In the era of human interstellar travel, the Carlos Federation was established. However, the lives of ordinary humans did not undergo any fundamental changes despite the rapid technological advancements.

The ideological belief in universal sustenance was proven to be a complete misconception.

With the increased resources, people began to focus on extending their lifespans. The Federation promoted the practice of cultivation, and numerous ancient martial arts and new body techniques began to develop. Additionally, many high-end professions in the human world require individual combat strength as a prerequisite. For instance, tasks like exploring new planets, taming creatures, and addressing conflicts in the human world.

Persistent friction persisted among several countries, and small-scale wars never stopped. Therefore, every citizen of the Federation would try to cultivate. Those who possessed enough strength could easily attain corresponding social status and income.

Of course, there are always those who are an exception amongst exceptions.

Tang Tianyuv's body was so weak that he could not even cultivate. During his foster parents' lifetime, he led a relatively decent life. Despite their modest income, his foster parents were frugal and managed to save up some money to take him for a check-up. The results left him speechless. The doctor said there was no obvious problem. It was just that most of his organs were weak, a typical case of congenital deficiency.

Then, his foster parents took him to a TCM doctor who shook his head and labeled him a cripple.

When he was left with almost nothing, salvation finally emerged! Upon finding the root cause of his weakness, he released all the depression accumulated for more than ten years.

With power, his mindset and approach to handling matters underwent a transformation, turning him into an entirely different person. The once-labeled loser had finally been awakened!
