Su Chen, a reader from Earth, transmigrates into another world and becomes bound to the [Death Sentence System]. Its missions are so vicious that they rival the desperate situations Wang Lin faces, and failure brings an even crueler punishment: the annihilation of his soul. But the rewards are equally heaven-defying, including fragments of the Heaven Defying Bead, an Ancient God body, and insights into the laws of the universe.
He narrowly escapes the massacre of the Hengyue Sect and carefully navigates the upheavals at the Corpse Yin Sect, Vermilion Bird Planet, Demon Cultivation Sea, and Thunder Immortal Temple. Armed with his knowledge of the plot and the System's “brutal prodding,” he repeatedly snatches Wang Lin's opportunities, unravels the deadly traps laid for him, and even clashes with him over their principles.
When Wang Lin attempts to reach the Fourth Step, Su Chen's System issues its final mission: help him sever the karma of reincarnation, or both of them will be erased by the Heavenly Dao. Witness how a transmigrator driven to ruthless extremes by his System carves out a path in the world of Renegade Immortal that is even more “insane” and defiant of heaven than Wang Lin's!
The short story is written around the protagonist alone, with no plot interludes.
