An Unknown Newly Graduated Immortal

Ling Zhouchen, female, graduated from Biluo Academy, a top cultivation sect, as an outstanding disciple in the sword cultivation department and a successful graduate of the Heartless Dao. At the age of two hundred, she attained the Dao and ascended to immortality.

After years of arduous cultivation, she finally became an immortal. Naively, she thought a wonderful future awaited her. Then she actually became an immortal.

At various immortal bureaus and palaces:

1: "The internship pays 2,500 immortal coins. Can you accept that?"

2: "Do you have an immortal partner? Oh, the Heartless Dao. Do you plan to find one later?"

3: "Six days on, one day off. No meals or accommodation provided. The job site is in the wilderness."

4: "A woman? We only hire men."

5: "You just ascended? Sorry, we don't hire freshly ascended immortals."

How many people ascended this year? Could half the world's population just die? I don't care which half.

Ling Zhouchen wiped away a tear and finally decided to take the immortal civil service exam. The only way forward was to get a government job!

To survive, Ling Zhouchen also joined a small organization called the Third Watch Office. She took jobs during the day and crammed for exams late into the night.

"Did you hear? There's a freshly ascended immortal in the office."

"Yeah. She named her sword 'Hold On.' Whenever someone attacks, she says, 'Hold on,' then catches them off guard and stabs them in the gallbladder!"

And so Ling Zhouchen began her life as a corporate drudge at the Third Watch Office.

Until one day, she saw divine punishment on a coworker's body and learned that this was an organization of sinful immortals!

Ling Zhouchen: I quit!

Them: Your salary's over ten thousand this month.

Ling Zhouchen: I can stick it out a little longer.

Maybe she'd quit after passing the exam. She'd just bought Walnut Thirteen's course, and she was broke.

Everyone at the Third Watch Office has a past, and Ling Zhouchen is no exception. On her missions, she saw too much sorrow and was powerless to help.

Just like she had once been.

The world is merciless, fate is unjust, and every life is different.

Now the divine artifact, the Bell of Returning to Origins, can end all life when rung, and Ling Zhouchen has become the key to sounding it.

The antagonist grabbed her hand and said earnestly:

"In this world, the rich feast on meat and wine while the poor go hungry. The path to office is closed to those who seek it, and making a living is beyond their reach. The gap between people is vast."

"Why not destroy the whole world with me? Everyone can die together!"

"Then, at last, all under heaven will be equal!"

If the button that would destroy the world appeared before you, would you press it or not?

Ling Zhouchen: Uh...

The female lead has no love interest and no romance plot. The story leans toward an ensemble cast.

Theme: The world is cruel, but we must keep hope in our hearts
