Life Archive System

Hua Ziyan immediately regretted her words.

"Yuxi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It's just that Su Li... Master Su revealed such a secret so suddenly, I, I just reacted instinctively..."

Hua Ziyan's face was filled with guilt.

Her nervous and uneasy expression made her seem less like the aloof immortal she was before, and more like a little girl who had made a mistake and was at a loss.

"She's not old, her disposition is still quite pure. Her so-called aloofness is merely a product of her environment and status. This, hmm, is quite rare."

Su Li opened Hua Ziyan and Mu Yuxi's Life Archives, focusing on their ages. He discovered they were both only seventeen.

Seventeen years old with such heaven-defying cultivation. These two were truly prodigies.

While Su Li was viewing their Life Archives, the two women quickly reconciled, their relationship seeming to have grown even closer.

Su Li, meanwhile, was casually admiring the beautiful scenery, appearing just like a true reclusive master.

"Master Su, while what you said is accurate, this information could still be investigated by someone determined enough. Why don't you deduce some other information, Master Su?"

Hua Ziyan still couldn't quite believe it. As she had said, things that happened when she was five, including her innate divine abilities, might not be impossible to uncover with enough effort.

Her identity and origins were indeed extraordinary. If the other party had deeper intentions...

Just as Hua Ziyan was thinking this, Su Li seemed to read her mind again. He shook his head slightly and said, "You and I are fated. For Fairy Yuxi's sake, I won't dwell on your doubts about me—"

Su Li's words struck Hua Ziyan's thoughts again, causing her to lose her composure slightly.

Su Li, however, paid no mind to this and continued, "Actually, before you arrived, I didn't know you at all, nor did I know your origins or identity.

But after seeing you, I knew.

I observed that your 'forehead shines with brilliance, and your smile calms the purple river.' You must possess the 'Purple Qi Three Thousand' talent, and your name must be 'Hua Ziyan.' This is your destiny.

At the same time, because your destiny is too high, it has backfired, bringing you a lifelong tribulation. All of this began when you were five years old.

Fortunately, due to your astonishing origins, you invited Zhuge Wuwei, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, to help you break the tribulation.

It's just a pity that such a fate-tribulation can only be alleviated, not truly broken. Only by becoming a Dao companion with someone who truly possesses the Nine Radiance Glazed Heart and has great fortune can you truly evolve the boundless tribulations of all living beings and allow you to break free from your cocoon and transform into a butterfly.

Because of this, most people who have actively approached you over the years have encountered much misfortune.

The reason Mu Yuxi is unharmed is that Mu Yuxi's innate constitution is highly compatible with your condition. However, this is also a major hidden danger, as it will intensify your tribulation.

Zhuge Wuwei's actions were to delay, not cure. Therefore, your fate-tribulation, starting from age five, has now accumulated for twelve years, reaching your current age of seventeen!

Now, this has reached the limit of your accumulated fate-tribulation. I imagine you are currently trapped at the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core realm, unable to form a Nascent Soul or break through, right?

In fact, your breakthrough is imminent, but on the day you break through, a destructive heavenly tribulation will descend, erupting alongside your fate-tribulation. At that time, your Soul will scatter, and you will be utterly annihilated."

Most of Su Li's words were derived from Hua Ziyan's Life Archive.

The rest, of course, was just him talking big.

After all, Su Li could find reasons to match the outcome.

"Ah—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yuxi let out a soft cry, clearly shocked by his words.

Hua Ziyan, on the other hand, appeared much calmer.

"Then, may I ask Master Su, can this fate-tribulation be resolved?"

Hua Ziyan asked calmly and softly.

"The method of resolution has actually already been provided by Zhuge Wuwei, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."

"But in this world, how can one find someone with the Nine Radiance Glazed Heart?"

"Coincidentally, I happen to possess the Nine Radiance Glazed Heart. Fairy, do you think I have a chance?"

"Master Su is joking. Master Su specializes in deduction but has not yet begun cultivating. Your vital energy is depleted, and your body lacks any Spiritual Qi or Dao charm. How could you possess the Nine Radiance Glazed Heart?"

"In this world, much of what you see is merely what others wish for you to see."

"Master Su speaks wisely, but please allow me some time to consider this matter." Hua Ziyan pondered for a long while before saying, "Master Su, please do not casually mention my secrets. Otherwise, even if I do not trouble you, it will bring about immense disaster."

"We Heavenly Secrets Masters are never gossips. How about this, let's continue with the deduction of your fate-tribulation from where we left off."

Su Li said with a serious expression.

Knowing Hua Ziyan's extraordinary origins, this thigh was worth clinging to... If he didn't cling to this thigh and gain some benefits, how could he survive in this world?

Su Li was originally a transmigrator, but it was a transmigration of reincarnation. Furthermore, his memories of his past life only gradually resurfaced after he turned three and a half.

At that time, Su Li learned that this was a vast world similar to Xuanhuan Xianxia. He once believed that he would surely be able to fly through the skies, move mountains and fill seas, and travel a thousand miles on his sword, becoming a dashing sword immortal.

However, he didn't expect that he had no spiritual aptitude and no heaven-defying bloodline.

His mother, whom he had never met since his memories resurfaced—she wasn't a mysterious figure in hiding or some powerful being living in seclusion, but had simply passed away from illness.

His father was a half-baked Observer of Trends, observing mountains and rivers, finding blessed lands, and determining spiritual meridians and dragon veins...

In the words of Huaxia, he was a rogue Feng Shui master, surviving by his wits with a bit of basic knowledge, scamming and deceiving. Cough, no, he was just barely making a living.

When he was young, after regaining his transmigrator memories, as soon as Su Li showed a hint of intelligence, his unscrupulous father filled his head with all sorts of random knowledge about being an Observer of Trends—and the key point was that most of it was wrong.

Even more absurdly, the unscrupulous old man made him consume various pill-talismans concocted from things like cow dung and horse urine, claiming they were sacred medicines for prolonging life.

Back then, Su Li was too young to get enough food or warm clothes, how could he possibly fight an adult?

Therefore, those days were simply the biggest shadow in Su Li's life whenever he thought about them.

Because of this, for the next ten years or so, Su Li extinguished many of his desires. He lived like a fool, constantly recalling the knowledge of history, classics, and the Hundred Schools of Thought from his past life in his mind, living a muddled existence.

Finally, after enduring for fifteen years, three days ago, that unscrupulous swindler could no longer withstand the grinding of time and passed away.

On this day, Su Li finally stepped out of his shadow. After burying the old man in the desolate Luoxia Mountains, he moved into the dilapidated temple in Luoxia Mountains.

Firstly, it was to keep the old man company. Secondly, it was because he had nowhere else to go. Before the old man died, he sold the dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain, bought a pot of wine, drank it all, and passed away peacefully.

The old man's passing was, no matter how you put it, a sad event. After all, Su Li was a good citizen from Huaxia, who upheld the Five Stresses and Four Beauties. Not only was his appearance heaven-defying, but he was also virtuous and skilled, with filial piety that could move the heavens...

However, Su Li couldn't feel sad at all. Instead, he was uncontrollably excited and joyful.

Because he had awakened a very peculiar ability!

[Life Archive System (Qian Lan)]

This system had no emotions, no heaven-defying functions like intelligent voice assistants, and no human-computer interaction. It was just a special light and shadow data panel – the kind that came with "Duang, Duang" special effects when it appeared.

Of course, Su Li had tested these special effects, and only he could see them.

The greatest ability of this system was to lock onto living beings and query their "Life Archives."

The first layer of this "Life Archive" was a simple summary of the person's experiences. However, this simple information could be further expanded.

In the end, it could even obtain specific experiences at a certain time and place, including detailed records of the person's psychological activities!

Moreover, this archive query was not limited to past information, but also included ongoing events and even some future events.

However, at present, the Life Archive System named Qian Lan seemed to have some restrictions on viewing the future due to its level and other reasons. It could only view the Life Archives for the next three days, and viewing unmanifested Life Archives required an additional fee.

The payment was not in Huaxia currency, nor in the Spirit Stones of this world, but in something called "Heavenly Secrets Value."

When querying archives, it wasn't direct reading, but information transmission, like a computer transferring data to a USB drive.

In other words, if Su Li needed to know someone's specific past, he only needed to spend time querying their Life Archive, and then spend some time digesting and absorbing the information in the archive to know everything about that person like the back of his hand.

"Qian Lan, open the system panel."

Su Li brought up the system panel and took a look.

[Life Archive System (Qian Lan)] Level: 1 Heavenly Secrets Value: 1090 points. Function 1: Keen Observation: View the past and present Life Archives of living beings. Under normal circumstances, this viewing consumes no Heavenly Secrets Value. Function 2: Control Future: Consume a certain amount of Heavenly Secrets Value to view the Life Archives of living beings for the next three days. (Note: The amount of Heavenly Secrets Value depends on the strength of the living being and the Heavenly Secrets fluctuations in the next three days. 'Note--The stronger the living being, the more concise the future archive information.') Function 3: Heavenly Secrets Mall (Not yet unlocked). Function 4: Reasoning to Convince (Not yet unlocked). Function 5: True and False Comprehension (Not yet unlocked). Function 6: ???

"Qian Lan, lock onto Hua Ziyan and bring up Hua Ziyan's Life Archives for the next three days."

[This viewing requires the consumption of 300 Heavenly Secrets Value. Confirm?] "300 points? So high?" "Confirm!"

Su Li knew Hua Ziyan was extraordinary, but 300 points of Heavenly Secrets Value was indeed too high.

After all, when he helped Mu Yuxi with calculations yesterday, it only cost 10 points of Heavenly Secrets Value!

Furthermore, the Heavenly Secrets Value gifted by the system was only 1000 points in total. After helping Mu Yuxi deduce Heavenly Secrets yesterday, he only gained 100 points!

And now, he was spending 300 points!

The moment Su Li confirmed, a stream of extremely mysterious, iridescent light directly appeared on the screen before him.

Among them, lines of text information turned into crystal-clear, seven-colored glazed light, as if every word could emit a misty glow.

And these words seemed to have gained life, like lively little sprites, surging out and rushing towards Su Li's eyes.

At that moment, Su Li's mind boomed, as if a brand new world had opened up.

Scenes after scenes appeared before Su Li like a virtual reality movie.

At the same time, these scenes, along with the words, flowed into Su Li's heart.

"Yunhuang Calendar 3030, August 29th, 3:21:37 PM. Outside Yanmen Pass, thirty-seven miles south of Wuyue City, Hua Ziyan and Mu Yuxi were ambushed by 'Puppet Death Warriors' from Yinshang Cave Heaven, severely injured, triggering their life tribulations prematurely..."

"Mu Yuxi's Golden Core was shattered on the spot, and she died."

"In a near-death state, Hua Ziyan forcibly broke through to the ninth level of Golden Core. After failing to condense a Spiritual Infant, Hua Ziyan was in a near-death state."

"Before dying, she finally realized that the fundamental reason for the transformation of the ninth level of Golden Core and the condensation of a Spiritual Infant was to unite the nine Golden Cores, forcibly break the core, and condense the supreme yang energy, thereby forming the primordial chaos of the Heavenly Dao, and condensing a true seven-colored Spiritual Infant of Yin Yang and Five Elements..."

"Hua Ziyan died with her eyes wide open. She took the Exploding Origin Spirit Pill, forcibly triggered the Spiritual Infant tribulation, causing all seven Puppet Death Warriors of Yinshang Cave Heaven to die, while she herself completely disintegrated, vanishing into thin air."

"Yunhuang Calendar 3030, August 29th, 3:53 PM. Wanli Holy Land's Holy Lord Yun Wanchu emerged from seclusion and investigated the truth behind Hua Ziyan's death..."
