"From the Start, I Foretold the Immortal's Demise"
Above lies the endless expanse of the sky, a vast canvas painted in shades of blue and adorned with wispy clouds. Below, the sturdy, unyielding earth cradles the roots of towering trees, the whispers of grass, and the rich tapestry of life that thrives in its embrace. And occupying the space that graciously separates the two is air—the invisible breath that carries scents, songs, and the laughter of both the vibrant and the desolate.
To the left, in the shadowy recesses where reality bends, linger the spectral figures of ghosts—echoes of the past, hinting at stories untold and lives once lived. They drift through dimensions, reminding the unsuspecting of remnants and regrets. To the right, the world of humans pulsates with life, ambition, and chaos—each individual a world unto themselves, striving, yearning, and often clashing against one another. Yet, at the very center of this cosmic arrangement stand the immortals, enigmatic beings who straddle the line between the mortal and the divine, their wisdom and power beyond the grasp of any mere mortal.
For Jiang Bai, a newcomer thrust into this intricate tapestry, the world is not merely a staggering display of chaos. Armed with the most advanced Divination System known to existence, he possesses a unique ability to read the flow of fate and probability. To him, nothing in this world is unexplainable, and no individual’s destiny lies beyond his calculative reach. It is a gift—and at times, a weighty burden.
Just after undergoing the life-altering journey of transmigration, he finds himself caught in an extraordinary encounter. He meets a legendary immortal—a figure exuding an aura of ancient wisdom and power. With an air of urgency, the immortal seeks Jiang Bai's insight, requesting a reading of his fate. As Jiang Bai channels the energies around him and peers into the threads of destiny, he is struck with a profound shock. The reading reveals an impending doom—the immortal has only thirty seconds left to dwell among the living.
Stunned and deeply shaken by this revelation, Jiang Bai can't help but question the whims of fate. Was this a mere coincidence, or was there some deeper design at play? The gravity of the situation sinks in as he recalls the dangers woven into the very fabric of the human realm—a perilous landscape rife with schemes of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of cultivation. Each ascension toward immortality is shadowed by trials, and Jiang Bai knows all too well the treachery that lurks behind smiles and camaraderie.
Faced with a monumental decision, Jiang Bai must navigate the blurred lines that separate ally from foe, illusion from reality. With the specter of mortality weighing heavily upon him, he recognizes that before he strides into the unknown, he must diligently assess his safety—a habit forged from his intrinsic cautious nature.
On the brink of embarking on what promises to be an unpredictable journey, he turns to his Divination System, seeking guidance for the day ahead. “System, should I go out today?” he inquires, his heart racing with the anticipation of what lies beyond his immediate surroundings.
With a calculated ease, the System responds, “Today is favorable for venturing out. Engage in activities such as cleaning and exploring the mysterious locales that beckon. However, heed this advisory: steer clear of marriage and intimate relations, for entanglements may prove hazardous in the treacherous world that awaits.”
With a mind brimming with possibilities and the foreboding weight of destiny at his back, Jiang Bai steels himself. The world is poised on the cusp of an adventure, fraught with peril and promise, and he is determined to decipher the pathways ahead, one calculated step at a time.
