System Binding, Great Sui Dynasty

(Brain storage...)

[Ding, host requirements met, Great Dream Heavens System bound successfully!]

[Distributing novice gift pack, congratulations to the host for obtaining one Dream Entry opportunity!]

Lin Hanzhou, who was practicing at home, suddenly wore a look of astonishment.

What? The Great Dream Heavens System?!

Realizing what was happening, he immediately stopped his cultivation, his face full of pleasant surprise.

"You really kept me waiting. You were supposed to be the standard system for transmigrators, yet you're a full eighteen years late."

As he spoke, Lin Hanzhou could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.

He was originally an ordinary person from Earth.

He had been in this high-martial world of Blue Star for eighteen years.

Although he had possessed his memories since birth, they were of little use in this high-martial world that relied on talent.

The most critical point was that during the awakening ceremony not long ago, he had the misfortune of awakening a Grade D Superior talent.

One must know that talents in this world are ranked from high to low: Grade A, B, C, and D.

Each grade is further divided into three sub-levels: Superior, Middle, and Inferior.

Grade D talent is undoubtedly the trashiest of them all; even a Grade D Superior is still trash.

With such talent, unless one encounters a great opportunity, the Third-Rank Qi Sea Realm is the end of the road.

However, Lin Hanzhou had now successfully bound the so-called Great Dream Heavens System.

With the existence of a system, anything is possible.

Having read many web novels in his past life, Lin Hanzhou knew this well.

After a brief moment of excitement, Lin Hanzhou tried calling out to the system in his mind.

"System, what is your function, and what is that Dream Entry opportunity?"

[This system is the Great Dream Heavens System, allowing the host to travel through the heavens and myriad worlds via dreams.]

[The Dream Entry opportunity is required for the host to perform dream travel and can be obtained through the system.]

[Note: When the host travels through dreams, they can fully bring their real-world cultivation into the dream.]

[Note: If the host dies in a dream world, they will return to reality immediately without any penalty.]

[Note: Any items or cultivation gained by the host in the dream world can be brought out (excluding living creatures).]

After hearing the system's introduction, Lin Hanzhou could no longer remain calm.

"Holy crap, this dream travel system is awesome! Not only is there no penalty for death, but I can actually bring out items and cultivation from the dream world!"

Setting aside whether he could bring out precious treasures, the mere ability to bring out cultivation was a massive benefit.

If he could cultivate for a lifetime within a dream world, even with Grade D talent, he would surely reach at least the Second Rank.

If he could obtain heaven-sent treasures to improve his talent within, he would truly take off.

After a brief thought, Lin Hanzhou decided to use that Dream Entry opportunity.

Currently, his cultivation was stuck at the First-Rank Pulse Opening Realm, Third Layer, with no possibility of improvement in the short term.

Since that was the case, he might as well go to sleep.

Thinking this, he walked to his bed and collapsed into sleep.

[Ding, detected that the host has consumed one Dream Entry opportunity for dream travel.]

[Selecting a world for travel... Given the host's low cultivation, only low-level worlds are currently open.]

[Drawing a low-level world... Congratulations to the host for drawing the Great Sui dynasty world.]

[Connecting to the low-level world Great Sui dynasty...]

[Connection successful, wish the host a pleasant journey!]

As the system prompts rang out one after another, Lin Hanzhou's consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

"Creak..."

Lin Hanzhou's consciousness slowly awakened, the first thing he perceived being the discomfort of his body swaying with a rhythmic motion.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, looking around with a face full of confusion.

"This is... a carriage?"

He whispered, his voice tinged with bewilderment.

Looking around, the interior of the carriage was simply furnished, covered with soft brocade cushions.

The intricate patterns on the cushions clearly indicated that this was not a configuration found in an ordinary household.

The air was permeated with a faint scent of sandalwood, mingled with the bitter tang of medicinal herbs.

Just as Lin Hanzhou was trying to recall why he had appeared here, a system prompt suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Ding, host conditions met. Memory integration in progress...]

[Memory integration successful. Congratulations to the host for completing your first dream traversal.]

[Note: The more you alter the dream world, the higher your final settlement evaluation will be.]

[Note: The settlement evaluation will affect your final rewards, so please act with caution.]

As the system prompt faded, a massive torrent of memories surged into Lin Hanzhou's mind without warning.

Two vastly different lives collided like rushing rivers, merging into one.

Unexpectedly, the integration went smoothly, and he did not feel a single pang of headache.

Once the memories were fully integrated, he closed his eyes to digest the vast influx of information.

After a long while, Lin Hanzhou exhaled a long, stale breath.

The confusion in his eyes vanished, clearly indicating that he had grasped his current situation.

The owner of this body was also named Lin Hanzhou, the Eleventh Prince of the Great Sui.

Although he was a prince, his mother had no power or influence; she was merely an ordinary concubine who had passed away from illness in the palace a few years after giving birth to him.

As for the original owner, he was a good-for-nothing born with blocked meridians, unable to practice martial arts.

This had made the original owner timid and cowardly, living like a ghost in the imperial palace.

His only reliance was his Seventh Imperial Brother, Lin Yuan, who still remembered their fraternal bond.

At this very moment, thanks to Lin Yuan's careful arrangements, he was riding in a carriage, fleeing in a panic from the capital, which was about to turn into a slaughterhouse.

According to the original owner's memories, tonight was the day the Emperor of the Great Sui, Lin Batian, would announce his abdication.

Lin Batian was a man of great talent and bold vision who had worked diligently to lead the Great Sui into an unprecedented golden age.

However, in his later years, he seemed obsessed with the pursuit of an ethereal path to immortality, becoming increasingly negligent of state affairs.

This had allowed the ambitions of his various sons to fester, leading to open and secret struggles.

Lin Batian chose to abdicate at this time without naming a successor.

He merely stated that the princes should "rely on their own abilities, and let the capable take the throne."

This was undoubtedly a tacit endorsement of a bloody war for the throne.

Tonight, the capital was destined to be drenched in blood.

The original Lin Hanzhou, recognized by all as the "trash" of the royal family, naturally had no competitive edge.

Seventh Imperial Brother Lin Yuan did not want him dragged into this muddy water, which was why he had sent him out of the capital early to avoid disaster.

Before awakening these memories, this would indeed have been the best choice.

But now, for Lin Hanzhou, who had synchronized his cultivation from the real world, this throne was not necessarily beyond his reach.

According to the original owner's memories, the martial arts system of this world was roughly divided into the Post-Natal and Pre-Natal realms.

The Post-Natal realm was divided into nine stages, focusing on tempering the physical body to possess strength beyond that of an ordinary person.

The Pre-Natal realm was also divided into nine stages, building upon the foundation of the Post-Natal to open the body's meridians and channel spiritual energy within.

This realm allowed for the preliminary control of spiritual energy, marking one as a true martial arts expert.

To Lin Hanzhou, these two realms corresponded perfectly to the Body Tempering and Pulse Opening Realm of the high-martial world he came from.

In this way, his cultivation at the third stage of the Pulse Opening Realm was equivalent to the third stage of the Pre-Natal realm.

While this cultivation might not seem high, it was actually approaching the ceiling of the Great Sui world.

One must know that even in the entire Great Sui, the number of Pre-Natal experts did not exceed fifty.

Among them, the vast majority were at the first stage, those at the second stage numbered no more than ten, and those at the third stage were fewer than five.

As for anything above the third stage, it seemed that only the ancestor of the royal family had reached such a level.

From this, one could see just how valuable the third stage of the Pre-Natal realm was in this world.
