    "Alas, that old man, he really died at the worst possible time!" The boy, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, sat at the entrance of the mortuary, sighing weakly. Though his tone was somewhat flippant, his eyes were red and slightly moist. "Ah, old man..." The boy sighed again, finally unable to hold back his tears, which rolled down his cheeks. His sorrow was palpable. Just as the tears fell, a pretty little girl with two braids approached the boy and handed him a golden longevity lock. The boy hurriedly wiped away his tears. "Brother, let's sell this and buy Grandpa a coffin?" "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? This is a mortuary, do we lack coffins?" "Quickly put it away, don't let anyone see it." "Okay!" The little girl nodded and stuffed the longevity lock into her clothes. "Brother, is this lock really that important? Grandpa and you are both like this, afraid of being seen."

    The world of immortal cultivation is, in reality, a giant slaughterhouse. Cultivators toil tirelessly, only to be secretly fattened up as food. The protagonist, after countless hardships, finally reaches the Immortal Emperor realm, believing himself invincible. However, on the day of his coronation, the cruel truth is revealed: his fellow disciples are brutally slaughtered and devoured. His illusion of ascension shatters instantly; it was all just an absurd joke of a captive breeding ground.
