In August, dark clouds blanketed the sky.

Raindrops intertwined into fine threads as they fell through the air, drifting lightly onto the ground.

Tai City, inside a high-rise apartment.

"So, Spirit Qi Recovery will fully begin in a year. Right now, almost the entire world is steadily continuing to develop modern society, completely unaware that in a year, the degrees and wealth they worship will become nothing more than useless scraps of paper."

"The era of cultivators will begin in a year."

Fang Yi stood before the mirror, murmuring to himself.

His reflection showed a lean but not gaunt figure, a young yet resolute face—the kind of looks the older generation liked.

"Once Spirit Qi Recovery begins, the world will undergo earth-shattering changes."

"Fierce Beasts will mutate and ravage the cities..."

"The entire world will evolve in an unknown direction."

"Strength is everything."

"Only by becoming stronger will one be qualified to claim a place in the future."

Fang Yi took a deep breath.

Having read countless Spirit Qi Recovery novels, he understood this all too well.

Fang Yi had originally been nothing more than an ordinary senior high school student. He had failed the college entrance exams and had no chance of getting into a university.

If there was one thing worth mentioning about him, it was probably that his outstanding looks had earned him a Campus Belle girlfriend in high school. Chu Qingli was stunningly beautiful, slender, and flawless in both grades and background.

After the college entrance exams, she had been admitted to Qingbei. With a bright future ahead of her, a privileged family background, and the status of heaven's favored daughter, she was truly exceptional.

At that thought, Fang Yi could not help shaking his head with a laugh.

It was precisely because Chu Qingli had gotten into Qingbei while Fang Yi, that good-for-nothing, could probably only attend a vocational college based on his exam results that the students at school had gleefully declared that the two of them were finished.

Qingbei and a vocational college were like the bright moon and mud on the ground—existences on entirely different levels.

However.

The times had changed.

Fang Yi's heart stirred.

"I wonder what it'll be like when the great Campus Belle Chu finds out in a year that her university degree and all the knowledge she studied so hard for will become completely useless."

A sharp light flickered in his eyes.

After all, who could have imagined it?

Spirit Qi Recovery would actually happen to me?

As for why he knew so much...

A cold mechanical voice rang out beside his ear.

Spirit Qi has been detected officially beginning its gradual recovery. The Auto-Compilation System has been activated-- Spirit Qi Recovery Countdown: 364 days, 11 hours, 55 minutes, 35 seconds--

As the owner of a system,

Fang Yi felt that this was the standard setup for a transmigrator. May every handsome transmigrator possess the system of his dreams. Amen!

This was now the very beginning of Spirit Qi Recovery, the starting point of everything.

This system originated from the ultimate reaches of the universe. Using top-tier algorithms containing the mysteries of the cosmos, it can automatically compile Cultivation Methods based on the Spirit Objects seen by the host. Cultivation Methods currently possessed: 0

Seeing the system details,

Fang Yi's pupils contracted.

Automatically compiling Cultivation Methods?

"In this era, everyone remains completely unaware of Spirit Qi Recovery. Only I know through the system that Spirit Qi Recovery is about to begin. I'm a full year ahead of everyone else, and during that year, Spirit Qi Recovery will already be gradually underway. All kinds of Spirit Fruits and anomalies born from Spirit Qi Recovery will belong to me alone."

"This is a track that no one else has even started running on yet."

"By the time they realize what's happening, I'll already be thousands of miles ahead, my martial path reaching the divine."

Fang Yi's eyes shone brightly.

"After Spirit Qi Recovery, not only humans, but animals and plants will also mutate under the nourishment of Spirit Qi. The entire Earth will be brimming with luminous vitality, giving birth to countless super Spirit Fruits with special effects. Consuming them can grant extraordinary power."

"Most importantly, after Spirit Qi Recovery, celestial phenomena will also be affected. Aurora-like rainbow pillars may appear, strange constellations may form in the night sky, divine fire may descend, and heavenly lightning may erupt. If I can obtain benefits from them, I too will undergo a magnificent evolution."

"And these will all be the finest materials for my compilation ability, allowing me to compile powerful Cultivation Methods and abilities."

"Everything I see can be compiled into a Cultivation Method!"

Judging from the description, this seemed to be only a preliminary function. More useful things suited to Spirit Qi Recovery might be developed later.

Spirit Qi was now gradually recovering. Scenes of changes between heaven and earth had begun appearing in every corner, and the concentration of Spirit Qi was already sufficient to accommodate the birth of cultivators.

The curtain over Spirit Qi Recovery had yet to be fully lifted.

Cultivate in secret, and walk along the abyss.

"One year is enough time for me to grow."

Fang Yi lowered his head and looked out the window.

Within the bustling, splendid city, crowds surged through the streets. Money and power divided people into ranks, with a stark class hierarchy.

But that would be shattered in a year.

The world would be turned upside down and reshuffled. Those at the top would fall, while latecomers would rise to the summit...

"Chu Qingli hasn't contacted me for three days." Fang Yi suddenly thought of his Campus Belle girlfriend.

Having been admitted to Qingbei, with her looks and qualifications, she was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding heaven's favored daughters, with limitless prospects. Compared to her, Fang Yi, headed for a vocational college, truly was an ugly duckling.

But if Spirit Qi Recovery began,

everything would be completely different.

Yet just then, something Fang Yi had not expected happened.

His phone suddenly vibrated.

A message from Chu Qingli arrived.

"Fang Yi, I've thought about it carefully. I don't think we're very realistic together. Love during our student years will eventually reach the moment when we both wake up. Maybe only at a time like this do we realize that the two of us probably aren't very suitable. Spending a lifetime together requires courage, but it also requires matching family backgrounds."

"So, let's break up."

The same old breakup routine.

Yet Fang Yi, who knew everything, felt something entirely different.

Damn.

Why did this give him such an inexplicable feeling of thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river?

The corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.
