In a cultivation world where spiritual energy is not free, immortality is the ultimate predatory loan. Every wisp of Qi drawn from the cosmos comes with an invisible karmic contract. The Dao does not grant enlightenment; it issues high-interest debt. And when the Heavenly Tribulation descends, it is not a trial of will—it is a ruthless liquidation by celestial debt collectors. Shen Qing wakes up as an impoverished scrapper in the sect's decommission vault, suffocating under overdue debts and given a death sentence: clear his balance in seven days, or be liquidated as cannon fodder in the demon abyss. Yet in the ashes of discarded scrolls, Shen Qing discovers an anomaly: he sees what no one else can. Ancient scriptures are not sacred mysteries; they are energetic circuits riddle with flaws. And heavenly debts? They are merely ledgers waiting for an audit. Why pay for Qi when you can patch the bugs in immortal scriptures?Why bleed under heavenly tribulations when you can legally restructure your karmic debt onto your enemies? They thought he was disposable waste waiting to be erased.They didn't know he was about to audit Heaven itself. ---What to Expect:- Pragmatic & Calculating Protagonist (No brain-dead moves)- Deconstructive Magic & Cultivation Mechanics (Crafting & Array Inscription)- Strategic Face-slapping & Karmic Exploits- Clear Progression (Qi Condensation -> Immortality)- Rational World-building (No Harem)
