Lu Chenzhou, a top genius of the Tianxuan Continent, died an unjust and inexplicable death after being betrayed.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back at fifteen, at an age when none of the tragedies had yet come to pass. On the third day after being reborn, an entity calling itself the Destiny Reincarnation System descended into his mind, issuing missions, rewarding cultivation, and offering guidance. A textbook golden finger from the start, and a textbook comeback story.
But Lu Chenzhou's previous death had been too bitter. He had learned one thing: good fortune doesn't fall from the sky.
He appeared to obey, while watching in secret. At last, by chance, he discovered the System's true nature: it was no heavenly opportunity, but a possession trap carefully devised by the ancient demigod Xuanming. Every mission gnawed away at his soul, and every upgrade added another stitch to the clothes being prepared for someone else.
Worse still, Xuanming's consciousness was beginning to awaken. Lu Chenzhou had little time left.
Before he was devoured, he had to find a way to remove the System. The only clue pointed to a remnant soul senior who had once been parasitized by a System, and an ancient ruin concealing forbidden secrets...
