Others cultivate immortality by relying on spiritual energy. I cultivate immortality by “stealing.”
Spiritual energy has run dry, and the sinister path flourishes. While the entire cultivation world worships gods and makes offerings to the uncanny in hopes of protection, Lin Chen awakens to the truth: he can see what this world really looks like.
The gods and Buddhas filling the sky are all man-eating monsters.
What people call good fortune is merely a trap for harvesting souls.
What they call ascension is simply wrapping yourself up and delivering yourself to the dinner table.
If you all want to eat me, then I'll eat you first.
He devours uncanny seeds, binds fierce spirits, and turns evil entities to his own use.
While everyone else kneels before the uncanny, trembling in fear, Lin Chen steps over the bones of countless uncanny creatures and climbs, one step at a time, to the end of the heavens.
He looks at the gods seated high above and smiles:
“I hear you can't die?”
“Funny. I specialize in killing things that can't die.”
This is the story of an ordinary man who becomes an immortal by eating the uncanny, then topples the entire altar of the gods.
