   This one definitely fits the bill; the logic is meticulous. It mentions a world reboot, which isn't about rebirth, but rather the overwriting of memory threads. My explanation isn't very good; please read the novel for details. 😆😆😆

   The protagonist doesn't want to cultivate immortality; his dream is to make money and live a carefree life. But a rat lives in his head, claiming to be a treasure-hunting celestial being, and insists he cultivate. The rat wants to return to the immortal realm, while the protagonist wants to make money. One pulls him forward, the other drags him backward. The key is, making money and cultivating immortality follow the same path. So the protagonist is forced to work: cultivating, scavenging for bargains, scavenging for land, and incidentally becoming stronger. The rat is foul-mouthed but reliable, the protagonist is lazy but has principles. Their daily life is all about bickering—the rat calls him an "ant," he calls the rat a "dead rat," and they can't live without each other. The author is very good at writing slice-of-life scenes. It's not the kind of padded slice-of-life; it's information-rich. You might think he's just filling space, but he's actually planting seeds. As you read, you'll discover—that seemingly insignificant detail was actually foreshadowing; that casual remark was actually a flag. The author doesn't play by the rules; you can't guess what will happen next. But you'll want to see what happens next.

   The setting is novel, spanning multiple worlds. The protagonist doesn't feel frustrated or argumentative from beginning to end; it's more of a slice-of-life story.
