At seventy, Li Ye was old and frail, with no cultivation, no money, and no one to rely on. He had spent half his life plodding along, only to achieve nothing.
The years had worn away all his ambition. He had long since seen through the ways of the world and accepted his fate, waiting for his lifespan to run out so he could be buried in some desolate place.
But just as he closed his eyes and waited to die, the [Perfect Life System] suddenly awakened.
A cold, mechanical voice slowly rang out in his mind, laying out a dazzling future that should have been his:
“Host’s innate martial bones detected. This talent is unparalleled in the world. From the day you were born, you were destined to reach the pinnacle and become the foremost figure among all paths.
At ten, you would join a top immortal sect. At the sect tournament, you would overwhelm your peers in a battle that shook the world, earn the full tutelage of the sect elders, and master peerless cultivation arts with ease.
Your dazzling talent would win the hearts of immortal maidens from every sect. In the end, you would join hands with one of them to pursue immortality and become an enviable couple of cultivators...”
Li Ye listened to this splendid future in a daze. Gazing at the glorious life that should have been his, he fell into a long silence.
