Lu Chen, a restorer of ancient books, dies suddenly after staying up all night repairing a damaged Song Dynasty manuscript, then transmigrates into a world polluted by "Turbidity."
Everyone here cultivates, but the more they cultivate, the crazier they become. Turbidity seeps into the laws of the world, turning cultivators into monsters, while purity becomes heresy.
He cannot cultivate. Spiritual energy retaliates as soon as it enters his body. His only reliance is a sliver of a fragment that the Heavenly Dao severed before it was corrupted, transformed into a battered book with missing pages: the Simplest System.
Slay Turbidity beasts, decipher damaged classics, purify the source of Turbidity, and receive an infusion of the Dao's source. Each step brings him to a new realm.
Others cultivate spiritual energy. He cultivates books.
Others pursue complicated techniques. He simplifies everything along the way.
Eighteen major realms, three thousand intermediate worlds, and countless Heavenly Master texts scattered across the realms.
His task is to start with a damaged manuscript and purify everything, step by step, until he repairs the corrupted Heavenly Dao.
"How could you mess up a book this badly?" Lu Chen, former restorer of ancient books, current repairman of the Heavenly Dao.
