The number one under the heavens, Zhong Li, known as the Dark Emperor of the Darkness Empire, who owned Darkness Continent of the Dark World, although only he called them that.

He was turning 999 years old this year, meaning that he only had another year to live.

His cultivation had remained at the peak level for so long he had lost count, and yet, he still couldn't cross the bridge to Nirvana.

He spent his entire life searching for a way past it, but there hadn't been an improvement for centuries, even a small amount! He focused instead on techniques.

But once he only had a year to live, he finally realized how meaningless of a life he had lived, and decided to enjoy the rest of it.

He did everything he could imagine, from romance to Bungee Jumping, from selling herbs to destroying provinces for no reason: he built and married a harem to spend his last moments with him.

But he regretted it. Not only not living his life to the fullest, but not reaching Nirvana made him feel like a sack of useless old bones.

And it was at that moment that he saw light. You know what they say about destiny being a beach.

It was only in his last moments that, in the arms of his favorite lover, he was enlightened and achieved Nirvana.

He only had time to see the face of his lover crumble into a frown before he appeared elsewhere in a flash a light.

Well, the rest you already know, so go home.

"Did they just forsake me cuz I'm old? ###—!"
