Harvest of Lifespans

In a world where every breath is measured in stolen years, an aging cultivator refuses to bow to death. At seventy-three, with only two years left to live, he weaves schemes, bargains with forbidden sects, and sacrifices everything to claw for more time. But each stolen moment feeds darker powers stirring in the shadows. To survive, he must decide: will he harvest the lifespans of others until the world itself collapses, or embrace the fate he has spent a lifetime defying?
