Absurd! Reincarnated as a newborn into a demon-infested world, and the counterattack system shows up 30 years early?!

【At age 30, you've endured countless hardships, achieved nothing, and live in utter loneliness. Reward: "Late Bloomer" (Innate Trait). Effect: The older your bones, the faster your cultivation.】

【Counterattack Mission: Defeat Grade-6 Return-to-Origin cultivator Chen Yuan within one year. Reward: Swordsmanship – Beginner Level】

One-year-old Chen Yi stared at the system panel, then looked at his chubby little arms and legs, and fell into deep thought.

“…What the hell?!”

“This trash system definitely showed up too early!”

“I’m only one year old! What’s the use of a ‘Late Bloomer’ trait now?”

“And I’m supposed to fight Chen Yuan, a Return-to-Origin expert?!”

…

Years later, a war report came from the frontlines:

“Chen Yi — one of the Ten Great Martial Geniuses of the Tianyuan Continent, Champion Marquis of the Wei Dynasty, the Passionate Young Master, Sword Saint — has slain 100,000 demons at the battlefield of Mount Taizhou. Glory to humanity!”

But Chen Yi, standing amidst rivers of blood, just shook his head:

“I’ve been fighting fate since I was one year old. I’ve faced death countless times to reach this level of power. If you think you can do the same, be my guest.”

Those life-and-death experiences? Absolutely terrifying.

A one-year-old rival, a five-year-old childhood sweetheart, a ten-year-old senior brother, a teenage princess…

Who really understands my struggles?!
