Trapped for a Million Years, I'm Numb

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Grade 4 Return to Origin Pill."

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining one hundred years of cultivation."

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining three million low-grade spirit stones."

Within a turbid space, cold notification sounds rang out from time to time. These voices contained not a shred of emotion, and the tone was identical every single time.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but Su Chen's consciousness gradually regained clarity.

"System, how much time has passed now?"

System: "Ten thousand years have passed."

Ten thousand years!

Ten thousand grass-mud horses stampeded through Su Chen's heart. He felt as though countless ages had gone by, yet it told him only ten thousand years had passed?

He was originally an ordinary construction worker on Blue Star. Although his family wasn't wealthy, they got by, and his life was comfortable enough.

Su Chen had already accepted his lot in life, but a car accident sent him through a transmigration, and he even activated a system.

For Su Chen, who was a web novel addict, the combination of transmigration and a system naturally made him ecstatic. He had, of course, fantasized about living the life of a web novel protagonist.

Now that his fantasy had become reality, how could he not be excited?

But this joy didn't last long before it turned into despair.

Because he had transmigrated, but not entirely.

The system had activated, but not completely.

He was stuck halfway through the transmigration process.

The system stated that it needed to be fully activated before he could complete the transmigration, and the activation time was one million years.

In other words, he had to stay in this pitch-black, sunless place for one million years!

Perhaps due to a lack of concept regarding the span of one million years, Su Chen initially thought it was nothing and that he could just endure it.

But after only one year had passed, Su Chen nearly went insane.

If the system hadn't kindly opened up a sleep function for him, Su Chen doubted he would have survived the collapse of his sanity in this chaotic space.

It was dead silent here; there wasn't a single sound, and he couldn't even make a sound himself, forced to communicate with the system only through his thoughts.

If only the system could chat with him, that would be fine, but unfortunately, the system only provided targeted responses. There was no reply to meaningless questions, and in the end, Su Chen could only fall into a deep sleep.

Although he fell into a deep sleep, he could still perceive the passage of time, though it wasn't intense.

This time, he felt as though he had slept for an incredibly long time, yet only ten thousand years had passed.

"Heavens!"

"Save me!"

Just as Su Chen was howling and venting his emotions through his thoughts, the system's cold voice rang out.

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining three thousand Grade 1 Energy Recovery Pills."

Su Chen was slightly stunned. He opened his system inventory to check, and it was already filled with a dazzling array of items in massive quantities.

He had obtained nearly three hundred billion low-grade spirit stones alone, along with various other treasures.

His system's function was very simple; it only had a check-in feature. He could check in once every twenty-four hours and receive a random reward.

However, the more times he checked in, the higher the level of the rewards.

"What use are so many treasures if I can't even use them?"

Thinking that he had only passed one percent of the time, his mood began to grow irritable.

Su Chen gave a bitter smile, and while his emotions were slightly stable, he fell into a deep sleep once again.

In this space, only the system's notification sounds remained.

Time flowed by rapidly.

Three hundred thousand years later.

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Innate Human Sacred Body."

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining five million top-grade spirit stones."

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Saint King-tier cultivation technique, Killing God Scripture."

Five hundred thousand years later.

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Ancient Saint Weapon Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda."

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining one hundred thousand years of cultivation."

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining one hundred million top-grade spirit stones."

Eight hundred thousand years later.

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Ancient Emperor Weapon Primordial Seal."

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Primordial Immortal Body."

"Ding, automatic check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Emperor Tier medicinal pill, Nine Revolutions Universe Pill."

"System, how much time has passed now?"

Su Chen's calm voice echoed within the void space. Perhaps having stayed here for too long, he had grown accustomed to the solitude, and his emotions had steadied significantly, no longer as desperate or broken as they were at the beginning.

System: "Eight hundred and nineteen thousand five hundred and sixty-three years."

"Eight hundred and nineteen thousand years, has it been?"

A trace of a smile appeared on Su Chen's calm face: "With about one hundred and eighty thousand years left, I will be able to leave this hellhole."

For these hundreds of thousands of years, what kept his spirit from collapsing was the life he would lead after successfully transmigrating in the future.

Su Chen had obtained so many things through check-ins; once he transmigrated, his life would surely be incredibly luxurious, and just imagining it was thrilling.

After fantasizing about a beautiful future, Su Chen fell back into a deep sleep with a smile on his face.

Nine hundred thousand years after staying in the void space.

"Check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining one million Immortal Grade Spirit Stones."

"Check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Immortal Grade Supreme Treasure Heaven-Slaying Talisman."

"Check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Immortal Grade Rank 6 formation, Immortal Slaying Sword Formation."

Nine hundred and fifty thousand years later.

"Check-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Heavens and Myriad Worlds Expert Summoning Card: Exploding Heaven Gang Emperor Xu Xiaoque. Strength unknown, can exist for ten breaths of time, assisting the host in eliminating any enemy."

"Check-in successful..."

The system's notification sounds rang out incessantly. Another forty-four thousand years passed in this manner, leaving only the final ten years until the system's activation.

Su Chen awakened.

At this moment, his face was filled with excitement.

It was almost one million years!

Finally... finally!

Unknowingly, Su Chen's face was covered in tears.

Do you know how I spent these one million years?

Even though his heart had long been as still as an ancient well, it could not help but ripple once more. With only ten years left, he would finally be able to leave.

After a long while, Su Chen's emotions stabilized, and his first instinct was to check what good items he had obtained from the check-ins over the years.

"What is this?"

He saw the first slot of his system inventory, where a figure stood with their back turned, exuding an aura of immense pretension, as if they were a peerless expert.

"Exploding Heaven Gang, Xu Xiaoque?"

"Holy crap!"

Su Chen was instantly startled. To think he could even check in such a treasure; if he summoned this person, wouldn't he be able to slaughter everyone effortlessly?

Excited beyond measure, Su Chen did not sleep for the final ten years, frequently asking the system how much time had passed.

Ten years is neither long nor short.

Under normal circumstances, with Su Chen's mindset, enduring ten years would certainly be simple, especially after having endured so many years of solitude.

However, seeing that the system was about to be successfully activated, Su Chen's mood began to grow anxious and restless.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten years passed. A cold, detached voice echoed through the void space.

"System successfully activated. Commencing transmigration!"

As the cold voice rang out, Su Chen's consciousness instantly dissipated. When he regained his senses, he snapped his eyes open.

"The Young Master has awakened! Go and report to the Patriarch!"

A surprised shriek rang out beside Su Chen's ear.
