In a far-flung corner of the world, separated from the Daxing Continent by more than a hundred million miles, lay the Vermilion Phoenix Continent. Within this vast land, there was a nation called the Azure Dragon Kingdom, where a city known as Yan City stood proudly. The city was under the rule of the Yan family, one of the most powerful and influential families within the region.
On this particular day, the Yan family welcomed a new member into their midst. The youngest elder's third son's second wife had given birth to a child. Given the size of the Yan family and their many connections, the birth of a new child wasn't seen as a significant event. However, for the mother and a certain young warrior assigned to guard the house, this moment held a special significance.
The young warrior had joined the Yan family nine months prior, using bribes and manipulation to secure the position of guarding the second mistress. When the news of the child's birth reached his ears, a rare smile spread across his face, and he let out a sigh of relief.
The following day, the father of the child, Yan Huan, visited his wife and their newborn. When the mother expressed her desire to name the child Kai, Yan Huan was puzzled by her choice.
She explained that she felt her child would grow up to be victorious, thus the name. While he understood her wishes, he couldn't help but shake his head. Every mother wanted their child to be the most successful, but the competitive nature of the Yan family meant that the road ahead would be filled with challenges. Nevertheless, he agreed to the name.
Han Cai had escaped the massive amount of karma he owed in his previous life in exchange for a system, the gift that was given to him by someone for a price.
This price, granted to him by an unknown benefactor, had made him responsible for half the karma of this whole world. There were more than trillions of people in this world, and the future Han Cai was supposed to be responsible for them as his benefactor owed these people and this world debt.
However, Han Cai was not one to easily accept responsibility. He had discovered a loophole and used his valuable subordinate, Yongnian, who now had a good understanding of the laws of death, to free himself from the debt he owed.
In his previous life, Han Cai had used the system without realizing the strings attached. The person who granted him the system intended for him to act as their proxy, assisting the world in exchange for a debt owed to them. However, Han Cai managed to escape this debt by ending his life, and his reincarnated self didn't owe any debt to that person.
This didn't mean he was free to use the system without paying a price. The system was, as it claimed, an equal exchange system.
Han Cai thought the equal exchange only applied within the system, but it turned out that every time he used the exchange system, he would owe an equal amount of karmic debt to the unknown benefactor, who had accumulated billions of years of karma owed to half the world.
This person was no longer in this world, but the grand Dao they practiced still existed. So every time Han Cai used the system, the grand Dao, which ruled the universe, would transfer an equal amount of karmic debt onto Han Cai's soul.
Han Cai realized this when he was about to turn a nascent soul. If Han Cai had become nascent, it would have been twice difficult and painful for him to get rid of the debt from his soul body.
The more Han Cai used the system, the more he would stand out as an anomaly to practitioners of grand daos, regardless of how well he hid.
In his previous life, Han Cai had used the system heavily, but not enough for the karmic debt to be deeply embedded in his soul.
Even though he did not plan to use the system much in this life, Han Cai made preparations to ensure that his future would be as smooth as possible.
Before his death, he had already used the system to determine where he should be reborn in order to receive the best cultivation body. One of the locations provided by the system was the son of the Yan family's third son's second mistress. And so, Han Cai was reborn into the Yan family.
Although Han Cai lost most of his cultivation during his rebirth, he managed to retain his spatial talent, frost talent, and skill techniques within his soul. He had paid a heavy price to acquire these abilities and had no intention of letting them go. So, he made the system etch these techniques onto his soul, making them permanently his personal innate techniques.
The first thing he did after being reborn was to check his status panel,

Seeing that he had lost all his cultivation, he sighed, but he also celebrated the fact that he had saved his four most important skills, three extra innate skills he had added at the last minute.
