When you grow up in this world, you learn to question one thing above all else. Our existence… What is the inherent meaning of it? What is our purpose?

Life can be the cruelest thing for one moment and unexpectedly generous the next, repeating this cycle without end. Always remaining indifferent, like a wheel spinning without reason or intent, landing wherever it happens to fall. Yet it is precisely this indifference and the absence of inherent meaning or purpose in life, that can be seen as beautiful, because it leaves meaning and purpose in your hands alone, something you must create for yourself.

But what happens when a man has become so broken that he becomes blind to this truth? 

Instead, he has convinced himself of the madness, that existence itself is a flaw, an impurity that should never have been. What follows next is not understanding, but destruction. He no longer seeks meaning, purpose or the trival vanities that life offers. Instead, he seeks erasure, not only of himself, but of all things.

That man is Wu Zhe.

He is a man who has lived two lives, one as a mortal on Earth, the other as the strongest being in Yunluo. Feared by all, entire realms united to bring an end to his madness. Alone, he stood against them all, facing the collective might of countless realm, and in the end, he perished.

But death was not his end.

Reborn into yet another world, he rises once more, casting aside all restraints. Through any means necessary, no matter how vile he must become, he pursues a single, unimaginable goal, the annihilation of all existence.

Witness a man consumed by his own madness, slaughtering his way to his heaven.

"Yes? The market where you sell illegal and stolen goods?"


"Separate the stolen carcasses you gathered from my camp."


Huo Jian did so, separating everything.


Wu Zhe suddenly meditated, absorbing the life force from the many carcasses before him.


Huo Jian's eyes widened in amazement as he watched the Qi flow. His heart pounded as he saw Wu Zhe draw the life force from the creatures. Then he froze, staring at the decayed corpses.


"Wh—what?! My carcasses!" he shouted, grabbing one of the decayed remains.


Wu Zhe felt the internal injuries inside him healing as he circulated lifeforce through his body. As the paining feeling fading, as it healed he stood up, his gaze settling on Huo Jian.


"That's your price for stealing from me. But don't worry. Since you've joined me, you won't need these things anyway."


"But! I needed them to buy cultivation manuals!" he shouted.
