【Year Forty-Four, Age Sixty-Eight.】
【Extracting a trait…】
【Extraction successful!】
【“Become a Pig Head” (White, Common): When your weight exceeds 100 jin, you will turn into a pig’s head.】
【Would you like to adjust the trait?】
【Yes/No】
【You chose yes.】
【You replaced “Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger” with “Bad News from the Martial Artist Community.”】
【Refining a third-grade pill is completely different from refining every pill you made before.】
【Its greatest characteristic is that it takes a very long time to form, requiring patient tempering.】
【This is partly because the pill’s quality is so high, and partly because this is the Real Realm, where the laws of heaven and earth are different.】
【Throughout the process, you must also circulate your true qi with your cultivation art to assist the pill in taking shape.】
【You cannot afford to be even the slightest bit careless.】
【Although you had previously relied on the Jiuzhou Cauldron to refine pills automatically and had little practical experience,】
【your skill in alchemy was still right there. In the end, you did not waste the hard-won materials and successfully refined a Void-Returning Origin Pill.】
【You had already been knocking on the gates of Core Transformation for quite some time, and “Bad News from the Martial Artist Community” further enhanced the pill’s effects.】
【Therefore, the moment you swallowed the pill, it pushed you into the Core Transformation Realm without the slightest suspense!】
【Congratulations! Your true cultivation has broken through to the Core Transformation Realm!】
【You can equip three additional traits!】
【The probability of drawing high-quality traits has increased!】
【Under your inner vision, your semitransparent core now possessed a perfectly solid form. It rose and sank within your dantian, like a lonely star.】
【Shen Yifeng had given you a special warning.】
【The core of a cultivator who has just broken through to the Core Transformation Realm is still unstable. You must avoid severe stimulation or intense battles, and consolidate your cultivation in time. Otherwise, there is a risk that your core may disintegrate.】
【Therefore, for the following year, you went nowhere and cultivated in seclusion.】
“Finally, I’ve reached Core Transformation!”
This time, Chen Yi had reached the Core Transformation Realm through his own strength, not through “Eternal Half-Emperor”!
“Can I use ‘Mortal Bone’ now?”
Chen Yi repeatedly read through the effects of Mortal Bone.
Thinking back to his previous failed attempt, he suspected that it might have been because he had not replaced his root bone with a low-tier one.
When it was time to change his traits next year, he would have to equip the “Low-Tier Root Bone” trait, which he had not used in a very long time.
Divine abilities were a more advanced form of combat. Since cultivators in the Core Transformation Realm could already master them, an opponent in the Desolation Realm would lose their greatest advantage.
A low-tier root bone would reduce his cultivation speed, and at such a high realm, he might even be unable to advance any further.
But he could first comprehend several divine abilities and make use of them before switching back to a high-tier root bone.
Besides, comprehending divine abilities and cultivating could not be done at the same time anyway.
“The Five Realms Sacred Pill made my body immune to all poisons. I wonder whether that counts as a transformation of my constitution. If it does, Mortal Bone probably won’t work…”
There was only one way to find out.
【Year Forty-Five, Age Sixty-Nine.】
【Extracting a trait…】
【Extraction successful!】
【“The Essence of Everything Is Concentrated” (Purple, Epic): Whenever your body is about to change size, you may choose to maintain your original form. This effect does not interfere with the bonuses provided by the change in size.】
【Furthermore, if one of your equipped traits has an effect such as “increases your size,” that trait may take effect automatically without being equipped.】
【Would you like to adjust the trait?】
【Yes/No】
“This trait is great!”
Getting bigger was certainly cool.
But sometimes, it could be troublesome.
For example, in one of his previous simulations, Chen Yi had needed to board a starship while being surrounded by enemies.
He could not possibly avoid using “Heart of Steel” in a group battle, but activating it caused his body to grow larger.
Once he became too big, the starship could not hold him at all.
Although he could give up his accumulated stacks to return to his normal size, doing so would also remove the bonuses.
“The Essence of Everything Is Concentrated” perfectly solved problems like this—and it did not even take up an equipment slot.
【You equipped “The Older, the Luckier.”】
【You equipped “Serious Punch.”】
【You equipped “Hulk.”】
【You replaced “High-Tier Root Bone” with “Low-Tier Root Bone.”】
【You replaced “Infinite White Porridge” with “Mortal Bone.”】

【Traits Acquired (429): Chinese Succubus [Gold], Leader’s Aura [Gold], omitted (including traits consumed by the effects of other traits; they are still displayed but unavailable)】
【Current Trait-Draw Probabilities by Quality:】
【White, Common 20%; Green, Rare 45%; Purple, Epic 25%; Gold, Legendary 9%; Prismatic, Mythic 1%】
Chen Yi saw that the probability of drawing a mythic trait had now reached one percent.
“One percent. In a gacha game, that’s incredibly high. I’d like to see whether, after another hundred years, I can get a guaranteed mythic.”
The trait system had no pity mechanic.
In other words, even with a ninety-nine-percent probability, it was still possible to draw a one-percent result a hundred times in a row—though such a thing was highly unlikely.
【You left your place of seclusion and returned to Firewood Town.】
【Along the way, you took your time, traveling with the leisurely attitude of someone sightseeing.】
【You attempted to comprehend a divine ability.】
【Just how were divine abilities supposed to be comprehended?】
【Shen Yifeng had once told you the basic principle.】
【“Copy the gourd by drawing the ladle.”】
【Cultivators in the Desolation Realm could only comprehend the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities.】
【Therefore, you first had to know what those seventy-two abilities were, then guide your insights as close as possible to one of them.】
【If you could not grasp the essentials after a long time, you would switch to another. Once you gained some insight, you would continue. If it still did not work, you would switch again.】
【The meaning of a divine ability was profound and multifaceted. If each one were recorded in detail, it could fill an entire extraordinary book.】
【However, everyone’s methods, paths, and results of comprehension were different, so other people’s experiences were not necessarily suitable for you.】
【Still, you had to know what divine abilities existed instead of attempting to comprehend them aimlessly.】
【You took out the list of Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities Shen Yifeng had given you. It had been compiled through the exchanges of generations of cultivators and was widely circulated throughout the Real Realm.】

ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.

Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ...

His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe.
