Lin Chen transmigrates to the world of cultivation and becomes the lowest-ranking menial servant of the Qingyun Sect. His spiritual root test labels him a dud.
Everyone mocks him, saying he has no hope of ever cultivating immortality. That is, until the moment his mother's keepsake is stolen and his last shred of dignity is shattered.
Blood stains the puppet, and a cold, mechanical voice sounds in his mind:
[Invincible Puppet System bound]
[Novice Gift Pack: E-rank Puppet, Shadow Guard. Combat strength: Peak Foundation Establishment]
[Current mission: Kill the person who stole your spirit stones. Reward: S-rank blueprint fragment]
That night, the limbs of those who had bullied and humiliated him were silently snapped by a pair of hands without a trace of warmth.
At the sect tournament, he hauled out a pile of scrap metal and assembled it on the spot. His self-destructing puppet blasted the Outer Sect's top genius into a cripple, leaving the entire crowd speechless.
When a thousand sect members came to silence him, he opened his spatial storage, unleashing an army of three thousand puppets. The weakest were at Foundation Establishment, and the strongest at Nascent Soul.
An emissary from the Spirit Realm descended and destroyed several of his Nascent Soul puppets with a single palm strike, then arrogantly demanded his submission.
Lin Chen smiled. He melted all his rare treasures into one crucible and forged the "World Destroyer." One cannon blast shattered the Heavenly Gate, killing the emissary, who had reached the Great Ascension stage, before the eyes of the entire continent.
After ascending to the Immortal Realm, he was wanted by the divine kingdom. He retaliated by refining the Immortal Emperor's remains into a puppet, then smashed the divine kingdom's capital into the depths of the earth with a single hammer blow.
At last, the divine race unleashed a world-ending divine punishment. He looked up and said:
"You're gods? Then you're the finest additions to my collection."
This is the story of a man called a good-for-nothing who uses countless puppets to turn every god and Buddha of the Three Realms into figurines.
Why do the protagonists of fairy tales always start out as the meanest handyman?
