Core theme: Taking "rejection of moral kidnapping" as the expression and "reshaping oneself and sticking to one's true heart" as the core. Through the law of cause and effect system, the protagonist becomes stronger through self-interested choices, reckons with the cause and effect of the past life, and finally breaks the shackles and ascends to immortality. The story combines elements of revenge novels, system flow and cultivation of immortality and enlightenment.
Protagonist status:
· Previous life: Lingyun Dao Zun, with heavenly spiritual roots, powerful in transcending tribulations. Because of his excessive kindness and "irreplaceable" value, he was kidnapped by the sect and family morals until he died (his spiritual roots were destroyed, his cultivation was exhausted, and his life span was less than 900/8000 years).
· This life: Lin Feng, a descendant of the family, with the same name and surname, was born without spiritual roots (a cripple), and was just bullied to death by his tribe. After the soul-piercing fusion, his personality is a combination of the determination and indifference of Taoist Master Lingyun in his previous life and the remaining kindness of the young boy in this life (as a point of inner conflict).
· The ultimate goal: to ascend to immortality and be the only one who is supreme. Never repeat the same mistakes, never give up the opportunity to become an immortal for any external things.
Goldfinger: System of Cause and Effect
· Trigger mechanism: Triggered when the protagonist faces a choice that may be "morally kidnapped" or affect his or her core interests.
· Option features: Normal options such as "altruistic (kidnapped)", "neutral (mediocre)" and "selfish (condemned by the world)" are usually provided. However, the system encourages the protagonist to follow his "original heart" and refuse to be bound by options.
· Reward core: Refusing kidnapping, insisting on self-interest, and cutting off cause and effect can often lead to optimal rewards (spiritual root enhancement, special skills, cultivation, etc.). Forcibly choosing "altruism" may result in small rewards and huge risks.
