Only I Can Cultivate Immortality! What Is Mechanical Ascension?

Shen Ye, the best golden elixir genius in the seven thunder tribulations of the Great Wilderness, encountered a mutation during the tribulation. When his body died and his path disappeared, he swapped bodies with his counterpart in another world. When he woke up, he was lying in a white room filled with the smell of disinfectant, with the rapid "birdsong" in his ears - he couldn't understand a word of the common language of this world called "The Kingdom of the Sun". It wasn't until a series of strange events happened that he realized that his current identity was that of an abandoned son of the family, a "defective product" that everyone could laugh at. In this era when everyone is installing "mechanical cores" in their bodies and pursuing mechanical ascension, his existence itself is a mistake. Shen Ye soon discovered that no one in this world was cultivating immortality. The air is filled with a rich "origin of the world", which is an energy purer than spiritual energy, but no one can absorb it; no one can form a pill, and no one can overcome the tribulation. He is the only seeker in this steel forest. The problem is - he is not from this world. His fingers began to flicker and become transparent, like projections of poor signal; his brain shut down from time to time and fell into darkness. This is the world's rejection of him, a countdown to death called "boundary eclipse". If he does not build a foundation within half a year, he will be completely "deleted" from this world like a broken hologram. "Have you all mechanically ascended? Then I'll become an immortal." Shen Ye smiled freely and began his lonely path of seeking truth in this steel world where even flesh and blood were regarded as a burden.
