“My name is Chen Changsheng, but immortality was never what I wanted.”
After dying and coming back to life seven times, I went from a mass grave to the world of the living.
I was once a night watchman, a farmer, a doctor, a blacksmith, a constable, a mine slave, a wandering cultivator, and a renowned teacher...
I studied alchemy, talismans, formations, artifact crafting, spirit plants, beast taming, puppetry, and spiritual cuisine...
I was once famous far and wide, and I also returned to the dust.
Only later did I understand:
Immortality isn't about living longer, but about living with greater meaning.
The Great Dao isn't high above the heavens, but right here in the everyday world.
This is the story of a seeker of the Dao who ultimately became “human.”
Dedicated to everyone searching for radiance in an ordinary life.
