Longevity: I’ve Lived for a Million Years, and All I Want Is to Open a Shop

Ye Wangji has lived for more than three million years. He is the longest-lived being in the universe. He runs a general store selling relics left behind by Great Emperors, fragments of divine monuments, and maps of forbidden zones. When a prodigy from the Divine Clan comes to buy an Emperor's bone, he casually prices it at three spirit stones. When the Saintess of the Demon Clan begs him for guidance, he says, “Turn right outside and wait to die at the entrance to the forbidden zone.” Everyone thinks he is a good-for-nothing shopkeeper. Then the dark tide erupts ahead of schedule, and as the myriad races despair, Ye Wangji yawns, strolls into the Seven Great Forbidden Zones, and pulls out three hundred and sixty Myriad Dao Steles with his bare hands. “Don't panic. I've been wandering these forbidden zones for a million years. I could walk through them with my eyes closed.” The Great Emperors: “???” The Lords of the Forbidden Zones: “Boss, could you please stop coming? You're going to strip us bald...” When the new Emperor kneels and begs him to come out of retirement, Ye Wangji waves him away: “Don't be ridiculous. I haven't finished arranging my disciple's position as Great Emperor yet.” This is the story of an immortal who pretends to be a good-for-nothing, secretly raises countless Great Emperors, and eventually becomes the Dao Ancestor almost by accident.
