Don't Ascend: They Want to Eat Us

Ascension is a lie. Beyond the heavens lies no immortal paradise—only the Primordial Void, where ancient god-like entities farm cultivators like livestock. Every tribulation survived, every breakthrough achieved, is one step closer to the slaughterhouse. These divine predators have designed the cultivation path itself as bait, transforming ascenders into refined delicacies and potent elixirs to fuel their endless hunger for power. In a cosmos where gods feast on the ambitious and demons harvest Dao fruits like crops, one truth becomes clear: the only way to survive is to never reach the top.
