Version Control Immortal: Forking the Heavenly Dao

Four hundred and twelve cultivators tried the Crimson Meridian manual. Four hundred and ten burned alive from the inside. Lin Ke is going to try it anyway. The furnace slave whose body he woke up in has glass meridians, too brittle for any normal cultivation method, so the only manuals he can run are the ones the sects banned for killing everyone who used them. Luckily, he spent seventeen years as the engineer they called when everything was on fire, and he woke up with something in his head that works a lot like version control: he can run a manual in simulation and watch himself die until he finds the bug. The simulation is free. The pain isn't. And nothing in the real world can be undone.
