This World Is Strange

System + eldritch cultivation + ruin exploration After transmigrating to a cultivation world, Su Zhi had no way to cultivate and no powerful connections. His only support was a malfunctioning System and the three abilities it gave him: spatial cutting, matter disintegration, and probability collapse. A coin toss decided whether he stayed or left. “Heads, and this trip goes smoothly. Tails, and there's no coming back.” He'd been flipping coins for ten years, and somehow he was still alive. The System's mission: find three people chosen by fate and plant seeds of destiny in their bodies. Mission progress: 1/3. Stuck there for ten years. Because the second person chosen by fate was waiting for him on an eerie plain. It was a plain from which no one returned, and home to an utterly bizarre factory. There, Su Zhi encountered an organization called the Heavenly Gate. They believed that immortal husks were signposts, and that celestial beings would come to take their followers away when the Great Calamity arrived. Later, they approached Su Zhi and asked him to help dissect the “remains of an immortal.” Of the six people who took part in the dissection, five died. Su Zhi was the only survivor. Because he discovered that the corpse was still alive. It was waiting for true death. “Ding! The Host is facing a certain-death situation.” “System awakening...” The coin flew into the air. Heads: live. Tails: die. Landing on its edge: the System advises you to... Run.
