1: Starting with breaking off the engagement? Oh, no, I'm here to break off the engagement!

Qingyang City, Lin Family Deliberation Hall.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it seemed to solidify.

Lin Chen sat on a Grand Armchair, his face pale, his eyes still holding a trace of the confusion and shock from his recent Transmigration.

He was originally a model youth from Blue Star, but after waking up, he found himself as the Young Lord of the Lin Family, a top aristocratic Family in this Xuanhuan world.

Before he could even be happy, a torrent of complex memories flooded his mind, instantly plunging him into an ice-cold abyss.

This was a world where Yin flourished and Yang waned, with more women than men!

Here, powerful male Bloodlines were strategic resources more precious than divine gold or sacred medicine. A man's value was entirely determined by the quality of his Bloodline.

And he, Lin Chen, possessed the Chaos Dao Body, rarely seen in ten thousand years!

Theoretically, this was a supreme Bloodline capable of driving even immortal divine dynasties and ancient Holy Lands into a frenzy!

However, this Chaos Dao Body had a fatal flaw—it was like a bottomless black hole. Any Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi refined would be swallowed without a trace, making it impossible to condense spiritual power or open a Qi Sea within the body.

In other words, he had a divine mountain but couldn't mine a single Spirit Stone from it.

A man unable to Cultivate, no matter how strong his Bloodline, was merely a pitiful reproductive tool!

"Useless!"

"The face of our Lin Family has been completely shamed by this good-for-nothing with a treasure body!"

"Chaos Dao Body? I say it's a useless body, just waiting to die!"

The undisguised disdain and whispers of the surrounding Lin Family Elders were like steel needles piercing Lin Chen's eardrums.

In the center of the hall stood a group of uninvited guests with sharp auras.

At their head was a stunningly beautiful girl in an ice-blue dress, her face as cold as frost.

Her name was Bai Ruoxue, the proud daughter of the Bai Family, another prominent Family in Qingyang City. She possessed a Low Grade Heaven Rank Ice Phoenix Bloodline and was already a Foundation Establishment master at the tender age of sixteen. She was also Lin Chen's nominal fiancée.

At this moment, she held her fair neck high, like a proud Phoenix, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain for Lin Chen.

"Clan Chief Lin, Elders," an Elder from the Bai Family beside Bai Ruoxue stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Today, our Bai Family has come to set a new course for Lin Chen and Ruoxue's marriage."

"Given Lin Chen's current inability to Cultivate, his equal marriage contract with Ruoxue must naturally be voided. Our Bai Family's Qilin Maiden, the future Ice Snow Fairy, absolutely cannot marry a useless man who cannot Cultivate!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Lin Family Elders turned green and then white, yet no one refuted it.

After all, what they said was true.

Seeing this, the Bai Family Elder's lips curled into a smug smile as he continued, "However, our Bai Family is not entirely without old sentiments. The marriage contract can continue in a different way. Although Lin Chen's Chaos Dao Body cannot Cultivate, as a 'cauldron', his Bloodline Power has miraculous effects on our Ruoxue's Breakthrough of her Bottleneck."

"Therefore, our Bai Family is willing to give him an opportunity: Lin Chen will 'marry' into our Bai Family and serve Ruoxue! If he can bear a son or daughter with an excellent Bloodline, our Bai Family will certainly reward him handsomely!"

"Boom!"

These words, like a bolt from the blue, made Lin Chen's head buzz!

He understood instantly.

The Bai Family's plan was extremely shrewd and vicious. They weren't calling off the engagement one moment and then proposing marriage the next. Instead, Lin Chen, who was originally an equal fiancé, similar to an empress in this world where women outnumbered men, was now directly demoted to a servant, worse than a concubine, meant for servicing!

To be a reproductive tool whose Bloodline value was completely exploited!

This was practically trampling his dignity into the ground!

Lin Chen's hands instantly clenched, his nails digging deep into his palms.

He looked up at his father, Lin Zhan, the Lin Clan Chief, who was seated at the head.

Lin Zhan's face was ashen, his aura fluctuating, clearly struggling internally.

Meanwhile, several powerful Elders beside him were already exchanging glances, clearly tempted. Sacrificing a useless Young Lord who couldn't Cultivate in exchange for peace with the Bai Family, and even gaining some benefits—this deal seemed... very cost-effective!

Humiliation! Fury! Despair!

All sorts of emotions surged through his heart, almost suffocating Lin Chen!

Just at this critical moment, a voice, like a heavenly melody, exploded in his mind!

"Bloodline Legacy under immense threat, activation conditions met!"

"many sons, many blessings officially activated!"

"This world is the Heavenly Evolution Continent, where Yin and Yang are imbalanced, and women outnumber men. Powerful male Bloodlines are the only hope for the continuation of civilization."

"Talent: Bloodline Furnace activated!"

Bloodline Furnace: Unable to Cultivate directly, but by combining with the opposite sex and bearing children, the host can directly receive rewards such as cultivation, Cultivation Techniques, and Divine Abilities! The more children, the stronger the Bloodline, and the more abundant the rewards the host receives! The cultivation achievements of the children will be proportionally returned to the host!

In an instant, Lin Chen's breathing stopped!

This... this was simply a Golden Finger tailor-made for him!

Unable to Cultivate? No problem! As long as he married and had children, he could become stronger!

And he would directly gain cultivation!

A Azure-colored virtual panel instantly appeared before his eyes, visible only to him.

[Scannning for targetable/marriageable individuals...]

1. Name: Bai Ruoxue

Bloodline: Ice Phoenix Bloodline (Low Grade Heaven Rank)

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage, Third Level

Affection: -50 (Extreme Dislike)

Predicted Marriage Reward: Upon bearing the first child, the host can directly Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, receive the Divine Ability [Ice Seal for a Thousand Miles], and the child's talent will be at least Heaven Rank!

2. Name: Lin Xiaoya (Personal Maid)

Bloodline: Moon Spirit Body (Medium Grade Profound Rank, evolvable)

Cultivation: Qi Refining Stage, Fifth Level

Affection: 95 (Utterly Devoted)

Predicted Marriage Reward: Upon bearing the first child, the host can directly Breakthrough to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, receive the pupil technique [Moonlight Divine Pupils], and the child's talent will be at least Profound Rank!

...

Looking at the perfectly clear path to becoming stronger on the panel, all of Lin Chen's humiliation and anger were instantly replaced by an unprecedented ecstasy and heroic ambition!

So, this was the correct way to open this world!

"Lin Chen, are you... willing to... call off the engagement for the sake of the Family, and marry into the Bai Family?" An Elder finally couldn't help but speak, his tone condescending.

However, his words were cut short by Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, who had been silent, slowly stood up from his seat.

He brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes, then raised his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on the face of the high and mighty proud daughter of heaven—Bai Ruoxue.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Lin Chen's lips curved into a smile that no one could understand, filled with playfulness and... a hint of pity.

He spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it clearly resonated throughout the entire hall.

"Calling off the engagement?"

"Fine."

A trace of expected disdain flashed in Bai Ruoxue's eyes.

The Lin Family Elders also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this good-for-nothing had finally learned to be sensible.

However, Lin Chen's next words instantly silenced the entire hall!

He extended a finger, wagging it, his tone indifferent yet arrogant:

"But you've got it wrong. It's not your Bai Family calling off my engagement."

"It is I, Lin Chen, who is divorcing you today!"

"A mere Ice Phoenix Bloodline is not worthy of entering my Lin Family's gates to bear children for me, Lin Chen!"
