If I had 500, I’d become an invincible coding machine!
On his first day at school, Xu Xiangyuan discovers that his roommate is none other than the overpowered hero Zhou Run. He thinks he’s hit the jackpot, never imagining that even after he turns into a ghost, he’ll still be unable to get away from this man.
Xu Xiangyuan was transmigrated as a child into an overpowered cultivation novel called Records of Swallowing the Heavens. In this ridiculous world, he’s not only poor, but also a talentless jinx.
He manages to grow up to eighteen in a remote wasteland that never even appeared in the book. This world is full of twists and turns, with danger lurking everywhere, so Xu Xiangyuan embarks on the path of cultivation just to stay alive.
The pressure to survive as a cultivator is immense, and Xu Xiangyuan nearly dies several times. Then his younger sister suddenly falls gravely ill. Watching the overpowered hero beside him grow stronger, with his spirit stones and resources increasing exponentially, Xu Xiangyuan decides to take a desperate gamble before the destined love interest shows up: he’ll seduce the hero.
While he’s bathing, a giant centipede crawls onto Xu Xiangyuan’s leg and scares him half to death. Forgetting everything else, he jumps out of the tub and clings to Zhou Run, stark naked.
Although Xu Xiangyuan is promptly flung to the ground, he notices the boy’s reddened ears.
This isn’t the kindhearted, righteous hero type. Zhou Run is cold on the outside and even colder within. Xu Xiangyuan had thought seducing him was hopeless, but now he sees a glimmer of hope.
Zhou Run is bathing when Xu Xiangyuan hears something he shouldn’t. He gathers his courage and barges in.
After that absurd night, Xu Xiangyuan looks at the man sleeping soundly beside him, amazed that he actually pulled it off.
Even if it isn’t right, shouldn’t he at least make sure he survives?
The means of getting ahead were never pretty, and Zhou Run doesn’t truly love him. To avoid becoming a disposable side character, Xu Xiangyuan keeps his head down and does his best to get his hands on resources and spirit stones.
He’ll stop once Zhou Run reaches the Golden Core stage and can cure his sister, and once he’s saved up five hundred thousand spirit stones.
Then he’ll buy a big house somewhere safe, go back to his hometown to bring his mother and family to live with him, and settle down to a quiet, ordinary life.

After parting at Yumen, Xu Xiangyuan thinks he and Zhou Run will never have anything to do with each other again.
He isn’t too heartbroken. His life is already much better than before. With his Foundation Establishment cultivation, any sect would treat him well, and his family are all still alive and well.
Xu Xiangyuan joins the Thorn Sect and buys a spirit boat. He has a steady job and can even invite friends out to sea for a drink now and then.
His days are carefree and easy, almost like those of a little immortal. He’s nearly buried in the past the brilliant genius whose name resounded across the entire Bogula Continent.
Until one day, Xu Xiangyuan gets drunk. Black clouds roll over the sea, but no rain falls.
He watches with bleary eyes as lightning strikes. A dark figure, with the stars above and the wind beneath his feet, appears before him like a ghost.
The fish scatter, and the seabirds dare not come near.
An Emperor-Ascendant, a mighty cultivator at the imperial level.
Xu Xiangyuan looks up suddenly, the overwhelming pressure making it hard to breathe.
“Zhou Run.” Xu Xiangyuan’s breath catches. He stares at him, bewildered.
“Mm,” Zhou Run answers softly.
“Is there something urgent you need me for?” Xu Xiangyuan asks.
“I came to find you.” The corner of Zhou Run’s mouth lifts ever so slightly as he presses his knuckles until they turn white.
Back then, Zhou Run had already decided: if he could claw his way out of the abyss alive, he would claim Xu Xiangyuan as his reward.
