First Draw!

Yun Chuan's current situation was extremely awkward. He was like a great whale that needed the ocean to grow, yet had been born in a small lake.

With ample food and vast seas to swim through, he would surely grow into a gigantic whale in the future. But because he had been born in a cramped little lake with scarce resources, it was simply impossible for him to grow into a great whale. The place was too small for him to move and stretch his body, and there were not enough fish in the lake for him to eat and grow. How could he possibly become large?

Thus, the only way Yun Chuan could think of to break the deadlock was to use his draw opportunity. If he got lucky, he might draw cultivation methods from other worlds. For example, the various Dao Scriptures from Shrouding the Heavens, or the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill and Eight Nine Mysterious Skill from the Primordial World. Failing that, any immortal pills or Peaches of Immortality that could turn him into an immortal or god on the spot would do. He was not picky. No matter what, it had to be better than Douluo Continent.

Name: Yun Chuan Charm: 100 (Charm fully maxed out! Your charm has surpassed the boundaries of race! In the eyes of any living being, you are the prettiest one! Even across the Myriad Realms, your charm belongs among the very top few!) Comprehension: 24+ (After the baptism of reincarnation, although your comprehension is not worth mentioning compared to the many geniuses of the Myriad Realms, in this low-level world, it belongs among the very top few.) Innate Talent: 25/60 (You inherited your parents' outstanding bloodline, and with the boost from Attribute Points, successfully broke through the boundary between mortals and gods. Your bloodline has undergone its ultimate sublimation! Your innate talent and aptitude have escaped the constraints of this world's framework. Even across the Myriad Realms, your current aptitude is considered outstanding, and your future prospects are limitless!) Attribute Points: 0 (Attribute Points are exceptionally precious. Please use them carefully!) Novice Benefit: One free draw. (Draws hold endless possibilities and can yield anything.) Current World: Douluo Continent. Worlds Available for Travel: None (Travel requirements have not been met!)

Yun Chuan stared at the Worlds Available for Travel section at the bottom of the panel. Without a doubt, this system possessed the ability to travel between worlds. But for some reason, he currently did not meet the conditions to do so. If he could use this world-traveling function, he could head to higher worlds to seize opportunities, or use the time difference in lower worlds to grow and develop.

Unfortunately, this function could not be used. What conditions did he need to meet before he could unlock the ability to travel between worlds?

After thinking for a long time,

Yun Chuan came back to his senses and looked at the one draw displayed on the panel. He took a deep breath, then silently said in his heart, "Use the draw opportunity!"

Following his command,

the sci-fi screen instantly shifted, transforming into a gigantic prize wheel!

The wheel displayed countless items. There were so many slots that Yun Chuan could not even tell how many there were. Squinting, he tried his best to see what items were on it. Sure enough, it contained everything imaginable!

It was divided into three tiers: low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade!

High-grade area: Chaos Green Lotus, World Seed, Godhood of Creation, Saint Dao Fruit, Three Thousand Great Daos Crystal... There were very few items here, only a few dozen in total, fully demonstrating what it meant for rare things to be valuable!

Mid-grade area: Peach of Immortality, Ginseng Fruit, Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Beginningless True Scripture, He Transforms Freedom Great Method, Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, Two-Way Foil, Heaven Opening Creation Skill... There were far more than in the high-grade area, over a thousand in total.

Low-grade area: a pack of spicy strips, Eight Wonders, half a watermelon, half-eaten instant noodles, Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, a rusty old rifle, a child's diaper smeared with shit, Super Soldier Serum, a fresh pile of cow dung, a World War II tank... This trash occupied more than 99.99999 percent of the prize wheel.

There were simply too many items on the prize wheel, and they were far too miscellaneous!

The chances of drawing something good from the mid-grade or high-grade areas were incredibly low. With good luck, he might draw something like the Godhood of Creation or a Saint Dao Fruit and ascend to the heavens in a single step. With bad luck, he might draw a fresh pile of cow dung or a used child's diaper.

In short, it all depended on luck!

Yun Chuan had no confidence in his own luck. In his previous life, he had never drawn anything good whenever he entered a lottery. But whether he stuck his head out or pulled it back, the blade would fall either way. He had to draw sooner or later, and it was free anyway. Even if he did not draw anything good, he would not lose anything.

Draw!

He closed his eyes and silently muttered to himself.

Ding!

Congratulations, Host, for drawing a high-grade...

Before the notification could finish, Yun Chuan's eyes flew open. His face was filled with disbelief as he instinctively blurted out, "Holy shit! Am I really this lucky?!"

He had thought that even with decent luck, he would at most draw something middling from the mid-grade area. He had never expected his luck to explode and directly draw something from the high-grade area!

Just thinking about the names listed in the high-grade area nearly made Yun Chuan drool!

My god, high-grade!

Was he about to embark on an invincible path and begin dominating the Myriad Realms?!

He impatiently looked toward the large screen.

The wheel had already vanished. In its place was a radiant rune, emanating an unfathomable, mysterious aura!

"What... is this?" He frowned, staring at the glowing rune displayed on the panel. Instinctively, he used his thoughts to open its description, and the system panel immediately changed.

"Become a Saint Through the Physical Body Method"—Take the body as the source and become a world unto oneself!

"Hiss!"

Yun Chuan could not help but suck in a sharp breath. He had never expected to draw such a method! This was far stronger than the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill. No, the two were not even on the same level conceptually.

If he had only looked at the name, he might not have understood and would have mistaken it for an ordinary body-tempering technique. But the eight words in the description had already explained this method with perfect clarity.

Take the body as the source and become a world unto oneself!

Clearly, this was a method that could eventually nurture a world within one's body.

Just imagine it: a world born within his body. He would be the world, and the world would be him!

Would that not make his will the Heavenly Dao?

His body would contain the mighty power of an entire world. With a casual wave of his hand, he could unleash the strength of a whole world!

How powerful would that be?

Compared to this "my body is the world," something like "Pangu opened the heavens, then transformed into all things" was utterly crushed into scraps!

Growing more excited the more he thought about it, Yun Chuan immediately chose to claim it!

At once, a flash of light appeared before him, then condensed into a radiant rune that slowly merged from his forehead into his soul...

At the same time, a message appeared in his mind: Current physical body does not meet the minimum cultivation requirements!

"What does that mean?!"

Yun Chuan blinked his clear, wide eyes. The rune had entered his body, and he had been ready to endure an immense flood of information pouring into his mind, yet this Become a Saint Through the Physical Body Method only gave him that one sentence?!

Where was the actual cultivation method?

How was he supposed to cultivate and reach that realm of becoming a world unto himself?

At least give him a hint, damn it!

His physical body did not meet the minimum cultivation requirements?

Just one dry sentence like that—how the hell was he supposed to know what it meant?!

Yet the glowing rune that had merged into his mind seemed exceptionally aloof. It did not respond to any of his questions, leaving Yun Chuan rather frustrated.

He had finally drawn something good, only to find that he had no idea how to use it.

Was there anything more screwed up than that in this world?!
