White Divine Crane

This was an era where everyone could experience various worlds through simulations.
When everyone reached 16 years old, they would receive a Life Lantern, which would grant them two free simulations.
During the free simulations, they had to break through the limits of humans in order to attain a bright future in reality. 
Otherwise, they would lose their Life Lanterns and they would slowly be corrupted by a black fog until they eventually died at a young age. 
Lin Qiye, who transmigrated to this era, failed his first simulation.
During his second simulation, by chance, he acquired a permanent SSS-rank talent - the Deduction of Genesis.
Lin Qiye’s first life: [When you were two, you had a sudden illness, causing you to have a deformed head and low IQ. When you were 15, your parents passed away. When you were 18, you died of an incurable disease.]
Lin Qiye commanded, “The Deduction of Genesis, deduce for me a way to transcend this life.”
[Congratulations for defying the heavens and successfully changing your fate. You acquired S rank in your evaluation. Your rewards are…]
…
His second life: [When you were 15, the spiritual aura on Earth rejuvenated. You did not awaken any talent while your childhood best friend achieved outstanding attainments with her awakened talent. When you were 16, you were killed by a stranger.]
Lin Qiye summoned, “The Deduction of Genesis!”
[You carefully made plans before the spiritual aura rejuvenated. Because of this, you defied the heavens and successfully changed your fate. You acquired S rank in your evaluation. Your rewards are…]

Worldwide Simulation Era

However, the intense pain at this level had already made Lin Qiye's consciousness somewhat blurry.

The mind blades he was controlling started to tremble.

"Hang in there. Peel off two more layers like this, and I should be able to find it..."

Lin Qiye, now the size of a walnut, looked the same.

He gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain. His expression twisted. If he had a physical body, he would probably crush his teeth.

His soul was once again slowly cut apart at the eleventh layer.

Lin Qiye's eyes bulged. Every time he moved the mind blade, he would stop and rest in pain.

After a few hours, he finally removed the eleventh layer.

"Still nothing?" Lin Qiye's voice started to tremble.

The pain of his soul falling apart was far more intense than he had imagined, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"I've already come this far. How can I give up?"
