Chen Ran was a good person; he went to hell.

This is the Hell of Tongue-Pulling, where lying is forbidden, so everyone lies.

Due to differing philosophies on deception, two major alliances emerged.

The Liar Killers Alliance: Instant kill if you lie.

The Liars: Turning Lies into Truth.

A beginner's tutorial with a near 100% death rate, an insane matchmaking system, a bizarre feast, a war between two alliances, a hellish escape, where evil people who come to hell will use various means to deceive each other into lying.

Chen Ran had many speculations about hell.

Virtual world?

A world of gods?

The spiritual world?

As he eliminates one answer after another, the mystery of hell is gradually being unveiled...

In the world of cultivation, having a powerful advantage—often called a “golden finger”—is essential. Ruan Ci, the protagonist, possesses a universe-level golden finger. However, this power is not eternal; it has a limited duration. Even more complicated is that everyone knows about her golden finger and its ticking time limit.

When Ruan Ci is at her most desperate, Xie Yan lends her a sword—the legendary cosmic treasure “Donghua Sword.” But borrowed items must eventually be returned.

Ruan Ci was once a noble girl whose entire family was wiped out by a coalition of cultivation sects. She was saved by the notorious Xie Yan, who entrusted her with the sword and made her the new Sword Bearer. Using this sword, she enters the Shangqing Sect, cultivates for ten years to lay a solid foundation, and eventually achieves an extraordinary level of power comparable to an ancient Dao ancestor.

But the borrowed sword must be returned, and on her path of cultivation, Ruan Ci faces relentless threats from various factions. She struggles against the manipulations of Dao Ancestors and strives to break free from a destined death. Through courage and determination, she climbs the peak of cultivation and embarks on a legendary journey.

Gu Ming accidentally transmigrated into the cultivation world. At the start, he has endless lifespan and awakens the talent "Borrowing Life" — if he is killed, he will randomly sacrifice a close relative of his enemy to resurrect himself, and even gain one random ability from the sacrificed person.

Need a cultivation license to join a sect?

Not talented enough, so you have to pay to cultivate?

What? I don’t even qualify to pay to cultivate?

Fine! You won't let me cultivate, huh?

Then I'll just outlast everyone — while others study their way to Immortality, Gu Ming endures his way there with sheer lifespan.

Want to kill me? Go ahead. Kill me, and your whole family dies, starting with your parents. Let’s see how many times your family can afford to be sacrificed!!

...

Years later, Gu Ming’s little secret is accidentally exposed. He becomes a plague god in the eyes of all realms — wherever he goes, fear follows. People avoid him like the plague.

Especially those powerful cultivators who like flashy, explosive battles — every time they want a duel, they make sure to steer clear of Gu Ming, fearing they might accidentally kill him.

One righteous sect leader refused to believe the rumors. He found Gu Ming and arrogantly declared:

“I have no family, no ties, I stand alone. Plague God Gu Ming, come — today, I shall rid the worlds of your evil!”

Luo Qiu became the boss of a ‘club’ by chance.

It was a weird club that sold strange items and with a servant girl that had 300 years of working experience. Countless people with dreams, hopes and ambitions came to the club to exchange anything precious they own for what they want. They would offer their lifespan, items, and even their soul. Every successful trade would increase Luo Qiu’s lifespan by a little.

“Tribute successful, your lifespan has increased by 99 years.”

As thus, Luo Qiu began his endless life as the club’s boss.
