"So this is the famous Spatial Turbulence of the Coiling Dragon Universe?"
In the silent, multicolored space, Lin Ke stood inside a colorless bubble, gazing excitedly at the scenery outside.
The multicolored Spatial Turbulence looked beautiful, but it concealed endless dangers.
Countless people in the Coiling Dragon Universe had seen the Spatial Turbulence, but most had only caught a fleeting glimpse—or had fallen through a spatial rift and seen it for the last time before they died.
The only ones who could freely admire its beauty from within the Spatial Turbulence were the fewer than one hundred Chief Sovereigns.

Everyone else—even Paragon High-Gods who entered the Spatial Turbulence—could only drift along with the current.
And Lin Ke was a mortal. An ordinary, yet not-so-ordinary, mortal.
He was ordinary because, at that moment, he really was just an ordinary mortal—and not even in good health.
He was extraordinary because he was a transmigrator, someone who had come from Earth.
Just an hour earlier, Lin Ke had finished working overtime. On his way back to his rented apartment, he'd turned a corner and been struck by fortune.
But Lin Ke hadn't died. Not only had he survived, he'd also bound himself to a system. The system had repaired his body, and he'd transmigrated to the Coiling Dragon World.
"I've seen enough of the Spatial Turbulence. System, according to what you said, Linley was born only a few years ago, right?"
The scenery never changed. It was stunning at first, but after a while, it became ordinary. So Lin Ke contacted the system in his mind.
"That's right, host. The Child of the World was born just six years ago... Bzzzt... Error... Bzzzt..."
"System?"
The system's voice abruptly turned into a jumble of static, and Lin Ke's expression changed.
"Warning, warning... Unknown threat detected. System damaged... Damage level: 10%... 20%... 30%... Data lost... Universe information lost... A.I. damaged... Good luck, host... Bzzzt..."
"Crack!"
As the system's voice faded from his mind, the bubble surrounding Lin Ke gave a crisp crack.
A fissure appeared in the bubble before his eyes, then rapidly spread like a spiderweb.
"Buzz..."
Black, white, gray, and green currents appeared around the bubble. In the next instant, they condensed into four figures.
The moment he saw them, Lin Ke's face turned deathly pale.
Having read the original story, he knew exactly who they were.
Death, Fate, Destruction, and Life.
The Four Overgods of the Coiling Dragon Universe.
Hongmeng had written them directly into the universe's foundational code after creating it.
Most importantly, that old man Hongmeng could probably take over an account and show up at any time.
"I'm done for..."
"Crack!"
The instant the thought crossed Lin Ke's mind, the bubble around him shattered.
A mere mortal, Lin Ke couldn't last even a second in the Spatial Turbulence before he was reduced to ashes.
But a dazzling crystal remained where Lin Ke had vanished.
His soul, which should have gone to the Netherworld, entered the crystal in an instant.
The next moment, the crystal vanished completely.
Confusion flashed in the eyes of the Four Overgods, who had just appeared.
The Overgods were everywhere.
Yet, at that moment, they couldn't sense where the crystal had gone.
It was as if it had vanished from the universe entirely.
"Oh?"
A hint of confusion flashed in the otherwise emotionless eyes of the Overgod of Fate.
The next instant, the Overgod of Fate's lips curved slightly. "How strange. I can't detect it? Why is that? In all these hundreds of millions of evolutions, this is an interesting phenomenon."
In the next instant, the Four Overgods turned into endless currents and vanished into the Spatial Turbulence.
After leaving the Spatial Turbulence, the crystal entered a Material Plane.
But it didn't stop there. It kept passing through one Material Plane after another.
Ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand...
Perhaps a hundred thousand, or even a million—or ten million...
The crystal's movements were completely unrestricted by time and space. It could enter and leave any Material Plane at will.
Inside the crystal, meanwhile...
In a space of about seventy square meters, Lin Ke sat on a sofa, looking dejected.
"This isn't the right plane either." Lin Ke sighed, slumping into the sofa. "Where on earth is the Yulan Plane? I've got three days at most. If I can't find Linley by then, I'll have to bind some random host."
Lin Ke's expression had gone numb.
At the moment he'd died in the Spatial Turbulence, only his soul had remained.
The system's intelligence had been damaged, so Lin Ke had acted decisively and entered the system, willingly becoming its intelligence.
The good news was, he'd survived.
The bad news was, after becoming the system's intelligence, leaving it would be extremely difficult.
The system Lin Ke had bound himself to was called the Myriad Things Exchange System.
With enough Energy Points, it could exchange them for any imagined item from a novel, film, or game.
At the moment, though, Lin Ke needed a body recognized by the Coiling Dragon World before he could leave the system.
But the required Energy Points amounted to an astronomical number. The system's remaining Energy Points weren't even a fraction of what he needed.
The problem was, the System Clan could only acquire Energy Points through hosts.
So Lin Ke's most pressing task was to bind himself to a host.
His first choice was naturally Linley, the Child of the World of the Coiling Dragon World.
But lately, Lin Ke had searched who knew how many Material Planes without ever finding the Yulan Plane.
"That doesn't make sense." Lin Ke waved his hand, and a can of iced cola appeared in it. "According to the system, Linley was born only a few years ago. Could I really be that unlucky?"
Lin Ke's expression darkened.
If he still hadn't found the Yulan Plane before his Energy Points ran out, he'd have no choice but to pick someone else as his host.
"Still, I can play whatever I want here." Lin Ke continued through the next Material Plane. A big-screen TV appeared in front of the sofa, connected to a PS5.
Inside the System Space, Lin Ke could control everything. Creating any item didn't cost him Energy Points.
Unfortunately, leaving the System Space required paying enough Energy Points.
"I've got fewer than three hundred Energy Points left." Lin Ke looked at his remaining points, his expression grim. "That'll barely get me through three hundred Material Planes. I hope I can find the Yulan Plane!"
Lin Ke sighed and continued searching the planes.
Ten, a hundred...
Lin Ke looked at his last three Energy Points. "If I still can't find the Yulan Plane, then I'll have to..."
Lin Ke didn't sigh this time. He simply continued traveling through the Material Planes in a daze.
But as the saying went, hard work paid off.
After traveling through two more planes, Lin Ke had only one Energy Point left.
But he'd found the Yulan Plane he'd been searching for.
Yulan Plane, Holy Union, Fenlai Kingdom, Wushan Town.
Inside the Baruch Clan manor, Linley sat cross-legged on his bedroom bed, frowning in thought.
The scene he'd just witnessed kept replaying in his mind.
A mage who looked two sizes thinner than Uncle Hillman had only needed to wave his hand to send seven water-tank-thick, dozens-of-meters-long fire serpents soaring into the sky.
The area had become a sea of fire, and the powerful warriors and mages from the mercenary company had all been reduced to ashes.
"My Dragonblood Warrior bloodline is weak, and I can't cultivate any other Battle Qi manuals. If only I could become a mage too—and get that Magical Beast Velociraptor..."
[Linley Baruch, do you wish to pursue the path of the strong?]
[yes] [Yes]
