Lie Flat in a High-Martial World: I Hunt Down Evil Across a Thousand Years

[High Martial Arts + Cthulhu + Cyberpunk + Time-Space Pursuit + Bureau 749 + Cultivation Mythology]

In 2026, Li Xiuxuan hits one dead end after another while job hunting after graduation. He decides to return to his hometown and lie flat, farming and raising chickens, hoping only to live out his days in peace.

While renovating his old home, he accidentally uncovers a hidden chamber left behind by an ancestor. Inside, he finds the High Martial Arts Cultivation Scripture and his ancestor’s final words. His ancestor was once an unparalleled martial arts powerhouse. After being framed, he sealed away his legacy, hoping only that his descendants would live ordinary lives.

But the world has already changed beyond recognition. Mutated monsters appear and vanish without warning, bizarre mechs rampage through the human world, and the taint of evil gods blankets the land. Yet the monsters instinctively avoid Li Xiuxuan, who carries his ancestor’s true spiritual essence.

With time on his hands, he breaks his ancestor’s injunction and begins cultivating, only to suddenly unlock his memories of a past life!

In his previous life, he was Lu Shouyi, a top scientist who exposed the heinous conspiracy of foreign powers using technology from an extraterrestrial evil god to conduct human experiments. He was murdered to silence him. The criminal laboratory had already escaped through a portal to ancient China, roaming through the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties and even the warring states of the Shang and Zhou eras. It created viruses and mutated abominations while secretly tampering with the course of history!

As his cultivation advances, Li Xiuxuan glimpses the truth of time and space and joins forces with Bureau 749 to form a special operations squad.

From that moment on, a hunt spanning a thousand years begins!

Cybernetic implants face ancient martial arts, evil technology clashes with the divine powers of cultivation, and the whispers of evil gods plunge the human world into chaos.

When the enemy unleashes all the terrifying power it has accumulated over a thousand years into the modern world, an apocalyptic crisis descends.

The young man who once wanted to lie flat takes up his weapon, shatters the rifts in time and space, slays every outer-realm fiend, and protects the lights in countless homes!
