Lu Chen was once the most dazzling genius in the Lu family. But after an accident damaged his dantian and wiped out his cultivation, he fell from the clouds to the depths, becoming a good-for-nothing in everyone's eyes. The cold stares and mockery from his family, along with the bullying and exclusion he faced outside, swept over him like a tide and nearly left him unable to breathe.
One day, Lu Chen sat alone in an abandoned cave dwelling on the back mountain, staring blankly outside. Suddenly, a strange light fell from the sky and shot straight into the space between his brows. His mind roared. Then a cold, mechanical voice rang out in his head: "Eligible Host detected. Heaven-Defying Cultivation System activated!"
Lu Chen froze, then was overcome with joy. A System? Wasn't that the legendary thing that could help someone defy fate and change their life? He hurriedly asked in his mind, "You... you can restore my cultivation?"
"This System exists to help its Host rise against the heavens. Restoring your cultivation is only its most basic function." The System's voice was cold and firm. "But everything depends on your own efforts. The System will provide missions, rewards, and cultivation resources to help you climb to the peak, step by step."
