Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Boom!
In the sky, huge lightning illuminated. A giant winged figure loomed between the lightning and thunder, its colorful long tail constantly fluttering.
After that, a dragon head with a huge forked horn and fluttering beard emerged from the clouds. Its winding body kept drilling in and out of the sea of clouds.
The ground was constantly shaking violently as if a super volcano had erupted. Its huge body, which was as large as a mountain, shook the ground, leaving deep trenches.
Under the light of the lightning, four legs that looked like heavenly pillars stood on the ground under the huge angular turtle shell.
In various places on earth, Holy Spirits of different races and forms began to hide in panic due to the sudden change in the world’s rules after a large number of mythical-level Holy Spirits appeared.
At this moment, countless light spots quickly gathered in the void, and a skeleton was formed in the blink of an eye.
“Where is this?”
At the moment Zhou Mingrui regained consciousness, the skeleton’s black eye socket lit up with two white soul flames.
A stream of information rushed into his mind.
The illusionary spirit world.
He didn’t know when it was born.
All the powerful creatures that existed in history, legends, and myths would be born in the illusionary spirit world and would continue to exist without dying out.
Only when they were summoned by the creatures in the other twin world would they be able to sign a contract and leave this illusionary spirit world.
The moment Zhou Mingrui, the little skeleton, was born, all the living beings around him, be it dragons, phoenixes, black tortoises, white tigers, angels, or demons, all came to a spot not far from him.
Even further away, the other Holy Spirits, who were originally hiding in a panic, also secretly found a position to look over.
Upon seeing so many life forms that he had only heard of in myths but had never seen before, Zhou Mingrui was stunned.
However, while he was in a daze, the mythical creatures around him all knelt or prostrated on the ground, expressing their submission to Zhou Mingrui.
Zhou Mingrui snapped out of his daze. He could even see fear and other inexplicable expressions in the eyes of some of the living beings who were relatively behind him.
From the faint soul information they were sending out, it seemed that they were calling him “Illusionary Spirit Soul Lord”. He did not know what that meant.
But one thing was for sure, these mythical Holy Spirits were all subservient to him and were worshiping him.
Zhou Mingrui scratched his bald head. An interface that allowed him to view his attributes had suddenly appeared in his mind. Hence, he immediately gave it a try.
[Life Type: Undead Creature]
[Life Attribute: Strength 3, Constitution 3, Agility 3, Intelligence 3, Endurance 3, Soul 4]
[Life Level: LV1]
[Life Talent: None]
[Contract Status: None]

Zhou Mingrui, who had played many online games, was instantly dumbfounded. The growth of his talent was simply too pitiful. Furthermore, he did not have any talent at all. It was too tormenting.
When Zhou Mingrui saw the appearance of these mythical Holy Spirits, he thought that he had been reborn into an impressive existence.
[The host’s mind is detected to be completely awake, and the system is starting the matching.]
At that moment, a loud voice suddenly rang in Zhou Mingrui’s mind.
“System!”
Having read novels, he naturally understood what this meant. It was the standard of transmigrators!
[The system has successfully started the matching process. The host is officially bound to the system. The system will now begin the complete sublimation of the host.]
Dense dots of light appeared out of thin air and immediately enveloped Zhou Mingrui’s skeletal body, forming a gigantic cocoon of light.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding mythical Holy Spirits immediately knelt even lower, appearing even more pious.
[Sublimation complete, 100% completion rate.]
Upon hearing that, Zhou Mingrui immediately reopened his talent interface after he regained consciousness. He wanted to see what changes would happen to him after the system’s transformation.
[Life Type: Undead Spirit]
[Life Attribute: Strength 10, Constitution 10, Agility 10, Intelligence 10, Endurance 10, Soul 20]
[Life Level: LV1]
[Life Talent: Devour, Upgrade, Lotus Flower]
[Contract Status: None]
Upon seeing this, Zhou Mingrui was immediately amazed by the power of the system.
Compared to the undead creatures, the undead spirits were more than one level higher.
Then, his attributes increased by more than two times, and three new talents appeared in his talent bar.
Just as he had this thought, a square frame suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Devour: Any life form killed by the host will turn into “Undead Essence” for the host to absorb. After devouring, the host will gain a certain amount of attribute points from the target, and there is a chance to obtain one of the skills of the target. Can be advanced.]
[Upgrade: Every time the host achieves 10 levels, one talent will be automatically awakened. There is a chance of awakening two talents. If the talents are of the same type, they will be automatically merged to become a stronger skill talent.]
[Lotus Flower: For every level up, the host will receive five times new attribute points.]
Upon seeing the contents of the three talents, Zhou Mingrui immediately raised his head and laughed out loud.
“The system is indeed powerful!”
Zhou Mingrui could not help but sigh in his heart. Both of these two talents were extremely useful for one to become stronger. Even a pig would be able to fly.
The surrounding mythical creatures looked at Zhou Mingrui, who was smiling foolishly. However, they did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, they continued prostrating themselves on the ground.
In the following period, Zhou Mingrui initially spent his time under the respectful gazes of all the Holy Spirits in the illusionary spirit world.
In the beginning, he found it very interesting, but as the days passed, he began to feel bored.
After all, he was only seeing these mythical Holy Spirits every day and had never seen any other creatures. Any normal person would feel bored and depressed.
The illusionary spirit world appeared to be huge. Even when Zhou Mingrui was riding on the back of a gigantic dragon, he could not find the edge of the illusionary spirit world even after flying for a few days and nights. However, the surrounding scenery was the same and had not changed much.
Zhou Mingrui began to feel anxious. Even though the place occupied a large area, it gave off the feeling of a prison.
Finally, after an unknown number of days, Zhou Mingrui, who could no longer hold it in, suddenly felt his mind come to a stop. A strange feeling began to linger.
He immediately closed his eyes and began to actively search for this feeling.
Soon, the feeling became stronger and stronger. In the end, he locked onto his target.
There were a total of five blue light orbs, which were suspended in the void at the highest point of the world. Most of the Holy Spirits in the illusionary spirit world were attracted over.
However, those powerful existences didn’t seem to care at all, as if they were not interested.
Zhou Mingrui, who had grown tired of this world long ago, chose the most unique blob of light without any hesitation.
In the next instant, Zhou Mingrui’s figure disappeared from the illusionary spirit world.
Qianling World.
Heavenly Saint Academy.
Today was the opening ceremony of the Heavenly Saint Academy. Countless students were standing in the square, and not far away were their parents and relatives.
At this time, under the hubbub of voices, tens of thousands of students and parents were whispering to each other.
However, they quickly quieted down.
This was because six old men wearing long robes with golden edges and dark patterns had almost reached the stage. The powerful aura that they faintly emitted immediately shocked everyone in the square.
They looked at each other and nodded. Then, the old man in the middle shouted, “Let the entrance ceremony begin and conclude the summoning ceremony.”
Every person from the Qianling continent could activate a synchronized summoning once when they reached adulthood.
The Holy Spirit that was summoned would also determine the student’s future path, occupation, and so on. It could be said to be a crucial link.
It was also a step from the previous equality to the beginning of class division.
