In a world where everyone awakens a Trait to start their cultivation, Rhys's was considered a joke: he would never age. 

In a world that worships raw combat power, a Trait granting eternal youth was worthless. To his powerful family, Rhys was a talentless failure, a stain on their name. With disgust, they cast him out onto the streets, leaving him with nothing.

Alone and powerless, Rhys's life was shattered when he was caught in the crossfire of a terrifying battle between two god-like cultivators. 

Mortally wounded and left to bleed out in an alley, he faced a lonely, pathetic end.

But as Rhys's vision faded and his last breath drew near, a new power roared to life within him.

[Lifespan Burning System Activated]

Suddenly, his useless Trait became Rhys's greatest weapon. His infinite lifespan was now the ultimate fuel source.

A divine martial art that takes a genius a hundred years to master? 

[Consume 100 years of lifespan. Skill comprehended to Maximum Level.]

A fatal wound that no healer can mend? 

[Consume 10 years of lifespan. Body restored to peak condition.]

An ancient, unreadable text holding the world's greatest secrets? 

[Consume 500 years of lifespan. All knowledge unlocked and understood.]

From the brink of death, Rhys rises with a burning purpose. 

The world saw him as trash, but now he will trade his endless years for the strength to stand above all.

 [Description: A conceptual artefact woven from the silence of the Labyrinth's slain echoes. When worn, it completely conceals your presence, aura, and spiritual signature, rendering you undetectable to all forms of scrying and spiritual sense below the Divine realm. Your existence cannot be probed.]


A fourth item appeared, a sphere of swirling, multi-coloured light that pulsed with the essence of every element.


[Description: A convergence of all fundamental, rare, and legendary elements. By absorbing this seed, you will gain a perfect affinity with all elemental paths, allowing you to bond with any element you encounter without conflict.]


Finally, the voice spoke one last time, its words resonating deep within Rhys's dantian space.
