New World: "Transmigrating 60 Years, Awakening the Longevity System After Retirement!"
Time Travel Mode: Protagonist replacement, complete replacement!
Sealing Mode: Complete Sealing!
Unlock Mode: None (Let the Uncle Reincarnation figure it out himself, anyway, this setting is practically useless - shrug. jpg)
Aura: Infinite Passive Negative Aura (activated). Isn't Ling Yi always invincible? This aura can directly reduce the Protagonist's gains to one-tenth of the normal state.
Ling Yi held the neatly folded court robes and official hat high above his head.
"Your Majesty, I, Ling Yi, am deeply aware of my declining wisdom and frail health, and I am powerless to help myself. I humbly request Your Majesty's permission to retire to my hometown and enjoy my remaining years in peace."
"Minister Ling, you have fought for our Great Yan Nation for over forty years, achieving numerous military exploits and earning an invincible reputation that Intimidation the world. If you were to retire, the surrounding nations would surely stir up trouble. I am terrified."
Ji Wuyun, who sat on the throne, was also nearly fifty years old. His face was full of wrinkles, his hair was completely white, and although he still had the aura of an emperor, he was already shrouded in Death Qi.
"Your Majesty, my mind is made up!"
From the time he began following Ji Wuyun in his conquests to the time he helped him ascend to the throne, almost forty years had passed.
Ling Yi knew this old guy's temperament and personality very well.
Fear? You're probably afraid that I, the Grand General who protects the nation, wield too much power and that my achievements are too great to threaten the emperor, aren't you?
The older Ji Wuyun gets, the stronger his desire for power becomes.
Meanwhile, the princes were vying for the throne, and their power struggles intensified. Ji Wuyun knew his days were numbered, and he feared that after his death, the princes would not be able to control him, the invincible general who protected the country.
Ling Yi had long seen through this, so he simply relinquished his military power, withdrew from the political arena, and retired to the mountains.
If he relinquishes power now, he might have a better outcome; it could be considered a wise retreat from the limelight.
Even so, to escape unscathed, one must prepare various backup plans.
The saying "The Wang Family is the most Emotionless " is not just an empty phrase.
Ling Yi is old and tired. He has fought his way through life, eaten his fill, seen his triumphs, and experienced glory. His life has been extraordinary enough.
If one can extricate oneself unscathed, that would be Perfection.
Ling Yi understands Ji Wuyun, Ji Wuyun understands Ling Yi in return.
In Ji Wuyun's heart, ever since Ling Yi followed him to conquer the world, he had always been wary and vigilant towards Ling Yi.
Although Ling Yi was A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, he possessed extraordinary intelligence, broad knowledge, and was a master strategist. His political acumen was also remarkable, and he was Proficiency in governing the country and implementing its policies.
The Great Yan Nation was able to unify more than a dozen surrounding countries, Xiaoxiao, within a few decades entirely thanks to Ling Yi. It can be said that without Ling Yi, there would be no Great Yan Nation.
Therefore, in the hearts of the people of the Great Yan Nation, they believed in the Great General who protected the country more than in him as the emperor.
Ji Wuyun had long wanted to reclaim military power, and even tried several times to secretly kill Ling Yi to eliminate any future trouble.
But at some point, a saying began to circulate Great Yan Nation.
"If General Zhenguo dies, he will surely be condemned by the imperial authority!"
The implication is that if Ling Yi were to suddenly die one day, it would definitely be because of him, the emperor.
Ji Wuyun knew this was Ling Yi's tactic; in Ling Yi's own words, it was called manipulating public opinion.
Even knowing this, Ji Wuyun was helpless.
Given Ling Yi's current immense prestige in the Great Yan Nation, if he were to truly die, the Great Yan Empire would likely transform from a powerful force into one besieged on all sides, facing both internal and external troubles in an instant.
Ling Yi truly lived up to the title of "one man who shakes a nation, one man who suppresses an entire generation!"
Therefore, Ji Wuyun not only cannot assassinate Ling Yi, but must also protect Ling Yi and ensure that Ling Yi is not harmed in the slightest.
Now that Ling Yi is retiring from the court, it is exactly what Ji Wuyun hoped to see.
Ji Wuyun stepped down from the throne and came to Ling Yi. He personally helped Ling Yi up and said, "Minister Ling, there's no need for this. Since it is your request, I will grant it."
"Today, the Great Yan Nation is thriving, its people are living in peace and prosperity, and its neighboring countries are subservient. This is all thanks to you, my dear minister. You have sacrificed so much for the Great Yan Nation. Back then..."
Ji Wuyun rambled on and on, which annoyed Ling Yi, but he pretended to reminisce.
"The imperial decree hereby grants the title of Grand General of the State and Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, a hereditary title, and also awards him a thousand acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the morning court session ended, Ling Yi left Yan Capital without stopping, not even accepting the emperor's reward, and disappeared without a trace, never to be heard from again.
Three months later, in the Southern Region of the Great Yan Nation, deep within the Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain Range, lies a valley.
The area boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is a delightful place to visit.
In front lies a clear lake, and behind it swaying bamboo groves, lush and vibrant with life.
On the flat land by the lake, there is a small courtyard.
The courtyard is small, but it has a classic and elegant charm.
At this moment, Ling Yi was dressed in coarse linen clothes and sitting on a blue stone by the lake, fishing.
The reason Ling Yi retired Later came here was not only because the environment was pleasant, far from human habitation, and not easily found by anyone.
This is because when Ling Yi first transmigrated to this world, he appeared right here.
Returning here can be considered a fitting end to a beginning; he came from here, and he will leave from here.
This completes a full Reincarnation.
However, at this moment, Ling Yi's hand holding the fishing rod was trembling slightly.
"Ding, the host's conditions are met. The Longevity Sign-In System is being activated. The system has been successfully activated, and the relevant information has been transferred to the host's memory. Please check it yourself."
The Longevity Sign-In System automatically grants a different lifespan each time you sign in, ranging from three to five years.
In other words, with this Longevity Sign-In System, as long as he signs in every day, he can Longevity and Immortality.
In addition, there will be a monthly check-in task at a designated location, and completing the check-in will also earn you other rewards besides lifespan.
There are two ways to check in through the system: daily check-in and monthly check-in at a designated location.
The system lacks any intelligence; it's a completely idiotic system. The rewards for signing in at designated locations each month are not explicitly stated.
Signing in is not mandatory; you can sign in if you want, or not if you don't. There are no reminders if you forget to sign in, and there is no perfect attendance bonus for signing in every day.
So-called Longevity is not about not dying. You can be beaten to death, poisoned, choked to death, or drowned... Only living is considered Longevity; once you die, you are gone.

The system interface was extremely rudimentary, just a blank sheet of paper with lines of Song typeface printed on it, without any formatting.
However, Ling Yi now has a question: what does "host conditions met" mean? What does this condition refer to? Is it age, or...?
Ling Yi looked around at the beautiful mountains and rivers. Should he perhaps choose to live in seclusion in the mountains?
Also, is this lifespan figure for real? If the system doesn't appear, am I only supposed to live to 65?
Okay, let's sign in first!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing today's check-in! Reward: 10 years of lifespan!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the monthly check-in at the designated location. You are rewarded with one Personal Space. Note: The size and storage range of this space will increase as your strength increases. It cannot hold living beings!"
With his lifespan increasing by 10 years, Ling Yi could clearly feel that his body was much lighter, and his previously weak body regained its strength.
Ling Yi looked at his reflection in the lake and realized he did look much younger.
At the same time, Ling Yi was able to clearly sense a special space.
The space is small, only 1 meter in length, width and height, and the loading and unloading range is also 1 meter.
In other words, within a one-meter radius, any inanimate object can be stored in Personal Space or released outwards with a thought.
With a thought, Ling Yi hollowed out a section of the Great Qing beneath his feet, as if a piece had been forcibly scooped away with a spoon.
My mind wandered, and the next moment, the Shitou that had been dug out suddenly appeared a meter in front of me, then fell into the lake with a splash.
This startled several fish in the lake. With a thought, one of the fish vanished from the lake and, in the next moment, was dead in Ling Yi's hand.
"This Personal Space seems a bit domineering." Ling Yi's eyes lit up.
This is just digging for Shitou and catching fish. If I were facing a person, wouldn't I be able to simply put their parts into my Personal Space whenever I wanted?
If it were the heart or brain, death would be certain.
In other words, as long as you're within 1 meter of Ling Yi, Ling Yi's invincible? Is this understanding correct?

[ Longevity Sign-In System ]
[Host: Ling Yi ]
[Lifespan: 62/75]
[Constitution: 1]
[ Divine Ability: Personal Space ]
[Today's check-in: 0]
[Check-in location this month: None]
The Personal Space has been placed in the [ Divine Ability ] category? That seems reasonable; this incredible Personal Space is practically equivalent to Divine Ability.
Ling Yi suddenly developed a strong interest in the monthly random location check-in activity.
The first time I checked in at the location, I was rewarded with the Divine Ability of Personal Space. What about next month?
I just don't know how the system calculates "month"—is it based on 30 days, or is it refreshed at the beginning of each month?
If it refreshes at the Yueyue, then today is the 25th, and there are still five days until next month.
Looking at the dead fish in his hand, Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Having traveled to this world for sixty-two years, this was the happiest and most relaxed time Ling Yi had ever experienced.
In his previous life, Ling Yi was already forty-five years old when he transmigrated.
Ling Yi is a late bloomer; he struggled for over twenty years without achieving anything, and it wasn't until he was forty that his career finally took off.
After that, everything went smoothly for him; he succeeded in everything he did, and by the age of forty-five, he had amassed a fortune of one billion.
Ling Yi's time travel was also quite ordinary.
At a university reunion, the spirited Ling Yi drank a little too much. In a daze, he opened his eyes and found himself transported to this world.
He went from a 45-year-old middle-aged Uncle to a newborn baby.
Ling Yi didn't experience Soul Transmigration, but rather a physical body transmigration, so Ling Yi is still Ling Yi.
However, during the time travel, some strange Changes occurred, and he was turned into a baby.
And the place he crossed happened to be right by this lake.
Fortunately, there was a small courtyard by the lake, where an old man who lived in seclusion in the mountains lived. He became the old man's godson.
Until he was fifteen, the old man suddenly disappeared on a stormy night.
I don't know if something happened in the mountains or if they left in a hurry.
Ling Yi searched all over the surrounding dozen or so hills, but couldn't find even a Shadow of the old man.
In Ling Yi's opinion, the old man was most likely in grave danger.
Ling Yi lived alone until he was seventeen before finally leaving the Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain Range.
This ushered in a completely new life for him, one that seemed to have been given a cheat code.
