"The fourth lifetime has ended, calculating rewards..."

Out of nothingness arose chaos, and from chaos came darkness, within the vast and boundless darkness, a jade book emanating endless radiance suddenly leapt from the unknown void.

The jade book opened automatically to the fourth page, then a figure stepped out from the page, quickly solidifying from an ethereal form into a living, breathing young man.

Zhao Sheng opened his eyes, and gazing at the fluctuating memories on the pages, his expression was highly complex.

As the final scene of memories became fixed, the myriad loves, hates, and sorrows of his fourth lifetime were suddenly extracted by the Hundred Lifetimes Book.

In a flash, Zhao Sheng felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, revitalizing his entire being, his spirit becoming incredibly relaxed.

At the same time, an extremely familiar voice suddenly sprang from the bottom of his heart:

"Evaluation completed, the final rating for the fourth lifetime is: B+."

"Rating Reward: You have earned three Yellow Level inheritance permissions (one high-level permission can be split into three low-level permissions).

You can choose to inherit from Constitution, Skill, Talent, or Profession. Please make your selection?"

Having heard the summary, Zhao Sheng felt a bit intrigued, as this time there was even a choice to inherit a Profession, suggesting that even the Hundred Lifetimes Book advances with the times.

As for what to inherit?

After a moment of thought, Zhao Sheng said, "Inherit the Four Spirit Roots Constitution, Bullet Time Talent, and Second Order Talisman Master Profession."

"Inheriting..."

"Constitution, Talent, Profession have been inherited!"

Ding!

Following the clear sound like that of a bell, the voice from within sprang forth again: "Congratulations on achieving five life achievements!"

"The achievements are as follows: 1. Family Revival (Mortal Level); 2. Foundation Establishment Success (Yellow Level); 3. Upgraded to Second Order Talisman Master (Yellow Level); 4. Family Upgraded to Spirit Vein Family (Yellow Level); 5. Destroying Golden Core enemy (Profound Level)

"Achievement Reward: Five random rewards consisting of one Profound, three Yellow, and one Mortal (note: a high-level reward can be split into three low-level rewards).

You can draw from Constitution, Skill, Talent, Profession, or opt to enhance an ability level. Please make your selection?"

After hearing the achievements tally, Zhao Sheng's heart felt cool.

During his fourth lifetime, he believed he had achieved many great deeds, thinking that he would have at least eight or nine, if not ten achievements.

Yet the Hundred Lifetimes Book was so stingy, granting him only five achievements in total.

Even more infuriating, destroying the Zhou family was only considered a Profound Level achievement!

Could it be that one must bring about an apocalypse to reach a higher achievement?

This... was definitely too much to ask of Zhao Sheng!

With this realization, Zhao Sheng's heart began to ache faintly, sensing that his future life would become increasingly difficult.

"My life is truly difficult!"

After a sigh, Zhao Sheng rallied his spirits and started his calculations in earnest.

First, he attempted to use a Yellow Level reward to enhance his Spirit Root Constitution.

As expected, he failed!

"Use the Profound Level reward to upgrade Spirit Root Constitution"

Having said that, Zhao Sheng felt very nervous, deeply hoping that the Spirit Roots included a Water Spirit Root so as not to waste his fourth lifetime's cultivation experience.

Fortunately, he was not cursed with bad luck, nor was the Hundred Lifetimes Book that cruel.

"Spirit Root upgrade in progress... Congratulations, your Constitution has been upgraded to Water, Metal, Fire Three Spirit Roots."

Good!

Zhao Sheng's face showed delight as he couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

With the most important task accomplished, he immediately relaxed.

What remained was the enjoyable random draw.

First, he tried a Mortal Level Talent draw to test the waters.

"Mortal Level Talent extraction in progress..."

In an instant, countless white light balls appeared and then vanished on the fifth book page.

Soon, one of the light balls rapidly expanded and then burst open, scattering into numerous light points.

"Congratulations to the host for drawing the Mortal Level Talent Steel Will."

Zhao Sheng felt a bit disappointed to see that it was Steel Will, feeling the Talent wasn't very useful.

Never mind that, the main event was the three Yellow Level draws.

Zhao Sheng spoke solemnly, "Choose to draw once for a Yellow Level Talent and once for a Yellow Level Constitution."

"Yellow Level Talent and Constitution extraction in progress... Congratulations on drawing the Yellow Level Talent Danger Perception... Congratulations on drawing the Yellow Level Constitution Spiritual Clan Bloodline (Incomplete)"

At that moment, two pieces of information flooded Zhao Sheng's mind.

[Danger Perception: Your Innate Spiritual Consciousness is different from ordinary people, capable of sensing danger in the unknown.]

[Spiritual Clan Bloodline (Incomplete): A part of the Ancient Spirit Clan's bloodline awakens within you, remember it is a blessing not a curse.]

After reading the two pieces of information, Zhao Sheng's interest was piqued, and he very much wanted to know the specifics of these two abilities, whether they could compare to the Bullet Time Talent.

That's right, there's still one Yellow Level random reward left.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng no longer wished to draw randomly, instead choosing to enhance the Steel Will Talent.

"Promotion of Talent Steel Will in progress..."

...

Oooh... ooh!

A deep and powerful sound of a horn seemed to come from the distant horizon, then grew deafeningly loud.

Zhao Sheng jerked awake from his dream, his body suddenly sitting upright.

As his vision cleared and he saw he was in a cramped, dim cabin, the cabin suddenly shook violently, close to ninety degrees, and Zhao Sheng was thrown out, headlong towards the cabin wall.

"Be careful!" Wu Fang's face changed drastically as he cried out in warning.

Expecting an inevitable tragedy, Wu Fang wore an expression of distress.

However, just at that moment, his eyes widened in shock.

Thrown into the air, Zhao Sheng was suddenly surrounded by a large amount of water that appeared out of nowhere. The water instantly formed into a large water ball, firmly protecting him in its center.

Smack!

The water ball hit the cabin wall and easily bounced off.

Zhao Sheng casually landed on the floor and then waved away the water ball.

Whoosh!

The water dispersed with a crash, spilling all over the cabin floor.

"This... this..." Wu Fang was taken aback, stuttering for a few seconds before exclaiming in shock, "Ding Tian, you... you can instant cast a spell?"

"Brother Wu, it's just a matter of practice! I've been practicing this Water Condensation Skill since I was six, never missing a day, and it's been seven years now," Zhao Sheng casually provided an explanation as he absorbed the memories.

"So that's how it is!" Wu Fang felt relieved after hearing the explanation.

The Water Condensation Skill is just a First-tier Magic, and after nearly ten years of hard practice, it's very possible to reach the Instantaneous Realm...

...as if!

If it weren't for the Bullet Time Talent, Zhao Sheng might have already died before achieving mastery in this life.

Curious again, Wu Fang was about to ask more questions when he suddenly heard Zhao Sheng urging, "Brother Wu, the emergency horn has sounded. Let's hurry up to the deck!"

"Right, right! Let's move quickly to the deck!"

As if waking from a dream, Wu Fang leaped out of his hammock and hurriedly clambered up the ladder, barefoot.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng smiled slightly and followed suit.
