In the Marginal Star of the Mingguang Star System, Lin Yao was locked in a fierce battle against the celestial beasts of the starry sky, but her powers and stamina were completely depleted. As she gazed at the seemingly endless swarm of celestial beasts and the devastated battlefield, all that remained in her heart was numbness.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, she managed to force a bitter smile before mustering the last ounce of her strength to charge toward the most densely packed area of the star beasts. With a thunderous explosion, her self-detonation cleared a section of the dense beast horde, but it was quickly filled again by an unending tide of celestial creatures.
At that very moment, in the Shadowy Canyon of the Yunmeng Star System, a girl who had been battered and on the brink of death suddenly opened her eyes. She stared blankly at the sky for a while before realizing that she was still alive. Instinctively, she rolled over and sat up, warily surveying her surroundings. To her relief, it seemed like she was in a safe place.
Before she could gather her thoughts, a transparent screen appeared before her, displaying: "Special Sign Point Detected [Original Host Lin Yao's Memories]. Would you like to spend sign points to sign?" As the screen lit up, a mechanical voice echoed simultaneously. Right where she had just risen from, leaving a pool of blood, a large purple diamond cursor also illuminated.
She froze for a moment and instinctively took a few steps back. She was Lin Yao from the Marginal Star of the Mingguang Star System; she remembered dying on the battlefield. How could she possibly wake up in this unfamiliar place? Moreover, what were these screens, voice prompts, and cursors?
Lin Yao's mind, which felt rusty from battle, began to turn rapidly. She recalled her self-detonation and now found herself in an unknown location with all her limbs intact. Analyzing the information on the screen about [Original Host Lin Yao's Memories], it seemed she had experienced something unscientific—like reincarnation?
Before she could fully process her thoughts, the text on the screen rapidly changed, accompanied by the mechanical voice: "Special Sign Point Detected [Original Host Lin Yao's Memories]. Would you like to spend sign points to sign? Countdown for special sign point disappearance..."
The countdown of the prompt made Lin Yao's heart race with anxiety. With no time for careful analysis and following her instincts, she hurriedly exclaimed: "Sign! Sign! How do I sign?"
Before she could finish speaking, the text and voice prompt on the screen instantly transformed: "Sign Successful. Acquired [Original Host Lin Yao's Memories] and Ability Fruit."
The moment the contract was successfully signed, Lin Yao felt a shift in her surroundings, as if she had been immersed in an image, and then the memories of the original Lin Yao began to play out before her.
The original Lin Yao hailed from the Lin family of the Liu family in the capital of Yunmeng Star, a prominent figure in the interstellar realm. Her parents were both exceptional individuals: one was a young master with an eighth-level physical prowess, possessing both capability and intelligence; the other was a high-level pharmacist with wood-based abilities. Together, they established a top-tier pharmaceutical company.
With such a mother, the original Lin Yao had been spoiled and cherished since childhood, living as if in a honey pot. Unfortunately, when she turned ten, her mother suffered a tragic accident and vanished into the vastness of space.
Without her mother's protection, Lin Yao's life took a drastic turn for the worse. Not only was her mother's company taken over by the family under the guise of guardianship, but even the villa where she had lived since childhood was seized by her uncle's family in the name of caring for her. They forced her, the original young mistress, into a cold and remote storage room.
From that moment on, her life became a struggle. Under the relentless torment of her uncle, aunt, and cousin, Lin Yao was reduced to a pitiful state. When she cried out to her family and grandmother about the bullying from her aunt and cousin, she was instead painted as an ungrateful ingrate—a little girl with a bad temper who isolated herself.
Under the verbal oppression from her uncle's family, the once lively and cheerful Lin Yao gradually became timid, weak, and reclusive, firmly under their control. Fortunately for her, luck was still on her side; during the final stages of elementary school, she awakened her wood-based abilities. With this newfound power, she saw a glimmer of hope to escape her uncle's family's grasp.
By passing the practical examination at elementary school, she could attend a special intermediate school for free and gain autonomy over her own life. However, passing this practical exam was no simple feat. She needed to participate in a half-month survival test on a resource planet and complete practical tasks.
For someone like Lin Yao, who had spent all her time in safe star cities without ever encountering exotic beasts, this posed an extremely high level of danger—one misstep could cost her life. Yet despite being oppressed since she was ten years old, Lin Yao displayed remarkable courage by insisting on participating in this perilous test after discovering her abilities.
Regrettably, her bravery did not free her from shackles; instead, her cousin forcibly included her in their examination team. When they encountered exotic beasts during their test, her cousin seized the opportunity to sabotage her, leading to Lin Yao being forced into a treacherous dark canyon where she met her demise.
After witnessing the original owner's memories, Lin Yao began to understand what had transpired. It seemed that at the moment of self-destruction, the original owner had just perished; for some reason, her consciousness had entered the body of original Lin Yao, allowing her to take over and continue living.
It was truly unfortunate that the original owner had died; if only she had completed this exam, she would have been able to break free from her uncle's family's control.
Unfortunately, she still underestimated the darkness of human nature. With so many shares and properties in her possession, how could her uncle's family possibly allow her to break free from their control?
After reflecting for a while on the plight of the original owner, Lin Yao finally had time to study the transparent display screen before her. This kind of transparent display could be created with interstellar technology. For instance, the exam contact bracelet she wore on her wrist could also project a display screen.
However, the screen in front of her clearly did not rely on any equipment; it floated in mid-air, appearing right before her eyes and even moving according to her gaze. This was evidently not something that could be produced by current interstellar technology.
Suddenly, she recalled a mechanical prompt that echoed in her mind just as she was about to wake up: "The binding system has detected host Lin Yao. Would you like to bind? No response from the host; binding countdown initiated... Binding successful, reward: binding points!"
If she wasn't dreaming, then she had indeed bound herself to a so-called binding system. This clearly advanced technology piqued Lin Yao's interest, and she began to investigate the transparent display screen before her.
The transparent display was part of the binding system, and all operations were conducted through mental commands. The screen and prompt sounds could be turned on or off at will.
