Chen Jianchuan transmigrates into a cultivation world where even the dead can be "invited back."
At the Spirit-Inviting Ceremony, others summon their ancestors, the sages of old, and elders who died in battle.
When his turn comes, the one who steps out of the lamp is his twenty-one-year-old self.
Covered in blood, with only half his life left.
The twenty-one-year-old Chen Jianchuan tells him just one thing:
"You have three months before they refine you into a human pill."
From that day on, Chen Jianchuan begins investigating the date of his own death.
Spirit summoning, consuming qi, cultivation through seven realms, debts left behind by the dead, lives fought over by the living... The higher he climbs, the more he realizes that the "immortals" of this world may be nothing like anyone imagines.
And the most dangerous question remains unanswered:
Did his future self come back to save him, or to make all of this happen?
A gem struck! The premise is incredibly original: while others summon ancestral spirits, the protagonist summons his bloodied, dying future self. The line, "Three months until I'm refined into a human pill," immediately sets the stage for suspense. A sense of destiny and suspense intertwine as the protagonist investigates his impending death, revealing layers of the world's secrets.
