When quantum physics PhD Li Wudao’s laboratory explodes, he transmigrates into the world of immortal cultivation, where he becomes a good-for-nothing with no spiritual roots, hated by everyone.
While others spend half a month fumbling around to draw in spiritual energy, he gets it done in three days with molecular kinetic theory. While others face a near-certain death during tribulation, he builds a Faraday cage and uses the lightning tribulation as a power bank. The only thing it does is mess up his hair.
Fireball spell? Not as hot as an undergraduate thermite experiment. Bewitching illusion? He finds a couple of logical flaws and tears it apart. From alchemy and talisman-making to formations, he applies math and science to overwhelm the competition, transforming the cultivation world’s cottage workshops into industrial assembly lines.
The sect’s genius threatens him? Li Wudao beats him senseless with a set of military exercises until he questions his whole life. An assassin organization tries to ambush him? A little lime powder, a trap, and some anesthetic leave them completely traumatized. From menial disciple to leader of the righteous alliance, he puts down the demonic path, explores secret realms, and takes on six great saints. In the end, a single logical paradox crashes the Heavenly Dao.
The entire cultivation world is stunned. So the Great Dao we’ve spent thousands of years comprehending is just physics and chemistry?
The Heavenly Dao sobs: “Get rid of this bug! You’ve rewritten all my underlying code!”
Li Wudao: “What’s the rush? Cultivation is just the warm-up. The sea of stars in the depths of chaos is the real destination.”
