Shen Bing woke up again, and luckily she was sitting on the bed, so she didn't fall to the floor.
After a moment, she thought for a while but still chose Immortal Cultivation.
Not for any special reason, but as a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom, she truly couldn't refuse "immortality."
She also believed that very few people in her previous timeline would be willing to refuse it.
Even if the other paths could reach similar heights in the later stages, she still preferred cultivation.
So, clicking on the holographic interface, she paused for a second, and then the interface changed.
Before, it had been a simple white interface.
Now clouds and eastern dragons appeared,
forming an Immortal Cultivation theme.
The name also changed to:
[Supreme Shop Auxiliary Cultivation System]
The words were written in gold.
Shen Bing had never seen the system's language before.
However, in her mind, it automatically translated into characters.
It should be something from another world,
so she didn't think too much about it.
Looking at the dazzling variety of items,
whether cultivation techniques or point enhancement functions, she truly felt overwhelmed.
But her points were zero.
Still, regardless of everything else, the thing that surprised her the most was her innate talent.
According to the information, innate talents were something that almost no one could erase or steal.
Yet she was genuinely shocked by hers.
[Steal and Evolve — Level ???]
She could kill beings, steal their destiny,
strengthen her luck and fate, and evolve her abilities.
Now she understood why she had always grown stronger so quickly when killing.
And why her "talent" kept evolving while others almost never did.
These "talents" were considered abilities by her innate talent…
(INCREDIBLE!!!)
That explained why sometimes she killed many zombies and barely evolved.
She would only feel a slight strengthening of her body.
But when she killed humans with high talents, or high-level monsters and zombies, she felt real progress, yet still never truly evolved.
Which meant the target's destiny and luck weren't high enough, or her own talent hadn't developed yet.
Well… maybe she had been "saturated."
Only when she killed that massive number of people did her talent finally evolve and allow her to advance.
Because she had truly killed the rest of the entire empire.
Whether weak survivors, talented individuals, monsters, or powerful zombies—
All of them had been frozen.
If she hadn't launched that desperate final attack…
She would have advanced both in talent and realm.
Shen Bing: "What a pity…"
After returning, her destiny and strength had reset along with her.
Shen Bing: "But not completely."
After all, the greatest advantage of returning was knowing the future.
She might not have photographic memory to remember movies or games.
But she clearly remembered every face she had killed.
Except those from the final attack, since she hadn't even seen their faces.
Shen Bing: "Especially you… Ye… Chen…"
She spat the name through clenched teeth.
She released that name between her teeth.
Shen Bing knows that he may have been used like a chess piece by the hand behind the scenes.
But regardless of that, she already had resentment toward him from before.
She is someone who cannot stand seeing someone she resents stay alive.
His escape that time to her was a shame.
And as expected he came back to cause trouble.
As for other characters who might possibly forgive this kind of person, she feels disgust.
She is not a saint and much less a compassionate person.
From the moment he had the idea of wanting her body by force, that rivalry had already been formed.
She is someone with a family literally only behind the emperor and Ye Chen is just a bastard.
Kidnapping him wouldn't make any waves and almost no one would care.
However for that she has to inform her parents.
Shen Bing: "parents…."
She really misses them but doesn't know how to face them after everything.
After all even knowing they are still the same,
the situation of killing them with her own hands still makes her nervous.
Even though she knows they wouldn't blame her for the situation.
But she quickly restrained that feeling.
She slowly opened the door, let out a sigh and left the room.
Walking through the house she found many familiar faces calling for her.
"Miss", "miss", "young miss".
She smiled and greeted each one of them calling each by name.
She couldn't save anyone she wanted.
Even though she didn't feel as much remorse and guilt as killing her parents.
It didn't mean that she didn't have feelings for them.
It's just that in the heat of the moment she was only worrying about her parents.
After everything ended and her blood cooled down she remembered everyone's face.
The happy moments when some of them carried her on their backs when she was younger.
The names of each one of them.
It became a habit to say each of their names in her own mind and remember the moments together.
Whether her parents, her "subjects", her friends and uncles(aunts).
Naturally she didn't forget any of them and was very happy to see everyone again.
The servants didn't understand why the usually quiet young miss was so excited.
However, her being well and happy was something to celebrate.
So they informed their masters (the parents) that she was particularly happy today.
This reached their office and the parents were happy that their girl was well.
It is called an office, however it is more like a bedroom.
Because of that, the two are almost always together.
Father and Mother Shen were happy and gave a salary bonus to the subordinates.
When the father and mother were thinking of an excuse to go visit their precious daughter.
They received again the message that she was heading toward the office.
Even though slowly, because she was surprisingly coming while talking with all the people she met.
So they just waited for a while.
And shortly after some time the office door was opened.
A girl with an average height of 1.50, slightly small, long black hair, black eyes, wearing golden-rimmed glasses.
She would be considered a beauty anywhere, however she doesn't care much about relationships.
Since her previous world where she saw most couples fighting or cheating she doesn't like it much.
She prefers pairing fake couples in anime or real life rather than experiencing the feeling of loss in love.
Of course she wasn't emotionally blocked, she just didn't care that much.
For her it is better to improve her strength, love can wait for later.
After she arrived, she carefully closed the door.
Then she turned around and made some signs she learned in the apocalypse.
It was a way of asking if we are being watched using sign gestures.
Surprisingly in the apocalypse almost everyone learned sign language.
Since there were more than just zombie species, there were mutations like her parents in the apocalypse.
And other species also had mutations among them, one sharpened hearing.
If you don't learn sign language you never know when you'll be inviting a horde to come after you.
After all that was just an example, it wasn't a unique case.
The parents were experienced people and understood sign language and all the languages of the five empires.
After all you can't always trust a translator for confidentiality.
But they were a little confused why someone "useless" like their daughter would have time to learn.
But even so the father still responded the same way to make his daughter happy.
He thought his daughter was happy because she learned sign language and would be giving a surprise to him and her mother.
So naturally as a father who loves his daughter he cooperated in the presentation.
(No, we are safe without any spying.)
Shen Bing felt a little relieved.
But even so she asked again.
In sign language.
(No electronic device like bugs or cameras? if there are any turn them off.)
The father was surprised by the fluency and answered.
(All clean, they're already turned off.)
Shen Bing completely relaxed.
Then looking at her father and mother again she felt her eyes become moist unconsciously.
Quickly holding back from crying she took a nearby chair and sat down.
Then she began to become serious and spoke words that made her parents shocked.
Shen Bing: "Dad, mom."
"I came from the future."
Father and mother: ???
Xiao Yu: "Daughter, are you okay or is this some new acting?"
Shen Bing's mother was feeling strange, but maybe it was some new acting?
Because she doubted instead of calling her crazy or just acting normally.
This happened because of her reaction earlier.
The teary eyes, the conversation with all the employees and the current happiness made her have two possibilities.
First she ended up playing some RPG and is immersed in them again.
Or the second well… it is something she doesn't want to believe.
Well Shen Bing's father, Shen Xuan, also had the same thoughts as his wife.
One can only say they are husband and wife with almost the same mind and even in mutation they stayed together.
After all neither of them has slow thinking, but it is only speculation from both.
Shen Bing knew they wouldn't believe her so she told everything.
Without any secret because the next plan would need the help of both of them.
And in this world there are no people more trustworthy for this than them.
Shen Bing: "Dad and mom first we will start about the fusion of timelines."
After that she told everything about the timelines converging into a new single line.
The parents became even more confused with this whole fantastical story, but they waited for her to finish speaking.
Then she talked about the reason, which was the world evolving.
Then she spoke in a serious tone.
"In two months the apocalypse will begin, those who can't adapt will turn into zombies."
"Humanoid creatures without consciousness, only brutality."
"Other races of the sea, land and air will also evolve."
"However until I returned, few developed mutations to become more intelligent."
"However none had rational thoughts."
The father and mother began to grow serious because the story was getting worse.
If it were a joke it would be well written and they would even be willing to spend some money to make a good adaptation.
But if it wasn't.
Remembering all of their daughter's behaviors they already had an answer to the situation.
Shen Xuan: "Daughter, daddy will ask one last time, is this real?"
"If it is, how did you come back, do you know?"
Shen Bing: "Yes, I will tell everything, just wait a moment."
Then she told everything from the explosions around the world to the 10 years fighting, the reason for the signs, the talents and levels that she herself created.
She told everything until the part where she was surrounded and forced to launch a suicidal attack.
When she talked about the experiences through the years, she didn't notice that under the table.
Shen Xuan and Xiao Yu's hands were already clenched with suppressed anger.
She almost died, but met the shop owner who was traveling through the river of time.
Because of a mistake from the artifact spirit she was chosen as the first holder of the new product.
The "system".
She also explained about everyone having died and ending up in this world.
She explained about the previous world and about not knowing how she recovered her memories.
Shen Bing: "The shop owner didn't tell me that and I forgot to ask."
Shen Xuan tried to recover the mood by laughing a little, at least on the surface he looked cheerful.
Shen Xuan: "Hahaha daughter, no matter which life you're in you really don't change, right."
Xiao Yu lightly slapped him.
Xiao Yu: "Stop teasing your daughter, we two didn't change either and always spoiled her."
Shen Xuan: "Cough cough, about that it's irrefutable."
Shen Bing looked at her parents' family "arguments" and once again felt happy for having returned.
She gave a beautiful smile.
