One year later.
The Aska glided slowly through the Tree Universe.
Yu Xian and Feng Mingge sat in the cockpit. By now, one of Yu Xian's eyes had turned green, allowing him to see a colossal world lying right ahead.
"Is that the Zhen Realm?" Yu Xian asked curiously.
Feng Mingge nodded. "Yeah, that's the Zhen Realm. It will stay here for a single day before disappearing again."
The Zhen Realm constantly drifted through the Tree Universe. Most people who wanted to find it could only rely on sheer luck, but Feng Mingge had entered it once before. Although he hadn't reached level 250 back then, he had obtained some useful equipment, one piece of which allowed him to pinpoint the Zhen Realm's location once every hundred years.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry inside," Yu Xian said excitedly.
Feng Mingge declined, however. "You go ahead. I won't be joining you. It offers no improvement for me whatsoever—a pure waste of time."
With that, he rose directly and walked away. Seeing that Feng Mingge genuinely had no interest, Yu Xian didn't press the matter. After having Muse open the hatch to let Feng Mingge depart, Yu Xian ordered Muse to proceed at full speed toward the Zhen Realm.
...
...
Yu Xian slowly opened his eyes.
He sat up immediately, and in the next second, remembered that he had entered the Zhen Realm aboard the Aska.
At that time, the entire world seemed to turn white, and everyone had lost consciousness within the vast expanse of white light, remaining out cold until now.
Just then, a light screen appeared before Yu Xian.
[Welcome to Zhen Fun World.]
[Please answer the following questions carefully. They will determine your class progression.]
[Question 1: What is your race?]
Yu Xian directly entered "Human." Shiny Vampire was merely his bloodline, which didn't equate to his race. In any case, as long as he considered himself human, he would always be human.
[Question 2: Do you believe choices outweigh effort, or effort outweighs choices?]
Yu Xian answered right away, "Choices outweigh effort." After pondering a moment, he added, "Luck outweighs choices."
[Question 3: Do you prefer visceral, flesh-to-flesh combat, or measured, elegant combat where every step is calculated?]
Yu Xian originally wanted to pick visceral combat, but suddenly recalled that his fists were already strong enough. He then considered choosing the other option, but measured, elegant combat sounded like it required too much brainpower just from the name.
He really didn't want to use his brain. After a moment of silence, he wrote: "I prefer winning effortlessly without having to fight."
[Question 4: Are you averse to relying on external objects?]
Yu Xian didn't need to think at all, entering: "Not averse in the slightest. The more, the better."
[Question 5: Do you consider yourself a lone wolf or part of the flock?]
Yu Xian looked at it and typed: "I choose to be a human being."
[Question 6: What do you consider most important?]
Yu Xian blinked and fell silent for a long time before finally writing: "Freedom."
[Question 7: Do you prefer dogs or cats?]
Yu Xian stared at the question, a question mark popping into his head.
Even so, he answered honestly: "I prefer women."
[Question 8: If you possessed invincible power, what would you want to do?]
Yu Xian chuckled and typed: "Nothing at all."
[Question 9: Do you like playing games?]
Yu Xian replied: "Yes."
[Based on your answers, your best-suited class is [Chaos Envoy]. Do you accept this class?]
Curious, Yu Xian tapped on Chaos Envoy, and an introduction to the class popped up. It was essentially a summoner class, except the summoned beasts were completely unpredictable.
Furthermore, the class was somewhat troublesome in that it required sacrifices.
Generally, the higher the grade of the sacrifice used, the stronger the summoned beast would be.
"What happens if I don't accept this class?" Yu Xian asked curiously after learning about it.
No answer came. After waiting for a while and seeing the light screen remain unchanged, Yu Xian simply activated his ability to summon Auntie Number Two and asked again, "Auntie, if I don't accept this class, can I choose another one?"
"If you refuse the class best suited to you, you will enter the class selection interface, but there will only be three options: Warrior, Mage, and Physician," Auntie Number Two replied.
Hearing that, Yu Xian immediately chose to accept. Compared to those three dime-a-dozen classes, he thought Chaos Envoy seemed decent enough.
Once he chose to accept, the light screen instantly dissolved into radiance and fused into his body. He then felt that he had learned his first basic skill: [Chaos Summoning].
[Chaos Summoning: Consume one sacrifice to summon a beast to fight for you. The beast's strength is determined by the quality of the sacrifice.]
Simple and crude.
Yu Xian pondered and glanced at Auntie Number Two, somewhat curious about what grade of beast he could summon if he used Auntie Number Two as a sacrifice.
Before he had the chance to experiment, however, the entire white space was swiftly enveloped by blinding white light, and he lost consciousness once more.
...
...
Zhen Realm, Baihe Continent.
Yu Xian opened his eyes to find himself lying inside a small hut. Checking his condition, he discovered that none of his abilities had been sealed.
Yet when he tried to sweep the outside with his divine sense, he discovered it could only reach a single millimeter beyond his body.
His face darkening, he activated his spatial ability. Sure enough, space merely hitched for a moment, without even producing a ripple.
Next, he tried all of his abilities one by one and confirmed one thing: the good news was that his abilities were still there and unsealed; the bad news was that in this world, their effectiveness was drastically reduced.
Ever since he consumed the fire rule crystal, his current abilities allowed him to expend True Crimson Power to incinerate Earth into a ball of glass with a single blast of fire, yet right now, he couldn't even light a cigarette.
Then there was his biological force field. It clearly coated his body, and its mass hadn't changed at all, yet it had completely lost its protective effect—his swollen fist was the best proof.
"So in the Zhen Realm, you can only level up using your class skills?" Yu Xian muttered to himself, sitting on the bed.
He thought for a moment and called up the Zhen Realm's built-in status panel, then glanced at his stats.
[Name: Yu Xian]
[Level: 1]
[Class: Chaos Envoy]
[Skill: Chaos Summoning]
Simple and crude, without any superfluous clutter.
After looking it over, Yu Xian thought to himself, 'Right now I'm level 1. As long as I grind to level 250, it'll be equivalent to becoming a Mighty One directly. So all I need to do now is level up.'
No sooner said than done, he got up and left the hut.
The weather outside was somewhat gloomy. There were quite a few houses in the village, but all of them were empty, likely the starter huts of other entrants.
After selecting their class, every entrant would be teleported to one of the hundreds of millions of starter villages across the Zhen Realm. Furthermore, this teleportation was completely random. This time, Yu Xian had brought Zhang Shou, Nora, Niman, Shui Yuetian, Huangquan, Little Nora, Gong Qian, Cheng Pi, and Jin Sheng along with him, but clearly everyone had been scattered.
