As the smoke of war congeals into ink and soaks through the tattered battle flags, Chen Xiao's fingers dig into the bloodstained earth. A broken arrow still twists in his lower right abdomen, mingling the stench of rotting leaves and flesh. He thought this battlefield, littered with corpses, would be the end. He never expected the mechanical voice that suddenly exploded in his mind to mark the beginning of his own "cheat mode" in this chaotic age:
"Host detected on the brink of death. Your body will be repaired once for free! But fair warning, you're weak as a kitten right now. Push your luck, and I'll find another Host!"
Other people's Systems are obedient golden fingers. His System is not only sharp-tongued and insulting, but can also listen to his inner grumbling in real time. When the beginner's gift pack gives him the "Wuji Mystical Art" and "Taiji Swordplay," when idle cultivation automatically absorbs spirit stones, and when his storage backpack turns a bronze sword invisible, Chen Xiao finally understands: this is no ordinary System, but a thorny golden finger. It calls him an "idiot" even as it drives him toward the pinnacle of power and strength.
The moment he crawls out of the ruins of Qingchuan City, he has already seen a child's corpse clutching bloody chaff in a rice jar, a naked woman's body soaking in a dye vat, and the broken hair of a young girl tangled around a shattered embroidery frame. The System says, "This is war." But he will not become one of the corpses. He will cleave through mountains of bodies and seas of blood with god-tier techniques, and crush the rules of this chaotic age with the spiritual energy he gains through idle cultivation.
This is the rise of a dynasty!
