Chapter 1: After Hardship Comes Happiness
🕑 Added 2025-03-05 10:56:33 +0000 UTCDouluo Continent.
This is a world of martial spirits. There is no fancy magic, no fighting spirit that has grown to its peak. What there is… is only the complex and changeable martial spirits!
…
At night, the moon is high in the sky.
The soft moonlight falls on a small courtyard.
“Alas, after transmigrating and living for twenty-six years, I have accomplished nothing…”
A young man dressed in white with his hair tied up, dressed like an immortal, sighed to the moon with a dejected look on his face.
His name is Ye Cheng, and he is a transmigrator. In his previous life, he came from Earth. After his accidental death, he was reincarnated into this world and became the young master of the Ye family in Baiyun City.
The Ye family of Baiyun City is just a small family in Douluo Continent. The ancestral martial spirit Feihong Sword is a sword-type martial spirit with decent offensive power. It is not as good as the top martial spirits on the continent like Seven Kill Sword, but it can barely be classified as a superior martial spirit.
The strongest person In the entire Ye family is Ye Cheng’s biological mother, Ye Lisa, who is over 40 years old and is at the Soul Emperor level.
With the protection of a Soul Emperor mother, Ye Cheng has been pampered since birth. Even when he awakened his martial soul at the age of six, his martial soul mutated into an ordinary iron sword, and he had no innate soul power. No one in the family dared to give him a bad look, so he still lived a comfortable life.
If it continues like this, it wouldn’t be bad.
Ye Cheng will live his life peacefully under the protection of his mother. He is a waste, so what? He is not the only waste in the world.
But soon, all of this came to nothing short of his awakening his martial soul.
The Ye family was attacked by their enemies.
That night, the entire Baiyun City was littered with corpses.
All this happened too suddenly. The other party had obviously planned it in advance. It seemed that they had also joined forces with other family forces. In just one night, they uprooted the Ye family in Baiyun City and slaughtered them all!
Only Ye Cheng was sent into a secret tunnel by his mother, and he was lucky enough to escape.
Before leaving, his mother gave him a storage ring that contained most of the Ye family’s resources, and a mysterious jade pendant. It was a seven-color jade pendant that looked like a small pagoda. She told him to seek refuge in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect!
Ye Cheng was a little puzzled, but soon he understood his life story through his mother’s narration. It turned out that his biological father in this life was Ning Fengzhi, the current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, one of the top three sects.
Although his biological father was of prominent status, his playboy father might not even know that he had a son. Even his mother was just a casual lover.
In other words, he was an illegitimate child who was not allowed to see the light of day. Ning Fengzhi had many illegitimate children like him…
But it doesn’t matter, as long as he holds the jade pendant and tells his mother’s name, he can definitely prove his identity!
At that time, because of this blood relationship, no matter what, even if his talent is poor, at least he will be properly placed.
Afterwards, Ye Cheng was pushed into the tunnel.
Although he was very sad, he knew that he couldn’t change anything. So he could only try his best to escape…
Afterwards, he did not go to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to seek refuge as his mother had instructed.
Because he knew that he could not become a soul master, even if he went there he would not be taken seriously at all, at most he would be treated as a parasite for the rest of his life.
This was definitely not what he wanted, and there was no way the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would avenge a waste like him.
So if he wanted revenge, he had to rely on himself!
As a transmigrator, he still had a certain amount of luck at this time. He thought that he might be able to make a name for himself in this world with the knowledge that was different from this world in his previous life. Or he could create another path!
For example, practicing martial arts, cultivating immortals, etc. Then he could be called the ancestor of martial arts or immortals.
All I can say is that this is pure arrogance and mysterious self-confidence of a time traveler.
As a result, now I am twenty-six years old.
After twenty years of wasting time, I still have achieved nothing.
In fact, he should have thought of this earlier. In this world where martial spirits determine everything, if your martial spirit is not good, then you will not be good at anything. Without innate spirit power, all his paths have been blocked. How can the rules of the world be changed by human power?
In his dreams at midnight, he hated this evil God countless times. If he could just give him a little innate soul power, it would be fine. At least he could practice. Even if he practiced for a lifetime, he probably wouldn’t be able to become a great soul master. But at least he had a direction to strive for. He wouldn’t be like now, accomplishing nothing and still being an ordinary person.
What made him feel most uncomfortable was that this world that he was so familiar with suddenly had some unexpected problems for some unknown reason.
About six years ago.
Something called random quiz suddenly appeared on the entire Douluo Continent, which would randomly limit people in a certain area to participate in a quiz with prizes.
These questions may be multiple choice questions, essay questions, or other open-ended questions. In short, those who answer correctly will receive various rewards, but the price of answering incorrectly is to lose something important on your body, such as martial spirit, spirit ring, spirit power… or even worse, die on the spot!
Once upon a time, a man was deprived of eighty years of life because he answered a question incorrectly. As a result, the young man, who looked less than twenty years old, had his black hair turn white on the spot, and died of aging in just a few breaths!
It was so terrifying.
At the same time, all intelligent creatures in the entire Douluo Continent, whether human or soul beast, as long as their IQ is above the passing line, will be pulled into a huge chat room or live broadcast room, where they can communicate with each other.
Six years have passed since this mysterious question and answer appeared.
There are dozens of Q&A sessions, which are randomly asked at random times and places. The questions are basically about things that happened in the past or will happen in the future. After answering the questions, whether you are right or wrong, some videos related to the questions will start playing.
People didn’t believe it at first, until they gradually verified that the videos played in the live broadcast room were indeed things that happened in the past and would happen in the future, only then did they really believe the authenticity of this mysterious question and answer.
The people of this world speculated that this terrifying question and answer might be the masterpiece of the gods in the sky. As for why the gods came up with such a thing, it was not something that mortals like them could know. Anyway, mortals like them could not resist it, so if that was the case, they could only accept it.
But unlike the natives of this world, Ye Cheng had read this kind of spoiler-type fan fiction before he traveled through time in his previous life. Some of those novels were pure group portrait novels, and the so-called questions and answers did not have any mastermind behind the scenes, but were just a simple mechanical question-and-answer mechanism. But there were also some novels of this type, where the protagonist was behind the scenes controlling the story.
Ye Cheng didn’t know if there was a protagonist behind the questions and answers in the Douluo Continent where he was. So he had been very quiet for the past six years, even for those questions that did not limit the answerers and could be answered by anyone. He, the Emperor of Truth who had read the original Douluo novel, did not come forward to try to get some benefits for himself.
After all, if there really is someone behind the scenes controlling this question and answer session, then when he answers questions that the local natives have no chance of answering correctly, wouldn’t he be completely exposing his identity as an outsider?
But as time went by, seeing that many people gained benefits and changed their destiny by answering the questions correctly, Ye Cheng gradually couldn’t help but want to answer the questions regardless of the consequences.
He wanted to take a gamble and bet that there was no mastermind behind the quiz.
If you bet right, your destiny will change forever.
If you bet wrong, the worst that can happen is death.
So Ye Cheng decided that next time there is an open question and answer session that anyone can answer, he must answer it first!
…
“bite!”
A clear voice suddenly sounded in my mind.
Ye Cheng, who was sighing at the moon, was stunned. He thought he was selected by the horror question and was about to answer the question. Suddenly, a mechanical prompt sounded in his mind, making him stagnate.
[…The role-playing system has been successfully started! ]
The expression on Ye Cheng’s face gradually changed from dull to ecstatic!
Golden Finger!
His transmigrator cheat finally arrived!!!
And the changes don’t stop there.
Soon, the system prompts sounded again.
[Other systems are detected in the current world…]
[After testing, it was found to be the remnant of the destruction of other systems, and confirmed to be an ownerless plug-in “Live Spoiler System”…]
[Capturing and absorbing… 1%... 10%... 16%...]
【Absorption failed, system energy is insufficient. 】
[The current absorption progress is 50%, and low-level permissions have been obtained. ]
[Tip: If you want to completely absorb it, you need to obtain the highest authority of the “Live Spoiler System”. Please play hard, collect energy, and assist the system to upgrade the version, so that you can completely absorb this ownerless plug-in. ]
【Please enter the system interface for details. 】
After a dazzling series of prompts.
Ye Cheng took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down.
Then he opened the system interface with his mind.
[Roleplay system – make up a character. The more people believe in it and feel shocked, yearning, fearful, etc. for it, the character will eventually become real!
Current roleplay: None.
Played by: None.
External plug-in: Live broadcast spoiler system – 50% (Currently insufficient absorption progress, only low-level permissions, can ask questions at will, fabricate and tamper with videos, set Q&A rewards and penalties. But cannot obtain Q&A rewards. Only by obtaining 100% of the highest permissions can you control everything in the system.)]
Study the panel carefully for a while.
Ye Cheng finally figured out the cause and effect.
First of all, this role-playing system should be his time traveler’s golden finger. The function is also very simple, that is, to let him make up a character and play this character. For example, if he makes up a character of Sun Wukong, the more people believe in his character and believe that he has all the abilities of Sun Wukong… When the final role-playing progress reaches 100%, he will have all the abilities of Sun Wukong in the cognition of others.
There is no doubt that the more advanced the persona is, the more people need to recognize, acknowledge, and believe in the existence of this persona. To be honest, this system is powerful, but in the early stages, how to make others believe in the persona he created is indeed a difficult problem.
In addition, if the fabricated character setting is not 100%, then he himself cannot use the ability of the character setting. Therefore, if he is an ordinary person, then if he wants to play a peerless master, he will definitely be exposed in a minute and be beaten to death on the street.
But now it’s different.
When the system accidentally obtained the low-level permissions of the “Live Spoiler System”, Ye Cheng suddenly realized that these two systems are a perfect match!
It Is not easy to make others believe in the character he designed. Just make up a “future video” and broadcast it live to the whole world, then the progress of the character will soar!
Although it is only a low-level permission, he cannot get the rewards of the questioner, and the various things that are taken away after the punishment. But for him now, this low-level permission is enough. Paired with the role-playing system, it is simply like adding wings to a tiger!
As a transmigrator who had suffered for twenty-six years, his sufferings finally came to an end!
As for the live spoiler system that suddenly appeared in Douluo World six years ago, Ye Cheng also learned about it through his own plug-in. This thing originally had an owner, but later it seemed to have offended a big boss in a super-high world, and then the host of the system was beaten to ashes! The
Originally intact live spoiler system was also affected and was shattered, most of its functions were destroyed, and only the most core part of the functions escaped into the turbulence of time and space, and came to this world by chance.
In order to repair itself, this incomplete system spontaneously activated the live spoiler function, using it to collect the wishes of all living beings, and to convert the “things” taken away after punishment into energy to repair itself.
Once the repair is complete, the live broadcast spoiler system will select the host again.
Unexpectedly, Ye Cheng’s plug-in awakened at this time, and captured this incomplete live broadcast spoiler system, so this thing became a bargain for him.
“So I’ve been battling wits and courage with the air for the past six years?” Ye Cheng said with a smile.
