【Twenty-fourth year, age fifty.】
【Drawing a trait...】
【Trait acquired successfully!】
【“Guangzhi, Save Me” (Golden Legend):
Kid, sometimes you should consider changing forms.
You can transform into any BOSS you have defeated in past simulations or in reality, taking on their appearance and abilities while retaining your own cultivation.
After transforming, you can still use the effects of your traits, but you cannot change your equipped traits.
Each transformation lasts one day, and you must wait ten days before transforming again.
If you wish to remain transformed beyond one day, that is also possible—but it will consume twice as much lifespan.
If you die while transformed, the transformation will simply be dispelled, and you will not truly die. Since death dispels the transformation, you must wait one year before transforming again.
Current available transformation targets: Shi San, Feng Yucheng, Azure Dragon, Huo Feihuo, Heaven Exalt Lin, Yi Chengsheng, Huangbing, Demon Calamity True Lord, and Dalabeng.
Yes, these are not all the targets you have defeated. But trust me—they're enough.】
【Would you like to adjust your traits?】
【Yes/No】
“Wait, this is a genuine transformation skill.”
The people he could transform into with “Guangzhi, Save Me” were practically indistinguishable from the real thing. Not only did they look the same—their abilities were identical as well.
Now this was a true Six-Eared Macaque trait.
“It’s a shame that, among these BOSSes, only Demon Calamity True Lord and Dalabeng are at the Heaven-Connecting Realm. The others can only be used to take a hit for me at best.”
Demon Calamity True Lord was the sect master of the Demonbane Sect, one of the three major sects Chen Yi encountered on Firelight Star during his sixth simulation. The sect was dominated by the dragonfolk.
At present, Chen Yi in the simulation was also about to arrive at Firelight Star.
“Could I take over the magpie’s nest?”
Poor dragonfolk. Their strict father was about to stir things up for them again.
【You chose yes.】
【You replaced “Infinite Plain Congee” with “Guangzhi, Save Me.”】
【You replaced “Advanced Root-Bone Aptitude” with “Low-Grade Root-Bone Aptitude.”】
【You replaced “Chinese-Style Succubus” with “Mortal Bone.”】
【You are about to reach a second-rank star, so you removed “Mortal Bone” to accelerate your cultivation and increase the efficiency of “Breathe and Grow Stronger!”】
【Although “Mortal Bone” has been removed, the insights you accumulated over the years in the Eclosion Galaxy have finally borne fruit this year.】
【Grain Abstinence: Refrain from eating the five grains, instead sustaining life by absorbing energy from the wind and drinking dew.】
【This is your new divine ability.】
【Do not assume that “Grain Abstinence” merely means you no longer need to eat.】
【That is only its effect as an ordinary divine ability.】
【If applied skillfully, incorporating “Grain Abstinence” into a cultivation method and elevating it into a divine art will produce many additional effects.】
【For example, you remember that the Ji Family’s Myriad Book Repository contains a divine art that requires the incorporation of “Grain Abstinence.” It is called the Scripture of Solar Essence and Lunar Radiance.】
【Once mastered, this divine art not only eliminates the need to eat every day, but also automatically increases your cultivation as you absorb the essence of the sun and moon and dine on wind and dew.】
【When you return to Vermilion-Purple Star, you’ll have to borrow this divine art from the Ji Family.】
【You already possess “Breathe and Grow Stronger!” Along with the demon race’s innate talent, “Natural Respiration,” copied from “Calamity of Ten Thousand Races,” both of them allow your cultivation to increase naturally without training.】
【Adding one more divine art will stack with and further increase the speed of your natural cultivation.】
【Furthermore, as humanity’s Guardian of the Dao, you receive the backlash of humanity’s fortune, which further accelerates your cultivation.】
【Although your cultivation aptitude cannot be considered that of a genius, you can now keep pace with one.】
“I only barely reached the threshold of those geniuses thanks to all these cultivation buffs. No wonder the alien races are afraid of humanity opening blind boxes...”
【The Voyager starship sped through the stars, traveling along the interstellar route.】
【Black Wind gazed at the sea of stars outside, along with the colorful nebulae that occasionally drifted past, and sighed again and again.】
“Boss! So this is the universe? It’s amazing!”
Looking at Black Wind, you thought of what had happened after your death in the previous simulation.
“Black Wind has quite a background, but how did he get in touch with the Dragon-Horse home galaxy...?”
The vastness and boundlessness of the universe were enough to inspire awe.
【The Dragon-Scaled Horse race lived in another home galaxy—the Dragon-Horse Galaxy.】
【There were no routes connecting the various home galaxies. To cross from one to another, one either needed a powerful expert to intervene or had to use an ultimate treasure.】
“I wonder how Black Wind contacted his homeland in the previous simulation...”
Seeing you frown in thought, Black Wind asked curiously,
“Boss, what’s wrong?”
“Black Wind, you actually come from one of the three great ancient divine-beast races of the Real Realm.”
Black Wind’s horse mouth fell open.
“Really?!”
【The Myriad Soul Banner came over.】
“Big Blackie, do you even know what the three great ancient divine-beast races are?”
“I don’t.”
“Then what are you getting excited about?”
“It sounds impressive.”
“What’s so impressive about that? They’re three great races, not one of a kind. You’re only impressive when you’re unique, like me!”
【The Myriad Soul Banner put on the air of a little lackey.】
“Big Brother Myriad Soul Banner is still the best!”
You added,
“Black Wind belongs to the Soulhorse clan of the Dragon-Scaled Horses. He should be a high-ranking noble, because you possess the authority to mobilize the Dragon-Scaled Horse army.”
Black Wind was even more shocked. His horse mouth hung open so wide that it nearly stopped closing.
“I can command an entire army of ancient divine beasts?”
【The Myriad Soul Banner immediately changed its attitude without missing a beat.】
“Oh my! I’ve long heard of the illustrious Soulhorse clan! Brother Black Wind, once you rise to power, don’t forget where you came from, all right? Your brothers helped you every step of the way!”
As it spoke, the Myriad Soul Banner turned to you again.
“When are we going to the Dragon-Scaled Horses’ territory? We have to help Brother Black Wind rise to power! Just look at those scales! That coat! Those hooves! Those teeth! He’s absolutely pure-blooded!”
“We can’t go. It’s too far, and I don’t know how to get there.”
The Myriad Soul Banner was bitterly disappointed, but its enthusiasm did not diminish. It shouted that they should capture a few experts from the Real Realm and question them—surely they would know the way.
【Twenty-fifth year, age fifty-one.】
【The Many-Treasure Child Granny’s beloved treasure was indeed fast.】
【The Voyager took less than two years to travel from Lingwei Star to Firelight Star.】
【The Voyager did not need to land through a starport. It could simply touch down in some remote wilderness where no one would notice.】
【This saved you the trouble of having to undergo an identity check at the starport.】
【Not that you were afraid of trouble. After all, you could always deal with whoever caused it for you.】
【The cultivators of Firelight Star were, on the whole, a level stronger than those of Lingwei Star, but it was still only a second-rank star.】
【The strongest cultivators here had reached only the Heaven-Connecting Realm. There were no Immortal Lords.】
【You now had nothing to fear from alien beings of the Heaven-Connecting Realm. Unless they possessed some special means, they would be unable to escape death at your hands.】
【However, Firelight Star was close to several first-rank stars and served as an important supply point along several busy trade routes. An Immortal Lord passing through from time to time was entirely possible.】
【The moment you stepped out of the starship, you could clearly feel your cultivation speed shooting upward.】
【The immortal energy in the surrounding environment was finally normal. The demon race’s innate talent, “Natural Respiration,” and “Breathe and Grow Stronger!” began accelerating once more.】
【This time, the simulation was faster than the last one because you’ve become a Dao Protector. Your basic cultivation speed has increased, so it’s naturally even faster after the boost!】
【“It’s already this fast on a second-tier star. If you went to a first-tier star, wouldn’t you take off completely?”】
【But there’s no rush to leave.】
【There’s still a must-eat list to complete on Blazing Light Star.】
【With a lifespan of over a thousand years, there’s no need to worry about spending some time here.】
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...
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. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. 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?"
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
