Prologue
A full moon of early autumn hung high in the night sky, its bright light illuminating the secluded palace pavilions.
In front of a slightly dilapidated three-story palace building, a woman in palace attire stood gracefully, gazing at the palace under the moonlight.
The woman was about thirty years old, her plump and graceful figure wrapped in a plain blue dress. The elegant color
and slightly thick fabric were tailored to fit her perfectly, both blocking the chill of early autumn and highlighting her
curvaceous figure. Under the autumn moonlight, one couldn't help but wonder if the body beneath the dress was as
flawless as the moonlight itself, as ripe and juicy as the autumn fruit.
Such a figure naturally matched a face that did not disappoint. Her lightly made-up face, with its slightly upturned
eyebrows, revealed a hint of allure, and her cherry-red lips beneath her delicate nose appeared vibrant and luscious. Her high-coiled hair
exuded a unique charm of a young woman. At this moment, however, this charming young woman frowned, glancing at
the palace maid behind her who was secretly covering her mouth and yawning. She then looked back at the deep, moonlit palace and
sighed softly.
"How many people have gone to great lengths to control this palace, and how many have spent their lives here unwillingly?"
She quietly pondered these thoughts, reflecting on her own life. From childhood, she had served her mistress, then
followed her into this deep palace after her marriage, and later served her mistress's young son. Now, she had reached this state.
"Alas, in the end, I have no choice in the matter." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
Just then, she heard footsteps beside her. Turning around, she saw an elderly man in a crimson official robe
emerge from the darkness. She quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Scholar Song."
"No need for formalities, Granny Su," the old man waved his hand, glanced at the still-lit library, and frowned
as he asked, "Is the Fourth Prince still inside?"
The young woman rose, still keeping her head down, and obediently replied, "Yes. He came straight here after receiving the imperial decree
, and even had his dinner in the library."
Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but sigh deeply, indignantly saying, "Alas. The Fourth Prince has just come of age, and yet they are so impatient
. What crime has the young child committed? What crime has the young child committed? When did the imperial family's reputation become so worthless? The rites and music have collapsed!"
Before she could finish, the woman quickly bowed again, "Scholar Song, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"
Seeing this, the old man paused for a moment, then waved his sleeve and sighed, "Never mind, never mind."
He turned and walked into the darkness. Only after the old man's figure was completely swallowed by the night did the woman rise. She silently surveyed
the surrounding darkness, then turned and pushed open the door to the library behind her.
This library had three floors, housing countless classics, tales of the strange and wondrous, for the
use of scholars and imperial children in writing and studying. In recent years, however, fewer people had come. But even so, one person loved to come here more than anyone else—
the one reading by candlelight—the fourth prince of the dynasty, Li Yuanchang.
This boy was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender and graceful figure. He wore a bright yellow robe with dragon patterns, his face
like jade, and his long eyelashes covered his bright, watery eyes. His gaze was like that of a small animal, revealing
a hint of wariness, but even more so, helplessness, truly endearing.
By candlelight, this fifteen-year-old boy was turning the pages of an ancient book with his long, slender, white fingers, prompting
admiration—what a handsome and delicate young man!
The woman gracefully approached and saw the young man under the candlelight, seemingly engrossed in the ancient book in his hands, unaware of her
arrival. She didn't disturb him, but silently stepped forward and embraced him from behind. The young man stiffened at first,
then slowly relaxed, leaning against the soft, voluptuous body behind him. "Aunt Su, what time is it?"
"It's past midnight," the woman replied. "You should go back, Fourth Prince."
"No rush," the young man moved his head, nuzzling against the firm yet soft breasts behind him, as if finding
a more comfortable position, and said, "I don't know when I'll be able to come back to read this book again."
Hearing this, the woman hugged the young man even tighter with tenderness.
"Actually," the boy said softly, "Aunt Su, you don't need to come with me, I..."
Before he could finish, the young woman pressed her slender finger to his lips. "Fourth Prince, please don't say anymore.
I promised the Princess that I would take good care of you for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, the boy stopped talking and silently read his book. After a while, he got up irritably, scratched
his head, and said, "I really can't understand these parts. I might as well take them with me on the way. I don't think anyone will notice that I'm taking them out."
He then smiled sweetly at the young woman and said, "As long as you don't say anything, Aunt Su, that's fine."
The young woman covered her mouth and chuckled, letting the boy lead her by the hand as they walked outside.
Unexpectedly, they had only taken a few steps outside when two figures approached them—two tall figures wearing dragon robes
.
One of them was fair-skinned and beardless, with a flirtatious look in his eyes. He held a landscape paper fan and said loudly when he saw the boy:
"Fourth brother, why are you still in the palace? Don't miss tomorrow's expedition. Ah, Granny Su, it's been a long time.
How have you been? You look even more beautiful tonight."
Another man, with a slight mustache and a thin, long face that gave him a slightly harsh look, said in a strong voice, "Third brother, don't be
rude. Fourth brother, you should return to the manor as soon as possible and not delay tomorrow's expedition. Hmm? Fourth brother, what are you holding in your hand?"
The young man and woman recognized the newcomers as none other than the eldest prince, Li Yuandu, and the third prince, Li Yuanji. He hurriedly bowed,
but forgot to hide the book he was holding. Before he could answer, the third prince snatched it away and handed it to Li
Yuanji. The eldest prince frowned and glanced at it. He saw five large characters written on the book: "A Study of Ancient Relics of the Divine Zhou Dynasty." After flipping through it, he
said in a gruff voice, "Fourth brother, you're about to go to war. You should read more military books. These strange tales are time-consuming
and mentally taxing, and not very useful. It's best to read less of them."
After saying that, he handed the book back to Li Yuanji and turned to leave. The young man hesitated
and was about to take the book from the third prince when Li Yuanji suddenly tightened his grip on it. He looked up at the third prince questioningly, only to see the third
prince smirk and say, "Fourth brother, shouldn't you thank your brothers?"
He then winked at him. The boy thought for a moment, then forced a smile, his face pale, and said, "Thank you, thank you, Big Brother, Third
Brother."
"Oh, that's right. You know, you can only take what your brother gives you; what your brother doesn't give you, you can't take."
"I can't take anything away. Granny Su, I'll ask you for a few flower and bird paintings another day. My fans are missing those, and also some beauties,
haha."
She said, waving her hand as she walked away. The young woman glared resentfully at the departing figures, then placed her hand on the young man's
shoulder and whispered, "Your Highness..."
The young man raised one hand and grasped the young woman's, replying, "It's alright. Aunt Su, let's go."
Under the moonlight, the two walked away along the palace path. The gradually dimming moonlight illuminated
the words on the book in the young man's hand: The obtained text numbered over a million words, but the shapes were strange and undecipherable. Therefore, a partial copy of the complete text was made
...
The subsequent text was indeed strangely shaped, but if certain people saw it, they would surely discover that this text was modern
English, its general meaning as follows:
Ability Classification:
1. Enhancement Type: Evolutionary, Transformation, Specialized Combat Type
2. Mutation Type: Mutant, Comprehensive Type
3. Conjuration Type: Innate, Acquired, Passive Type
Ability Upgrade: Ability users can upgrade their abilities by killing other ability users or training themselves
. The difficulty of upgrading depends on the individual's ability. Each upgrade strengthens the ability user, but
the ability user's level does not represent their strength. For example, a level 1 Enhancement type ability user may defeat a
level 3 Conjuration type ability user. Ability user combat depends not only on their level but also on
the utilization of the external environment and the application of their own physical attributes.
Ability Explanation:
1. Enhancement Type: Primarily focuses on strengthening the ability user's body. The ability user's physical attributes
are greatly enhanced, but their essence remains human. They can reproduce with normal people, but only a very small percentage of their offspring
will be ability users.
① Evolutionary Type: A branch of the Enhancement type ability user, and also the most common branch of the Enhancement type
. The user's strength, speed, resilience, and mental fortitude are initially enhanced to some extent, and
can be further improved through ability upgrades or corresponding training. The weakness
is its mediocre nature; the advantage is a significant initial advantage, ease of concealing the user's identity, and generally high growth potential.
② Transformation Type: A branch of enhancement-type abilities, and also the most unique branch within the enhancement system.
The user can accumulate [transformation energy] through specific methods to transform into another individual state.
The transformed individual and the original body are treated as two different life forms; that is, at the moment of transformation, the original body
is frozen in an unknown area, and the state of the original body cannot affect the transformed body's state. However, if
the transformed body is severely injured, it will be forcibly transformed back into the original body.
When not transforming, shapeshifters appear no different from ordinary people, except that their identities cannot be verified by special abilities.
After transforming, their appearance changes drastically, their physical attributes are greatly enhanced, and they may gain a
materialization ability. However,
all special abilities will temporarily disappear after the [Transformation Energy] is depleted, the transformed body is severely injured, or the user actively deactivates the transformation. Furthermore, if the transformation is actively deactivated, [Transformation Energy
] will remain, but if the injury is severe, no energy will remain. Each injury to the transformed body rapidly
depletes Transformation Energy for repair.
The advantages of this ability are its extreme concealment, making it difficult to detect the user's identity, and the generally formidable strength of the transformed body.
The disadvantages are the limitation of [Transformation Energy] and generally lower growth potential evaluation. Additionally, there is
a [Transformation Time] during the transformation process, during which the user is unprotected and vulnerable to attack.
③ Specialized Combat Type: A branch of Enhancement-type Ability Users. This type of ability specifically
strengthens a particular strength of the user, even granting it special attributes,
enhancing it in a direction advantageous for destruction and combat. The user's body is no different from an ordinary person, but all physical attributes are improved, especially in
the area related to that particular strength.
The advantage is that it is easy to conceal one's identity and has great destructive power. The disadvantage is that the ability improvement is singular and the growth potential
is relatively low. Generally, the ability can only be upgraded through the user's own training and comprehension.
2. Mutation Type: Primarily focuses on strengthening the user's body. Unlike the Enhancement type,
the improvement in physical attributes of Mutation-type Ability Users varies from person to person and is not universal. Depending on individual differences,
the bodies of Mutation-type Ability Users undergo irreversible changes, showing significant differences from ordinary people and possessing
special abilities related to this form. Users of this type are fundamentally no longer human and, except for specific ability requirements,
cannot reproduce with normal people.
① Mutant Type: A branch of mutant ability users, and also the most common type,
accounting for the vast majority of mutant ability users. Users of this type undergo
irreversible physical changes and possess a special ability related to that change. This ability is mostly based on the user
and is used to influence others, but cannot be created out of thin air. Its advantages are practicality,
wide applicability, and generally high growth potential. Its disadvantages are that it's easy to identify the user and its overly mild nature
makes it vulnerable to being targeted.
② Comprehensive Type: A branch of mutant ability users, and the most unique of all abilities. This
ability generally doesn't initially appear in the user but is acquired through changes in the user's abilities during later upgrades
. This type of ability allows the user to possess multiple characteristics, resembling
a superposition of various types of abilities. It's categorized as a mutation-type ability rather than a new category because
users of this type exhibit the inability to reproduce with normal humans. This phenomenon currently only occurs in mutation-type ability
users, hence this classification. The advantage is its versatility and multiple characteristics, making it difficult to distinguish. The disadvantage
is its extremely low growth potential and extremely stringent upgrade conditions.
3. Conjuration Type: Primarily targets the enhancement of the user's spirit. It typically allows the user to manipulate
elements, use telekinesis, and create things from nothing. The ability leans towards creating something from nothing, materializing the user's mental
phenomena. The user's physical attributes will be slightly improved; their essence remains human, allowing them to interact with others.
Normal humans reproduce, but only a certain probability of their offspring being gifted with superpowers. The advantages of these superpowers are their practicality,
wide range of applications, and generally high growth potential. There are multiple ways to upgrade their abilities. The disadvantage is that the user's physical body is relatively weak.
These superpowered individuals are fundamentally still human, therefore they can reproduce with normal humans. Except for passive
superpowered individuals, the offspring of the other two types of superpowered individuals have a chance of producing a superpowered individual.
① Innate Type: A branch of materialization abilities, the ability type tends towards elemental manipulation and mental manipulation.
The ability generally has strong destructive power but is difficult to upgrade, usually only through killing other superpowered individuals.
The advantage is its practicality and strength, the disadvantage is the difficulty in upgrading.
② Acquired Type: A branch of materialization abilities, the ability tends towards creating things from nothing and manipulating energy. The ability
generally leans towards creation and manipulation, with limited destructive power, but it can be upgraded through continuous training and killing other
superpowered individuals, with low upgrade difficulty. The advantage is rapid upgrade, the disadvantage is insufficient destructive power in the early stages, and the user's physical body
is relatively weak, making self-defense difficult.
③ Passive Type: A branch of Conjuration abilities, and a very special one at that.
While the other two types of Conjuration abilities require the user to actively activate them, this type does not
. It exists directly within the user's life force, is constantly active, has an
unlimited range, and its intensity remains constant. The user cannot end the ability; it only
terminates when the user dies. Its advantages are simplicity and convenience, unaffected by the user's condition. Its disadvantages are the inability
to control it independently and low potential for growth.
