I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

Tianyun Market, Luoyun Mountain.

When Su Yu returned to the secret chamber of Zufeng without making a sound, he had less than a month left before his death.

He didn't disturb anyone; he simply rang the ancient bronze bell outside the secret chamber.

The deep, resonant tolling of the bell echoed deep within the inner palace.

In less than half an hour.

The current patriarch of the Qianlong Su family, along with more than a dozen powerful elders at the late Foundation Establishment stage, all gathered outside the secret chamber of the ancestral peak.

Because of the numerous generations of descendants, Su Yu himself couldn't remember which generation the current head of the Su family was.

"Squeak—"

The heavy, broken dragon stone slowly rose up.

With their heads bowed, the group respectfully entered the secret chamber.

However, when they looked up and saw Su Yu sitting on the futon.

Everyone trembled violently, their faces turning deathly pale instantly.

The ancestor who, in their memories, forever retained the appearance of a middle-aged man, with a vitality as deep as an abyss.

At this moment, he had transformed into an old man with a deathly pallor.

The pressure emanating from Su Yu's Golden Core had been completely suppressed, and not even a trace of spiritual energy was leaking out.

"Ancestor... what is this...?"

The current head of the family's knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground, his voice trembling with extreme fear and grief.

He is not a fool.

This weather is clearly a sign of the five signs of decay in the heavens and man, indicating that his time is near.

The pillar that anchors the Su family is about to collapse!

"Why are you crying?"

Su Yu sat on the futon, his tone extremely calm, without a trace of the desolation of a dying man.

"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the cycle of the Great Dao, and I am no exception."

Su Yu's gaze swept over the younger generation kneeling on the ground.

"I have summoned you here today with only one final decree."

Although Su Yu's voice was weak, in the deathly silent chamber, every word was like a hammer blow.

"After I left, they kept the news under wraps."

"Keep the news of someone's death a secret."

"The Su family, the hidden dragon, will continue to lie low and firmly guard their foundation in Tianyun Market."

"You are not allowed to provoke any external forces."

"Put all your energy into procreation and teaching the next generation."

This is Su Yu's philosophy of life.

Even without the threat of Golden Core cultivators, the Su family remains a behemoth with dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But once a sign of weakness and fatigue is revealed, it will inevitably attract probing from those around them.

As long as they don't actively expand, they can hold onto their defensive formations and existing interests.

With the prestige accumulated over the past eight hundred years, the Su family can live peacefully for several more centuries.

"Grandson... will obey the Grandfather's decree!"

Led by the patriarch, more than a dozen elders prostrated themselves on the ground, tears falling onto the cold stone slabs.

"Go out."

Su Yu waved his hand and closed his eyes.

"Let me walk away quietly, alone."

No one dared to disobey, so they could only suppress their grief and leave the secret chamber with utmost respect.

With a deafening roar, the heavy dragon-slaying stone fell once more.

This secret chamber was transformed into a secluded tomb.

The sealed room was plunged into absolute darkness and deathly silence.

Su Yu sat alone on the futon.

He felt the golden core within his body gradually stop circulating, and the true essence in his meridians dissipate bit by bit.

He felt no fear.

On the contrary, he had no regrets about living five hundred years less; in fact, he felt a sense of relief.

Cultivating immortality is inherently a high-stakes gamble against fate.

Since he had decided to force his way to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm back then, he was willing to pay the price regardless of victory or defeat.

Moreover, he has already lived a wonderful and fulfilling life in the past nine hundred years.

In my mind, the years of my third life flashed by like a revolving lantern.

Born with a terrifying aptitude of 301, he detonated the Spirit Testing Pearl in a shocking way.

He traveled to the Cangxuan Sect to compete with a group of peerless geniuses.

Then, abandoning the ethereal Heavenly Dao Foundation Building, one uses the Earth's vein energy to complete the Earthly Dao Foundation Building.

And in the desolate secret realm, he decisively abandoned the core inheritance and quietly made a fortune.

For the last thirty years, he compressed his true essence day after day, and painstakingly shaped it into an eighth-grade golden pill.

Later, he returned to his family and became a powerful figure on the border of Yue Kingdom, turning Tianyun Market into the backyard of the Su family of the Hidden Dragons.

In his life, although he did not stir up the winds and clouds of the Southern Wilderness like those chosen ones of destiny, he also failed to reach the threshold of the Nascent Soul Path.

But from the perspective of a family leader.

He has done it perfectly.

Born at the peak, wielding power behind the scenes, decisive and ruthless.

On the futon, Su Yu closed his eyes, his expression serene, his aura completely dissipating into the world.

……

a few days later.

Tianyun Market, Luoyun Mountain.

Although Su Yu issued an edict to keep the death a secret.

However, within the innermost circle of the family, the fact that the natal soul lamp hanging at the highest point of the ancestral hall had gone out could not be concealed.

A somber death knell tolled nine times in the deepest recesses of the Su family mansion, its sound extremely oppressive.

There were no white banners, no city draped in mourning.

All the core elders and direct descendants could only kneel in their own courtyards, facing the direction of the ancestral peak, covering their mouths tightly, and weeping bitterly as the entire clan.

They knew that the legendary Golden Core Ancestor who had protected the family for eight hundred years and was regarded as a god by all the clansmen.

And so it came to an end.

The Su family of Qianlong has entered a new era without Golden Core cultivators to oversee it.

Amidst this deafening lamentation.

dark.

Absolute silence and nothingness.

Su Yu's consciousness sank into this familiar deep sea of ​​the soul with remarkable calm.

"Ding!"

The emotionless, mechanical voice echoed precisely in the void.

[Detection indicates the host has passed away peacefully in their third incarnation; their true spirit has been received.]

[Start calculating the third incarnation—]

[Host's identity: Inner Sect Elder of Cangxuan Sect, First Generation Golden Core Ancestor of the Su Family of Hidden Dragons.]

[In your third life, you were born with three hundred points of destiny-defying power, possessing a third-grade superior spiritual root, and joined a major Nascent Soul sect in the Southern Wilderness.]

Faced with the fierce competition among peerless geniuses from your own sect and the unparalleled inheritance of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, you calmly recognized your own shortcomings in comprehension, decisively abandoned the core opportunity, and quietly amassed wealth on the periphery.

[You did not seek the Heavenly Dao, but only followed the most pragmatic path of Foundation Building, spending thirty years forcibly compressing liquid true essence, and with great perseverance, you forcibly shaped an eighth-grade golden core.]

[You returned to your family and took over Tianyun Market with overwhelming force, laying the foundation for the Su family's prosperous future for hundreds of years.]

[You abandoned the futile pursuit of the mid-stage Golden Core realm, and in your later years rationally laid out your foundation, distributing top-tier resources in scattered locations throughout the Southern Wilderness.]

[Final Rating: Excellent (Green) - Nine Stars!]

(The rating levels, from lowest to highest, are: white, green, blue, purple, gold, red, and rainbow.)

[Reward: 900 Fate Points!]

The cold, mechanical sound slowly faded into nothingness.

Su Yu, in his soul form, looked at the floating settlement panel in front of him, filled with emotion.

"When my second life ended, I hadn't even reached the threshold of Foundation Establishment, yet I still received a three-star rating for excellent green."

"Now in this third life, I have successfully created a golden core, become a local ancestor, and even lived for nine hundred years."

"I thought I could reach the blue level rating, but I only got nine stars in the green category."

Su Yu shook his head slightly.

It seems that the system's evaluation criteria go beyond just the level of skill.

It values ​​more the traces left by the true spirit in this world, and the breaking free from the shackles of fate.

In the eyes of the Nascent Soul Grand Sect Cangxuan Sect, he was merely a reserve of combat power.

In the grand scheme of the cultivation world in the Southern Wilderness, he even took the initiative to withdraw from the competition, choosing to live in seclusion and become a dog guarding the status quo.

Such a trajectory is stable and leads to longevity, but it certainly lacks the wow factor of defying fate.

Thinking about it this way, it's indeed reasonable to get a green nine-star rating.

Su Yu stopped worrying about the evaluation and focused her attention on more important matters.

Nine hundred points of reverse fate.

With all the wealth accumulated in his previous lives gone, this is all he has now.

Immediately afterwards, the fourth panel slowly formed in the dim light.

[The host's initial innate panel for the fourth incarnation has been generated. Please check it and invest your points accordingly.]

With a notification sound, a faintly glowing attribute panel appeared in front of Su Yu.

[Fourth Incarnation - Innate Panel]

[Fortune]: 10 (+)

[Qualification]: 51 (+)

Family background: 1 (+)

[Comprehension]: 999 (+)

[State of mind]: 30

[Note: For unknown reasons, this reincarnated being possesses a special aptitude for comprehension. If all points are allocated to comprehension, the effect will be multiplied tenfold.]

P.S.: I originally planned to write about all the good fortune in the fourth life, but I changed the order first. I'll add all the good fortune in the fifth life. Please give me a five-star review, please urge me to update, please give me gifts, QAQ...
