Life is a Dream System

"Little Tian, why are you running again? Slow down, be careful not to trip over a stone."

Douluo Continent, Fasinuo Province, Notting City, in a village to the southeast with clear waters, lush mountains, and exceptionally beautiful scenery.

On the outskirts of the village, Huang Tian was moving his short legs, darting rapidly through the woods. He nimbly dodged obstacles while swinging his arms continuously to maintain his balance, looking almost as if he were performing acrobatics.

Just as he reached the entrance of the village, an old man waved from afar and greeted him with a cheerful smile.

Huang Tian had been exercising for quite some time now, so the villagers were long accustomed to it. Knowing that the old man likely had something to say, he stopped and replied obediently:

"Grandpa Wang."

"It's like this: news just came from the neighboring village. They finished their Martial Soul awakening today, and they'll be coming to our village tomorrow.

Don't overexert yourself this afternoon. Get some good rest and keep your spirits up."

Upon hearing this, a flash of brilliance sparked in Huang Tian's eyes, but it quickly dimmed, leaving him looking somewhat preoccupied.

Martial Soul—these two words were something no six-year-old child could fail to yearn for, be curious about, or dream of constantly.

This was especially true for a transmigrator. Having read so many fan-fiction novels, he had seen protagonists command the world, surrounded by beauties, acting cool with ease, standing supreme, becoming gods and ancestors, and achieving immortality.

Seeing them so dashing and carefree, how could he, having encountered the same situation and transmigrated into this fantasy world, not feel a sense of yearning and let his imagination run wild?

However, compared to other transmigrators, Huang Tian was a standard "three-no" product: no family background, no talent, and most importantly, he didn't have a damn cheat.

Damn it!

He had awakened the memories of his past life two years ago, at the age of four, after his father passed away from illness and his mother, overcome with grief, followed him to the grave—a trauma that had triggered the awakening.

Through inquiries, he learned that neither of his parents were Spirit Masters; their Martial Souls were the most useless of the useless, Blue Silver Grass, and they had possessed no Innate Soul Power.

Although he had eaten more eggs over the past two years, persisted in moderate exercise every day, and actively learned how to pick and identify medicinal herbs, selecting and consuming some of the harmless ones, he had no certainty at all whether these efforts could help him gain or increase his Innate Soul Power.

At this moment, the anxiety in his heart had reached its peak.

Soul Power was the foundation of everything. If he didn't even have Innate Soul Power, he would never be able to step through the gates of cultivation, let alone carry out any of his grand plans.

Huang Tian replied politely, "I understand, thank you, Village Chief."

He stopped running and silently returned to his living quarters.

After drinking some water and feeding Kunkun, he was about to check on the medicinal herbs he had transplanted in the vegetable patch, intending to consume the last dose today, when suddenly, a pale blue, sci-fi-looking virtual screen appeared before his eyes, displaying several lines of large text.

[Life is a Dream System is at your service]

In an instant, the young Huang Tian, usually known for his intelligence and maturity, widened his eyes, his mouth hanging open in an "O" shape, almost letting out a scream.

A massive surge of joy struck his mind like a bolt of lightning; his whole body trembled, and his heart couldn't help but pound wildly.

He couldn't help but be excited.

A transmigrator without a system is like a wild child with no one to love them.

Things were finally looking up for him now. A child with a mother is like a treasure; from now on, he could speak with confidence.

The system didn't seem to possess intelligence. Huang Tian closed the courtyard gate, the room door, and the windows, asking several questions in a low voice and even trying to communicate through his thoughts, but there was no response.

Finally, after careful study, he discovered four tiny characters the size of rice grains embedded in the bottom right corner: [User Manual].

After reading it, he learned that the system had three main abilities. The first was Dream Weaving, similar to AI-generated video, which could deduce, generate, and weave dreams based on the host's descriptions.

The second was Dream Invasion; as the name suggests, it could implant a woven dream into the mind of a specific target, making it impossible for them to forget it for the rest of their lives.

The third was the Shop, where he could purchase items from countless worlds—novels, anime, movies, and even myths and legends—but it required a currency called Achievement Points.

Achievement Points were earned by completing various tasks set by the system, such as attaching a Spirit Ring, increasing Soul Power, conquering beauties, or defeating and killing villains.

After calming his emotions, Huang Tian first opened his attribute panel.

[Name]: Huang Tian

[Age]: 6 years and 19 days

[Martial Soul]: Blue Silver Grass (Lowest-tier Martial Soul, unawakened)

[Soul Power]: 0.1 (Acquired through postnatal accumulation)

[Spirit Ring]: None

[Achievements]: 10733

"Heaven Rewards Diligence" (733 consecutive days of persistent exercise, reward: 733 Achievement Points)

"Miracle Descends" (Successfully accumulated Innate Soul Power postnatally, reward: 10,000 Achievement Points)

Looking at this panel, which could be described as miserable to the extreme, Huang Tian didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

0.1 level of Innate Soul Power—not to mention the geniuses in the original work, he wasn't even as good as Yu Xiaogang... or rather, Yu Xiaogang.

According to the system description, he should have been just like the cheap parents of this life, possessing absolutely no Innate Soul Power.

Yet, by relying on exercise, meditation, eating plenty of meat, eggs, and dairy, consuming herbs to strengthen his foundation, and preparing Blue Silver Grass in every way imaginable—stir-fried, braised, stewed, and simmered—he had actually managed to accumulate a sliver of it postnatally.

In a sense, wasn't this a miracle in its own right?

It was time to eat.

There was grain left behind by his parents, and neighbors would occasionally take pity on him, gifting him melons, fruits, and vegetables. After leasing all his farmland to the village chief, he could also receive a regular supply of milk and meat.

Huang Tian skillfully steamed some rice and stir-fried two dishes.

The portions were small and the preparation was tedious, but he never felt annoyed, nor did he ever lower his standards.

After eating, he lay in his little nest and pondered a very important question: who should he choose as the first target for his dream-weaving?

Huang Tian had roughly browsed the system shop, where a dazzling array of god-tier Martial Souls were on display, and high-level Martial Souls naturally came with sufficient Innate Soul Power.

However, purchasing Martial Souls required Achievement Points, and those points could only be earned by completing system achievement tasks. Soul Rings, Soul Power, and Soul Bones were currently unrealistic; only the task of conquering beauties held any possibility.

The dream-weaving ability provided by the system was clearly designed for this purpose.

As long as the woven dream was brilliant enough and sufficiently soul-stirring, it was not impossible to capture a target in one go and reap a massive reward.

According to the rules, under normal circumstances, he would have to make contact with the target and meet certain requirements before he could implant a dream, all while consuming Achievement Points.

But this time, as a beginner's perk, the Achievement Point cost and prerequisites were waived; he could choose anyone, even if the target was at the ends of the earth.

Huang Tian did not make a rash decision, instead carefully analyzing his own needs and the likelihood of achieving his goal.

Martial Souls and Innate Soul Power were far too important for him to be anything less than cautious.
