【On Firelight Star, you could only be considered somewhat well-known. Only a limited number of people knew you.】
【Although killing a Heaven-Transcending cultivator was quite a spectacle, Firelight Star was enormous. One major incident wasn’t enough to make you famous everywhere.】
【But within the Heavenly Fiend Sect, things were different.】
【From the Supreme Ancestor down to the odd-job disciples, everyone knew that a human had easily destroyed the current sect master’s physical body.】
【Your origins were unknown, and you were shrouded in mystery.】
【Your appearance brought all the riots in the streets to a halt.】
【The dragonkin held their breath in fear.】
【The captain of another reconnaissance squad cautiously took a step forward.】
【“P-please, Senior, we were only acting on orders. I’ll apologize to this old granny…”】
【Granny He, for her part, showed the attitude of someone old enough to fear nothing. When the dragonkin apologized to her, she simply pointed her cane at him.】
【“Who wants your apology? Acting on orders? Were the orders you received to come here and burn, kill, loot, and destroy?”】
【The dragonkin captain flushed with embarrassment.】
【“This…”】
【You said indifferently,】
【“I’m a guest here, and I don’t want anyone disturbing me. You’re making too much noise.”】
【“But…”】
【“Why haven’t you left? Do you want me to escort you out?”】
【You clenched your fist, your knuckles cracking loudly. The sound made cold sweat break out across the dragonkin’s foreheads.】
【Just as the dragonkin captain was caught between a rock and a hard place, a dragonkin’s voice came from the sky.】
【“There’s something wrong with the alert formation! Someone passed through it and escaped from the town!”】
【The dragonkin captain clapped his hands together.】
【“It must be the suspect! Come on, hurry and pursue them!”】
【He had found himself a perfectly reasonable way out.】
【Someone had indeed escaped just now—your four clones, each of them covered in explosives.】
【They ran in four different directions, scattering the dragonkin and diverting their attention.】
【Once all the dragonkin had withdrawn from the town, you returned to the firewood shop’s cellar and took the little boy from Shen Yifeng, preparing to leave.】
【There was a hidden passage in the cellar, and Shen Yifeng opened its entrance for you.】
【“Leave through this passage. The exit is at the bottom of a lake thirty li away. While you’re underwater, please take care of this child. Even if he possesses the potential to become a Heavenly Emperor, he is still only a fragile infant right now.”】
【You nodded.】
【“Rest assured, Senior Shen. I’ll make sure he isn’t harmed in the slightest.”】
【Ma Bang asked,】
【“Sixth Elder, even if you don’t want the sect disciples to escort you, at least let me go with you. Sometimes, having one more person means having one more way out…”】
【That was a sight you never wanted to see again, so you firmly refused.】
【“This journey means standing against the entire world. One more person or one fewer won’t make any real difference. Let me go alone. Don’t let the Flame of Civilization die out on Firelight Star.”】
【Your final sentence struck at the weak point of both Shen Yifeng and Ma Bang.】
【As you had said, if the two of them died as well, there would be no one left to carry on the Flame of Civilization on Firelight Star.】
【“Take care.”】
【You left through the hidden passage, evading the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s search in the area.】
【Your four clones died heroically, transforming into four blazing points of explosion. They managed to kill quite a few low-level foreign races.】
【By the lakeside, you took out a map and studied how to reach the starport.】
【Although you had lived on Firelight Star for many years, the planet was still enormous. You only knew the general locations of the major powers; it was difficult to learn the specifics of each region.】
【Finding the safest route was truly a problem.】
【You weren’t afraid of danger, but you were carrying a child now. If you had to travel while constantly being hunted, the boy probably wouldn’t be able to endure it.】
【“I’ve got it. I’ll find Know-It-All first and have him lead me along a safe route.”】
【You set off once again.】
【Without a mount—and unable to visit the market to buy one—you could only travel on foot.】
【Ma Bang and Shen Yifeng had prepared plenty of daily necessities for you and the child.】
【But for the sake of preservation, the food was naturally difficult to eat, and the child often refused it.】
【If you hadn’t been the father of two children in your first life, this journey would have driven you to the brink of death.】
【The good news was that the child’s emotions were fairly stable. He had never thrown a tantrum or cried for his mother.】
【“Where’s Grandpa Xun?”】
【He could already say a few simple words, and you felt that he was developing faster than an ordinary child.】
【“Grandpa Xun has other things to take care of. From now on, I’ll look after you.”】
【“He’s dead, right?”】
【You let out a bitter laugh.】
【“You know what ‘dead’ means?”】
【The child’s eyes grew sorrowful. Although he was far more emotionally stable than children his age, he clearly hadn’t yet learned how to hide his feelings.】
【“I know. Lots of people have died. When the last one died, I ended up in the hands of the next one.”】
【“It’s not easy for a child to have gone through all that…”】
【“You’ll die too, won’t you?”】
【“Pei, pei, pei! I have a thousand-year lifespan. Can’t you let me live a little longer?”】
【The child spoke with a solemn expression, though he probably didn’t fully understand what he was saying himself.】
【“You should abandon me. Then you won’t die.”】
【“Is that something a person could actually do? Don’t you want to eat sweet potatoes? Are you deliberately making excuses because you don’t like them?”】
【“They taste awful.”】
【“They are a bit ‘difficult’ for you to eat, but don’t worry. You’ll have porridge to drink after we’ve traveled a little farther.”】
【You weren’t carrying any “Infinite White Porridge” with you at the moment, but you knew the person outside wouldn’t disappoint you.】
【The child’s eyes lit up when he heard that there would be porridge.】
【“Really, big brother?”】
【“I’m too old for you to call me big brother. Call me Grandpa Chen.”】
【“Grandpas have white beards. You don’t.”】
【“Then call me Uncle Chen. By the way, do you have a name?”】
【“I do.”】
【“What is it?”】
【“Sometimes it’s ‘Genius,’ and sometimes it’s ‘A-Dou.’ I have lots of names!”】
【You understood. He didn’t actually have a name. Those were simply the ways Mr. Xun and the others had referred to him when talking about him.】
【“From now on, your name is A-Dou.”】
【“Why?”】
【“Because the two of us make quite a pair.”】
Outside the simulation.
Chen Yi flipped through the list of traits.
“We’re heading for the starport again, and this time I’m bringing a child. I have to choose my traits carefully.”
Chen Yi sighed. In this simulation, getting anywhere was truly difficult.
He always had to fight his way through.
“This time, I might not necessarily have to kill my way out. ‘The Tribulation of Ten Thousand Races’ and ‘Martin’s Morning’ can both change my appearance. There’s also ‘Someone Is Imitating My Face.’
“As long as that child agrees, I can turn ‘my’ face into that of a foreign race and put it on him.
“Then getting through the starport should be easy, right?
“This journey won’t be easy, and I probably won’t have time to comprehend any divine abilities. I’ll temporarily replace ‘Mortal Bones.’
“Oh, right—the residence permit…
“I wonder if Know-It-All can solve the residence-permit problem.”
After thinking it over, Chen Yi decided which traits he would use next.
Then he waited for the year to change.
My turn—change traits!
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. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. 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.
