Chapter 2: Awakening & Second Time
A white light filled Tian Yuan's vision.
It was not blinding, yet it erased the world around him, leaving only a floating translucent panel before his eyes.
A cold mechanical voice echoed inside his mind.
System: User checkup initiated.
A rectangular interface unfolded like rippling water.

The system paused.
Then the panel flickered.
System: Wait a second… your talent is unmatched. You possess the highest level Mystic Veins, supreme body constitution, and an absolute soul structure… so why aren't you cultivating?
Tian Yuan blinked.
"…Because it's my choice."
He crossed his arms.
"And what did you just say about my talent, body, soul, and mystic veins?"
The panel flickered again.
System: Forget about it.
"Why are you here?" Tian Yuan asked, narrowing his eyes.
System: Don't you need me?
Tian Yuan tilted his head.
"Technically… no."
Silence.
Then the panel shimmered again.
System: I can transform into any shape you want. Even into a beautiful woman.
Tian Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.
"…Definitely yes."
Narrator: What the heck.
A confirmation panel appeared.
System: If you wish to accept me, click the YES button.
Tian Yuan raised a finger.
"First, instructions."
The panel reshaped.

Tian Yuan smiled.
He pressed YES.
A warm current spread through his body.
Energy surged through invisible channels.
His senses sharpened.
The air itself felt alive.
His heart pounded once—
Then everything stabilized.
He inhaled deeply.
"…I became powerful now."
Behind him, Cailin watched silently.
Her golden eyes shimmered with interest.
"Tian Yuan," she said softly.
He turned.
"Hey, Cailin."
Her gaze narrowed slightly.
"…System?"
He waved his hand quickly.
"Forget about it."
Suddenly, Tian Yuan remembered something.
"System. I want Cailin's information."
The panel appeared.

Tian Yuan stared.
"…That is big. And what realm is that?"
The panel scrolled further.

"…WHAT?"
Cailin slowly turned her head toward him.
"Stop. Stop," Tian Yuan muttered, waving frantically.
The screen flickered.

Cailin glanced at him, expression unreadable.
Then her body dissolved into radiant particles and returned to the Heavenly Celestial Origin Pearl.
Tian Yuan blinked.
"Wait a second…"
He touched his nose.
"…my nose isn't bleeding."
System: Because I am storing all nasal blood overflow in a special dimensional storage.
"…What?"
Walking Through the City
Tian Yuan walked through the streets of Jindian City.
Everything looked the same.
Yet everything felt different.
He could sense movement behind walls.
Hear distant footsteps.
Feel the faint vibration of life around him.
"…Where is she?" he muttered.
Suddenly—
Two hands grabbed him from behind.
Soft warmth pressed against his back.
He turned.
Ling Xu Ming stood on her toes and kissed him.
Tian Yuan's brain shut down.
"Heaven…"
Narrator: He's a scum.
"Shut the fuck up."
Narrator: Respect me.
"Do you even have respect?"
Narrator: …
"Continue the story. Unfreeze the time."
Narrator: Unfreezing time.
Ling Xu Ming blinked.
"I was talking, why did you suddenly freeze?"
Tian Yuan smirked.
"You think time can stop my girlfriend? She's beyond that concept."
Narrator: Oh… I forgot.
"Now shut up."
Ling Xu Ming stared at him suspiciously.
Then her eyes widened.
"Tian Yuan… you're a cultivator now?"
"Ohhh yeah."
Shock covered her face.
At Tian Yuan's House
His home was simple.
Clean.
Normal.
Ling Xu Ming pushed him gently onto the bed.
"Here's your bed."
She wrapped her arms around him tightly.
Warmth.
Soft breath.
Then a kiss.
A deeper one.
Time slowed.
Clothes rustled softly as they fell aside.
Narrator: This chapter should be named Second Time.
Author: Good idea.
The window curtains fluttered.
Outside, the world continued as normal.
Inside, two young hearts explored closeness beyond words.
The moon climbed higher.
And the night deepened.
Two Hours Later
Tian Yuan and Ling Xu Ming lay beneath the blanket, breathing slowly.
Peace filled the room.
Ling Xu Ming traced circles on his chest sleepily.
Suddenly—
A ripple formed in the air.
Scarlet light shimmered.
Cailin appeared beside the bed.
Golden eyes calm.
Ancient.
Unfathomable.
Tian Yuan's thoughts froze.
"I am genuinely cooked."
Ling Xu Ming slowly turned her head.
Cailin looked at her.
The room fell silent.
The air itself seemed to hold its breath.
And somewhere deep inside Tian Yuan's mind…
the System interface flickered.
