People cultivate immortality in pursuit of eternal life.
But Lu Guixu saw something he was never meant to see
A number hung above every cultivator's head.
[Maturity: 99%]
[Harvest countdown: 1 day]
Three days later, every Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect vanished.
No tribulation. No fighting. They were as if they had never existed.
Only then did he understand
Cultivation had never been a path to immortality.
It was a carefully engineered farm.
The weak were eliminated, and the strong were forced to mature.
Everyone would eventually be harvested.
And above the Heavenly Dao, “someone” was watching.
Some were terrified. Some fled. Some knelt and begged to live.
Lu Guixu chose to
Destroy it all.
But as he tried to tear open the truth,
he discovered that someone had long been watching all living beings from a higher place.
No name. No known origins.
They called him
“The Observer.”
He never stopped the harvest,
but he was always on the path to ascension.
He left behind only one sentence:
“If escape is impossible, then become the rules.”
As the truth was torn open, layer by layer,
and the world began to collapse,
one man sought to cut down the Heavenly Dao,
while another sought to enter it.
And this world, harvested countless times over
this time, perhaps it really could be rewritten.
