By the time the calendar hits 3014, Earth doesn’t look like Earth anymore. Spiritual energy has returned, and everything rebuilt itself around it. Cultivators chase immortality like it’s a normal career path, magical tools do the work old machines used to do, and humanity has already pushed past the atmosphere and into interstellar travel. Even in California, it’s normal to see students leaving school and casually flying home on swords like it’s a bike ride.
Li Wei… does not do that.
He’s a transmigrator who has been in this world for three years, and he’s already decided he has zero interest in acting like some destined genius. While everyone else shows off in the sky, Li Wei just reaches into his storage ring, pulls out a spirit stone-powered sports car, and drives home. Underage? Sure. But traffic doesn’t really exist when half the city can fly.
The problem is, people notice. His classmates call him a joke. He has an ordinary mixed spirit root, and rumors float around that he was thrown out by the powerful Li family. Li Wei doesn’t bother defending himself. He isn’t trying to become a legend. He wants a soft life: good food, no suffering, no grinding, plenty of gaming, and the full comfort of being a wealthy second-generation heir.
He lives in Jixian Village, an elite Dongfu district guarded by formations and filled with old monsters who look harmless until you remember what they probably are. Weirdly enough, the elders there treat him nicely. His daily life is handled by Yuexian, a fairy-like maid puppet who is so competent it’s almost unfair. Everything is stable, lazy, and comfortable… exactly how Li Wei likes it.
Then something small feels off.
His monthly spirit stone allowance doesn’t arrive. Messages to the Li family go unanswered. No replies. No excuses. Nothing.
It’s the kind of silence that makes you think: okay, something is happening behind the curtain.
Li Wei tries to ignore it the way he ignores most problems. He eats well, avoids fasting pills like they’re poison, and goes back to doing what he does best—wasting time.
That’s when Yuexian drags out an ancient computer she recovered, and Li Wei ends up opening an old game saved on it: “Immortal Cultivation Family Simulator.”
At first, it looks like some depressing retro management game. The start is pathetic. His “descendant” is literally a nameless runaway slave who prays to ancestors because he has nothing else left. Li Wei casually gives the clan the surname Li, names the guy Li Dalong, and watches him generate “incense points” through worship.
And then the game stops being a game.
A real incense burner appears beside the computer. Same shape. Same details. Same presence.
Li Wei freezes, because there’s only one explanation: this thing is real, and it’s connected to something far beyond his room. Through the simulator, he can send gifts to his descendants… and receive offerings back. It’s a link between two worlds, and he’s holding the control panel.
With worship time running out, Li Wei has to make his first real choice. He doesn’t send money or flashy treasures that would get Li Dalong killed. Instead, he sends the one thing that actually matters in a cultivation world: a Qi Refining manual.
From that moment, Li Wei’s lazy, comfortable life quietly starts changing—because somewhere out there, a tiny, struggling Li bloodline has just received its first “Ancestor’s Blessing.”
