[Year 121, Age 104.]
[Extracting trait tags...]
[Effect of "Luckier with Age" triggered!]
[Extraction successful!]
[“Unlimited White Porridge” (Prismatic Mythical):]
Kid, still worried about going hungry?
You can ignore all laws of reality and create a bowl of white porridge out of thin air. This effect is reusable with no restrictions.
[It's just a bowl of porridge.]
[Adjust trait tag?]
[Yes/No]
“Huh??”
Seeing the colored text, Chen Yi almost thought he was seeing things.
Looking again, it really was a Prismatic Mythical!
It was just the effect of this trait tag...
“Does this thing really deserve to be called mythical? Isn't that a bit too hasty?”
Living a long life really came with many benefits.
Of course, the trait tag system didn't have a pity mechanic.
It was just that Chen Yi figured if he drew enough times, even the lowest probability would eventually hit.
Besides, there was “Luckier with Age,” which slightly increased the probability of high-quality trait tags.
Although he didn't know exactly how much “slightly” was, or whether pulling a mythical was thanks to that “slightly.”
But that's how lottery was. Pure superstition.
Not knowing what this mythical was good for yet, Chen Yi didn't equip it.
—It definitely had some use, like going among the people to give alms, solving the common folks' food and clothing problems, which would enhance his faith. But doing that would require Chen Yi to sacrifice his own time, making it more costly than beneficial.
[You chose No.]
[In the past years, aside from cultivation and research, you accomplished one major feat.]
[Shattering the Void Through Martial Prowess!]
[You attempted to enter the Real Realm.]
[The Wall of Lamentation of the Void Realm was right before your eyes.]
[Although you had no hope in this lifetime, you still had many lives to live.]
[How could you be content with stopping at the Martial God realm?]
[To pursue higher realms, you could only go to the Real Realm.]
[However, opening the heavens was extremely difficult.]
[Once, you had already seen the cosmic light of the Real Realm, but several purple thunderbolts suddenly appeared and struck you out of the Spatial Turbulence.]
[After that, every time you were about to touch the Real Realm, you would be knocked back by this force.]
[At first, you thought this was “Heavenly Tribulation.”]
[Just like in cultivation novels.]
[But soon, you remembered something.]
[Back when you obtained the Sun Moon Tower in the Seven Luminaries dimension-elevation state.]
[The Sun Moon Tower had told you some things about the Great Demon, which we glossed over earlier. Now we can talk about it.]
[The Great Demon, this former Guardian, possessed the greatest destructive power throughout history.]
[After all, he was a Demonic Cultivator.]
[Among the three methods of entering the Real Realm, the Great Demon firmly believed he could Shatter the Void Through Martial Prowess.]
[He had indeed broken the barrier between the Void Realm and the Real Realm many times.]
[But every time, he was knocked back by a mysterious force.]
[At first, the Great Demon, like you, thought this was a tribulation that had to be endured to enter the Real Realm.]
[So he resisted it time and time again.]
[Until the day his lifespan was exhausted.]
[On that very day, he had an epiphany.]
[The Great Demon believed, what “Heavenly Tribulation”? It was all “man-made disaster”!]
[Someone in the Real Realm didn't allow him to enter, blocking his path to the Real Realm, looking down from above and knocking him back time and time again!]
[Remember those two sentences the Great Demon said?]
[...“No!! It is not Heaven and Earth rejecting me!!! It is all the work of some scoundrel!!! I am below, possessing the skill to open the heavens! They are above, engaging in despicable schemes!!”]
[...“I hate the heavens! They severed the other shore! My achievement is complete! Yet the Dao is not!”]
[From these two sentences, it can be seen that the Great Demon was an educated man.]
[The Great Demon really was an educated man.]
[The Sun Moon Tower told you that the Great Demon was originally a scholar who couldn't cultivate, with extremely poor talent. He failed the imperial examinations many times until he encountered the Demonic Path by chance, which began his legendary life.]
[Getting off track, from these two sentences, it can be seen that the Great Demon firmly believed someone was obstructing his ascension to the Real Realm.]
[Historical records from before the Ancient Era were all destroyed due to the war between the human world and the Demon World.]
[In the historical records after the Ancient Era, there was indeed no clear record of anyone ascending to the Real Realm.]
[In fact, even the term “Real Realm” never appeared.]
[Regardless of the truth.]
[Of the three methods Ji Wuqing mentioned, Shattering the Void Through Martial Prowess was a dead end.]
[The second was finding the Path to Immortality.]
[Currently, there were no leads.]
[The third was guidance from a Real Realm expert.]
[Second Sister could do it, but it was uncertain what her situation was now, and there was simply no way to contact her.]
[With no hope of ascending to the Real Realm, you could only invest your time and energy into other matters.]
[For example, continuing to investigate the Blood Moon and the mastermind behind many mysteries.]
[You admired this mastermind for two things.]
[First, he hid too well.]
[During the Seven Luminaries dimension-elevation, you could see every corner of the human world.]
[Although you didn't look closely at the faraway overseas regions, unless this mastermind was hiding deep in the edge of the world, which would be impressive.]
[As long as he was in the Five Regions, the non-distant overseas areas, or the Starry Domains, you should have been able to find him.]
[Why?]
[A being who had taken the Heaven and Earth Sword, could command the Blood Moon organization, helped the Dragon-Men open space passages, and secretly harmed the three Chief Commissioners of the Holy Lands was no ordinary person.]
[Powerful beings were like the moon among the stars. They were very conspicuous.]
[Second, you didn't know his goal.]
[From all the traces of the Blood Moon and the mastermind, you really couldn't understand what this guy was after.]
[Some of his actions were even self-contradictory.]
[Not knowing who he was, where he was, or what his goal was, how could one not admire this mastermind?]
[Five Regions, Baiyun County.]
[The county was now built up very prosperously, with a thriving population that even exceeded the scale of a prefecture city.]
[Why? Because this was God Yi's hometown.]
[A key support project of the Great Qian Female Emperor.]
[Later, feeling lonely living alone, you moved to Baiyun County town, staying at the location where your Third Brother-in-law's house used to be.]
[The old courtyard had long been demolished. The large residence you lived in now was newly built, spacious, bright, and scenic at every step.]
[Maybe as you were getting closer to your lifespan limit, you increasingly didn't want to live alone.]
[Your relatives and friends were all big shots in their own right, each with their own careers and cultivation.]
[So you adopted some orphans.]
[You didn't use “Ageless Male God,” nor did you do any grooming. The children all called you “Grandpa.”]
[Over a decade passed, and the earliest group of orphans had now grown up.]
[Some practiced martial arts, some became officials.]
[You didn't use any connections or resources for them, only providing material support.]
[Among the children practicing martial arts, if any had good talent and excellent aptitude, you would send them to the sects of your old friends.]
[If they were very average, you kept them by your side for comfort, giving occasional pointers. Whether they understood or not, it was up to fate.]
[One day, a group of important figures arrived at Baiyun County. They were the Chief Commissioners of the three reconstructed Holy Lands, the Sect Masters of the Eight Pillars of the Five Domains, the head and elders of the Shen Family of the Starry Domains, and other big shots.]
[They were all very low-key, dressed in plain clothes. They came to the main gate of your residence, bowed respectfully, and asked the servant to announce them, even giving the servant some tips.]
