"Beep—"

"Beep—beep—"

"BEEP!!!"

Two sun-like beams of light shone onto Lin Jing's face, stinging his eyes so badly he couldn't open them.

The relentless, continuous blaring of a Dayun truck's horn rang in his ears.

Lin Jing struggled to open his eyes, desperate to see the license plate of this truck.

What if he could get another life?

He had to report this truck!

However,

Lin Jing did see the plate, but he couldn't make out the numbers,

because... it was covered in a thick layer of grime,

completely illegible!

"Why!"

These three words echoed in Lin Jing's ears.

They were filled with nothing but resentment.

He had grown up in an orphanage, with no parents, no friends, and no family.

Today, he had finally landed a job with decent benefits.

He was so excited he couldn't sleep, lying in bed.

He just wanted to grab a late-night snack to celebrate.

Who would have thought,

the moment he hopped onto his beloved little scooter, he would be slammed head-on by a Dayun truck that had lost control due to excessive speed.

Especially those mini-sun headlights on the truck,

they looked just like Black and White Impermanence beckoning Lin Jing to come over.

In an endless void of darkness, Lin Jing's body was the only source of light in the area.

He radiated a faint white glow.

[Ding, congratulations to the host.]

[Prerequisites for binding to this system met:]

[Head-on collision with a Dayun truck, successful!]

Lin Jing's consciousness slowly cleared.

"Is this... the underworld?"

After taking in his surroundings, he muttered.

[Ding!]

[This is the system space, not the underworld.]

An electronic voice with a hint of emotion rang out in Lin Jing's mind.

"System?"

Lin Jing rubbed his temples. "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

[You are not, host.]

[On that blue planet, you stood alone, confronting the Dayun truck.]

[After 7,869 rounds of confrontation, you were one move short and narrowly defeated by the Dayun truck.]

Lin Jing: "..."

After the initial shock, he fully recalled what had happened on the Blue Star.

What kind of nonsense was "confronting a Dayun truck for 7,869 rounds," and "one move short," for heaven's sake.

It was clearly a 9-1 split.

In one second, the truck turned him into nine pieces.

"System, you said this is your space, so what kind of system are you?"

"Are you a tycoon system, or one that rewards me with luxury cars and mansions for checking in?"

A goofy, fanboy-like grin spread across Lin Jing's face.

[Ding!]

[This system is named:]

[Universe-Invincible - Super Thunderbolt - Thunder Roulette - Lottery System!]

Lin Jing stared, dumbfounded, at the long string of text appearing before him.

"Fine, fine, Thunder System."

Lin Jing raised a finger and poked at the air a couple of times.

"So, which parallel world am I heading to next?"

The page didn't react, so Lin Jing lowered his hand and asked directly.

[Ding!]

[It seems the host is already impatient to start a new life~]

[Let us begin the first roulette draw!]

As soon as the Thunder System's mechanical voice finished,

a roulette wheel several times taller than Lin Jing descended from the sky.

Above the wheel,

the four characters "World Travel" caught his eye.

The wheel had no flashy designs; it was plain and simple, consisting only of rewards and a pointer.

"I have to draw for this too?"

Lin Jing looked at the wheel.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple segments were arranged neatly.

Inside the segments were various novel worlds Lin Jing was familiar with.

But he didn't feel a shred of excitement,

because...

Look at these hellish worlds on the wheel!

Mysterious Recovery, Deadman's Scripture, Lord of the Mysteries, Renegade Immortal, Dao of the Weird Immortal, Great Love Immortal.

After seeing a few of the worlds on the wheel, Lin Jing almost felt like ending his third life right then and there.

"Can I swap these out?"

Lin Jing raised his hand in despair to protest.

[Host, this is not a karaoke bar.]

The Thunder System's voice sounded a bit aggrieved.

These were all carefully selected worlds, every one of them a masterpiece!

To think this host was so ungrateful!

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lin Jing took a deep breath and patted his chest slowly.

"At least there are Battle Through the Heavens and Soul Land here."

He had been unlucky his whole life; it was time for his luck to turn.

"Spin it, System."

Lin Jing closed his eyes, his tone appearing calm as water, though in reality, he had no other choice.

[Alrighty!]

Upon receiving the command, the Thunder System complied.

The massive wheel began to spin rapidly.

After about three seconds, the rotation slowed down.

Lin Jing could clearly see which area the pointer was hovering over.

At that moment, the pointer was on the red area, the world of Mysterious Recovery.

However, the wheel continued to spin, and the pointer slowly moved toward the world of Lord of the Mysteries.

By the time it reached Lord of the Mysteries, the speed was minimal.

It looked like it was about to stop.

"Spin! Spin! Spin!"

Lin Jing shouted anxiously.

He tried to use his voice to interfere with the wheel, urging it to keep moving.

Right next to Lord of the Mysteries was the world of Soul Land.

Just a little more, just a tiny bit more.

Lin Jing pressed his palms together, praying devoutly.

The roulette did not fail Lin Jing's expectations.

It rotated slowly,

and only after it barely reached the blue area representing Soul Land did it come to a halt.

"Soul Land."

A cold, emotionless mechanical voice came from inside the wheel.

This voice was completely different from the system's, which had a soul.

"Defying the heavens and changing fate!"

Lin Jing was truly excited this time; he jumped up in joy.

After calming down, Lin Jing asked the system, feeling a bit puzzled.

"System, when do we start the travel?"

[Ding!]

[You may begin once the host has finished spinning the next few wheels.]

"There are more wheels?"

Lin Jing was stunned, then said with anticipation, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's start!"

After the tense and thrilling draw just now, Lin Jing had fallen deeply in love with the feeling.

[You got it!]

The Thunder System agreed.

The content on the wheel in front of him changed instantly.

The original "World Travel" characters changed to "Travel Period."

Lin Jing looked closely; the segments now contained:

Tang San at age six, 100 years before Tang San's birth, 200 years before Tang San's birth, Tang Hao's era, Tang Chen's era, the era of the first Sea God and Angel God...

The content of this wheel had increased significantly, and as a result, the colored segments had narrowed quite a bit.

Each segment had gone from the width of a palm to the width of a finger.

Of course, there was an exception: Tang San at age six, which took up the largest portion, occupying almost half of the wheel.

"Spin!"

The wheel didn't include the period after Tang San became a god, which was excellent news for Lin Jing.

With this Thunder System, no matter the era, Lin Jing was confident he could dominate the world!

The wheel began to spin, its speed astonishingly fast.

Under Lin Jing's gaze, the speed gradually slowed.

Finally,

it settled on the green area representing Tang San at age six.

"Tang San at age six."

The same familiar, cold, emotionless mechanical voice emanated from within the wheel.
