[Cautious cultivation + fast-paced + unconventional + lighthearted + focused on gradual growth]
Bai Yao transmigrates into a fantasy world and activates the Life Creed Choice System.
At the start, he is offered two very different paths in life: “Shine Brightly” and “Keep a Low Profile and Grow.” The rewards are worlds apart!
He chooses to keep a low profile and grow!
From then on, Bai Yao takes the path of “playing it safe to the very end.”
When his beautiful senior sister warmly invites him out, he refuses without hesitation: “Senior Sister, cultivation comes first. We mustn't waste our time!”
His master sends him to compete in the sect tournament.
“Is this kind of high-profile job really my responsibility?”
To follow the way of “playing it safe” to the letter, he simply forfeits.
Don't ask. If you do, he'll tell you he can't win and is scared.
The System helps him check [Affection] and [Hatred], so he can keep track of what others think of him and avoid getting attacked from behind!
It can also identify potential threats such as [Chosen by Heaven] and [Natural Demon Womb].
With all sorts of growth-focused traits piling up, Bai Yao's cultivation and strength soar.
When people call him a “useless nobody,” he says he likes the nickname, then strikes at them from the shadows.
One day, disaster strikes the sect.
Just as everyone thinks they're about to meet their end, they discover that, somehow, a Great Emperor has appeared within the sect?!
And the person is the junior brother they've always treated as a nobody?!
How did he hide so much power?!
Just as Bai Yao decides he's strong enough to stop laying low and plans to make a high-profile exit from seclusion...
After three years of arduous cultivation with his Heavenly Spiritual Root, he rose from the fourth to the eighth level of Qi Refining. [Your current spiritual root attribute is a lightning-type Heavenly Spiritual Root! You possess an innate ability to control lightning!] He had only one thought: To become stronger! Stronger than everyone else! ... Three years later. Bai Yao slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a heavy breath. "Eighth level of Qi Refining!"
