Lin Fan is reborn in the cultivation world. He waits three years for the System, but nothing comes of it, so he jumps off a cliff in despair.
System: [Host attempting suicide detected! Initiating... Oh crap, not enough energy! Activating emergency escape mode!]
Lin Fan is overjoyed, then instantly freezes: All my worldly possessions, three low-grade spirit stones, and the System ran off with them?!
[Host, you can't die! Hurry and cling to the Son of Fortune over there! Help me!]
And so, when Lin Fan uses stolen Earth Crystal yams to roast the cultivation world's first sweet potato, its fragrance wafting ten miles, he successfully cons his way into the company of the aloof, icy Xiao Heng.
Twist one: Xiao Heng's cheeks are suspiciously puffed out, and his eyes are sparkling!
Twist two: Xiao Heng says coldly, "Lin Fan? The little mouse who blew himself up while clutching a supreme-grade elixir a thousand years ago?"
Twist three: The cowardly System trembles as it says, [My previous Host... was the one who blew himself up... He blasted me to pieces... That's why I'm such a coward...]
Lin Fan: ??? So I'm not the only one who was reborn? The System that screwed me over is my enemy's legacy? Can this cultivation-world plot get any more ridiculous?! Forget it, staying alive comes first... Would you like another roasted sweet potato?
