   You think this is urban fantasy? No, this is a massive soap opera combining a "Demon Lord Training Plan" and a "Repentance Pill for Exes."

He absorbs lifespans, imparts cultivation techniques, and woos various genuinely interested women, breaking through to new heights with each cultivation session. They say I'm greedy, wanting both beauty and the world—I laugh: I cultivate karma, who says I can't have it all?
