Others transmigrate into the world of immortal cultivation. I transmigrated into a world of legal education.
Chen Mo transmigrates into the world of immortal cultivation as an insignificant passerby, and from the start nearly becomes a blood sacrifice to a demonic cultivator. At the brink of life and death, a book called the Universal Code of All Worlds is poured into his mind. It contains no invincible cultivation techniques, only page after page of dense legal statutes.
He sentences the demonic cultivator to death according to the law, and from then on sets out on a path of no return.
In this world, the strong take all, and the survival of the fittest is the law of nature. But he insists on reason: he helps a young woman recover the spirit fungus stolen from her, wins a lawsuit over a spirit pet on behalf of a rogue cultivator, and teaches low-ranking cultivators what a “contract” is and what counts as “evidence.”
But those who insist on reason are the first to bleed.
A bully sets fire to his home. He saves the people inside, but is gravely injured himself. A rogue cultivator he once helped turns around and betrays him just to save his own life. He takes a Golden Core elder’s palm strike head-on, spitting blood but refusing to fall, just to prove that the law is not a fist.
He takes on a disciple, who is bribed by the sect and uses the rules he was taught to draft a “legal enslavement contract.” In court, the disciple says to him, “Master, the law cannot save the weak. You were wrong.”
He spreads the law, and the sect sends assassins to massacre a town. More than a dozen civilian cultivators die before his eyes.
The people he protected have their spiritual roots destroyed, and one of them collapses in his arms.
At last, the guardian of the old order intervenes in person, blocks the Heavenly Dao, and makes the code disappear. Chen Mo is left alone, facing a tide of enemies.
He does not flee, hide, or fight back.
He simply stands at the entrance to the town and reads the final statute, word by word.
“The strong must not kill indiscriminately, and the weak must not be trampled underfoot. This is the law.”
A palm strike descends, and his soul shatters. But before he dies, he has already inscribed the complete code of laws into a primordial stone at the heart of the world, leaving it for “those who come after.”
(A few little twists along the way…
