Xue Ling had encountered unexpected events in several previous worlds when he transmigrated over, so he had already prepared himself to face an embarrassing situation when he opened his eyes.

But there was none of that this time. His environment was incredibly safe, and there was nobody who knew him that would come by and greet him...

The sky was blue, the grass was green, and not far away, there was a small creek flowing by. The sound of water was nearby, the air was fresh, and life was good.

Xue Ling had not experienced such tranquillity for a long time. cf90PK

This time, he did not need any disguise, nor did he need to use any strange masks to camouflage himself and work hard not to let himself go OOC, because his current identity had no relatives, no friends, and no acquaintances at all.

He couldn't even walk, because his roots were fixed in one place and he couldn't pull himself up from the ground for the time being.

Yes. This time, Xue Ling transmigrated into a tree.

He was just a small sapling. A sapling that had lived for tens of thousands of years, and already had its own consciousness... GcunbO

It was not actually an ordinary tree. His identity was quite superior, and his species was also very amazing, miraculous to the point where if someone knew his identity, he would run the risk of getting cut into pieces at any moment.

Xue Ling's body was a tree, but what he could do was coalesce his spirit into a spiritual body and then hover above the sapling. And because it was a small sapling, he found it darkly humorous to give himself the appearance of a young, cute little boy.

That little face was so cute that the system was momentarily stunned. Even though the expression on its host's face was very dangerous, seemingly wanting to chop it up and feed it to the dogs, it still could not bear to turn its gaze away. "System, shouldn't you explain this?" His voice was soft and tender, and extremely cute.

The system felt a bad feeling travel through its fox body - its host was breaking all the rules!gazhOd

"H..host! " The system raised its paws and expressed that it loved its host so much that it absolutely would not make things difficult for him. The reason its host had become what he was now was only because this world was a little strange.

"This world is a world without a future."

"No future?"

"Yes. This is a world that was constructed off a novel, and it belonged to the levelling-up genre and was supposed to be very long. The reason the story has no future is because this novel has been dropped." The system looked very serious as it explained this to Xue Ling, but it was busy thinking in its head that it was a pity its host currently did not have a concrete body, as it really wanted to burrow its head into this little cute boy's arms.IsShxp

Its host was too cute as a child!

After he grew up... let's not talk about after he grew up.

"Dropped..." Xue Ling was surprised, and somewhat dazed. This was the first time he had come to a story that had been abandoned. And two of his tails were in this world, but he had no idea where to go to find them. After all, it was a long, levelling-up type novel, which meant that this world's world building would be very broad, and the background and depth must also be very ambitious. "What about the protagonist?"

"A dropped novel means that the protagonist's future will be foggy. From host's perspective, this will make it easier to accomplish the tasks." 5yU2fc

System: "... Ha-ha. Host, you don't have to be so pessimistic..." At the end of the day, the system felt a little guilty about picking this body, so it was constantly trying to be considerate towards its host. It had even used power outside of its jurisdiction in order to communicate with this world's consciousness and bargain to give this Tree of Enlightenment the ability to cultivate in exchange for improving the plot and thoroughly changing this world. "At least you have hope! The original owner of this body had over ten thousand years of cultivation, but because there was no method of cultivation, it could not progress. I believe that based on lord host's wisdom, we'll soon be able to leave this place and find the protagonist!"

The protagonist of this world was this world's pillar of existence, and it was impossible to kill him. What Xue Ling could choose to do instead was to help him complete his life of cultivation and change his destiny, allowing him to live without worries, without pain and bitterness, and grow up smoothly with a reputation as a genius youth.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time that I've had to protect a protagonist~" Xue Ling held his chin as he pondered, "I hope it's a good child."yj8RtI

"Yes. You can also find him a Dao partner or something, and change things so that he doesn't spend his whole life without a confidant. That way, even if his fate is completely rewritten, he won't be considered as the Son of the Dao of Heaven, and will just become an ordinary cultivator amongst thousands."

"System, I discovered that you've been become more and more able to scheme lately."

"That's true. After all, since host isn't doing your part, I can only rely on my own efforts."

Thank you for reading our translation!

"I'll definitely be very glad if the day comes where you can accomplish your tasks without getting into a relationship."

"Speaking of love. I just remembered." Xue Ling narrowed his eyes and asked his family's system, "What about that man? There's no mention of anyone who meets his transmigration requirements in the story..."

System: "..."

... Things like falling in love were really frustrating. "I don't know. Perhaps he's turned into a stone by the roadside..." The system muttered quietly, "This world's plot is not complete at all, and there are many existences that the author never mentioned. Host's power is relatively weak now, and the first thing you should do is to transform into a person and withdraw from this place."dqSChj

"What about the current timeline?" Once he's decided to really complete the tasks, the more he knows, the better. "Where is the protagonist now?"

The system considered it, then spoke in a tone that expressed volumes when it answered Xue Ling, "Still in his mother's belly..."

Xue Ling: "..."

The system raised its voice and chanted, "Come on, cheer up. There's plenty of time in any case~"DjF6qW

Xue Ling: "System, it seems that something has gone wrong with your upgrade..."

System: "I feel the same way, so I want to find the Ten Directions World and face off for a bit."

Xue Ling: "..."

It was probably because this place that was as quiet as a dead chicken was too boring; other than cultivating, Xue Ling could only chat with the system. Over time, both of them inexplicably improved their ability to mess with the other side. hVI69y

The path of cultivation was a long one. As a fox spirit who had already cultivated for thousands of years in previous ears, Xue Ling was well adapted to such a life. He even felt that not only was the little sapling's cultivation rising, his own cultivation was also on the rise.

As long as he retrieved his two tails from this world, he would have recovered five of his tails. By then, his own strength would experience a great leap forward, and he might be able to break through the barrier in his mind to reach the memories that had been sealed within.

Unfortunately, his days of calm tranquility passed by very quickly, and the secret realm that Xue Ling resided in was about to open again the way it did every 500 years.

The protagonist would not visit the secret realm this time it opened, so Xue Ling picked the simplest solution and disguised himself as a common tree, hiding in a nearby grove.z4vF6Q

Unfortunately, things in this world were changing too quickly. Even stories with plots had a high likelihood of change, let alone this kind of abandoned world where anything could happen.
