The Heavenly Dao asked, "Would you rather start with only a dog, work hard to level up, and reach the pinnacle of life three thousand years later? Or start fully equipped, slowly lose everything over three thousand years, and fall from being the ruler of all creation to a delicate flower at everyone's mercy?"
The protagonist said, "I'll start fully equipped."
The Heavenly Dao said, "All right... Huh? Wait, what did you say?"
Basically, it's the story of a beautiful, narcissistic narcissist who gets a temporary cheat that lets him look down on the world. He beats the powerful and the heavenly chosen of his era until they kneel and submit, then frantically builds his own kingdom. But when the cheat expires, he turns into a delicate flower and gets devoured by the heavenly chosen who came seeking revenge.
A regression-in-power story. A self-admiring narcissist bottom X a combative, ruthless top forced to submit
