To save his younger sister, Lin Yi takes on a powerful conglomerate alone, leaving the siblings with nowhere to turn.
Just as all hope seems lost, a voice claiming to be the "Myriad Laws Emotion System" reaches out to him: Go to another world and complete missions. When you return, I'll take care of everything.
Lin Yi agrees. When he opens his eyes again...
His identity: a furnace cauldron of the Acacia Sect. His cultivation: the third level of Qi Refining. His date with death: three days away, when Elder Hong Ji will drain his essence.
Fortunately, the System is genuinely useful. Every emotion people in this world feel because of him, from shock and anger to fear and admiration, turns into emotion points. He can freely exchange them for techniques and pills, and once he has enough points, he can simply "steal" abilities others have demonstrated and use them himself.
And so, the demonic lair takes an unexpected turn.
The furnace cauldrons stop crying and line up to listen as he tells his heavily revised version of Journey to the West.
The icy, stern enforcement saintess is talked into becoming his "partner" in just a few words.
At the sect's trial, he turns the tables by whipping out a contract of indenture, sending the mastermind to an untimely end on the spot.
From the Qingyang branch to the Guiyun headquarters, from claiming first place at the Prodigy Tournament to becoming a main force on the battlefield between immortals and demons, others spend a century in arduous cultivation while he reaps a harvest of emotions. Lin Yi grinds his way into becoming the cultivation world's greatest prodigy, and turns the entire cultivation world into an emotion ATM.
Only when he reaches the summit does he realize the truth: the System has been deceiving him all along.
This isn't a novel world at all. Fiends from beyond the heavens surround them, the Heavenly Dao lies near death in slumber, and the calamity of ten thousand years ago never truly ended.
And the younger sister he has spent half his life searching for seems to be right by his side...
