As a demon lord, Shen Lingzhi was the nightmare of countless cultivators.

Remember the agony of having her bones pulled out and her heart carved up, her spiritual root forcibly ripped from her body? Even with a useless physique, she still cultivated her way to the pinnacle of the demonic path. Her methods were so cruel and ruthless that countless cultivators trembled in fear.

In the end, an old Daoist bound her with karmic merit and sealed her in the Abyss.

Who would have thought that when she opened her eyes, she'd be back in the beginner's village?

After painful reflection, Shen Lingzhi set a goal for her new life: if you can't beat them, join them!

Swordsmanship and Daoist arts? Practice!

Alchemy, artifact crafting, talismans, and formations? Study them!

What if the sects monopolize the Daoist traditions? Try installing some exoskeleton implants! Reversing aging and joining a sect all over again is no longer a dream~

What if the great clans monopolize the cultivation techniques? A bloodline modification surgery kit, perfect for traveling and physically taking over someone's body to steal their legacy~

A demon lord reborn and back to work: is it really so strange that I have my own special way of destroying the world?

In an age where mortals, cultivators, immortals, gods, and machines coexist, Baiyujing controls the workings of the entire Wuxu world. Twelve suns rise in the north and set in the south, feeding on the flesh and blood of the countless living beings on this land to create a scam called "cultivation." They call it "Flesh Buddha."

Amid the endless white of your homeland's wailing, would you become a man-eating Buddha, or a demon who destroys the world?
