In the realm of Shenzhou, within the Huayang Grotto-Heaven, Lin Moyu walked home with a dark expression and a body covered in bruises. His mind was still replaying the lingering memories from his final moments in his previous life.
"Lin Moyu, you piece of trash, you actually dare to dream that Suyan would like you?"
"Be smart and stay away from Suyan from now on, or the next time won't be as simple as just getting a beating."
In his memory, right after leaving the academy, he had been intercepted by the school bully, Li Zihang, and dragged off to an isolated spot, where he was not only beaten up but also subjected to verbal humiliation.
Immediately afterward, another image surfaced in his mind—a pure and cute-looking girl named Suyan. The two of them had been childhood sweethearts, and their relationship had always been close.
However, after they arrived at Huayang Immortal Cultivation High School, Suyan met Li Zihang, and their relationship plummeted rapidly. Unwilling to accept this, Lin Moyu believed that a punk like Li Zihang was not good enough for Suyan, but when he finally confessed his feelings, Suyan rejected him.
Her reason was simple: "Lin Moyu, you're a good guy."
"It seems that in this life, I still haven't escaped the fate of being a simpering pushover!" Lin Moyu said with a self-deprecating chuckle.
In his previous life, Lin Moyu had hailed from Blue Star, a world devoid of any spiritual energy, yet he had been reborn because of a sudden game that appeared on his phone.
Moreover, this was no ordinary rebirth. Lin Moyu had been reborn into this world of Shenzhou, and it was only eighteen years later that his true spirit awakened, bringing back the memories of his past life along with the activation of the game that had accompanied his rebirth.
*My Immortal Cultivation Life Simulator!* Lin Moyu silently recited the name in his heart. Though he desperately wanted to examine the interface in his mind right now, he was still out on the street. Suddenly investigating that game here might lead to unforeseen accidents, so everything would have to wait until he got home.
Upon returning home, Lin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that his mother, Lin Ruyu, was not in.
Had his mother been home, he would have had to explain the origin of all these bruises.
Although Lin Moyu's mother was a female cultivator at Qi Refining Level 9, she was not as ruthless as the female cultivators depicted in the novels of his past life. On the contrary, even though Lin Ruyu clearly knew that he had no spirit roots and was good for nothing, she never skimped on his cultivation resources by even a fraction.
It was just unfortunate that despite cultivating hard for so long, Lin Moyu's cultivation remained stuck at Qi Refining Level 1, capable of casting only a few minor auxiliary spells.
Suddenly, as Lin Moyu was applying an unranked medicinal powder—Blood Spirit Powder—to his bruises on the living room sofa, the front door was pushed open violently by his mother, Lin Ruyu, who immediately caught sight of his bruises and scars.
"Mom, why are you back so early today?" Lin Moyu asked, looking at his mother somewhat awkwardly, as he certainly didn't want her to know that he was being bullied at school and worry her.
With a solemn expression, Lin Ruyu walked over to Lin Moyu and channeled her internal spiritual energy into his body. Aside from helping him absorb the medicine, she took the opportunity to check his physical condition.
"Such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell me?" Lin Ruyu asked Lin Moyu with an anxious tone.
"What big thing?" Lin Moyu asked in confusion. True, he had been dragged into an alley and given a sound beating, but this wasn't the first time; surely it didn't count as a big deal?
Looking at her son's oblivious expression, Lin Ruyu sighed and said, "You were expelled from school for harassing a female classmate. Your homeroom teacher told me."
"What?" Lin Moyu stared at his mother in utter disbelief. He had been expelled from school?
"That can't be." He still found it hard to believe, but suddenly he remembered Li Zihang telling him after the beating that he would have a surprise waiting for him when he got back.
*Could it be?* Lin Moyu recalled that Li Zihang's father was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Although Foundation Establishment cultivators could only be considered middle-to-lower tier throughout the entire Huayang Grotto-Heaven, they held a certain amount of influence within Huayang Immortal Cultivation High School. Expelling an ordinary student like him would hardly be difficult.
"Moyu, tell me what actually happened. Mom will definitely get justice for you." Lin Ruyu refused to believe that her son would ever do such a thing.
"Mom." Lin Moyu felt a pang of warmth, but knowing he couldn't drag his mother down into this, he simply grabbed her arm and shook his head helplessly.
"What is it?" Lin Ruyu asked, watching her son's reaction with deep concern.
"Mom, we're no match for them. He's a Foundation Establishment cultivator." As Lin Moyu's words fell, Lin Ruyu instantly fell silent. Foundation Establishment cultivators were indeed not beings that their ordinary household could oppose.
"Since you've been expelled, think about whether you want to come work with me at the talisman shop or transfer to an ordinary school. If your grades are good, it's not impossible to leave Huayang Grotto-Heaven." With that, Lin Moyu's mother turned and left, knowing that he needed some quiet time to himself right now.
Watching his mother's retreating figure, Lin Moyu felt hot tears well up in his eyes. An orphan in his past life, he had finally experienced a mother's love in this reborn life!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Moyu pushed all his emotions down and walked upstairs to his room. It was time to study that Immortal Cultivation Simulator.
Back in his room, Lin Moyu shifted his focus, and the information interface abruptly materialized before his eyes.
**Lin Moyu**
**Cultivation:** Qi Refining Level 1
**Karma:** Samsara Heavenly Evolution
**Samsara Warehouse:** None
**Samsara Heavenly Evolution Attempts:** 1
Lin Moyu stared at the number of available attempts for a moment before the interface shifted: "Initiate Samsara Heavenly Evolution?"
"Yes." With a thought from Lin Moyu, the interface changed again, presenting six options:
*Innate Qi Perception (Green) / Hundred-Battle Physique (White)*
*Supreme Fortune (Blue) / Innate Spirit (Blue)*
*Blood Fetus Descent (Blue) / Aura of Slaughter (Purple)*
*Please select three traits to conduct the Samsara Heavenly Evolution!*
*Innate Qi Perception: In the realm of the unseen, you can perceive the flow of Qi between heaven and earth, enhancing your perception and sensitivity to spiritual energy!*
*Hundred-Battle Physique: Your physique is exceptionally compatible with body-tempering cultivation techniques, making physical cultivation twice as effective with half the effort!*
*Supreme Fortune: In the dark, you will receive the gaze of heaven and earth!*
*Innate Spirit: An innate strand of spiritual energy exists naturally within your body, allowing you to step into Qi Refining Level 1 the moment you are born. When breaking through to the Golden Core, this innate spiritual energy will enhance the grade of your Golden Core!*
*Blood Fetus Descent: You are nurtured from a corpse steeped in blood upon a battlefield of slaughter, capable of absorbing slaughter power, Malevolent Qi, and other forces of carnage to nourish your own body. Before you are born, you need not worry about your lifespan.*
*Aura of Slaughter: Amidst the unseen, a wisp of slaughter aura emanating from the Great Dao of Slaughter is absorbed by you. From then on, your killings incur no Karma, and your breakthroughs to the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation realms will differ from ordinary people!*
Though he didn't quite understand everything, Lin Moyu quickly settled on his three traits: Supreme Fortune, Blood Fetus Descent, and Aura of Slaughter.
Once his selections were locked in, the scene before his eyes shifted once more, and lines of text began to appear:
*Samsara Heavenly Evolution begins!*
*Year 1: You are born within the body of a female corpse on a battlefield—a corpse carrying an infant. In the unseen, you feel an inexplicable gaze upon you. During your gestation, you draw in a wisp of slaughter aura, granting you a clearer understanding of slaughter power.*
*Year 2: You absorb the slaughter power and Malevolent Qi of the battlefield to nourish your foundation. Because your innate affinity lies with the Dao of Slaughter, you harbor no fear of Karma; both slaughter power and Malevolent Qi can only be transformed into your sustenance!*
*Year 3: You have transformed the blood fetus into spirit, achieving the Blood Spirit Physique. You hesitate whether to continue absorbing nutrients to forge an ultimate foundation or to be born right now! (Please choose: Forge a supreme foundation or be born immediately!)*
"Forge a supreme foundation!" Naturally, Lin Moyu understood how crucial a foundation was for future cultivation. His own cultivation had lingered at Qi Refining Level 1 despite his hard work precisely because his aptitude was too poor.
*Year 4: Believing that a foundation is of the utmost importance, you decide to forge a supreme foundation.*
*Year 5: You absorb nutrients to forge your foundation.*
*Year 10: You are forging your foundation.*
*Year 20: You are still forging your foundation.*
*Year 50: Nourished by slaughter power and Malevolent Qi, your Blood Spirit Physique advances into the Blood God Physique. The wisp of slaughter aura within your body begins to fuse with the Blood God Physique. Thrilled after advancing to the Blood God Physique, you feel that the path you have chosen is incomparably correct.*
*Year 100: You suddenly realize that though you have absorbed an unknown amount of slaughter power and Malevolent Qi, the slaughter force of this battlefield shows not the slightest sign of diminishing. Puzzled, you nonetheless choose to continue forging your supreme foundation!*
*Year 500: You discover that your Blood God Physique has completely fused with the Aura of Slaughter, and circles of Dao Patterns begin to appear across your body.*
*Year 1000: After contemplating the crimson Dao Patterns manifesting on your body for many years, you suddenly achieve enlightenment. The endless slaughter power of the battlefield surges toward you, and finally, a crimson lotus blooms within your body. Sensing that your foundation has reached its absolute limit, you decide to be born!*
*Year 1001: You absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, preparing to be born. Your cultivation realm surges instantly, leaping past Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.*
*Just as you prepare to condense your Golden Core, you perceive a sense of impending danger in the dark. But things have reached this point, and you have no choice but to break through. A crimson lotus emerges in place of a Golden Core!*
*The moment you break through to the Golden Core, heaven and earth unleash nine bolts of lightning that split the crimson lotus apart, revealing the crimson spirit fetus within. You advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, yet a growing sense of unease grips your heart!*
*Just as you choose to continue advancing to the Deity Transformation Realm, the firmament suddenly splits open, and a giant hand directly grabs toward you. Your crimson Nascent Soul spirit fetus opens its mouth and spits out a miniature bloody sword, attempting to sever that giant hand. Unexpectedly, your natal supreme treasure—condensed from the Aura of Slaughter—is seized by the giant hand, and along with your crimson lotus body, vanishes completely from this heaven and earth.*
*You are dead, slain by a Spirit Severing Heavenly Lord!*
*This Samsara Heavenly Evolution has concluded. Now calculating rewards: Aptitude improved, gained Blood Spirit Root, acquired Samsara Treasure—Slaughter Blood Lotus (Golden).*
**Blood Spirit Root (Purple):** A special variant spirit root; reduces the side effects of cultivating blood-path techniques.
**Slaughter Blood Lotus (Golden):** A Samsara Treasure. Increases the probability of the Slaughter Blood Lotus trait appearing among your karmic traits. When used, the next Samsara Heavenly Evolution will carry the Slaughter Blood Lotus karmic trait.
Opening his eyes, Lin Moyu discovered that the injuries on his body had completely healed, and even his torn clothes had been replaced with a fresh set.
As he felt a wave of physical invigoration wash over him, a thought struck him. He hurriedly crossed his legs on the ground and began to circulate his cultivation technique. To his astonishment, he found that the previously sparse specks of spiritual energy had more than doubled. Moreover, guiding those energy specks was no longer as arduous as before; he effortlessly drew the spiritual energy dots into his body.
Lin Moyu then checked the interface once more, seeing it had reverted to its previous appearance, save for the addition of his new aptitude.
**Lin Moyu**
**Aptitude:** Blood Spirit Root (Purple)
**Cultivation:** Qi Refining Level 1
**Karma:** Samsara Heavenly Evolution
**Samsara Warehouse:** Slaughter Blood Lotus (Golden)
**Samsara Heavenly Evolution Attempts:** 0 (Next Samsara Heavenly Evolution available in 7 days)
Taking a deep breath, Lin Moyu understood that his chance to change his destiny had arrived. However, he had to keep everything regarding the Samsara Heavenly Evolution strictly confidential; otherwise, the ending of his previous simulation would become his ultimate reality.
The prospect of a thousand years of Dao Fruit becoming someone else's foundation was something Lin Moyu could never accept. Furthermore, he still had vengeance to exact!
"Those who hurt me, one day I will make you pay it back tenfold!"
