   Reader note

   Without any bottom line or morality, the protagonist experiences no inner struggle, his sole focus being returning home, yet he remains unmoved by the emotions of his family (including those from his own Earth)—truly a heartless, ruthless, emotionless, and devoid of compassion. Other books: The protagonist transmigrates to another world, awakens a cheat-like ability, and proves the saying "Don't underestimate a young man's potential." This book: The natives of another world hold a grand meeting and conduct a "soul-summoning ceremony"—sounds like an awakening, right? In reality, it's a mass summoning of transmigrators to possess their bodies! All the young people of the tribe become vessels for wandering spirits, while the original owner's soul is completely annihilated. Our protagonist, Zhao Riqiancun, is reborn. In his previous life, he was hunted by transmigrators for 300 years. In this life, he returns to the eve of the soul-summoning ceremony, watching his tribesmen being possessed one by one. He's not only unfazed, but even somewhat amused—because this is the moment he's been waiting for, the hunt. The most incredible thing is that his genius brother, with "seven-star full aptitude," is also possessed by a transmigrator after the ceremony. Two brothers, one a reborn demon, the other a wandering soul from beyond the heavens, put on a show of acting face-to-face, calling each other "brother" and "younger brother," while secretly plotting to splatter the other's brains. This fake brotherhood is truly laughable! Traditional fantasy: a useless person endures hardship, aptitude tests, and being humiliated at the academy. This book: The protagonist has a one-star aptitude but doesn't care about cultivation at all. In his past life, he was a five-stroke demonic master; in this life, he relies on 300 years of killing experience to take on everyone. Encountering an insider at the blacksmith shop? He silences them with a single sword strike. Someone surrounds him at the academy? He clears them out. Pretending to be the older brother to deceive the Zuo family patriarch? His schemes are masterful! No system! No old grandfather! No "thirty years east of the river" (a metaphor for a period of good fortune)! The protagonist is all about one word: kill. He treats the entire town like leeks to be harvested; anyone who stands in his way home dies.

    The wind outside seemed to pick up, swirling snowflakes that pattered against the thatched roof, making a soft, rustling sound, like some kind of reptile crawling. Outside the woodshed, extremely faint, hesitant footsteps came, stopping at the door. The footsteps were weak, trembling noticeably, each step spaced far apart. The person inside was clearly weak and extremely nervous. "Han... Han Li-ge? Are you in there?" A thin, timid girl's voice seeped through the crack in the door, broken and fragmented by the cold wind. The voice trembled noticeably, her breathing rapid, interspersed with faint coughs. She was clearly extremely weak, yet afraid of being discovered, carrying a desperate courage. The memory index quickly retrieved relevant information: Han Xiaoyu, an orphan from a collateral branch, fourteen years old, Qi Transformation Level 1. Years ago, when Han Li was still a genius, she had twice spoken up to stop her from being bullied by other children. Later, after Han Li became a cripple, she would occasionally secretly save half a pancake and slip it through the crack in the door. Her current state clearly indicated that she had been subjected to long-term food shortages, and her survival was precarious. Leng Yuan did not respond. "I... I just saw Zhang Kui run over in a panic, his crotch was all wet... Li Hu seemed to be talking about you too." Han Xiaoyu lowered her voice even further, paused, and added, "Also, Young Master Li Mingxuan returned from the Black Wind Mountains at noon today and went straight to the secret room behind the family's medicine hall..." "When I secretly went to dispose of the medicine dregs, I heard the senior brother on duty inside whisper that the things Young Master Li brought back were incredibly sinister... Even the inner wall of the Xuan Iron Medicine Cauldron was covered with a layer of white frost..." "He said he was going to refine the Mother Gu, and it needed to be nurtured with the vengeful spirits and evil energy of the Black Wind Ruins... Li Cang personally changed the lock on the secret room door, and only he and Li Mingxuan have the key..." Her voice carried a barely perceptible urge to survive. This was the instinct of the weak at the bottom to cling to others, gambling with the only information she had in exchange for possible protection. She knew that with her meager skills, she wouldn't survive long in the cruel Han family. Li Hu and his gang were tyrannical, and Li Mingxuan was even more unfathomable. Only Han Li, who had suddenly become different, might offer her a glimmer of hope. Deep within Leng Yuan's consciousness, fragments of clues rapidly pieced together, forming a clear picture. Li Mingxuan had just returned from the Black Wind Mountains, and the Black Wind Ruins were the suspected source of this chilling secret technique; the timeline fit perfectly. The Yin Qi condensing into frost and refining the Mother Gu were not things that ordinary Yin materials could achieve. This was irrefutable proof of the caster's identity. "I understand," Leng Yuan finally spoke, her voice still calm, revealing neither joy nor anger. There was a moment of silence outside the door. Then, something was carefully slipped in through the crack in the door. Half a cold, hard coarse flatbread, the edges still retaining a trace of warmth from the girl's palm, carrying a faint smell of sweat. The fingers that slipped the flatbread trembled violently, the frostbite on the fingertips slightly reddening in the cold wind from the crack in the door, the skin dry and cracked. After putting it down, it was quickly pulled back. A series of hurried and staggering footsteps could be heard, quickly fading into the distance. She feared her kindness would be rejected, and even more so, she feared Li Hu and the others would discover her contact with Han Li. Leng Yuan's gaze fell on the half-eaten coarse bread, but he didn't pick it up immediately. Kindness in this world is a luxury, and even more so, a dangerous illusion. It cannot be quantified, cannot be stored, and can easily be corrupted by self-interest, fear, or simple forgetfulness. After a moment, he bent down and picked up the half-eaten bread, his fingertips touching the coarse crumbs and a trace of residual warmth. He placed this half-eaten bread with the white bread he had previously hidden. Not out of gratitude, but because this half-eaten bread could provide him with about two more hours of basic energy support at a crucial moment. This was a measurable and usable reserve resource. In the instant his consciousness processed this ineffective action, a certain thread seemed to run for a few more moments before returning to calm. Not out of emotion, but to calculate whether there were other risks hidden behind this kindness. The conclusion was, for the time being, none. Han Xiaoyu's strength was too weak to pose a threat; her informational value far exceeded the value of this half-eaten bread. Outside the window, the snow had finally stopped. The pale moonlight, like the one-eyed spy, struggled to pierce through the thick clouds and gaps in the thatched roof, casting a few blurry patches of light on the cold, damp ground, like festering wounds. At the edges of these patches were thick, impenetrable shadows. Just like this world, light is always merely an embellishment; darkness is the underlying tone.
