Chapter 8: Benefits for Travelers: The Multiverse, Competing for Fortune
Han Yue recalled an article he had read online titled "What Do Dying People Experience?" which described the various bizarre phenomena that individuals encounter just before death. One of the descriptions seemed to reflect his current state.
Good treasure, oh good treasure!
Hmm, let me take a look at what this Qinglian system actually has to offer
However, do not forget that Han Yue is a time traveler
"This is the gate of life, I should not die..." A sudden realization appeared in my mind, as if everyone should inherently know it. Han Yue did not dare to hesitate at all and stepped forward into the door.
He shouted loudly, yet found that no matter how hard he strained his voice, he could not hear a single echo, as if sound had lost its intended function here. He gazed into the distance, yet discovered that no matter how intently he focused, he could not see a hint of color, as if vision had also lost its ability to discern here
Han Yue felt that he had a very long dream, which might also be the most painful dream in history
"Saint, are you out of your mind? With all this nonsense and empty talk, can you provide something substantial?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Han Yue's mind; he vaguely suspected that he must have been severely injured in the collision, leading his consciousness to be in a near-death state, which is why he found himself in such a bizarre dream.
Do not be afraid, do not cry, dear girl, your husband is fine. Han Yue stretched out his hand with difficulty, rubbed Dou Dou's head, suddenly coughed once, expelling a mouthful of turbid air from his chest
I acknowledge that the collision was my fault. Please feel free to specify the compensation you seek in detail.
"In a place shrouded in uncertainty, where the heavens and the earth are not visible, and the universe is absent, it is said that this is the scene one experiences just before the soul departs the body. So, am I about to die now?"
Han Yue trembled his lips, expressing all the words of praise he could think of without reservation
Han Yue looked up to the sky and cursed, for he did not believe in fate. What concerned him more was the bizarre experiences he had gone through; according to the principle that fortune lies hidden within misfortune, there should be some benefits to be gained.
The door is infinitely vast, reaching up to the blue sky and down to the yellow earth. It is engraved with a sense of weightiness, exuding a desolate aura, and embodying an ancient simplicity. The door appears to be both distant and near, with a mysterious gravitational pull that can instantly draw a person to its front.
Han Yue's curiosity was piqued, and she couldn't help but search and investigate. ... Indeed, there really was ...
Han Yue thought of this, and as he focused his mind slightly, he felt the system in his mind slowly activate. It was then that he realized that the system had already unlocked three basic modules
It is a diagram of the Bagua, consisting of a total of six lines of Yin and Yang. At the top, the overlapping Yin and Yang form the symbol for Gen, while at the bottom, the alternating long and short lines represent Kan. Gen symbolizes the mountain, and Kan symbolizes water.
Such stars are not from last night, for whom does the wind and dew stand in the middle of the night
Unfortunately, Han Yue in his previous life was uneducated and had no understanding of this ancient and mysterious knowledge. He merely glanced at it and lost interest, continuing to walk forward.
Han Yue began to desperately recall that article, thinking about its descriptions of near-death experiences, as the article discussed examples of resurrection. In other words, as long as he followed the methods outlined in that article, there was a possibility of being resurrected after death
Oh, there are actually several items that can be exchanged, how strange, when did I ever acquire such good fortune
Under the mountain, water emerges, which signifies enlightenment. The term 'enlightenment' refers to the teaching and guiding of others. Having received this hexagram, you are destined to educate the world in this life, and you are worthy to be a teacher for generations to come... Oh, how strange, could it be that this child is destined to become a sage who enlightens all beings in the future...
At the moment Han Yue entered the Gate of Life, he suddenly saw vast clouds appearing between heaven and earth. These clouds rolled and transformed, gradually coalescing into a familiar image.
Above is Gen and below is Kan, which signifies water emerging from beneath the mountain (the author is also named this)
When one encounters such a situation, one must not remain stationary. For a bizarre void may suddenly appear, drawing the person into it, and at that moment, there will truly be no escape
The river of time flows endlessly, and the years gradually fade away. In that distant and timeless expanse, there exists an innate and indestructible divine light that has continuously guarded the heart of the chaotic blue lotus. In pairs, they accompany each other, stealthily seizing the laws of the heavens, and ultimately gave birth to the "Innate Indestructible Blue Lotus Creation System"
Boundless darkness fills the space, endless land stretches into the distance, a cold and dim atmosphere pervades the surroundings, and in the obscurity, there seems to be chaos churning.
That seems to be a mysterious voice
Gather the gratitude of ten individuals to exchange for a thread of fortune, gather a hundred threads of fortune to become the sage of a village. The host manufactures mosquito coils and hires people to sell them, your influence has already enveloped a hundred people in the village, thus you have obtained the fortune and status of the sage of the village
As the chosen master of the "Innate Immortal Green Lotus Transformation System," Han Yue possesses the highest authority. By consuming fortune, he can exchange for anything. In other words, as long as Han Yue continuously gathers fortune and accumulates faith, he can effortlessly possess this world
In the next moment, the clouds dispersed, the celestial flowers and the sounds of the divine faded away, and Han Yue's sea of consciousness rapidly withered. All the miraculous and splendid scenes he had experienced began to vanish without a trace. Moreover, an unseen great force was erasing all his unconscious memories. By the time Han Yue was still in a daze, neither fully awake nor asleep, everything he had just experienced had already been forgotten
All people cherish life and fear death, for there exists great terror between life and death, which is why everyone struggles desperately at the brink of death, unwilling to sink into oblivion
You old man, leveling up grants ten times the experience, is this still the treatment for a novice? Even web games aren't this exploitative!
There is no mistake; it is indeed a creation out of thin air. As long as such things or skills have existed in the world, whether they are from ancient times or from a distant future, they can all be manufactured.
Since everyone is like this, there is no need to elaborate on it extensively.
With this thought in mind, Han Yue made a concerted effort to recall.
In the myriad realms, the contest of fortunes unfolds. Welcome to the Myriad Realms Fortune System
Before the emergence of time, chaos had already nurtured extraordinary entities. To the left, the heavens were opened, and to the right, Pangu separated the earth. In the middle, the azure lotus created transformations. Countless years later, Pangu opened the heavens and created the earth, while the azure lotus shattered into myriad pieces, transforming into countless wondrous treasures. Among them, there exists a single lotus heart that remains undying, yet it is hidden and cannot be revealed
He seemed to stand in a place that could not be named, where there was no up or down, no directions, and seemingly no time or concepts, leaving one feeling helpless and lost in a haze of solitude
Wuwu, my lord, you have finally woken up, you scared Dou Dou to death!" With a sob of sorrow and a face like a pear blossom drenched in rain, it was the little loli who, upon seeing him awake, began to cry out loud in joy.
Indeed, there is still that mysterious voice.
In an instant, boundless light appeared from the heavens, and countless flowers bloomed on the earth, accompanied by the profound sounds of the great way, softly humming and singing. This is the sound of life being born. Heaven and earth are impartial; in their eyes, there is no distinction between nobility and lowliness, wealth and poverty. The journey of every life from death to birth is magnificent, not because you are an emperor should I adorn your birth with more golden brilliance, nor because you are a beggar should your passing be silent and unnoticed.

He could only vaguely sense that he seemed to have experienced something, yet he could not recall anything at all. This feeling of forgetting everything was truly maddening, yet there was not a single way to remedy it
This system is all-encompassing, covering the universe and its principles, and because it has stolen the laws of the heavens, it can create things out of nothing
"I say, you son of a bitch, look at your arrogant and foolish appearance, just wait for me..." Han Yue exclaimed angrily, then closed his eyes and turned away, having already devised a means of revenge.
Han Yue recalled the content of the article while running swiftly
Han Yue hesitated for a long time, feeling quite perplexed. After searching in the system for a while, he finally found an icon resembling a bill in the lower right corner. Upon clicking it, he discovered that it recorded the reasons for his acquired fortune.
The third module, named the Universal Store, allows for the purchase and exchange of items. This area is all-encompassing, featuring several items that shimmer with a faint glow, indicating that they are in a state of meeting the exchange conditions
The first module, named the Fields of Mountains and Waters, is suitable for planting spiritual herbs and grains. This area spans a considerable ten acres, with a fountain in the center. The spring water is crystal clear and cold, possessing the miraculous effect of accelerating plant growth
Han Yue felt a sudden pain and instinctively froze, realizing that he had reached the end of the Gate of Life, and his consciousness had returned to his original body
Damn it, I, Lord Han, cannot just let this go; I must think of something!
Between life and death, there exists great terror
The lotus offers salvation to the impoverished, illuminating the world with a vast sky. The host must strive for development, upgrading the small village to a large estate, with a population exceeding one thousand. Upon meeting this requirement and gathering fortune, one may attain the esteemed position of a sage in the estate.
I see, it turns out to be caused by the production of mosquito coils. The entire village has exchanged their fortune for just a hundred strands, it seems that this collection is not easy at all. I wonder if there will be another opportunity for fortune in the future
Indeed, all of this extravagant imagery or the profound sounds of the Dao are manifested within the ocean of human consciousness, and the external world is unable to witness such magnificent scenes
Hmph, even a galloping horse cannot kill me, the old man. I, Hu Huan San, have returned again. That reckless youth, it is time to settle our score.
At that moment, a sound of hurried footsteps was heard outside the door, and several soldiers rushed in. The leading general, clad in armor that clinked, approached the bedside with a worried expression.
Ahead, there seems to be a door.
This golden finger is indeed thick, firm, powerful, and ferocious
The path of life and death is a process that every living being must undergo, and the immense power of heaven and earth does not change according to human will. The scenes experienced by every living being at the brink of death or at the moment of birth are equally magnificent and vast
He let out a harsh sound, his gaze cold.
Travelers generally possess a golden finger
I never expected that the benefits of crossing over would not only be withheld but also astonishing when given. This is truly the most severe form of treatment among the benefits for those who have crossed over.
A gentleman takes revenge; ten years is not too late. A petty person seeks revenge from morning till night. Lord Han is not a gentleman; I do not care what kind of general you are disguised as a man. This grudge, we will surely settle it.
The door of life, in the blink of an eye, reaches its end
I must say, it seems that I have indeed recalled something.
The second module, named Evolution and Longevity, provides the host with physical and mental evolution based on the different system levels, and it is said that ultimately it can enable a person to achieve immortality
Between heaven and earth, there is a profound silence, a silence that instills fear in one's heart
