Andy's gaze was drawn to the mirror, where he saw a thin, pale, silver-haired Asian boy wearing a purple robe.

Sighing, he headed back to his bed and sat down. Though he understood his current situation, it was still difficult for him to accept it.

Until yesterday, he was living an ordinary life in the city as an average person. And today, he was the wastrel character in the novel he read yesterday.

All of it was so magical that it was unbelievable, but this was the reality.

He groaned slowly as a jolt of pain erupted in his abdomen.

"Why did you drink so much?" he muttered as he contemplated his future.

In the end, survival is what matters most. As long as he does nothing, he is going to die with Fang Yan's hand. However, he has an advantage: he knows what the plot is. He knows when the event will happen in this world.

Closing his eyes, he thought back to all the events in the book, as they were still fresh in his mind.

The world, in this instance, is a cultivation world, where people cultivate energy to become powerful, and they are called cultivators.

The life expectancy of these cultivators increases as they become more powerful.

The cultivation process varies from person to person, and those who cannot cultivate are called mortals because they have a limited lifespan.

Since cultivators can destroy the world with a flip of their wrist, mortals view them as gods.

Fang Yan was raised by a mortal after being abandoned by his family. He grew up hearing the legends of the cultivators. He dreamed of becoming one.

When he was told that he could not cultivate due to damaged meridians in his body, his dream ended.

After a long time, he accepted the fact that he could not cultivate and began living as a mortal.

As he grew up, he realized how harsh life was. A cultivator killed the man who raised him after a minor disagreement. A cultivator raped his beloved, after which she jumped off the Mountain of Abyss and killed herself.

Weak and unable to exact any revenge, he became so depressed and convinced himself that he would end his life. Like his lover, he decided to jump off the Mountain of Abyss.

As no one knew the depth of this cliff, this mountain of Abyss was a forbidden area in this world. Even cultivators were forbidden to go there.

Rather than jumping to his death, he discovered the legacy of the Supreme Saint at the bottom of the cliff.

The Supreme Saint was a powerful cultivator from the upper world who fell to the lower world millions of years ago as a consequence of fighting a demon lord.

This world is divided into three parts - the lower world, the middle world, and the upper world

The Supreme Saint spent his last days creating a legacy that would be passed down to the rightful successor.

Andy sighed as he considered his options.

Run far away from here so no one can find him. Fang Yan will get Shi Yi and will not bother him. Nevertheless, he must live his entire life in fear, since mortals are of no value in this world, and they can be killed at any moment.

Since Lu An belonged to the Lu family, nobody dared to criticize him.

The second option is to become the cultivator by inheriting the legacy of that Supreme Saint. The problem is that there is a high risk that he will die since he has to jump off that cliff.

According to Lu An's memories, this Mountain of Abyss is in the High Heaven Empire, which is a neighboring country to the Blue Lord Empire.

A long time later, Andy selected the second option. Instead of living your whole life in fear, where death and life are decided by others. You can stake your life on it for one time and become the one who decides the lives of others. Despite the possibility of death, he was determined not to live at the mercy of others.

Andy knew that Fang Yan had not inherited the legacy.

According to Lu An, Shi Yi will join the Eternal Palace when she turns 15 after six months. After he got that legacy, Fang Yan was able to join that same sect within two months.

As for Shi Yi's future, it will be decided once he is able to inherit the legacy.

As Andy stood up, he began preparing for his new journey.
