Some are born in Rome, while others are born as beasts of burden, and even gods are not immune.
As the last immortal in the human realm, Yan Li knew how heavy the burden on her shoulders was, so she simply gave up and quit!
Who could have such a miserable life as her?
A hundred years ago, her entire sect ascended to heaven, even the sweeping monk ascended, and they all received extremely easy positions, only needing to sprinkle water on weekdays.
The key is that this simple job is done on a half-hour workday.
Unfortunately, she is still at the beginner stage and can only stand on the ground and look on from afar.
Fifty years later, her master suddenly appeared in her dream, telling her that the immortal realm was about to reach its full capacity. Since they were all immortals, it would be difficult to lay off staff, so the path to ascension might be closed.
Unable to ascend? ×
No official staff position. √
From then on, Yan Li remained steadfast for fifty years, through the cold winters and scorching summers, day and night without sleep.
Finally, she persevered and obtained a unique, one-of-a-kind, permanent position.
However, the office location is in the human realm.
Yan Li felt she had been fooled and looked at her work schedule for the day:
Zi hour: Polaris stars are visible.
At the hour of Chou (1-3 AM): Snow falls in Antarctica.
Yin hour: Rain falls in the East Sea.
5:00 AM: Wind blows over the Western Sea.
From Chen Shi (7-9 AM) to You Shi (5-7 PM): Sit in office (find a temple and listen to the wishes of the living beings).
From 7 PM to 9 PM: Cultivation.
After a quick glance, Yan Li's vision went black, and with a tremor in her hand, she crushed the papers into dust.
She casually tossed away the remaining crumbs.
Let whoever wants the position take it; she doesn't want it anyway.
As the saying goes, as long as you're willing to be a beast of burden, there will always be plenty of grass to eat. Whether you get to eat it or not isn't important; at least you'll get to use your brain.
If she doesn't do it, plenty of others will.
Roll it up!
Having a change of heart, Yan Li decides to let go of her inhibitions and enjoy life in the human world.
But when she came to her senses, she realized how foolish she had been. Besides not being able to die, there was absolutely no benefit to becoming an immortal.
There is even one extremely fatal drawback:
She's not hungry; a single breath is enough to fill her up. But she wants to eat; she loves to eat.
Until one day...
While she was traveling around, she was struck by a bolt of lightning.
Yan Li finally remembered.
She said she couldn't believe her luck was so bad; out of hundreds of people, she was the one who drew the worst possible lot.
It turns out that her mission target was also in the human world.
…*…
[Immersive Single-Player Missions: 1. Find the evil dragon in the abyss. 2. Protect the peace of the human world.]
[Host's current identity: The last immortal in the human realm.]
So, is her mission this time to slay the evil dragon?
…*…
In the far east, there is a bottomless abyss, perpetually filled with thick miasma, and beneath the abyss dwells an extremely violent and wicked dragon.
It slept here for centuries until it was awakened again not long ago.
Its body is extremely large, and it has sharp teeth and claws, which can easily pin down its prey, tear it apart, and swallow it whole.
According to the villagers, this evil dragon feeds on human flesh and blood, and its awakening must have been caused by them disturbing it.
They wanted the dragon to calm its rage and return to normal life.
Because this evil dragon was so noisy.
Regardless of day or night, it would always howl from time to time, especially at night, sounding like a vengeful ghost, as if it wanted to fly out of the abyss and devour them all.
So, in order to survive, they decided to try this ancestral method again.
A young girl was sacrificed.
According to records left by their ancestors, this was exactly what they did when the dragons last awoke, and there were seven of them in total.
After receiving the sacrificial offering, the dragon did indeed quiet down.
this time……
"So this is why you sent me here?"
Yan Li looked at the villagers who had surrounded her and was truly surprised that she had received a task one second ago and someone had brought her a ladder the next.
But this ladder is way too bloated.
“Yan Li, you have been an orphan since you were a child. Our village kindly took you in. Please do us a favor and repay our kindness,” the village chief said first.
Actually, he couldn't bear it either.
But since Yan Li was the only one without parents, if the first one didn't push her down, which villager would be willing to push their own daughter out?
Yan Li is an immortal being who has lived forever.
But if one wants to stay in the human world without letting ordinary people notice anything unusual, one naturally has to disguise oneself.
So each time, she would pretend to be an orphan, find a good spot to lie down, and wait for a kind person to take her home.
This time is no exception.
She was successfully carried back by the village chief of Qing'an Village.
"Yes, Yan Li, we raised you. Without us, you would have died long ago. You should do something for us, shouldn't you?"
Another villager spoke up somewhat nervously.
Not far from here, in the abyss where the evil dragon dwells, roars seemed to have heard the villagers' words.
It was as if they were urging the villagers to throw her down quickly.
Yan Li: ...
There's no need to be in such a hurry to die, is there?
She didn't say much, but after glancing at the group of villagers in front of her, she decided not to make things difficult for the village chief who had raised her the longest, and then turned and jumped down.
You want to eat her, right?
She wanted to see who was really eating whom.
