Lou Guancheng transmigrates to the world of cultivation and becomes a little snake in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Demons and monsters run rampant in the mountains, and survival is difficult.
He meets Chen Bai, the last dragon in the world. They come to know and love each other, become cultivation partners, and spend centuries together.
One day, an immortal descends on a crane, radiant with righteous energy and rainbow banners, and offers to guide Chen Bai to ascension.
Though reluctant to part, Lou Guancheng still sends Chen Bai on his way. Chen Bai promises, "Wait for me to come back."
Lou Guancheng waits eight hundred years.
.
A demon's lifespan is limited. Sensing that his end is near, Lou Guancheng resolutely sneaks onto the Ascension Platform. The love oath they made years ago becomes his tracking device. He will find the heartless man who abandoned him and ask what sort of carefree, immortal life he has been enjoying all these eight hundred years!

On the ninth heaven stands the Dragon-Binding Pagoda. In the kitchen, a ten-zhang cauldron of boiling oil bubbles away. Immortal handmaidens carry jade vessels of dragon blood, and immortal weapons carve up a dragon's heart.
A chain pierces Chen Bai's dragon body. Bound to the Dragon-Locking Pillar, he has his flesh cut and blood drained day and night.
His soul is on the verge of destruction. Unable to keep his promise, he clings to life with his last breath. When Lou Guancheng arrives alone, he manages to gasp out, "Run!"
Lou Guancheng snatches him away, evading wave after wave of pursuers. At last, thunderbolts rain down from the highest heavens, and the two embrace as they are burned to ashes.
"Ding! Host's life-threatening crisis detected. Activating [Devouring Evolution System]."
In the Ten Thousand Mountains, Lou Guancheng opens his slit pupils. The System has helped him be reborn.
He swallows a gray bird singing in a tree, and all humanity vanishes from his eyes.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have devoured a tiny life-form. Evolution points +1."
Unlimited devouring, unlimited evolution!
He will find Chen Bai and raise him.
Gods and Buddhas of the heavens, this time, the game isn't over yet.
Sooner or later, he will...

He is the last dragon in the world. His parents and their entire species have long since turned to dust. After countless ages, the spiritual energy of the cultivation world has dissipated, and this world can no longer give birth to another true dragon.
He curls up inside his dragon egg, nurturing his soul.
Then, one day, he begins absorbing all kinds of life essence. These heavenly treasures nourish his nearly depleted body, and he gradually senses a great snake coiled nearby.
The little dragon nibbles on his tail inside the egg. According to the knowledge passed down to him, the only ones who would care for him selflessly are family... or a cultivation partner.
Is this great snake courting him?
The little dragon fretfully shakes his head. He's still an egg. Can he even mate?
