Jiang Bai awakens the “Reverse Cultivation System.” Telling people to give up cultivation, lie flat, and slack off instead earns him energy and unlocks the “Ultimate Slacker Technique.” While everyone else stays up all night grinding through the realms, he squats in a livestreamed martial arts class to post comments. One “Bro, stop practicing. It's bad for your health” sends the streamer into a breakdown on the spot, while the System rakes in Slacker Points.
From then on, the laziest fish in the entire cultivation world begins his unconventional campaign to talk people out of training: he persuades prodigies to quit, grandmasters to lie flat, and holy heirs to stop grinding. The more he persuades, the stronger he gets. While everyone else works themselves to the bone, he wins without lifting a finger. A fanatical cultivation organization brands him a heretic and puts the whole city on alert to hunt him down, never realizing that his philosophy of giving up is making an entire era question its sanity.
When the System's ultimate form, “Lie-Flat Domain,” unfolds, the prologue to a new age has already begun. Jiang Bai squats on a rooftop, munching on watermelon as he watches the city's cultivation fanatics collectively question their sanity. Then he adds, in no hurry at all, “I told you to stop practicing, but you just had to keep grinding.” The next second, the System's Slacker Points notification rings out across the entire age.
