Chapter 1: Why Is It So Hard To Die

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Cheng’s soul floated beside his corpse, observing the system’s performance with a blank expression.

“Ding! The system has detected that the host is dead. The undefeated system has been officially activated.”

‘Ding your grandpa! Why didn’t you ding a few days ago instead?’

“The host has obtained 100 million lives. From now on, if the host is killed, he will be resurrected with full health within 30 seconds.”

“There are great opportunities between life and death. After resurrecting, the host will definitely defeat the other party…”

Although it sounded pretty awesome, Brother Cheng remained very calm. He knew that it was impossible for him to survive after transmigrating.

The problem was that the system was too deceitful.

Back then, the location he had been transmigrated to was inside an underground cave that was hundreds of meters deep with slippery walls. He could not climb up.

He waited for seven to eight days, but no one passed by. In the end, he had actually died of thirst inside the cave. He had become a disgrace among transmigrators.

Then, the dog system finally showed up.

“Ding, the system has detected that the host has just died of thirst. The system is arranging for a method to defeat it.”

“The host has obtained the Indestructible Celestial physique. From now on, the host no longer needs to eat or drink.”

“Note: The Indestructible Celestial physique is the number one constitution in the three realms. It can automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual qi and, with it, one’s cultivation speed will become unparalleled in this world. It has mystical properties and allows one to possess the same lifespan as celestial beings. It is not restrained by the three realms or affected by the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.”

“Host, resurrect!”

Ten seconds later…

Jiang Cheng’s soul returned to his body, and his entire body was enveloped by a golden light that descended from the sky.

Bathed in it, he felt as if his entire body had been recreated anew.

The light flashed and disappeared soon after.

The feeling of hunger was gone too.

His face had become even more handsome, and his figure became even more perfect.

He looked at the system interface.

Host: Jiang Cheng

Race: Human

Realm: Mortal

Divine ability: None

Cultivation method: None

Martial techniques: None

Spiritual artifacts: None

System level: 1 (Once per day. Cannot be accumulated.)

Once per day?

Does this mean that he had only one chance to resurrect every day?

Also, according to convention, should he not be given a novice gift pack?

Jiang Cheng waited for a very long time…

However, the system seemed to have uttered too many words in one breath and, now that the system’s brain was deprived of oxygen, there were no more forthcoming movements.

What was going on?

Was it over just like that?

Other than the fact that he had transcended the normal biological needs of the human body, he did not feel that he had become any different.

His cultivation speed was now unparalleled in this world. He could automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual qi, which was equivalent to being able to level up while lying down.

Would it not be wonderful to be able to leave this place after cultivating to the realm where he could fly? However, was the system blind?

The problem was that this cave and the surrounding area did not have any spiritual qi at all.

He now understood that this system was passively activated. If he wanted to trigger more rewards, he would have to die a few more times.

Therefore, he needed to meet someone. It would be best if that person was a powerful expert.

It was a pity that the cave remained peaceful. Disregarding living people, there were not even any bugs around. He could not and did not encounter any danger at all.

Looking at the smooth and sturdy walls around him, an idea came to him.

If there was no danger, he would create his own danger!

‘It’s fine if I hit my head against the wall and commit suicide, right?’

The next day, after the resurrection cooldown ended, he made a mad dash toward the wall after some preparation.

After dashing forward about 30 meters, the system’s notification sounded.

“In view of the host’s current suicidal behavior, the system would like to give the host an additional reminder: Suicide is the host’s own will. Out of consideration, the system will respect the host’s will and will not trigger the resurrection function.”

Out of consideration?

F*ck you!

If you really respected my will, you should have brought me out of here first!

Jiang Cheng could not stop himself in time. At the critical moment, he could only use his hands to reduce the impact of the collision. In the end, he still hit the wall, but survived.

The cave was located in some desolate and uninhabited place. After that incident, there was no movement for a month.

There was not even a drop of rain.

The indestructible body was still very awesome though.

Although he could not cultivate, he did not age or die. There was not even a hint of haggardness on his face. Every day, he would automatically dust himself off.

Jiang Cheng spent most of his time sleeping. Occasionally, when he woke up, he would scold the stupid system out of boredom.

He finally realized that he was going to die of boredom.

The system had given him the wrong starting point.

He had been given a powerful ability, but it was useless given his current circumstances.

His biggest wish right now was to meet a living person. If he really could not, he would even settle for a beast or something of the sort!

“Ah!”

The shrieks in the air interrupted his daydream.

Was he finally about to meet a living person?

Tears welled up in Brother Cheng’s eyes.

He looked up and saw a dress that respected Newton’s laws of physics perfectly.

The pure white gauze dress was fluttering upwards as its wearer fell. Her two slender legs were flailing about randomly in the air, and approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

Bang!

The owner of the white gauze dress fell to the ground at the bottom of the cave with a dull thud.

Hiss…

Jiang Cheng could not help but reveal a regretful expression. After falling from such a high place, the key parts would not have been flattened, right?

Ji Linghan got up with difficulty. Her first reaction was not to look around, but to quickly adjust her messy hair and unruffle her skirt.

Image was still very important!

She looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Her facial features were delicate and beautiful. She had flickering eyelashes and pitch-black eyes that were like the depths of the ocean.

Although her dress was stained with blood and dust, her black hair was still somewhat messy, and her face was still slightly red, her appearance still elicited a soul-stirring sense of beauty.

After a full five seconds, Ji Linghan, who had finished tidying up her appearance, finally noticed that there was another person here.

When she thought about the pursuers behind her, she turned pale with fright.

She hurriedly took two steps back and took out her spiritual artifact, which was a flying sword.

“Who are you?”

Jiang Cheng laughed and began to provoke her while laughing out loud.

“I’m your grandpa! Hurry up and kill me!”
