Beyond the Algorithm: Variable Zero

The civilization of cultivating immortals has flourished for tens of thousands of years. Major sects compete for hegemony, geniuses emerge in large numbers, and mortals look up to them. But behind all this, there is a secret: The entire world of immortality is controlled by a set of ancient destiny algorithms called "Tianheng". It was written by an ancient power and runs to this day. The birth of genius, the rise and fall of sects, the victory or defeat of every war, the life and death of every monk - all are the established output results of the algorithm. On the surface, this is "the will of heaven"; in essence, it is a sophisticated harvesting machine. The collapse of spiritual energy is the active clearing after the Tianheng algorithm completes a round of data collection. This is not the first time that the civilization of cultivating immortals has experienced collapse - it has been reset six times. Every time, when someone gets closer to the truth, the algorithm is cleared and restarted, and everything starts over again. The protagonist Lu Ling is the only error in the algorithm that cannot be predicted - a BUG.
