Ling Yao was the typical aspiring cultivator who dreamed of immortality, defying the heavens, and conquering the deepest laws of the universe. But now I’ve inherited his life — a fresh start for a biologist with a lifetime of unfulfilled dreams. While I still intend to explore cultivation and all its secrets, I’m taking this second chance to embrace an old passion I never had the courage to pursue. Cultivation or mathematics? Why not both? I'll do it all: explore hidden realms by day and non-Euclidean geometries by night; wield divine artifacts in one hand and compass and straightedge in the other.  With cultivation and the immortality it promised on my side, surely even someone like me could eventually come to grips with mathematics and its invariant truths? There is some math and science in this.
