Chen Fan transmigrates to an age of spiritual qi revival, only to discover he has terminal cancer and just seven days to live.
At the brink of despair, he activates the [Myriad Realms Lifespan Exchange], which lets him freely trade his own lifespan and that of others.
Only seven days left from the start? No problem. He sells six days for a copy of The Immortal Emperor's Godslaying Art!
With just one day remaining, he confronts the world's richest man. “Old man, your brow is dark. You don't have long to live. Want to survive? Give me half your fortune, and I'll add a year to your life.”
And so the world's most mysterious lifespan merchant is born.
A dying martial arts grandmaster: “Mr. Chen! I'll trade all the power I've cultivated in my life for ten more years!”
A fallen god from another world: “Mortal! Pledge your loyalty, and I shall grant you eternal life!”
Chen Fan gives a scornful smile. “You think you can talk about eternal life? Hand over the lifespans of those tens of thousands of believers in your divine kingdom. Then I'll consider letting you linger a few more days.”
Years later.
Reporter: “Mr. Chen, you hold the lives of everyone in your hands, and the world both fears and reveres you. What do you think life is?”
Chen Fan: “Life is the most precious resource in the universe.”
Reporter: “So we should cherish life and live it to the fullest?”
Chen Fan: “No. I mean it's the only currency I recognize.”
Originally it was very simple to solve one thing, but there were so many things on purpose that there was a lot of nonsense here. There were so many things that could be solved in one piece that it was meaningless and I had to drag ten of them out.
The rules are confusing, there are no natural trading rules, it all depends on the protagonist's preference [you can read it carefully], you can't understand it
