The Retired Emperor Just Wants to Lie Flat, but the Entire Universe Forces Me to Hustle

After unifying the Abyss, conquering Heaven, and deciding life had become boring, Demon King Song Yao chose to retire. He took his max-level cultivation and legendary gear with him, reincarnating in a peaceful city where martial arts reign supreme. He just wants to lie flat and enjoy an ordinary life.

On his first day of school, he awakens an F-rank talent called “Nullification,” which makes all energy attacks within one meter ineffective.

Everyone mocks him, saying it’s the most useless talent imaginable and that he can only serve as a “human shield.”

Song Yao, however, is delighted: Isn’t this the “absolute defense” I’ve always dreamed of? Perfect!

But then disasters from other dimensions descend. Gods fall, heroes bleed, and humanity sinks into despair.

Only then do people realize in horror that the sole person who can stroll leisurely through the disasters, even complaining that “the light pollution is too dazzling,” is the F-rank loser everyone looked down on.

“Please, save us!” all of humanity begs.

Song Yao irritably picks at his ear. “Leave me alone. I just want to retire. By the way, can any of you make red-braised pork?”

This is the story of a max-level powerhouse who wants to lie flat, but keeps getting forced to work overtime by clueless villains and a world that begs him for help.
