Others transmigrate to cultivate immortality and defy fate.
Chen Aliang transmigrates only to become a wage slave for the Demon Venerable in his sea of consciousness. Every morning, his lifespan gets deducted, no matter what. If he doesn't kill, he'll simply wait to die!
The System absolutely refuses to support idle people.
To survive in the cannibalistic Divine Capital with his eight-year-old, money-loving little sister, he takes playing it safe and being a sneaky opportunist to the extreme.
By day, he's the most cowardly, low-ranking patrolman in the Divine Capital's guard force, smiling at everyone and acting meek and submissive.
"Sir, I'm just a good-for-nothing. Could you please let me off?"
By night, he roams the entire Divine Capital, cracking the experts over the head with a battered, chipped woodcutter's blade!
"At the Lantern-Burning Realm? That's ten days of life. At the Mountain-Climbing Realm? At least a month... Damn, it'll have to be you. Time for me to top up my lifespan!"
Heaven's will wants to purge the world?
He knocks out a holy son with a club, then sells the sect's protective array to the black market!
The emperor treats him like a disposable pawn?
He turns around and carries an assassin's corpse to the imperial palace to extort a fortune!
Then imperial rule collapses, and demons run wild.
The gods and Buddhas in the heavens look down upon the mortal world, intent on erasing every unpredictable variable.
Just as everyone thinks this lowly ant is doomed...
Chen Aliang sighs, takes his sister's hand in his left, and swings his battered woodcutter's blade with his right, cleaving Heaven's laws in two!
"I used to knock you all out because I didn't want to scare the kids."
"You really want to push me, huh?"
"Fine! Don't rush. I'll take you on one at a time!"
"You walking bundles of lifespan aren't getting away!"
In his sea of consciousness, the ancient Demon Venerable who had once planned to possess him stares at the shattered laws of Heaven, trembling in terror:
"What a calamity! I only asked you to scrape together a little more life... Did you seriously chop Heaven's will up like vegetables?!"
