The Immortal Lord Is Falling [Infinite]

[This story will no longer be updated. I may continue it someday if I get the chance.] [Dear readers, you can check out my newly started story in the same series, NPC He Doesn't Know He's Fishing [Infinite]: a long-haired beauty bottom who controls the battlefield and attacks from range x a ridiculously powerful, invincible, god-slaying top.] (A brief explanation: I've never wanted to give up on this story, but I've revised it several times and still haven't been satisfied. I also rushed into posting it on a whim at the beginning, without properly developing the outline or characters. In the end, I've decided to pause updates for now and learn from this experience. I'll make sure to think new stories through properly in the future.) (My apologies to everyone.) [Cold and powerful immortal bottom x Sickly, obsessive, unhinged top] At first, Xiang Shu thought he was just an ordinary transmigrator. Until the old celestial master of Lingcheng Mountain told him, “Fellow Daoist, it's time for you to descend the mountain.” So he descended the mountain. And then the apocalypse came to Earth. Xiang Shu: “...” What happens when a Golden Core cultivator gets dragged into an Infinite game? Xiang Shu: Thanks for asking. I'm at the Qi Refining stage now, so I have to start over. * [The Void Axis officially opens today. All of humanity is logging in.] [Our sincere thanks to everyone who has joined this celebration. Born to die, dead and reborn, in the Void Axis where death and survival walk side by side, let us all have fun until we die!] [This is humanity's final salvation, bestowed by the gods.] On the opening day of the high-end virtual game Void Universe, Earth's space warped and collapsed. Countless parallel worlds intertwined, and Earth entered its final age. All of humanity logged into the game, clearing endless instances to earn points and qualify to survive. Slaughter, escape, ghosts, human nature, dangers at every turn. But Xiang Shu, who had regained the chance to cultivate, thrived in this world. With his nascent soul outside his body and spiritual energy flowing in harmony with the world, this entirely different method of cultivation offered him endless new possibilities. But it still wasn't enough. If he wanted to survive in this Infinite world, where death lurked at every turn... He had to become a god. * Transmigrating from a cultivation world into modern society, then getting dragged into an Infinite game during Earth's apocalypse: Xiang Shu knew his life sounded absurd, but he took it all in stride. He cleared stages diligently, played the game enthusiastically, and spent every day hustling for points to buy a house. Life was exciting and stressful, but full of promise. Xiang Shu was satisfied. And then... Someone made an imposing entrance into his “perfectly ordinary” journey through the Infinite world. Laughing and cursing, erratic, cold and indifferent, vicious and cruel... The players in the game had endless derogatory words for him. But to Xiang Shu, he was nothing like that. He would bury his head in Xiang Shu's arms and act cute, come crying to him about how much it hurt when he was injured, prepare all kinds of little surprises to cheer him up, and beam all day over a single word of praise from him... Xiang Shu: “He's very well-behaved.” The players and monsters: “...If your eyes are bad, get them checked.” In the end, Xiang Shu finally understood that nothing in this world was ever truly an accident. Someone had crossed Hell with his bare hands, dying thousands upon thousands of times, just to give Xiang Shu the chance to become “human.” Also known as: #Cultivating Immortality in the Infinite World#; #The Scumbag Disciple Who Lies for Money, Body, and Heart, and His Beautiful Master#; and #Those Two Bastards Who Keep Blowing Up Instances# Theme: No matter how hard each challenge is, you can overcome it one step at a time.
