From the start, Yu Changsheng gains the ability to take other people’s lifespans and give them years of his own. As long as he grants someone extra years, all their abilities will belong to him after they die. But the other person has to agree first. Sick of living in poverty, Yu Changsheng starts running a usurious lifespan-lending business, but he’s soon taken captive by people who want to obtain an endless supply of years from him. Refusing to live without freedom, he blows up a gas canister and takes his enemies down with him. Then he transmigrates to the Tang Dynasty, only to discover that he has arrived in the world of Journey to the West. Mortals, demons, and even the immortals and Buddhas of the heavens are all fretting over their lifespans. He grins. Isn’t this exactly where I belong?
