Chapter 1

"Warning! Battleship damage level 71.5581%, energy shield damage 99.1485%, main engine irreparably damaged, auxiliary engine one damage level 97.6282%, auxiliary engine two damage level 93.2581%, auxiliary engine three damage level 95.6314%... Warning! Battleship cannot land normally!"

...

"Prepare for impact! Estimated 97 seconds until ground contact! 96, 95, 94..."

...

"Calculation two results: survival rate upon impact 0.18%!"

...

"Ejection order issued!"

...

"Escape pod damage level 67.21%, high-risk ejection, survival rate 14.22%, please take self-rescue measures."

...

"Beep! Host's physical body has died, host's mental level is a 9th-grade mental energy user. Under the protection of soul chip 'Two,' the host can sustain existence for 177 seconds, after which the host will dissipate and die completely. Please take new self-rescue measures."

...

"Beep! Order rejected. Host's identity is an elite student of Starlight University, not reaching the rank of a one-star citizen. The mission executed is a resource supply mission for the Third Legion. According to the highest federal law, non-one-star citizens, non-core students of Starlight University, and non-execution of national tasks resulting in death are not allowed to possess another body..."

...

"Beep! Coordinate scan, this star domain is an unknown star domain, the planet is an unknown planet, not a federal territory. Life forms on this planet are not protected by federal law, possession is allowed!"

...

"Beep! Target locked, analysis in progress, carbon-based life form, compatibility with humans 99.97%, possession possible, success rate 87.24%! Mental energy enhancement in progress..."

...

"Beep! Possession successful! Host's mental energy depleted to the eighth-grade critical alert line, 'Two' entering shutdown mode..."

...

"Tianji, you will be fine, I won't let anyone hurt you! I will get the best doctors for you and use the best medicine!"

In a daze, Qin Tianji could hear the wind whistling past his ears and a woman's determined voice, unshaken by any external force.

"It seems the possession was successful."

With this thought, the already weak Qin Tianji fell into unconsciousness again.

...

"Beep! Host's mental energy restored to the sixth-grade high-risk level!"

...

"Beep! Host's mental energy restored to the fifth-grade moderate-risk level!"

...

"Beep! Host's mental energy restored to the fourth-grade low-risk level!"

...

"Beep! Host's mental energy restored to the third-grade highly-weak level! Out of danger, 'Two' entering energy-saving mode!"

"Beep! Soul chip 'Two' activated, energy-saving mode cannot self-check, awaiting host's command."

...

"The most dangerous phase is over."

Hearing the activation sound of 'Two' in his mind, Qin Tianji felt a great relief.

He glanced around the room he was in...

Stone floor, stone walls, wooden doors and windows, with some paper cutouts pasted on them. On the walls, there were also many decorations, and directly opposite the bed where Qin Tianji was lying, he could see a hanging longsword...

Considering the solid wooden bed he was lying on, Qin Tianji had a vague understanding of his situation.

"This is another planet. The Federation has always been searching for whether there are other life-bearing planets in the universe besides Earth. Now, I have the answer. If I have a chance to return, this discovery... will definitely shock the world."

Qin Tianji muttered to himself.

"Same name? Is it a coincidence?"

He issued a command in his mind: "Two, normal startup mode."

"Warning! Host's mental energy is at the third-grade highly-weak level. Normal startup mode will cause a series of adverse reactions. Do you want to continue?"

"Third-grade weak? Start!"

"Beep! Two normal mode starting."

As the soul chip 'Two' entered normal mode, Qin Tianji, who already felt weak and powerless, felt his strength drained again, and a complete inability to move spread throughout his body, accompanied by a deep sense of weakness from his soul.

"Beep! Dangerous creature approaching, danger level four, immediate action required! Immediate action required!"

"Two entering energy-saving mode..."

Before 'Two' could complete the analysis, Qin Tianji felt a darkness in his vision, as if he was about to faint, and quickly issued a new command.

"Energy-saving mode entered. Warning! Dangerous creature approaching, danger level four, immediate action required, warning..."

"Level four dangerous creature!"

The information behind these six words made Qin Tianji's pupils constrict instantly.

A level four dangerous creature, capable of fighting a pack of wolves and tearing apart tigers and leopards, was a terrifying existence. A human's fragile body had no resistance against a level four dangerous creature.

"Calm down! Qin Tianji, you are the 117th-ranked elite student of Starlight University, capable of handling any emergency!"

"Tianji, you're finally awake."

In the midst of his forced calm and unease, a graceful figure quickly entered the room.

A woman.

A woman who looked to be in her early twenties, with a refined demeanor.

"Human!?"

Qin Tianji was taken aback.

A level four dangerous human!?

"You seem to be recovering well."

The woman carefully examined Qin Tianji, and the worry in her eyes eased slightly. "You went to the Never-Set Mountains and didn't encounter any fierce beasts. Although I don't know why your mental energy is so weak, surviving in the perilous Never-Set Mountains is already a great blessing. It seems your luck is really good."

The woman's tone relaxed as she looked at the pale-faced, seemingly shaken Qin Tianji, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy. "Your adoptive father only had you as his son, and he passed away early. The hope of this lineage rests entirely on you. If anything happens to you, I can't imagine the consequences..."

Her expression turned somber as she spoke.

The woman fell silent, and Qin Tianji followed suit.

He didn't dare speak recklessly, for fear of revealing any inconsistencies.

From the woman's attitude toward him, it was clear that their relationship was extraordinary. If she noticed any discrepancies and realized he had possessed the original body, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The atmosphere...

became somewhat awkward for a moment.

After a short while, some noise came from outside the door. The woman seemed to have something to attend to and stood up, saying, "Tianji, rest well. I'll handle the sect's affairs. I've had someone prepare some meat soup for you to help you recover."

The woman left, and a moment later, a maid-like girl entered with a bowl of soup.

"Master, drink something to help you recover. The main ingredient in this soup is the bone of a Red Blood Tiger, which Sister Yu Yan personally hunted in the Never-Set Mountains for you. It is very effective for nourishing your blood and qi and improving your mental state."

"Fierce beast!"

Although he didn't know what a fierce beast was, the fear in the maid's voice was enough to guess that it was no ordinary creature.

"Put the soup down, I'll drink it later."

"Alright, I'll go down. Most of the sect members have left, and the personnel are tight. I have a lot to do, so I'll go now."

Qin Tianji nodded slightly.

After the maid left, he quickly issued a command in his mind.

"Two, I need all the residual memories of this body."

"During the possession process, the memory loss rate was 46.22%, the memory completeness rate is 15.57%. To fully receive the memory information, it will take one hour and thirty-two minutes. Do you want to start the transmission?"

"Yes."

"Transmission starting..."

Qin Tianji closed his eyes, concentrating all his mental energy, his brows occasionally furrowing, and a fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

An hour and a half passed quickly.

"Phew!"

As the memory transmission ended, Qin Tianji let out a long sigh.

"Only 15.57%, but at least there are relevant memories about the level four dangerous creature. It seems the impression is quite strong."

Qin Tianji muttered to himself.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

A level four dangerous creature made him feel as if a sharp thorn was piercing his back. Facing her was like facing a terrifying beast that could devour a person at any moment, always on the brink of life and death.

Now, understanding the relationship between the level four dangerous woman and the original body, as long as he didn't reveal any inconsistencies, the danger was temporarily averted.

"Create a profile: Qin Yuyan, female, age 21, danger level four. She was a girl picked up from the mountains by the sect leader Qin Huailing and adopted as his daughter. She also became a disciple of Qi Lingyun. She grew up in Yunlai Sword Sect and is thoroughly familiar with the entire sect, loyal and unwavering. Preliminary judgment: the development and inheritance of Yunlai Sword Sect are more important to her than anything else. Current strength level: Swordman level six..."

"Beep! Qin Yuyan's information recorded."

"Database update! Qin Huailing, sect leader of Yunlai Sword Sect, male, age 45, memory shows Great Swordman level... Qi Lingyun, male, age 53, elder of Yunlai Sword Sect, Qin Huailing's senior brother, Swordman level eight..."

"Beep! Qin Huailing and Qi Lingyun's information recorded."

"Swordman level six? Great Swordman, Swordman level eight, is this the cultivation system of this world?"

After recording some basic information, Qin Tianji focused on the so-called Swordman levels.

"Qin Yuyan is only a Swordman level six, yet her danger level is four. Qi Lingyun is a Swordman level eight, and Qin Huailing is a Great Swordman. What are their danger levels... Two, simulate and calculate!"

"Simulation requires twelve seconds, calculating... Beep, calculation result: Qi Lingyun, Swordman level eight, danger level six, error rate 34.82%; Qin Huailing, Great Swordman, danger level eight, error rate 71.52%! To reduce the error rate, please update the database."

"Danger level eight!"

Qin Tianji drew in a sharp breath.

A danger level of eight was an absolutely terrifying existence capable of destroying an entire army. Such a terrifying dangerous creature, if it entered a small town without an army, could easily slaughter tens of thousands of people!

"The humans in this world can develop their physical abilities to such a degree without the aid of machinery or mechs... Wait! My Swordman level... four? Cultivation technique 'Cloud Sea Tide Birth Technique'... Two, analyze the characteristics of my cultivation technique."

"Beep! Analyzing... Analysis result: This cultivation technique can greatly stimulate life potential, improve physical fitness, and enhance physical abilities. When cultivated to the extreme, it can cause a life evolution, extend lifespan, and even tear apart mechs with the physical body... Final value estimate: 32 million credits."

"Tear apart mechs with the physical body! Value estimate 32 million!"

The evaluation result left Qin Tianji deeply shaken.
