Everyone Is Cultivating Supernatural Powers, Why Am I The Only One Cultivating Immortality?

Blue Star Human Alliance, Jiangdong Province, Jianghua City

August 17, 2079

Inside a residential apartment building in the Xiajiang District, the Jiang Li family of four were happily watching TV in the living room.

"It's exactly 8 o'clock in the evening Eastern Time. Jianghua News is here to report punctually."

"Tomorrow will be the annual national Supernatural Ability Assessment. Every youth over 16 years old will have a day that changes their destiny. As the spokesperson of the Jianghua Military District, General Fang, what are your thoughts on this?"

A middle-aged man in camouflage on the TV took the microphone and delivered an impassioned speech.

"Thank you for General Fang's speech. Here at Jianghua News, we also wish that more young people in Jianghua City can shine in tomorrow's assessment!"

"Now, on to the next news report. The western defense line of Nanshui City was suddenly attacked by a monster of general rank at 7 o'clock in the evening... Fortunately, it was stopped by a team of supernaturals that arrived in time, and the extent of the damage is currently being assessed."

......

"It's really getting more and more unstable."

The middle-aged man in his forties watching TV sighed and looked at the teenager beside him.

"Xiao Li, you're also participating in the supernatural ability assessment tomorrow, right?"

Jiang Li grinned and replied to his father, "It's a collective test for the whole grade tomorrow. If I can test for an A-level talent, our family will be prosperous!"

His sister's voice came from the other side of the sofa, "Brother, you're just dreaming. There are hardly any A-level talents in Jianghua City in a year."

"In recent years, the probability of awakening supernatural abilities has increased slightly, but it's still less than one in four. It's okay to be an ordinary person without abilities. Don't feel too much pressure."

Jiang Li's mother ruffled his hair gently, her voice soothing.

Seventy years ago, the outbreak of spiritual energy led to the appearance of countless fierce monsters around the world, which humans were unable to resist, resulting in the loss of a large part of Blue Star's territory in a short period of time.

The remaining countries abandoned their past prejudices and established a unified human alliance, which slowed down the monsters' attacks.

Later, supernaturals appeared among humans, possessing powerful abilities beyond ordinary humans.

Under their leadership, humans finally managed to resist the onslaught of the monsters completely!

If one could awaken their talent at the age of 16, they could become a powerful supernatural.

On the contrary, if the awakening failed, there would be no chance for the rest of their lives.

His parents were getting older and were not suitable for the dangerous work of fighting monsters.

When he became a supernatural, he could take over and go out to kill monsters, allowing his parents to safely enjoy their later years at home.

"Ding dong!"

Just as Jiang Li was envisioning the future, the doorbell at home suddenly rang.

"It should be Aunt Zhang from next door bringing food again. I'll go and open the door."

His sister, Jiang Linger, jumped off the sofa and ran to the door excitedly.

"Click"

The door slowly opened.

Standing outside were two tall men in black suits that Jiang Linger had never seen before.

"Huh? Excuse me..."

Before Jiang Linger could finish her sentence, one of the men swiftly struck her with a hand chop.

"Thud!"

Jiang Linger was struck hard at the back of her neck and fell straight to the ground.

The couple in the living room, Jiang Guofeng and his wife, immediately noticed the situation and stood up from the sofa, assuming a defensive posture.

"Who are you!"

Jiang Guofeng's face was as calm as water, his gaze constantly shifting between the two big men and his daughter on the ground.

Meng Huili stood in front of Jiang Li, protecting her son.

"Hmph." One of the big men snorted coldly, a terrifying aura sweeping over.

"Changing your name and hiding like a dog with a lost family for so many years, even our Chang family has forgotten about you?"

"If you don't want anything to happen to your children, I advise you to come with us obediently!"

"!!!"

Hearing the words "Chang family," Jiang Guofeng and Meng Huili's faces suddenly changed drastically!

The long-buried past of nearly 20 years resurfaced in their minds.

Thinking of the terrifying power of the Chang family, Jiang Guofeng's resolute face revealed a bitter smile. He hadn't expected to be discovered after hiding for so many years.

Only two people came to arrest him. He could fight to the death like he did back then, but what about his son and daughter?

Could he protect them in battle? Did he really want them to wander around like he did?

At this moment, Jiang Guofeng seemed to age ten years in an instant, and his arm slowly dropped.

"We are willing to go with you. Please... please spare my children."

"Dad!"

Jiang Li became anxious. These two people who suddenly appeared not only attacked his sister, but also wanted to take his parents away.

"Xiao Li." Jiang Guofeng looked at his son, who still had a hint of innocence.

"This is the debt your father and mother owed when they were young. It must be repaid now. After your father and mother leave, take care of your sister for us."

"No, I don't want you to leave!"

Tears welled up in Jiang Li's eyes.

He had a feeling that if they left, he might never see his parents again.

"Li'er, don't come looking for us after we leave."

A hint of sadness flashed in Jiang Guofeng's eyes, ultimately unable to completely extinguish his son's hope.

"Unless one day you can become a demigod..."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and leave!" The two men in black showed impatience.

The little brat in front of them didn't even know if he had supernatural talent, and he talked about becoming a demigod?

If he really had the chance to come into contact with the Chang family, he would understand what true despair was then.

"Take care of your sister. She just fainted."

Before leaving, Meng Huili put her daughter Jiang Linger on the bed, then ruffled her son's hair, tears in her eyes, and was taken away.

Jiang Li stared blankly at their departing figures, the despair in his eyes turning into determination.

"Demigod." He clenched his fists fiercely.

"I must become a demigod!"

[Ding! Detected intense emotional fluctuations in the host.]

[Ding! The fluctuation wavelength matches the requirements of the pre-task.]

[Ding! The Immortal Ascension System has been activated, sending pre-task rewards. Host, please check it carefully!]

A mechanical female voice reached Jiang Li's mind. Before he could react, something fell into his hands.

Jiang Li looked closely and saw an ancient-looking book with quaint patterns.

"Immortal Ascension Manual."

What... what is this?

[Answering the host, the Immortal Ascension System is an auxiliary system to help the host become an unparalleled Immortal Emperor.]

[The host can obtain corresponding rewards by completing system tasks, including but not limited to martial arts, weapons, elixirs, and Secret Realms. With the assistance of the system, the host will step by step become an Immortal Emperor. Of course, if the host operates improperly, it may also lead to the host's death midway.]

Upon hearing this, a glint of coldness flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.

"I wonder if your system can make me a demigod!"

[Answering the host, according to the classification of levels, in the supernatural Body Refining system on Blue Star, the demigod level roughly corresponds to the Gold Core Realm in the Immortal Physique system. If the host's Foundation Building quality is high, the Foundation Building stage can easily surpass the demigod. Forgive me for being blunt: demigods are trash.]

"Demigods are trash..." Jiang Li pondered over these words continuously, and his eyes became increasingly bright.

The despair that had arisen when his parents were taken away was reignited into a flame of hope!
