Hunt progress: 40/100]
Alright, System, tell me now about Shao Nan.
[Ding! Host: Shao Nan was reborn, and she retained her memories from the moment of her rebirth.]
System, are you saying she was reborn and kept her memories? Still, that doesn't explain her betrayal of me.
[Ding! Host: Shao Nan is a character from a higher world who voluntarily entered the cycle of reincarnation. After failing to break through to a higher stage, she used a special technique that bonds her to the lucky person, then chose to reincarnate into the Shao family in order to use the Shao ancestral technique to locate and follow the chosen one.]
"System, why has the hunter's progress advanced to 40 out of 100? I didn't do anything — I was struck and killed. Where did this percentage come from?"
[Ding! Host: You are activated. You obtained Shao Nan's body and the body of Yi Fang's half-sister, who was the first girl Yi Fang ever fell for. You also obtained the heart of Gu Yue, a very important character on Yi Fang's path. Now Yi Fang has lost her support and the full backing of the Gu family. Likewise, you possess Su Mi's heart, who was also very important to Yi Fang — she was crucial for him to acquire the Su family ancestral treasure. Now it is impossible for Yi Fang to obtain that treasure or even to enter the Su ancestral lands. Similarly, you hold the heart of Master Ling Xuan, a pivotal figure in Yi Fang's life and vital to him when he eventually goes to the Combat Continent. Ling Xuan is a daughter of the Ling family in the Combat Continent; her presence is essential for Yi Fang to enter the Ling ancestral territories and gain support there.]
"Alright, System… are you saying Shao Nan from the beginning planned to use the Shao ancestral technique to betray me?"
[Ding! Host: Shao Nan was destined to become Yi Fang's wife. What happened with you was unexpected and deviated from the true path — this is because she expected you to be the chosen one. She had no reservations toward you, because the technique she used to bind herself to the chosen one suppressed her feelings toward all men; the only person she felt toward was the chosen one. Therefore, because of your opposite-sex attraction aura, things went off course and she thought you were the chosen one, so she attached to you completely without any barriers.]
"And what about Su Mi, Gu Yue, and Master Xuan? Are they also…?"
[Ding! Host: According to the world's path, they were meant to be connected to Yi Fang. However, due to your opposite-sex attraction aura, your relationships with them became extremely deep. They all fell intensely in love with you, which altered their destinies. Especially after your death at Yi Fang's hands, it became impossible for them to form any relationship with Yi Fang; in fact, they are now hostile toward him. It is impossible to repair their feelings.]
"This gives me some relief… System, what happened to them?"
[Ding! Host: After your death, Master Ling Xuan awakened in her unique body and is now in seclusion. As for Gu Yue, she closed off her heart and began plotting to seize the position of head of the Gu family. Su Mi entered the Su ancestral lands to claim her ancestors' inheritance.]
"System, how much time has passed since my death?"
[Ding! Host: You should know that the flow of time between the Celestial Fate World and this world is different. Time here runs faster. Not much time has passed since your death so far. However, the Host is advised to return to the Celestial Fate World as soon as possible if they want revenge — one year here equals two years in the Celestial Fate World.]
"System, what are you talking about? I'm extremely weak right now! How can I go back to the Celestial Fate World?"
[Ding! Host: The reason is that if you delay, Yi Fang will grow so powerful that you won't be able to take revenge on him. You must realize that ten years in the Celestial Fate World are equivalent to only five years in this world — and that time gap is enough for him to break through the world boundary and ascend to a higher realm. If that happens, you will have no chance to avenge him, especially since he belongs to the Yi family in the upper world and his luck is very strong, unlike yours. You have no luck or backing; you are just a system-controlled beast with memories from a previous life, which do not directly help you. And do not forget that Shao Nan has been reborn; her host is now preparing to ascend and return to his original world — the more you delay, the more impossible revenge becomes.]
[Ding! Host: This System suggests you go to another world and hunt the hero.]
"Is there any reason to do that?"
[Ding! Host: There is no specific reason for that, Host, but it may be possible to open the Hunter Box.]
"Alright, I understand."
I exhaled deeply, then continued in a firm tone,
"System, is there a suitable world I can go to? And will I be able to take my mother and Aislin with me?"
[Ding! Yes, Host. You can place them inside the spaceship or within the Spiral Tower. You will be able to take them with you to any other world without any problems, as long as the transfer is physical, not spiritual.]
"Alright… search for a world I can move to."
[Ding! Understood, Host… beginning search…]
[Ding! Ten worlds have been identified that you can transfer to by any method you prefer:
1. World of Astron {Medium}
2. World of the Game: Apocalypse {Normal + Semi-Normal + Low + Medium}
3. Celestial Fate World: Continent of Battle {Medium}
4. World of "My Class Was Summoned to a Magical World and Abandoned Me" {Low + Medium}
5. World of "The Miracle Doctor in the City of Flowers" {Semi-Normal + Low + Medium}
6. Immortal World {High + Forbidden}
7. World of "I Returned to the Past After Death, and This Time I Won't Marry the Emperor — Why Is the Servant Flirting with Me?" {Low + Medium}
8. World of "I Fell in Love with the CEO for the Second Time" {Normal + Semi-Normal}
9. Murim World {Semi-Normal + Low + Medium}
10. World of "All Planets Want Me to Be Their Messenger" {Semi-Normal + Low + Medium}]
[Ding! Host, please select the world you wish to go to once you are ready.]
"System, will I be able to go to the other worlds after choosing the first one?"
[Ding! Yes, Host. You will be able to visit them again, and you can continue searching for new worlds in the future. However, if you abandon a world, it may reappear in later searches.]
"Alright…"
I gazed toward the distant horizon, my chest filled with a strange mix of excitement and unease.
"System, which world suits me best? I want a place where I can act freely, without restrictions."
[Ding! Host, the Celestial Fate World — Continent of Battle fits your request. It's a mid-level world, meaning you won't encounter overly dangerous challenges, and if they exist, they will be limited within the world's boundaries. This world contains only three heroes, including Yi Fang, who is considered the fourth hero of this world. However, it is recommended that you go to the Apocalypse Game World; it is the most suitable for you, especially since it resembles Earth from your first life.]
"Alright… I'll go to the Continent of Battle first, after the calamity ends."
I continued flying through the cold clouds, the wind howling around me as if paving the way toward my new destiny.
After a few minutes, the vast lands of the Ice Scorpion Clan appeared before us — a frozen expanse glittering beneath the light of the snow, like a fragment of eternal winter.
The Ice Empress was waiting for us, standing tall beside her sister, Xiu Lan.
As soon as our feet touched the icy ground, Xiu Lan looked at me with a gaze that carried both reproach and longing.
She approached with confident steps, her voice loud enough for everyone to hear: Well, hello there, my dear… why haven't you visited me for ten years?! I missed you so much! Especially after I came to see you while you were in deep slumber — I couldn't even speak to you!
I smiled softly, then descended beside her and pulled her into an embrace.
It was quite a strange sight — a massive ice dragon embracing a blue ice scorpion!
The Ice Empress stared at us in clear astonishment; the usual frost in her eyes flickered faintly with an unspoken glint of jealousy.
She spoke in a cold tone, though that faint trace of hidden emotion trembled beneath it:You and Aislin… have you both reached the hundred-thousand-year level? This…"
I chuckled lightly and looked at her with calm confidence.
"Well then, my dear Empress… once I overcome the Lightning Tribulation, I'll become a spirit beast of a hundred thousand years. That will be my true victory… so, tell me — are you ready to become the wife of this dragon?"
As I spoke, I carefully observed her reaction — the subtle tremor of her breath, the flicker in her eyes, and the faint flush coloring her face beneath the mysterious aura surrounding me.
✨💫 Enhanced Opposite-Sex Affinity Aura 💫✨
A unique skill that grants its user a supernatural charm — a natural magnetism that draws the admiration and affection of the opposite sex effortlessly.
It doesn't rely on illusion or mind control; rather, it amplifies one's own aura — their natural allure, presence, and body language — radiating an unseen energy that speaks directly to the subconscious, making resistance nearly impossible.
