Unemployed Gu Yiming has a small quirk: whenever he passes a QR code, he can't resist scanning it for a little freebie.
One day, he casually scanned an advertisement on the street and won the only SSS-tier talent in Nine Desolations: [Lifespan Evolution].
By spending his lifespan, he can evolve equipment and cultivation arts without limit.
While everyone else explores the wilderness, fights monsters, and gathers resources, he burns through his years to grow stronger with every step.
Cultivators from the mortal world aren't allowed to join sects? Then he'll carve out a path with his own hands.
The Blackstone Alliance picks a fight, local cultivators watch warily, and even the Heavenly Mandate Bureau sees him as a mistake in the world.
Every ounce of strength comes at the cost of his lifespan.
Standing at the peak of the Nine Desolations, Gu Yiming smiles faintly:
"Trading my life for strength? Worth it."
