... while his cultivation remains as steady as an old dog, without budging an inch.
Until one day
[The walnut shell he casually tossed blew up the Heavenly Abyss and smashed through the Demon Realm!]
[A grape skin he spat out unleashed sword energy across thirty thousand miles and wiped out an immortal dynasty!]
[The branch he used for barbecue turned out to be a tender shoot from the legendary World Tree!]
The entire sect flies into a rage, then stares in stunned disbelief: Weren’t you supposed to be a useless little Golden Core cultivator? Have we raised the Heavenly Dao’s own father?!
Everything is too deliberate; how can one be content with just lying down when you're constantly thinking about how to deal with the people around you? How can one be a lazy bum?
