I’ve Already Become an Immortal, So Why Is the Spiritual Energy Only Just Reviving?

In his sophomore year of college, Ji Qing awakened a cultivation System.

The System told him it was now 2056. Spiritual energy was about to return, heaven and earth were on the verge of upheaval, humanity would evolve, demons and monsters would run rampant, ancient clans would emerge, all things would ascend, and the path to immortality would open.

But Ji Qing looked up at the utterly uneventful world around him. "But it's only 2026..."

And so things suddenly took a strange turn.

[Three talented cultivators (your roommates) have been detected nearby. Side quest triggered: "Stand Out from the Crowd." Establish your position as their leader. Reward: one Marrow-Cleansing Pill.]

[Your Myriad Spirits Cauldron (dorm-room hot pot) has attracted the attention of high-ranking fellow cultivators (the dorm management committee). Side quest triggered: "Protect the Treasure." Reward: a breathing technique for absorbing and circulating energy...]

[A swarm of bloodthirsty demon insects (mosquitoes) has invaded. Side quest triggered: "Exterminate the Demons." Reward: 20 low-grade first-tier spirit stones.]

Thirty years later, when spiritual energy truly returned and a golden age dawned, humanity evolved and order collapsed; demons and monsters appeared, watching hungrily; ancient clans descended, eager to show what they could do; and ancient powerhouses awoke one after another from their slumber, sharpening their blades...

Then they were left dumbfounded.

"What do you mean, we're too late?"

"What do you mean, someone has already become an immortal?"

"What do you mean, if we won't listen to reason, you know a little immortal magic too?"
