Stardust Seeks the Dao

Guang Xingchen, a young wasteland scavenger, unexpectedly fuses an ancient cultivator's jade slip with a scrapped AI. Using algorithms to calculate cultivation techniques, he forges a path to immortality through science.

The cultivation world conceals a dark truth: surviving tribulation does not mean ascending. It exposes your coordinates to the sea of stars. The so-called Immortal Realm is merely a hunting ground for advanced civilizations.

Once an ordinary man who only wanted to stay alive, he now faces the harvesters of the myriad heavens with a scavenger's crowbar in hand: When I was weak, reason could not protect me. Now, I will protect reason.
