Taking advantage of the situation, Selina's father suggested swapping brides, proposing that Natalia replace Selina and complete the wedding.

Her gaze then swept across the room, landing on an elegant and distinguished man. She vaguely remembered him as Ryan’s younger uncle. Walking over, she boldly asked, "Sir, how about getting married?" The man raised an eyebrow, finding her audacity intriguing. "It would be my honor, madam," he replied.

Between heaven and earth, the only path to transcendence was the Dao. In every generation, prodigies known as Heaven Chosens would rise—contenders in a singular, sacred struggle: to prove the Dao and ascend as revered, feared Great Emperors. To seize the chance to shatter the shackles of mortality and step into the immeasurable strata of Immortals, Primordials, and True Gods. Only one star could blaze brightest in the boundless sky of each era. For Samael, it had always been a dream—vivid, yet illusory. Trapped in a relentless cycle of reincarnation, each life ended the same: failure. Again and again, he stood against existence’s greatest geniuses, only to fall before their dazzling brilliance. No matter how hard he trained, how deeply the heavens favored him, or how vast his wisdom became—those chosen to oppose him were always a step beyond. Failure after failure after failure—the cycle seemed eternal. But this time, it would be different. This life would be his last. And this life… would be never-ending. In this life, the Dao would be his. In this life, he would become a Great Emperor. The Greatest Emperor. “…hopefully.”

In a realm where jade slips and divine senses reign supreme, what use could a computer possibly be? Armed with sharp intellect, careful strategy, and a stroke of luck, Wang Hao vows to turn his “useless golden finger” into his secret weapon. He ventures into the perilous Duan Yuan Mountain Range, confronts ferocious demon beasts, and carves out his own path—not through natural talent, but by applying modern ingenuity and leveraging his unique system. Surrounded by ancient clans, arrogant cultivators, and long-buried secrets, Wang Hao fights not just to survive—but to prove that even the most hopeless dunce can become a legend.
