The Era of Spirit Origins: Lin Tianliu's Rise

Lin Tianliu's life goal was simple: look after his family's nearly bankrupt antique shop and muddle through until death.

Then one day, purple qi came from the east, spiritual qi revival swept the globe, and the world changed overnight.

Some people could conjure fire in their palms, while others flew on swords. He merely activated his family's broken compass.

He thought it was just a "worthless appraisal tool" with no combat ability, but gradually realized something was off.

[Ding! Analyzing Basic Qi Refining Method. Deduction complete: Chaos Dao Scripture, Fragment.]

[Ding! Analyzing Bewitching Demonic Art. Host gains permanent Mental Resistance +10.]

[Ding! Analyzing Ghost King-level resentment. Key information obtained: It's afraid of the square-dancing BGM played by Old Zhang next door.]

While the various prodigies were fighting tooth and nail over a single secret art, Lin Tianliu had already built a database of cultivation methods.

While the bigwigs from all sides cautiously explored secret realms, Lin Tianliu had already drawn up a guide to monster weaknesses.

He'd only wanted to quietly make a fortune as a happy "information broker," until the remnant soul of an ancient being spoke to him through the compass:

"Kid, stop selling conquest guides. What you've analyzed is the fate of this entire world."

Lin Tianliu looked at himself in the mirror and sighed. "So in the end, even my top-tier support skill has to be upgraded into a violent damage-dealing one?"
