Zhu Xian

When faced with Ye Yun's question, the System explained, "The System arranges an ordinary identity for the host in each world. The default identity is an orphan, with only the most basic settings. It does not instill memories of this identity into the host, as doing so could affect the host's personality. Also, when the System transports the host to other planes, it simulates the System's energy and transforms it into power similar to the plot world's, directly integrating it into the plane. Therefore, the energy consumption is not high. The vast majority of the energy the System consumes is used to arrange the host's identity and to simulate and brand the plot world's world imprint onto the host's body, preventing the host from being destroyed by the Heavenly Dao's will."

"The host's original body did not conform to the identity arranged by the System, and its meridians and bone structure were already fixed with low potential. Therefore, the System used its remaining energy to completely strengthen the host's body and restored it to the state of a six-year-old."

"So that's how it is, I understand. But why won't I be annihilated by the Heavenly Dao's will of this world after I have this world's world imprint? Doesn't the Heavenly Dao's will of plot worlds hate it when the plot is disrupted and interfered with?" Ye Yun suddenly realized, then voiced his lingering doubts.

"The world imprint is branded by this world onto every living being born from the planes of this universe. Having this imprint means the host has become an original being of this world. The world consciousness, influenced by the rules of the world's operation, cannot target beings of this world, let alone act against them. Even if such a being intends to destroy the world, it can only guide other beings of this world to oppose the one attempting world destruction. Only when the native beings cannot stop the world-destroyer can the world consciousness act to restart the world, but it still cannot directly act against the beings of this world."

"What about the lightning tribulation then?" Ye Yun found a loophole in the System's words and quickly recited in his mind.

"The lightning tribulation is merely a test from the world for cultivators. Only by passing the test will they be qualified to enjoy more resources. Those who fail the test can only return the resources they have occupied. After all, the energy a world possesses is limited."

"I see, I understand now. That puts my mind at ease." Hearing this, Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief, then spoke again, asking the System the two questions he cared about most. "System, which plane am I in right now? And how much energy is needed to fully replenish your energy? I don't want to die of old age before I can fill you up."

After asking this question, Ye Yun quietly waited for the System's reply. However, to his surprise, after more than ten seconds, the System did not make a sound, which made Ye Yun panic. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and asked with great alarm, "System, did I guess right? I don't want to die of old age here, I want to go home, I'm not playing anymore."

"Host, please remain calm. According to this world's energy level, it is basically impossible to fully recharge this System's energy. However, reaching the first stage is possible. To accumulate enough energy for the first stage, the System estimates that the host will need to reach the level of the top experts in this plane. To reach the next stage, the host's cultivation must reach a higher level and travel to more advanced planes. However, the first stage is enough for the host to travel freely in small and medium worlds. This plane is called Qing Yun Zhi, also known as Zhu Xian. The host's current location is Cao Miao Village. Alright host, this System's energy is now completely depleted and will enter standby mode. Good luck."

When Ye Yun heard the first part of the System's words, his face was filled with joy. In his opinion, as someone with a System that could travel through the myriad worlds and whose body had already been cleansed and reshaped by the System, becoming the top expert in this world would be a piece of cake. However, when he heard the latter part of the System's words, his expression turned grim. This was because this world was the Qing Yun Zhi world, and his location was Cao Miao Village. It wasn't that this world was particularly dangerous, but that Cao Miao Village was extremely dangerous for him. He wasn't Zhang Xiaofan, nor was he Lin Jingyu. Pu Zhi wouldn't spare him just because he was a child when he massacred the village.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun hurriedly said, "System, System, don't go into standby just yet! Can you change the world for me? If not, can you at least change my location? I'm still just a child, I don't want to die young!"

Unfortunately, no matter how Ye Yun called out, the System did not respond. After all his struggles, Ye Yun was tired. His small body curled up on the straw, and he slowly closed his eyes, soon falling asleep. In his dream, Ye Yun found himself relying on the System's travel ability to roam the myriad worlds, chasing the most beautiful goddesses, wielding the strongest divine artifacts, and cultivating the most powerful techniques. Then, he was woken up by hunger.

After being woken by hunger, Ye Yun rubbed his rumbling stomach and walked to the door. It was only then that he realized the sun was already setting, hanging like a fiery red ball above the distant mountaintops. He estimated that it would be dark in less than half an hour. He had casually glanced at the thatched hut earlier; it was empty, with no bed, let alone food.

Ye Yun covered his rumbling stomach with one hand, frowning as he looked at the fiery red sun on the horizon. He muttered with a bitter face, "What should I do? It's getting dark, and as a child, I can't go out to find food. Am I going to starve tonight? Am I, a transmigrator, too pathetic? Starving on my first day after transmigrating. Maybe I should go beg at someone's house?"

Just as Ye Yun was preparing to shamelessly use his age advantage to beg for food from other households in the village, a white-bearded old man holding a large sweet potato entered his vision and walked directly towards him.

Since the System had gone into standby and hadn't provided him with information about his identity or Cao Miao Village before doing so, he had no idea who this white-bearded old man was. However, not knowing his name didn't matter, because he still had the age advantage.

When the old man reached him, Ye Yun gave a sweet smile and childishly called out, "Grandpa."

Hearing Ye Yun call him that, the old man nodded calmly, handed the sweet potato in his hand to Ye Yun, and then turned and left without saying a word after Ye Yun took it. He hadn't spoken a single word from beginning to end, and his expression hadn't changed at all, as if Ye Yun were just an unrelated stranger to him.

Although the old man's attitude was not good, Ye Yun didn't care at all. They didn't know each other in the first place. He was already very happy that the old man had given him a large sweet potato. Even though the sweet potato was cold and had some wormholes in it, it was still a rare delicacy for Ye Yun at that moment.
