After a Thousand Years of Cultivation, How Did Zombies Take Over Earth?

What? I gave up the chance to become an Immortal Emperor and came back to Earth, and you’re telling me it’s been overrun by zombies?

As soon as Xie Xuanji returns to Earth, all he sees are ruins. He thinks, “Is Syrian-style architecture the latest trend on Earth?” Then someone in rags, with pus oozing from their face, lunges at him. Seeing the bizarre outfit, Xie Xuanji assumes the person is just being enthusiastic and opens his arms too. His arm stings, and he slaps the person in retaliation. The strange figure goes flying, and its head shoots off in the opposite direction.

“Oh no, oh no. I’m a mighty cultivator at the Body Integration stage. Am I really going to end up in jail and live off the state the moment I get back?”
