Chapter 1: A Guiyi world? A cultivation world? I really can't tell them apart!

This is a world bound by rules.

To prevent the power of the ominous from eroding reality, the lucky ones chosen by destiny must defeat the Guiyi in the Dier Shijie.

To survive in the contest against it.

Only in this way,

can the Xianshishijie be prevented from being polluted to a deeper degree, and can the arrival of those things be avoided.

Jiangcheng.

The night is dark and the wind is high, with constant thunder and rain.

"Boom—"

Pale lightning spills onto the earth, lighting up the day and night while startling Su Qiu from his deep sleep.

Opening his eyes, the ceiling Su Qiu sees is unfamiliar; he is not acquainted with this place.

"Where is this?"

He wonders why he has suddenly appeared here.

This home that does not belong to him.

Just as Su Qiu feels puzzled about his situation, a line of golden-glowing prompts suddenly appears before him.

This is a note, and also a prompt.

【Respected Chosen One, welcome to the Dier Shijie shrouded by rules; you bear the fate of Zhanlan Xing to survive here.】

【Please stay clear-headed, do not be corrupted by it.】

【Otherwise, the Gui Tan in the Dier Shijie will merge with your world, and the things here will also appear in your world.】

【Current Gui Tan: Mother's Note.】

【There are 10 minutes left until the rule-based Gui Tan begins, please prepare yourself.】

"A Guiyi Shijie covered by rules?"

Looking at the prompt given by the golden note, Su Qiu is stunned.

He never imagined that, despite just staying up late to play games, he would actually transmigrate into a bizarre and grotesque Guiyi Shijie!

This is too bizarre!

After the intense curiosity, there is unprecedented fear.

From the prompt given by the note, he can determine that the place he is in has ghosts, and he is destined to have contact with ghosts for a period of time in the future.

Can he do what is described in the note and not be polluted by the Guiyi? He does not know. Just as Su Qiu is panicked and uneasy, not knowing how to deal with the current situation, his peripheral vision suddenly catches a line of semi-transparent text in the bottom right corner.

This is text only he can see; it is a golden finger.

【System Prompt】: Detected that the host has descended into a cultivation world, meeting the system binding rules; the Strongest Cultivation System has been bound!

【System Prompt】: In 9 minutes and 51 seconds, the host will enter the Zongmen Jindi; please prepare! "?"

A cultivation world?

Su Qiu is stunned.

If he remembers correctly, didn't the golden note say this is a Guiyi Shijie covered by rules?

What on earth is the cultivation world the system is talking about?

Guiyi and cultivation, these two have completely different styles! Su Qiu cannot understand.

However, he does not have the heart to continue researching these two worlds.

Because Su Qiu knows.

Time will prove everything to him.

Whether this is the Guiyi Shijie mentioned by the golden note, or the cultivation world mentioned by the system, as time moves on.

He will eventually get the answer.

For now,

the most important thing is to prepare and welcome the end of the countdown!

The Dier Shijie.

Appeared on August 31, 2069, Zhanlan Xing time.

At that time.

Strange, eerily red characters could be seen in the sky above the entire planet, and the characters clearly stated that a new era would arrive in one week.

At that time, everyone thought it was a joke.

No one took it seriously.

It wasn't until midnight on September 7, when the blood curtain spread and completely shrouded the entire world, that everyone realized what the blood curtain said was true.

A new era—the Guiyi era bound by rules—had arrived!

It is right at the Qiongdin of Zhanlan Xing!

At the same time, the blood curtain started the elimination game between Zhanlan Xing and the Dier Shijie.

With each country on Zhanlan Xing as a region, the blood curtain selects one Chosen One to enter the Dier Shijie, letting them compete with the Guiyi inside.

Both the Chosen One and the Guiyi are bound by rules.

If the Chosen One can see through the Guiyi's little tricks and recognize the correct rules, they can stand out from the game and obtain a chance of survival.

Living,

not only allows one to obtain the extremely rich rewards of the Dier Shijie, but also protects one's own country from Guiyi invasion.

Dying.

That region of the Dier Shijie will merge with reality.

Guiyi will arrive, and the people will be plunged into misery! 【Come to think of it, I'm quite nervous; this is the first time all 203 countries in the world are competing with the Dier Shijie.】

【The ghosts mentioned in the Blood Curtain should be about the same as the ghosts recorded in our stories, right?】

【They are very different.】

【The Blood Curtain clearly states that the ghosts descending into the Xianshishijie possess terrifying power; they can wreak havoc on a region and devastate all living things!】

【Furthermore, we have no way to harm the ghosts.】

【Ghosts are invincible.】

【If a ghost were to descend into reality, then Zhanlan Xing would become a paradise for it to enjoy.】

【Look at the sky, everyone, the strange characters have disappeared!】

【The thing that just appeared seems to be a livestream room?】

【A livestream room? Could it be that they are preparing to broadcast the entire experience of the Destiny Holders competing against ghosts in the Dier Shijie for us to see?】

【This is a good thing.】

【Indeed! At the very least, we can learn a little about the Dier Shijie through the livestream room and know the status of the Destiny Holders.】

Dier Shijie—

As the countdown continued to tick away, Su Qiu could clearly feel the temperature around him dropping.

A mysterious force began to merge into this room from the outside.

That thing might be the ghost mentioned on the golden slip, the soul that the system said guards the Zongmen Jindi.

"Hoo."

After taking a deep breath, Su Qiu prepared himself to meet the challenge.

He focused all of his attention on what was in front of him.

With his eyes, he stared fixedly at the end of the final minute of the countdown.

【60】

【59】

【58】

【.】

【3】

【2】

【1】

As the number changed to '0', this line of red countdown text with its warning tone disappeared.

A new white slip took its place.

【Gui Tan Rules—Mom's Note】: During the month that Mom is out, you must follow the rules on the note while home alone.

【Rule 1】: There is a month's worth of food in the refrigerator; please ration it reasonably.

【Rule 2】: If someone knocks on the door during the day, please use the peephole to determine if you know the person outside and whether they are whole.

【Rule 3】: If someone knocks on the door at night, no matter who it is, do not pay them any attention.

【Rule 4】: Darkness is dangerous.

【Rule 5】: If you hear strange noises in the house, immediately walk to the door and look through the peephole; the neighbor will come to help you.

The neighbor is a middle-aged woman who will not have any expression; if you discover that she is smiling in a Guiyi way, please lock the door tightly and hide in the Wardrobe.

【Rule 6】: Do not enter the Wardrobe.

These are the rules given by the white slip, and they are completely different from the hints given by the system.

【System Hint】: As the most outstanding disciple of the Heart-Refining Sect, you have been granted the opportunity to train in the Zongmen Jindi.

Please seize every opportunity within the Forbidden Land to improve yourself!
