Imperial Surna, Prominent Family – Distant Relative outside the five closest degrees of kinship.
Five Surnas and Seven Hopes – Offshoot, Illegitimate Child.
South Zhang North Kong – Offshoot, Illegitimate Child.
Non-relative Doctor.
When Wang Linchi saw these four identity options, he was montarily bewildered. Why was the last one, lacking any prefix or suffix, listed with the first three? Then it struck him—it had to be the Protagonist’s Aura.
What else could it be?
With his current Destiny advantage, when switching worlds, he could already use the Soul Kind·Destiny’s ’Born Extraordinary’ entry to attain the status of an offshoot illegitimate child of a Major Great Family. If he pushed a bit further, becoming a direct descendant of a main lineage in the next world wouldn’t be an issue. As for the Imperial Surna and Prominent Family, he figured this involved bigger stakes, so it had beco ’Distant Relative outside the five closest degrees of kinship.’
These options were all provided free of charge, unlike before when he had to exhaust all his Protagonist’s Aura just to have choices.
Looking at the countdown, he currently had only thirty seconds to make his selection.
This is obviously an ancient world. Being an offshoot, an illegitimate child, won’t be easy for .
Being a relative outside the five closest degrees of kinship is too distant; establishing connections would be incredibly difficult.
More importantly, these identities all co with parents and siblings, and Great Family Clans have nurous, intricate rules. If this turns out to be a high martial world, I’ll be driven mad by their regulations.
Wang Linchi knew his own limitations well, so he discarded all these options. If it were the direct descendant of a main lineage, Wang Linchi might have considered it. However, being an offshoot *and* an illegitimate child ant he would likely be fundantally unappreciated.
Especially as an illegitimate child—possibly born of a concubine or a maidservant—he recalled the treatnt of Jia Huan in *Dream of the Red Chamber*.
Of course, his life would still be far better than that of soone from the lower strata. With Wang Linchi’s knowledge and practical skills, could he really live poorly?
Ultimately, he could only choose the last identity. It didn’t matter if it was sowhat lacking, as long as he could freeload off the protagonist.
His Destiny growth relied entirely on the protagonist’s contributions.
After he made his choice, the countdown didn’t vanish; it indicated the remaining ti until his arrival in the new world.
If he hadn’t chosen, the system would have defaulted to the first identity—the supposedly best one, though not necessarily the most suitable for him.
Upon entry, Wang Linchi materialized at the bottom of a cliff, a corpse lying beside him. The corpse was then forcibly absorbed by the ’Born Extraordinary’ effect entry of Soul Kind·Destiny, until nothing of it remained.
Next, this was fed back to his ga character’s effect entries, causing Wang Linchi’s ga character to change.
Then, a flood of mories surged into his Thought Mirror, awaiting Wang Linchi’s review.
With this, he had completely replaced the young man and acquired the corresponding interpersonal relationships.
Substitution didn’t an Wang Linchi beca the young man. Instead, it involved reconstructing and integrating the other’s data and information, converting everything that belonged to the deceased into Wang Linchi’s possessions—this was equivalent to plunder. Even the na beca Wang Linchi, not the original owner’s.
"An unremarkable Doctor, an orphan by birth, fostered by his master. His dical skills were diocre, and he owned a small clinic in the county. His master had died the previous month."
"Due to his rather reclusive nature, he had gone into the mountains to gather herbs today and died from an accidental fall."
Wang Linchi quickly skimd through the Doctor’s ordinary life. He could only sigh at what a truly wonderful life it had been, aside from the fatal fall at the end.
He had always yearned for such a peaceful existence. Instead, he kept ending up in worlds on the brink of apocalypse, leaving him rather frustrated.
However, it didn’t matter now. The ordinary life that lay ahead was his.
Fleeing? That wouldn’t be an issue. He would make a na for himself with his dical skills, then supplent it with spiritual power, enough to reactivate Reincarnation within a year.
What he needed now was a significant amount of ti for accumulation and reorganization, to ensure his own smooth transition from a world embryo to a world cub.
But the upper limit of this world is absurdly low... Wang Linchi felt an extre sense of oppression.
In the previous ga world, even upon arrival, the energy level and upper limit were high; he simply lacked an open channel to access it.
However, in this new world, both the energy level and the upper limit were low.
If not for the protective layer ford by his ga character and data rules—optimized via the Ga System database—he would have been crushed into paste by now. His spirit and soul would have also gone berserk. However, this wouldn’t result in death; instead, the Dragon Soul Saint Main would slowly evolve to adapt.
It was, in fact, evolving slowly even now, optimizing its adaptability bit by bit.
It just required a vast amount of ti.
The sequence was: first, the ga character and data rules would adapt to the world. Then, this adaptation would feed back to the Dragon Soul Saint Main, generating the effect entries that would allow Wang Linchi to survive in this world.
In other words, the only abilities he could currently utilize were his knowledge, his practical skills, and his ga character—and even the ga character couldn’t be fully employed yet.
[Player: ***]
[LV1: (0/100) Cap: Level 30]
[Occupation: Saint Monarch]
Wang Linchi’s face turned a shade greener as he looked at the level cap. How could it only be Level 30?
If the level cap in the previous world was one thousand, then this world only possessed three percent of that forr World Energy Level. No wonder he felt so oppressed.
It was like trying to stuff an elephant into a refrigerator; even if it survived, it would be horribly contorted.
As for his ga character, apart from attribute unlocking, other aspects like Skills, pets, and mounts were still in the process of unlocking and required further adaptation.
The good news, however, was that he could respawn and level up by defeating monsters. Of course, even if Wang Linchi didn’t actively hunt monsters to level up, Hanging Up would also allow his ga character to gain Experience.
Once he reached Level 30, everything should be fully unlocked. By then, his physical body should also adapt to this world, though he might not be able to exert his full power.
Naturally, that was a matter to consider after reaching that level.
He flexed his body a little; it actually felt pretty good.
"So of the Player’s various traits had malfunctioned. However, his data-defined Health and Mana, as well as the ’no stamina bar’ feature, were basically fine."
"Automation was still functional. Skills and equipnt, however, hadn’t been unlocked yet, so they were unusable."
Wang Linchi was quite satisfied with this.
As for why the identity offered in a world with a low energy level and low cap wasn’t prestigious, the reason was simple: the two systems were unrelated. His status was determined by his own Destiny, not his strength. Being a capable fighter wasn’t everything.
Sigh, if I had known this world had such a low energy level, I would have chosen the first option. Then I could have fought my way up to beco emperor, all perfectly legitimate.
A cap of Level 30 was truly quite low. Wang Linchi estimated that an ordinary world—one without Transcendent power and not accounting for technology—would have a baseline strength equivalent to around Level 5. The power of Level 30, he reckoned, was at most comparable to the martial prowess depicted in *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*.
It couldn’t be any higher.
One shouldn’t be fooled by martial arts masters who fought directly. If Wang Linchi ard himself with Markchin-level firepower, he could mow down any number of them. Not to ntion, he could respawn after death and wouldn’t truly die unless his Health bar hit zero.
If he found a strategic location, a single person like him could genuinely repel an army of one hundred thousand. After all, soldiers in such an army were still human; they would feel fear when encountering such a phenonon.
However, I can’t afford to be complacent. Even if the energy level is low, if this world is destroyed, I’ll be finished along with it.
Wang Linchi estimated that, as a world embryo, he couldn’t possibly survive the destruction of a world. He needed to reach at least the stage of a world cub.
Furthermore, he discovered a significant problem: if his physical body wasn’t enveloped by the ga character and its data rules, it would emit an aura. This aura had effects similar to those experienced from directly gazing upon a divinity—seeing, hearing, or touching him would cause corresponding distortions and aberrations.
He initially suspected this was related to his racial transformation.
More specifically, it was an aura unintentionally emitted as he developed.
He shouldn’t have possessed such an ability originally. However, the Fusion of his Soul Seed Page, Soul Resemblance pendants, and similar items into his very being had imbued him with these corresponding traits.
For example, his Fanciful and Fickle ability no longer needed active release; a re glance from him could deliver a terrifying Impact to others.
Combined with the evolutionary influence of the Dragon Soul Saint Main, this could cause erratic mutations in his surroundings. Alternatively, the power of the True Dragon Saint Main could directly inflict formless destruction, among other effects.
Wang Linchi could suppress these abilities for extended periods, but doing so would be extrely uncomfortable, akin to a person deliberately holding their breath.
It was a good thing he had his ga character and its data rules. Otherwise, his re arrival would have triggered imnse disasters, leading the world to detect him and judge him an invader.
What would happen next was quite clear: he would likely receive the sa treatnt the world had previously dished out to Abyssal Demons and Demonized Creatures.
Forget it. I should head back first and gather so information about this new world. Wang Linchi picked up the basket from the ground, which still contained a few dicinal herbs.
Following the deceased Doctor’s mories, Wang Linchi planned to return to his small clinic in the county, and then make further plans.
Regardless, these issues couldn’t be resolved imdiately. This was precisely why he needed ti to reorganize and refine his own system.
