Nascent Soul About to Fall, System Awakens

On the Hidden Dragon Continent, at the border of the Eastern Region, inside a hidden cave dwelling on a nameless, desolate mountain.

Yun Ce sat cross-legged, his pale cyan Nascent Soul Realm spiritual energy flowing slowly around his body, yet it could not conceal the aura of decay that had seeped deep into his bones.

He raised his eyes to gaze at the vast world outside the cave, his eyes filled with endless vicissitudes.

He had transmigrated into the world of Stellar Transformations exactly four thousand nine hundred years ago.

Over four thousand years of time, he had climbed from a Xiantian menial disciple of a small sect, struggling to survive step by step, stumbling his way to the Nascent Soul Realm. From then on, he left his sect and lived in seclusion in this cave, becoming a minor expert in this remote Eastern Region.

But the Nascent Soul Late Stage, in the end, was not immortality.

His aptitude was mediocre, he possessed no heaven-defying cultivation techniques, and he had no powerful background. Reaching this point was entirely due to life-and-death opportunities and thousands of years of day-in, day-out bitter cultivation.

But his lifespan would not be extended by even a fraction because of his efforts.

"Only one hundred years left..."

Yun Ce whispered to himself, his fingertips trembling slightly.

A cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage has a lifespan of no more than five thousand years. Having already lived for four thousand nine hundred years, the vitality within his body was withering day by day, and his Dantian Nascent Soul was covered in a faint, greyish decay.

If nothing unexpected happened, in one hundred years, he would pass away here, turning into a handful of dust, leaving not even a trace behind.

He was unwilling.

He did not transmigrate just to rot and die in obscurity.

He had seen Golden Core masters who could fly through the heavens and escape into the earth, seen Nascent Soul ancestors who could overturn rivers and seas, and in ancient, fragmented texts, he had caught a glimpse of those supreme existences who could shatter the void and roam the universe—Heavenly Immortals and Loose Immortals!

That was the life a cultivator should have.

But he, with his limited aptitude, could not even touch the threshold of the Void-Piercing Realm, and he could see no hope.

"Could it be that I, Yun Ce, am destined to be nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust in this vast world?"

Just as he began to harbor thoughts of death and his spiritual energy started to fall into chaos.

[Ding! Detected the awakening of the Child of Destiny, meeting the conditions for system binding!]

[Sign-in System is activating...]

[Activation successful!]

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly exploded in Yun Ce's mind!

Yun Ce opened his eyes wide, his pupils shrinking, and a stormy sea surged in his heart.

A system!

The golden finger of a transmigrator had finally arrived!

[Host: Yun Ce]

[Realm: Nascent Soul Late Stage (less than 100 years of lifespan remaining)]

[Cultivation: 4990/5000 (Nascent Soul Late Stage peak)]

[System Task: Bind to the Child of Destiny, Qin Yu, become his master, and deeply bind your fates]

[System Reward: Permanent realm enhancement—always two major realms higher than Qin Yu! Immune to the tribulations of this world, the system can shield the host from heavenly secrets]

[Sign-in Location: Donglan Mountain, Cloud Mist Villa]

[Sign-in Reward: Lifespan +1000 years, Super Marrow Cleansing Pill ×3, Heaven-Reaching Chart]

Qin Yu!

The Eastern Suppressing Prince Mansion!

Yun Ce understood everything in an instant.

The starting point of the main plot had finally arrived!

The Child of Destiny, Qin Yu, was currently only six years old. Because his innate Dantian was strange and unable to store internal energy, he was ignored by his father, Qin De, and was training alone on Cloud Mist Mountain. Today was the very day he would take General Zhao Yunxing as his master and begin his true cultivation!

And he, Yun Ce, had obtained the Sign-in System at this critical juncture.

Always two major realms higher than Qin Yu!

What kind of concept was this?

When Qin Yu mastered External Martial Arts, he would be at the Golden Core!

When Qin Yu reached Xiantian in External Martial Arts, he would be at the Nascent Soul!

When Qin Yu reached the Golden Core, he would be at the Void-Piercing Realm!

When Qin Yu reached the Nascent Soul, he would be at the Emptiness Realm!

When Qin Yu became a Heavenly Immortal, he would be a Mystic Immortal (Immortal Emperor)!

As long as he followed Qin Yu, his realm would soar like a rocket. He would no longer have to worry about lifespan, aptitude, or cultivation techniques. Furthermore, the system could shield him from heavenly secrets, meaning he wouldn't even have to undergo Tribulation Transcendence!

"Heaven never blocks all paths!"

Yun Ce looked up and laughed, the depression of a thousand years swept away. His decaying Nascent Soul even vibrated slightly, radiating a glimmer of vitality.

So what if he only had one hundred years of lifespan left?

As long as he bound himself to Qin Yu, he would achieve immortality and traverse the universe!

"Three Prefectures of the Eastern Region, Donglan Mountain, Cloud Mist Villa, Qin Yu..."

Yun Ce stood up, brushed the dust from his robes, and his gaze became incomparably firm.

This time, he would no longer be an obscure passerby.

He would become the Master of Destiny, tread upon Qin Yu's path of destiny, and ascend to the peak!

With a flicker of movement, Yun Ce transformed into a pale cyan streak of light, tearing through the sky as he sped toward the most dazzling power in the Eastern Region—the Eastern Suppressing Prince Mansion.
