"Gift of Destiny?"
Inside a dilapidated thatched hut, Yun Shen stared doubtfully at the ornate gift box in his hands.
He recalled the mock descent classes from middle school, but nothing like this had ever appeared before.
After a moment's hesitation, he lifted the lid. Within lay a single, bizarre object—lines of tangled, chaotic characters writhed like serpentine dragons, tumbling within the box before surging into his body.

* Others cannot perceive these entries.
* While sealed, the maximum obtainable entry is *Gold – Legendary*.
* Entries follow the same rarity hierarchy as other items.
* *First three refreshes are guaranteed to yield Legendary entries.*

"This… this is unbelievable!"
Yun Shen's eyes shone with excitement. If memory served, three years ago, news broke online of a seemingly ordinary *World Wonder* auctioned on Blue Star for a sum in the trillions!
And that had only been of common quality. His—though still unclassified—was extraordinary. If word of this leaked, it would surely incite the gods of all races into bloody conflict.
"No time to waste. Let's try it now!"
Yun Shen turned to the Territory Core hovering above the hut's center—a dull gray crystal sphere.
---
**Territory (Level 1)**
* **Trait:** Wicked Matriarch (Gray – Inferior)
* **Area:** 1,000 m²
* **Buildings:** Thatched Hut ×1
* **Entries:** None (0/1)
**Trait – Wicked Matriarch (Gray):**
* **Skill 1:** May only recruit female heroes and units; all appearances are guaranteed to be 100% hideous.
* **Ability 2:** All female residents' attributes ×50%. (Effectively halves all stats.)
---
"No wonder no one wants Inferior cores… everything's cut by half."
Yun Shen fell silent. He'd studied countless case files about bizarre Territory traits, but never one that touched appearance so directly.
"Refresh!"
Three orbs of light—green, blue, and gold—circled the crystal sphere.
* **Workaholic (Green):** Residents' work efficiency +30%.
* **Fertile Soil (Blue):** Plant growth speed +50%.
* **Kingdom of Daughters (Gold):** All recruited female heroes and units guaranteed beautiful and pure; female residents' attributes ×1000%.
"Hhh… Tenfold stats!?"
Yun Shen's breath caught. Without hesitation, he bestowed *Kingdom of Daughters* upon his Territory.
The golden orb sank into the Domain Core, while the other two lights dissipated.
**Note:** Some traits, after being granted entries, will not change their original quality.
Checking again, Yun Shen's eyes widened.

**Wicked Matriarch (Gray – Inferior)**
* **Skill 1:** May only recruit female heroes and units; all guaranteed beautiful and pure.
* **Ability 2:** All female residents' attributes ×500%.

The original drawbacks had been overwritten. One penalty nullified, the other transformed into a boon of fivefold strength.
"Whose *weakness* turns into fivefold power!?"
Yun Shen laughed aloud, his earlier bitterness dissolving into exhilaration and hope for the future.
But then another thought struck him: *Can I… refresh myself?*
"Refresh!"
Once more, three glowing orbs appeared: gray, blue, and gold.
* **Annoying Man (Gray):** Women's affection cap -50.
* **Slave Labor (Blue):** Work efficiency +50%.
* **Child of Destiny (Gold):** Possesses fortune far surpassing ordinary men, mysteries unfathomable.
Without a second's pause, Yun Shen absorbed *Child of Destiny*. The golden light merged into his body, yet no immediate change occurred.
Still, destiny itself was no small matter. History spoke of Lord Zhu Yuanzhang of the Wu Ming Domain, once a starving beggar at sixteen. Fortune had lifted him to godhood—his fate even worse than Yun Shen's at first, yet transformed by destiny.
Fate might not bear fruit overnight, but its promise was infinite.
"One more guaranteed Legendary refresh left…"
He took off his backpack, unzipped it, and emptied the sparse items within.
Every new entrant to the Myriad Races Battlefield could carry a small supply of belongings. But as an orphan living off state stipends, Yun Shen had neither wealth nor treasures. His pack was meager.

**Initial Items:**
* Hero Summoning Token ×1
* Summoning Charm ×1
* Wooden Fence Blueprint ×1
* Axe ×1
* Fasting Pills (bag)
* Source Crystals ×100
---
**Hero Summoning Token**
* **Category:** Hero Token
* **Quality:** White – Common
* **Ability:** Randomly summon a common hero.
* **Entries:** None (0/1)
**Summoning Charm**
* **Category:** Charm
* **Quality:** White – Common
* **Ability:** Randomly summon 5–10 common soldiers.
* **Entries:** None (0/1)
---
Yun Shen hesitated. Should he invest his final Legendary refresh into the Hero Token… or the Charm?
Logic dictated that soldiers mattered more in the early game. Tasks like monster hunting and lumber gathering required manpower, not heroes.
But looking at his pitiful supplies, Yun Shen sighed, and chose the Hero Token.
"Refresh!"
Three light spheres spun into view.
* **Spirit of Flora (Blue):** Can summon a Wood-element hero. Token quality upgraded to *Blue – Rare*.
* **Mermaid's Kiss (Purple):** Can summon a Mermaid hero. Token quality upgraded to *Purple – Excellent*.
* **Cyber Cultivation (Gold):** Can summon a hero combining technology and cultivation. Token quality upgraded to *Gold – Legendary*.
Yun Shen froze. Dual-discipline heroes were rare, risky, and immensely promising—capable of soaring heights or devastating failure.
This time, the golden light merged into the Hero Token itself. What had once been dull white now erupted in dazzling gold.
---
**Hero Summoning Token**
* **Quality:** Gold – Legendary
* **Ability:** Randomly summon a hero who blends technology and cultivation.
* **Entry:** Cyber Cultivation (Gold) (1/1)

Yun Shen stared at the radiant token, heart pounding.
The battlefield had just begun, yet his fate had already twisted beyond imagination.
