Gu Changsheng transmigrates to the cultivation world, only to be trapped for a hundred thousand years by a strange curse: he cannot die. The loneliness of eternal life leaves him longing only for release. He leapt into the Well of Gods and Demons, but his immortal divinity purified it. He braved the Ancient Thunder Pool, but drained it dry and turned it into ordinary land. He even let the current Emperor attack him with his strongest move, only for the Emperor’s Dao foundation to shatter while Gu Changsheng emerged without a scratch... Just as he was losing all hope, a System finally arrived.
[Ding! The Host’s intense desire to die has been detected. The “Unable to Die Despite Trying” System has been successfully bound!]
[Whenever an attempt at self-destruction fails, you will receive a reward based on its difficulty!]
Gu Changsheng’s eyes lit up. He had found hope of release! To die, he joined a failing, low-ranked sect, hoping to get his hands on the legendary Soul-Severing Dagger. To die, he charged straight into his opponent’s killing move during the sect tournament, only to accidentally trigger a protective divine aura granted by his reward and kill his opponent instead, earning a reputation as the sect’s prized prodigy. To die, he ventured alone into a forbidden demon-beast territory, hoping to be devoured by the Beast Emperor. Instead, he accidentally stepped on and killed the Beast Emperor’s son. The enraged Beast Emperor came for him, only to kowtow and pledge its allegiance...
The sect members said, “Senior Brother Gu has been hiding his true abilities. He risked his life to save the sect from disaster. He is a model for us all!”
The righteous leaders said, “Fellow Daoist Gu is a paragon of virtue. He shielded us from an apocalypse. His actions are a blessing to all living beings!”
The demonic overlords said, “That thing is an indescribable monster! Run!”
Looking at the ever-growing pile of divine artifacts and immortal techniques, and at the followers kneeling all around him, Gu Changsheng gazed up at the sky and sighed: “I really... just want to die!”
