One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

【Even after experiencing five lifetimes of training in the human world, witnessing this absurd and cruel scene still left a bitter, mixed feeling in your chest.】

【There’s nothing new under the sun.】

【The human world had been suppressed by the Ancient Wasteland Survivors for thirty thousand years.】

【And here in the Real Realm, the human race was going through something similar, only with even greater intensity.】

【The older brother standing behind you spoke in a low voice.】

【”Now you understand...”】

【Beside you, Liu Ying was trembling with fear, muttering under her breath things like, ”I’d better not have high talent...”】

【You patted Liu Ying on the back to comfort her.】

【”Don’t be afraid.”】

【”But... our lives are in the church’s hands. How can I not be afraid?”】【”Actually, they’re afraid of us. Afraid of the human race!”】

【”I... I don’t see it.”】

【”The ones being killed are all high-talent individuals. It means they don’t dare let a single person who could possibly walk the path of cultivation slip by, so they eliminate them at the source.”】

【”But the human race isn’t strong. Even if we cultivated, we wouldn’t match other races.】

For example, the Three-Eyed Clan—born with divine eyes that can see through illusions and discern Yin and Yang.

And the Scale Clan—naturally amphibious, moving like shooting stars underwater.

The Winged Clan are born flying—every one of them is a genius, cultivating incredibly fast.

What does the human race have?”】

【You smiled and pointed at your mouth.】

【Liu Ying didn’t understand.】

【”Brother Chen, what does that mean? That our human race has strong mouths?”】

【”Language.”】

【”Language?”】

【”Everyone speaks the human race’s language. It proves that humans were once the overlords of this world!”】

【Liu Ying still couldn’t grasp it. After all, she’d never thought about it before. She didn’t even know that the words she spoke and heard every day were actually the human language.】

【But you understood very well. In the Void Realm, every race spoke their own language.】

【Yet after a year in the Real Realm, you hadn’t heard a single language other than the human tongue.】

【You were certain of it.】

【Then, Liu Ying went up for her examination. As she’d hoped, she had absolutely no cultivation talent.】

【This was the human race.】

【The vast majority of humans were mediocre at cultivation, but that rare handful of geniuses could illuminate the entire race.】

【Finally, it was your turn.】

【The female winged man in charge of records glanced at the register and said, ”What’s your name? You’re not registered here.”】

【”Chen Yi.”】

【Newly arrived, using your real name or a fake one made no difference—no one knew you anyway.】

【”Chen Yi? No, you need to change your name.”】

【”Why?”】

【”How dare a human take the character ’Yi’ in their name? That character belongs to our great Winged God Church’s name, our noble Winged Clan’s name.”】

【”Uh... this whole ’great’ and ’noble’ thing, let’s not argue about that. But just so you know, my ’Yi’ might not actually be the same ’Yi’ as yours...”】

【”I don’t care which one it is! Are you changing it or not?”】

【”Fine. From now on, I’ll be Chen Long.”】

【”’Long’ won’t work either!”】

【”What’s wrong with ’Long’ now? Are you the Winged Dragon Clan?”】

【”The Holy Dragon Clan is the noblest race in our Silver Southern Star Realm! Their name can’t be offended either!”】

【You were left completely speechless.】

【So many races in the Void Realm, all nobler than humans, and none of their names could be used? Might as well just not give humans names at all—just assign numbers!】

【After trying a few more, you ended up taking your classic alias again—Chen Dong.】

【The Eagle Eye shot a faint beam of light, sweeping over you.】

【Then your talent was read out.】

【The transparent crystal Eagle Eye floating in midair suddenly burst into dazzling, brilliant colors!】

【”What...”】

【The Red Cardinal, White Priests, Guardian Knight Order, Black Eye Legion, and all the villagers who’d been brought here—every one of them was blinded by the glare, unable to open their eyes.】

【You frowned slightly.】

【Your talent should have been terrible. Why was there such a big commotion?】

【Looked like you’d have to fight it out.】

【You could already see that Red Cardinal—suddenly having another of his ”episodes”—striding toward you with an exaggerated expression.】

【”Ah! You unredeemable...”】

【”No immortal root, no special physique, no special soul...”】

【The female winged man in charge of records saved your life.】

【Her words left the Red Cardinal confused.】

【”The Eagle Eye showed his talent as the highest. How can he be a triple-zero person?”】

【”The colorful light is his luck. It’s covering up the luster of his three basic talents.”】

【The Red Cardinal grew even more confused.】

【”Someone with luck this high... would be here? Has the Winged God Stone malfunctioned?”】

【This old man actually had some self-awareness.】

【Someone who ended up on Fortune Star, captured by the Winged God Church to be assigned work—basically forced labor—and you’re saying this guy has good luck?】

【What were you basing that on?】

【You were actually quite interested in this Winged God Stone. It had the same effect as your 「Human Body Detector」 trait tag!】

【It couldn’t detect trait tag effects, so it showed your immortal root—what the human world called innate talent—as your original no-root state, not the High-Grade Bone Structure’s seventh-grade immortal root.】

【If you could get your hands on this thing, it would be like having an extra trait tag slot!】

【But for now, you couldn’t act recklessly. You had to see what these lunatics planned to do with you.】

【The Red Cardinal gave you a thorough once-over.】

【You cleverly put on the same dazed look as the other villagers.】

【Blank-faced, trembling, slouching, completely numb.】

【Your acting skills had been tested through five simulations. You could be called the number one performer in the Void Realm.】

【But this Red Cardinal was also cautious.】

【”He doesn’t look threatening, but with such top-tier luck, he’s no ordinary person. Better classify him as an unredeemable sinner!”】

【Meaning he wanted you dead?】

【Your cultivation technique had already started circulating, ready for a desperate fight.】

【The White Priest who’d brought you stepped forward and said to the Red Cardinal.】

【”Cardinal Nima, please wait!”】

【”Priest Loku, what advice do you have?”】

【”This Chen Dong has high luck, but he’s a triple-zero person. He can’t cultivate at all. Why not keep him?”】

【”That goes against doctrine.”】

【”What if he really is a person with high luck?”】

【”That’s a humorous thing to say. If you think that way, why keep him?”】

【”What I mean is, what if he really does have high luck? But as long as he’s under our watch, wouldn’t his opportunities become our opportunities?”】

【These two were saying things like this without any attempt at discretion.】

【It was clear they didn’t consider humans worth noticing at all.】

【Priest Loku’s words made Cardinal Nima nod approvingly.】

【”Priest Loku, you truly have a sharp mind. So where do you think he should work?”】

【”Mine Number One. That’s under my people’s charge. I’ll assign my most trusted men to keep an eye on him!”】
