Chapter 1

In the pale hospital room, a strange medicinal smell permeated the air. Ye Zichuan lay on the hospital bed, his eyes lifeless and unfocused, his body wrapped in bandages like a mummy, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Ah, what a pity for this child. Out of a family of three, only he survived. I wonder what will become of him in the future?"

"Yes, natural disasters and human misfortunes are hard to avoid. With severe burns all over his body, he might never be able to go out again."

"His relatives and friends were still visiting him a few days ago, but they haven't been around lately."

"Yes, and he was even dumped by his girlfriend. With all these consecutive blows, I wonder if he can take it?"

The nurses outside the room looked at Ye Zichuan in the ward, shaking their heads and sighing. For someone to be in such a state, it was truly a sight too pitiful to behold.

However, Ye Zichuan's lifeless eyes were not due to this reason, but because a screen had appeared in his mind.

"Drip, the All-Heavenly Rings system activated, data loading..."

"Fire attribute reached 100%, the Flame Mountain world is now accessible."

"Drip, as a new user, you will receive a new user gift pack and one chance to draw. Would you like to open the gift pack and draw now?"

Staring at the screen in his mind, Ye Zichuan took a long time to come to his senses.

The screen was large, with a section in the corner glowing, burning with flames. On the other side, an image of a gift pack appeared, along with a huge wheel, which was likely the drawing interface.

"What... What is this? Could it be a system?" Ye Zichuan was utterly bewildered. Wasn't this the kind of system described in novels?

"No, this is the All-Heavenly Rings!" A cold electronic voice sounded in Ye Zichuan's mind.

Then, Ye Zichuan saw a ring appear on the screen, an ancient black one with golden patterns, looking noble and mysterious.

"Isn't this my ring?" Ye Zichuan's eyes widened. How could he not recognize this ring, which he had been wearing on his hand? It just had a few more golden patterns now.

After a long while, Ye Zichuan suppressed his doubts and asked, "What is this All-Heavenly Rings?"

"Connecting to all the worlds, the host can travel to any world at will and exchange items from any world. For example, the Flame Spirit Marrow from the Flame Mountain world has excellent healing effects for the host's burns." The unchanging electronic voice explained to Ye Zichuan.

Hearing this, Ye Zichuan fell into a state of wild joy, his eyes wide as he asked, "Can the Flame Spirit Marrow really cure my burns?"

"Yes!"

Hearing the affirmative response, Ye Zichuan burst into manic laughter. When he learned that he had burns covering over 60% of his body, he had already given up hope, especially with the coldness of his relatives and friends and his girlfriend's betrayal, which left him with no hope at all.

But now, the ring he had worn for five years had suddenly become so magical, bringing him a glimmer of hope for recovery.

"Hehehe, Lin Yueyao, you lowly dog-eyed woman, wait until I recover and blind your dog eyes. And Auntie and Second Auntie, wait until I achieve success, and you will regret it!"

The nurses outside the door watched Ye Zichuan suddenly burst into laughter, shaking their heads and sighing. It seemed this young man had been hit hard and had lost his mind.

After a long while, Ye Zichuan came to his senses from his wild joy and remembered he had a new user gift pack.

"Can I open the new user gift pack now?"

"Yes, would the host like to open it now?" The cold electronic voice sounded again.

"Sure." Ye Zichuan nodded, and then he saw the new user gift pack open, with items popping out one by one.

"Congratulations, host, you have received one Space Stone, one bottle of Flame Spirit Marrow, and one copy of 'The Wine God's Notebook.'" The electronic voice introduced the items in the gift pack to Ye Zichuan.

"What is a Space Stone?" Ye Zichuan's eyes widened; he had never heard of such a thing.

"A Space Stone can expand the space within the ring. As the host is a new user, you are rewarded one. In the future, you can only obtain it through other means." The electronic voice explained to Ye Zichuan.

"Are you saying that the Space Stone can expand the ring's space, like a storage ring?" Ye Zichuan's eyes widened. Weren't storage rings only found in fantasy novels?

"Yes!" The electronic voice gave an affirmative response, "Would the host like to use it now?"

"Use it!" Ye Zichuan nodded without hesitation.

Then he felt the space around him change, becoming tangible. It was only 5 meters long, wide, and high, not very large, but Ye Zichuan was thrilled. This was the space of a storage ring, truly amazing!

"Host, you have one chance to draw. Would you like to draw now?" The electronic voice sounded again, surprising Ye Zichuan. Right, he still had one chance to draw.

"Yes, draw!" Ye Zichuan nodded, and then he saw the huge wheel on the screen start to spin, the needle whirling for a while before stopping.

What frustrated Ye Zichuan was that the prizes on the wheel were all covered, so he had no idea what he had won, completely in the dark.

"Congratulations, host, you have received one Space Stone." The electronic voice seemed a bit speechless, not expecting Ye Zichuan to have such good luck and win another Space Stone.

"Is the Space Stone very precious?" Ye Zichuan noticed the tone of the electronic voice and asked curiously.

"Flame Spirit Marrow is level one, Space Stone is level eight!" The electronic voice's words made Ye Zichuan's eyes widen. The Flame Spirit Marrow could cure his burns but was only level one, while the Space Stone was level eight, the difference was obvious.

"Is it that precious?"

"Anything involving space is rare in all the worlds, such as Spatial Mithril and Spatial Fragments, the lowest being level eight." The electronic voice explained.

"How can I obtain Space Stones in the future?" Ye Zichuan asked. If the ring's space could expand infinitely, it would be a world of its own!

"The simplest way is to exchange with World Value, or trade items with other high-level planes to obtain Space Stones." The electronic voice said.

"What is World Value?" Ye Zichuan's eyes widened, utterly bewildered.

The screen changed, and a row of data appeared.

Host: Ye Zichuan

Age: 20

Height: 172cm

Weight: 56kg

World Value: 0

Exchange Card: 0

Space Size: 125m³

Backpack: One Space Stone, one bottle of Flame Spirit Marrow, one copy of 'The Wine God's Notebook'

"World Value is the universal exchange value in the All-Heavenly Rings' countless worlds, similar to currency. Exchange Cards allow you to complete exchanges with other worlds. A level one Exchange Card can only exchange level one items, while a level eight Exchange Card can exchange any item from level one to level eight." The electronic voice explained Ye Zichuan's doubts.

Seeing that he still had one Space Stone, Ye Zichuan immediately used it, and the volume instantly doubled to 250 cubic meters.

He then looked at the Flame Spirit Marrow in his backpack, his eyes burning with intense heat. This was the elixir that could determine whether he would recover.

"I want to use the Flame Spirit Marrow!"
