Chapter 1: 1. Arrival

[ATTRIBUTE]

"In the Dou Qi Mainland, a person's attribute is determined by their soul, an ethereal essence unique to each individual. Since birth, a soul is irrevocably bound to a single attribute, rejecting all others. Consequently, the notion of possessing multiple attributes is considered an impossibility.

However, as with any rule, exceptions exist. Within the vast population, a minuscule fraction harbors mutated souls. Among these anomalies, some exhibit traces of additional attributes, a phenomenon as rare as a shooting star. Such individuals are often revered as prodigies, destined for greatness"

[Dou Qi World, Northwest continent]

Somewhere in the Jia Ma Empire_

The night was cold and windy. The forest trees swayed heedlessly as the icy wind whipped through them. Night creatures howled and screeched, their movements hindered by the gale.

Atop a secluded mountain, a dark void abruptly materialized. Unless scrutinized closely, its sudden appearance would go unnoticed. The void rotated slowly, as if drawing in the wind to alleviate the night's suffering.

Suddenly, a large, dark object emerged from the void and landed with a heavy thud on the mountain peak.

"Urg..."

A guttural groan echoed through the frigid air as the figure stirred. Slowly, it rose, its silhouette etched against the canvas of the night sky.

The moonlight, filtering through the tempestuous clouds, revealed a young man of striking appearance. His skin was pale as porcelain, a stark contrast to his unruly silver hair that seemed to shimmer in the moonlight. His eyes, a mesmerizing blend of silver and crimson, held a cold, calculating intelligence, but also a hint of vulnerability.

The young man struggled to his feet, his body trembling slightly as if on the verge of collapse.

A weak voice, emanating from the shrinking void, pulled him from the brink.

"Yi'er, this is all I can do for you. I won't be there to protect you anymore. Be cautious. If I survive, I'll find you," the voice whispered, fading with each word.

"If I don't, the spiritual imprint I've left will guide you to my legacy."

A pause. Then, with a final surge of strength, the voice continued, "Most importantly, don't seek revenge. Live happily, without worry."

The voice trailed off as the black hole rapidly diminished.

"Grandpa Don't worry. I remember your words. But Yi'er will make everyone pay the pri.... What the FUCK"

The Young man started to tear up when he heard the words of the weak voice. But when he was about to say the last word he slapped himself hard.

He looked upto see whether the Black hole was there, to his relief the black hole was already disappeared as if it was never there.

"These stupid emotions of that predecessor... Damn it. How can i say such a words from my mouth? Its cringe"

"But that grandfather was indeed very good to my predecessor. I can't be ungrateful.... Yeah, I, Shi Yi won't be ungrateful. Afterall i am good boy myself."

"But revenge?" he mused, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

"Perhaps, but only if it serves my purpose. Even though I'm not heartless, I won't hesitate to protect myself. If the so-called revenge will cost me my life, then it is a big no no" A hypocritical smile crept across his lips.

"After all, in this world, survival is paramount, isn't it?" His lips curved into a self-satisfied smirk. This world was a cruel playground, and he also intended to play by its rules.

'If my grandpa wants to die, he better die quickly. In that case i can go and bury himself.' Shi Yi thought in his mind.

The old man's legacy was a powerful motivator. A Six-Star Dou Sheng? The thought was both inspiring and sobering.

His survival was paramount, and the old man's experience could be invaluable.

'And if he won't die within few years, Its better if he can heal completely. Having him as my bodyguard is more useful than him being dead'

'Afterall i am not sure about what timeline i was currently in. If all the early stage opportunities were already taken, Without a powerful backer, i can only suck my finger and sit down' Shi Yi thought again carefully about the pros and cons

Perhaps, just perhaps, there was a way to prevent the old man's demise. After all, a powerful protector would be a significant asset in this dangerous world. It would be a shame to waste such a resource, wouldn't it?

And saving him is not an impossible, afterall since he had appeared in this world, many things may change. Isn't he himself also possessing a supposed dead person's body in the first place?Butterfly effect is inevitable.

He scanned the horizon, the moon casting an ethereal glow on his face.

"Cool~ What a classic entry. If someone were to be here they must be amazed by my handsome entry right?. Hehehe"

"But I can't waste my time here appreciating my cool entry. I have many things to do" Shi Yi shook his head.

'First thing was to find out the time period... Then the second thing was to meet my brother Xiao Yan...'

"Eek. Can't you stop distracting me?"

He Stopped his thinking midway again as he felt his loose hair hitting his face because of the wind.

Staring at it with angry look, Shi Yi tied up his loose silver hair that was swaying in the wind.

He scanned the place he was in with his eyes lightly. After conforming that there was no one to spy on him, He whipped the black ring on his right hand index finger and a new black robe and a cloak appeared in his arms.

He changed his black robe that was little torn because of the unprotected landing, into a new one.

"Hmm... Now it's alright. Wearing torn clothes is not good for my image. I also have to buy some beautiful white robes. White will look more good on me" Shi Yi felt proud thinking about his fashion sense.

"Ai... I am drifting again. I can't waste my time here" He shook and waved his hand again as if shooing off his narcissist thoughts.

A chill wind whipped across the mountain peak, carrying with it the distant howl of a lone wolf. Shi Yi shivered, not from the cold, but from the thrill of anticipation. A new life awaited him, filled with both promise and peril.

He pulled his cloak tighter around him, the rough fabric a stark contrast to the delicate skin beneath. His gaze swept across the endless expanse, his mind racing with possibilities. He would need allies, information, and resources. And most importantly, he would need to master his powers.

"Time to move..." After thinking about what to do and what not to do, Shi Yi decided to move from here.

Now draped in the cloak, he melted into the night, his figure disappearing into the shadows as effortlessly as smoke. The forest, once filled with the sounds of the wind and nocturnal creatures, now held only the echo of his quiet departure.
