After transmigrating, Ji Haoyue gains a golden finger: [Appraisal].
He can appraise anything.
[Appraisal] The big rooster by the door. Result: "Five-colored jeweled-feather chicken, with a trace of great demon bloodline."
[Appraisal] A scrap of rusty metal he casually dug out from beneath the house. Result: "A fragment of the True Martial Great Emperor's divine sword from the Primordial Era."
[Appraisal] His dilapidated house, half its roof tiles missing. Result: "The eye of the Zhuxian Formation!"
[Appraisal] The big white goose guarding the village entrance. Result: "Overlord of the Riverlands!"
Ji Haoyue laughs. This golden finger is pretty funny.
Until he points it at himself.
[Appraisal] Himself. Result: "Corpse of □□."
"You've touched upon an unspeakable terror. Text corrupted: K̵̢̨̛͇̙̪̫̘̹͍̎̄͌̊͋͑͘ư̴̧̡̙͍͎̪̙̰̫̮̎͌̓̈́͊̈͠r̸̡̛̯̹̟̙̳͍̰̖̘͙̓͌̅͌̈́͐̚͠ơ̷̢̙̙̺̟̳̫̹͈̙͙̂̓̈́͌̈́͒̑̚n̴̢̧̛̙̺̳̟̫͍̪̫͙͍̓͊̈́͒̌̓͝į̴̡̛̙̺̟̳̫̹͈̖͙̓̈́͌̈́͒̚͠k̷̢̨̛͇̙̪̫̘̹͍̎̄͌̊͋͑͘a̴̧̡̛̙͍̎͌̓̈́͊̈͠.̸̡̛̯̹̟̙̳͍̰̖̘͙̓͌̅͌̈́͐̚..."
Ji Haoyue goes from doubtful to gradually numb.
He climbs onto the courtyard wall, refusing to believe it, and points at the neighbor's orphan child, whom he just fed a mouthful of mare's milk. Surely even this little brat next door can't have some great background, can he?!
[Appraisal] The little kid next door, spitting up milk. Result: "Protagonist. The Dragon-Ao Tian himself!"

As Ji Haoyue's cultivation advances and his realm breaks through, the descriptions from [Appraisal] become more and more detailed.
He starts seeing long explanations that describe an item's history and current state.
By chance, he meets again the little neighbor he once raised on mare's milk.
Ji Haoyue immediately uses [Appraisal] on him.
"Protagonist, the Dragon-Ao Tian himself: Li Fan, Li Yutang. Known as Lord Yutang, with the verse 'The Blood River never rises to shade Yutang.' Born under the sign of bloodshed, destined to slaughter every god and Buddha beneath the heavens.
His defining character is 'Kill.' He bears the fortune of this era. He is destined to become an emperor!"
"Current status: under the effects of an aphrodisiac (highlighted in red)."
"Inner thoughts: After drinking so much of your milk, I've finally found you. Man, do you know who I am? I'm the ruler of this age, the dream of cultivators, the reflection of the sky. Follow me, and I'll guarantee you a path to the Great Dao. I'm so hot. I really want to *, I want to be ** by you."
Amid the cries of onlookers, Ji Haoyue watches the protagonist himself descend from the sky, clad in black, arrogant, desire dark in his eyes, and his mouth suddenly twitches.
No, wait, bro.
A heroine's script has fallen from the sky and landed on the protagonist's former wet nurse.

On the final day of this era, Ji Haoyue wears white robes and holds a Taixu fan, standing above countless worlds.
At last, he [Appraisal]s himself one more time.
An alarm suddenly rings:
"Powerful beyond calculation."
"A god among men, Lu Bu among horses!"
"After transmigrating for two hundred years, you truly made the protagonist your mount and rode the Dragon-Ao Tian himself."
"The protagonist conquers the world, but you conquer the protagonist. The pride of men lies beneath your feet, eating your dust in defeat."
"Hunyuan Great Emperor, Dao Ancestor in body. The first person in the Transcendent Realm throughout all history. You fooled all of humanity once. Purged them once. Made fools of them once. Then you climbed over them to the summit of the world."
"The transmigrator and king of man-on-man love, the scoundrel and lord of the unyielding lotus. Master of the alphabet. The closer your hand is to the sword hilt, the further away you set the protagonist."
"Bestowed titles: Dragon (Ao Tian) Knight, Peerless Douluo, the Starting Point's Destructive Beast. King of Scoundrels."
"Peerless Demon Lord!"
Ji Haoyue waves his paper fan lightly, his two long sideburns fluttering in the wind. He smiles faintly.
"Heh heh, you're too kind!"
