Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 142 Under One Person, the Martial Marquis's Faction

[Recipient: Guan Yi]

[Secret Realm to be Conquered: Death]

[Helping the Secret Realm: Under One Person]

[Project Vision: Through targeted assistance within secret realms, fundamentally elevate the recipient's soul, helping them complete their conquest of the Grim Reaper.]

[Wealth: 0]

[Fate Value: 0 (Note: A character's fate influences the fate of the secret realm. When the person being helped performs an event that affects the future of the secret realm, they will receive a fate value reward, which can be used to assist in the secret realm.)]

The specific support measures are as follows:

[I. Infrastructure: Join a prestigious sect within the "Under One Person" system, master the cultivation techniques for life and destiny, and complete the cultivation within five years. The first five years are free; from the second five years onwards, the fee increases annually.]

[II. Visiting Prestigious Clans: As a successor of a sect, visit and pay homage to other prestigious sects, and exchange ideas with them. (This can be done after completing the three phases of basic construction. The first visit is free; subsequent visits will require an increasing amount of wealth and life points.)]

【III. Seeking Extraordinary Skills: This can be done after visiting a prestigious sect ten times. It consumes a large amount of life points to explore the origins of the eight extraordinary skills and maximize one's life cultivation.】

[IV. Ascension: This can be performed after completing the exploration of extraordinary skills and reaching the pinnacle of both physical and spiritual cultivation. It consumes a massive amount of life points, enters a state of enlightenment, and completes ascension.]

[The projects of visiting prestigious families, exploring extraordinary skills, and achieving ascension to immortality are not currently feasible.]

[Infrastructure construction is currently underway, initiating the first five-year phase of infrastructure development.]

"He's actually second only to one person?"

Standing alone on a street in Karakura Town, the world of Bleach, Guan Yi mentally unfolded a targeted assistance plan with newly imprinted content.

To conquer the Mysterious Realm of Death, the planner matched him with someone from Under One Piece. Having seen the example of Kengan training helping him conquer the One Piece Mysterious Realm, Guan Yi was able to quickly accept this.

He knew, of course, that the combat power level of the One Man World was far from that of the Grim Reaper, but given the example of the Kengan World, Guan Yi dared not underestimate the plan.

Moreover, Under One Person emphasizes the cultivation of life and spirit, and the spirit in this context refers to the soul and spirit, which is a good match for the world of Death God.

The plan still consists of roughly the same four phases, except that the infrastructure construction phase is no longer one year, but five years.

That's thoughtful. Cultivating internal strength requires accumulation over time. Under One Person is known as an old-fashioned hot-blooded anime. Young people can only use their cunning, but when it comes to fighting, they still have to look to the seniors.

"Go and have a look first."

Activate the first phase of infrastructure construction!

Infrastructure construction projects are underway.

Please select a faction to join:

1. Tang Clan

2. Wuhou School
3. Longhu Mountain

Tang Clan, Hidden Weapons, Poison Palace, Pill Devouring.

It's very strong, but we'll rule it out immediately.

There's even a Wuhou Sect? Isn't that the Zhuge family's clan sect? Would they accept outsiders? Speaking of which, learning those mysterious things like Qimen Dunjia and divination might help with mastering the Secret Pattern Symbiosis Method. Besides, the Wuhou Sect is a sect whose path is said to "reach the heavens," and their ancestor Zhuge Liang is widely recognized as being only one step away from ascension to immortality.

Longhu Mountain... Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei is too powerful, and the secrets carried by the Celestial Master's Degree are too heavy, which may not be a good thing.

Try the Wuhou School.

Guan Yi's consciousness plummeted.

……

When the scene before Guan Yi became clear again, she saw an old woman wiping away tears with a handkerchief.

"Back then, my third brother suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even divination couldn't find him. Everyone thought he had been murdered by villains, and that it even involved the Qing government and foreigners. No one dared to investigate further."

Who knew… he was so foolish! For a woman, he abandoned his family and clan, concealed his whereabouts, and disappeared without a trace for decades. If it weren't for this chaotic world, our Zhuge family would probably never have known that he had a descendant!

Her tone was sorrowful, tinged with disappointment. She shook her head before looking at Guan Yi and saying, "Your name is 'Guan Yi'? Poor child, wandering in this world, you must have suffered greatly. Since you have no direct ancestors, you should return to your clan and be recognized. From now on, I will be your family, and you can change your name to 'Zhuge Yi'. Hmm... according to seniority, you are the 48th generation of our Zhuge family, and I am your fifth great-aunt, Zhuge Yi."

"...How is Fifth Aunt?"

"Sigh." Zhuge Yi forced a smile onto his sorrowful face. "Sensible child. Come on, I'll take you to the clan chief and have him write your name in the clan genealogy and arrange a place for you to stay."

"Thank you, Fifth Aunt."

"My family, you're welcome."

The plan didn't provide any hints, but Guan Yi quickly realized her situation from the words of the "Fifth Aunt Zhuge Yi" in front of her.

In order to get him to join the Wuhou faction, the plan should have arranged for him to return to his family and be recognized as a descendant of his ancestors.

This time, he will study at the Wuhou School as Zhuge Yi, the 48th generation descendant of the Zhuge family.

Guan Yi wasn't sure which generation the 48th generation was. The 'Qing Dynasty' mentioned by his fifth aunt and the old mahogany tables and chairs in the room made Guan Yi vaguely realize that the era he had come to seemed to be far removed from when the story of the One-Man World took place.

As Guan Yi followed her fifth aunt out of the house, the first thing she smelled was a damp, earthy scent mixed with the smell of decaying wood.

He was in a narrow alley, the bluestone pavement worn smooth by time, with velvety moss peeking out from the cracks. On both sides were towering gable walls, with rows of dark tiles spreading out.

The alley was so long that it seemed to stretch on forever, winding and twisting, unlike the usual straight and open alleyways. Every few steps with Aunt Wu, there was a fork in the road, and the alleys that branched off all looked the same, making it hard for Guan Yi to remember the way. It was as complicated as a maze.

After walking with Guan Yi for a while, Fifth Aunt tilted her head and said, "Do you feel like our Zhuge family is a maze? I wonder if Third Brother has told you anything about the Zhuge family."

Back in the Tianxi era of the Northern Song Dynasty, to escape the ravages of war, our Zhuge family, led by our 28th generation descendant Zhuge Dashi, moved the entire clan to Lanxi and built this Zhuge Bagua Village. The village's terrain is laid out in the shape of a nine-palace eight-trigram formation; without a guide, even a supernatural being would get lost within this array.

“Except for his last moments, Grandpa hardly ever mentioned the Zhuge family,” Guan Yi said.

"Really? That stubborn temper!" Fifth Aunt shook her head and said, "So he never taught you any of the Zhuge family's traditional skills?"

"No."

"Sigh, now you know to follow the rules of the house, but if you have extraordinary talent, this is really a waste of your potential. At 18, you've already missed the best age to lay a foundation."

As they were talking, the two ran into a middle-aged man who paused for a moment and asked, "Fifth Aunt, who is this child?"

“He’s your third uncle’s grandson.” Fifth Aunt turned around and introduced, “His name is Zhuge Yi. Little Yi, come and get acquainted with him. This is your seventh cousin, Zhuge Chen.”

"Third Uncle? Third Uncle isn't..."

Zhuge Chen was taken aback, but Guan Yi had already greeted him, saying, "Greetings, Seventh Uncle."

"Hey...hey, hello, hello."

Zhuge Chen looked at his fifth aunt questioningly, and his fifth aunt nodded affirmatively: "Your third uncle's branch only has Xiaoyi left. This child just came back to recognize his ancestors and clan. I was just about to take him to find the clan chief."

"I never imagined that my third uncle would have descendants."

Zhuge Chen didn't inquire further about his elders' affairs, only muttering in surprise before adding, "Then, is this child going to be...?"

"Yes, it should be handed over to you. See if he has the chance to become an Extraordinary Person."

Guan Yi then realized that this seventh cousin, Zhuge Chen, was the new generation of the Zhuge family's teaching staff.

After that, Guan Yi met many members of the Zhuge family with her fifth aunt.

They're all relatives.

Cousin, cousin's wife, uncle, paternal uncle...

It wasn't until he met the clan head, whom he should address as the fourth son-in-law, and was recorded in the family genealogy, that Guan Yi finally realized which era he had arrived in.

1919 years!
That is, the eighth year of the Republic of China!
The Qing Dynasty had only been gone for eight years, the Japanese invaders had not yet invaded China, the Eight Extraordinary Skills had not yet been invented, and the Jia Shen Rebellion was far from breaking out.

There was a full 96 years between the start of the official storyline of Under One Person!
