Chapter 1: The System Arrived Too Early

[Brain Storage Area!]

[Illogical things are perfectly logical here!]

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, making the world feel extremely heavy and oppressive, leaving one feeling restless and uneasy.

The atmosphere inside the room was also quite stifling.

A beautiful woman stood guard by the bedside, the flesh on her face contorted into a grimace of intense worry.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she cried out with an excited voice,

"Xiuxiu is awake!"

"Xiuxiu is awake!"

As this voice rang out,

The other dozen or so people in the room quickly crowded around the small bed.

In a daze, Ye Xiuxiu slowly opened her eyes from her slumber.

She made babbling sounds, crying and wailing,

Struggling with difficulty,

Attempting to stand up from the soft bed beneath her.

But the moment she exerted force,

She immediately sensed that her arms had seemingly lost all strength,

Limp and completely unable to push.

Not only that,

But her head was also filled with unbearable pain,

As if it had been struck violently by a heavy iron hammer.

Enduring the discomfort coming from her body,

The entire room was low-key, luxurious, and sophisticated.

A dozen people surrounded Ye Xiuxiu's bed.

Ye Xiuxiu's tiny body was wrapped in an exquisite swaddling cloth,

Her limbs appearing exceptionally slender and fragile.

A woman gently rubbed the bump on Ye Xiuxiu's head and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened from the bump."

Ye Xiuxiu's head had hit something just now,

And she had fallen unconscious, only just now waking up.

Suddenly,

Ye Xiuxiu felt her mind gain a few degrees of clarity,

As if she possessed precocious intelligence.

Although she was only one year old, she possessed her own consciousness and the wisdom of an eight or nine-year-old child.

However, she still felt somewhat muddled,

A feeling like having a bit of a brain, but not much,

Making it easy for her intellect to be dragged along by her body.

Right at that moment, a semi-transparent light screen appeared before her eyes without warning.

Upon the light screen, rows of text flickered and emerged like living things

[Age 0: You were fortunately born into a powerful cultivation clan, and even possess a father whose strength has reached the Body Integration Stage.]

[Age 1: After some effort, you finally learned to walk unsteadily. Your Second Aunt secretly dealt a blow to you, causing you to accidentally fall and tumble, hitting your head heavily against a hard object. From then on, you became dull-witted and sluggish in behavior.]

[Age 2: Your parents decided to find a teacher to provide you with enlightenment education to teach you how to conduct yourself, but because you were so dull-witted, you frequently drove your teachers to the brink of death from anger, making them dislike you greatly.]

[Age 6: You began your cultivation, but your cultivation talent was extremely poor. Despite having an unparalleled family background, your progress in cultivation was abysmal. Facing this situation, your loving father spared no expense, consuming vast amounts of precious resources to assist your cultivation, yet in the end, the results remained meager.]

[Age 8: Struggling with unsuccessful cultivation, you learned to do business, feeling that your path to genius should lie in another direction. You were secretly framed by your Second Aunt, resulting in the destruction of a small resource point belonging to the clan.]

[Age 10: You finally met the requirements for body tempering and stepped into the Qi Refinement Stage. This was something that made you happy; you felt you were a once-in-a-generation genius.]

[Age 15: After enduring countless hardships, you finally succeeded in Foundation Establishment. This should have been a cause for ecstatic joy, but unexpectedly, on the following morning, your spiritual qi mysteriously vanished, causing your cultivation to plummet straight from the Foundation Establishment realm down to the third level of the Qi Refinement Stage.]

[Age 18: At your coming-of-age ceremony, your fiancé proposed to break off the engagement.]

[Age 20: You did not succumb to despair because of this, but instead chose to bravely embark on an entrepreneurial path, hoping to prove your worth through your own efforts, only to lose an entire fifth of the family fortune.]

[Age 25: Your second younger sister had a grand wedding, and the groom was none other than the fiancé who abandoned you years ago. Even more unbearable was that she deliberately invited you to be a bridesmaid, using the opportunity to humiliate you in every possible way at the wedding scene.]

[Age 30: You began to cultivate frantically like a madwoman, studying cultivation manuals day and night, solely to break through your current predicament and increase your cultivation. However, no matter how hard you worked, your spiritual qi would mysteriously vanish.]

[Age 35: Unwilling to accept failure, you decided to take another gamble by throwing yourself into the sea of commerce for a second entrepreneurial venture, losing another full quarter of the family fortune.]

[Age 40: Your father, who had always doted on you, also completely lost faith and patience in you. From then on, the look in his eyes when he saw you no longer held the former love and care, replaced only by deep disappointment and indifference, and not a single smile could ever be seen on his face again.]

[Age 50: Father left all the family's assets to your second younger sister and drove you out of the house.]

[Age 61: The System arrived. You finally discovered why your spiritual qi kept vanishing; it turned out there was something sinister about the gift your Second Aunt gave you on the day you established your foundation.]

Looking at these shocking words,

Ye Xiuxiu felt the world spinning,

Her heart filled with disbelief and trepidation.

Was this the depiction of her future life?

Starting with a Body Integration Stage father, ending by being kicked out of the house.

How could one word describe such misery?

If she wasn't being framed, she was being dumped; if not that, then losing money in business or being driven out of the house.

She, who once had a Body Integration Stage powerhouse as a father to protect her,

Had actually ended up with such a wretched fate?

This plot progression was simply lamentable.

[Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not despise the poor in the middle. The sixty-year period has arrived; begin the counterattack.]

[Reverse the grand situation!]

[Starting the counterattack at age sixty-one is slightly late, affecting cultivation. Rewarding talent...]

[The latecomer surpasses the predecessor.]

[Name: Ye Xiuxiu]

[Age: 61]

[Cultivation: Qi Refinement Stage, Level 3]

[Talent: The Latecomer Surpasses the Predecessor]

[The Latecomer Surpasses the Predecessor: The older the age, the faster the cultivation speed.]

"The latecomer surpasses the predecessor, but it seems I'm the predecessor right now,"

"The older the age, the faster the cultivation speed,"

"But I'm only one year old,"

"Only one year old!"

"System, you've got it wrong, haven't you?"

[Counterattack mission has been released.]

[Your father is completely disappointed in you and hasn't smiled at you for twenty years. You have been away from home for ten years, and during those ten years, you have never seen your father. Please go home and find a way to make him smile at you as the start of your counterattack.]

[Reward: Marrow Cleansing and Bone Reconstruction (Can help you reshape your physique and restart your path of cultivation.)]

Ye Xiuxiu made babbling sounds,

"Do you even know what you're saying?"

"I haven't even lived twenty years yet, and my father hasn't smiled at me for twenty years?"

She wanted the System to change it immediately.

Was she supposed to endure humiliation until she was sixty-one before she could start her counterattack?

If so, wouldn't this System have come for nothing?

But the System clearly ignored Ye Xiuxiu.

"I'm only one year old, what use is this 'Latecomer Surpasses the Predecessor' talent?"

"Is it delivered by 'Eastern Wind Express' or something? Delivered sixty years early."

"This System arrived way too early!"
