In his previous life, the protagonist was one of the Ten Immortal Emperors of the cultivation world. After obtaining a rare treasure, he was ambushed and killed. Reborn as a teenager, he discovers he has taken over the body of an abandoned son with a completely ruined spiritual root, cast aside by his family.
But the memories of his past life as an Immortal Emperor reveal a shocking secret: the “laws of heaven” governing this world are a flawed system. Cultivation arts have bugs, pills have backdoors, and formations have logical loopholes. What others see as insurmountable barriers are all exploitable loopholes in his eyes.
Others overcome bottlenecks through painstaking cultivation. He does it by exploiting bugs: using an incorrect incantation at the instant lightning strikes to trigger “System protection,” or forcing an upgrade by creating a “rules conflict” with mutually contradictory cultivation arts.
