The System Says I'm a Good-for-Nothing

In the eightieth year of Chen Xuan's closed-door cultivation, he finally reached the threshold of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Just as he prepared to break through the final barrier in one last push, a crisp notification suddenly rang in his mind:

"Ding! The strongest comeback System has been activated. Scanning Host's current status..."

Chen Xuan froze.

A System?

He had transmigrated eighty years ago, and the System was only showing up now?

Before he could react, the System spoke again:

"Scan complete. Host's current cultivation level: Qi Refining, third stage (fake). Assessment: good-for-nothing genre opening. Recommendation: begin your comeback from the broken engagement plot."

Chen Xuan looked down at the Tribulation Transcendence spiritual energy surging inside him, then at the words "Qi Refining, third stage" on the System panel. He fell into a long silence.
