At the dawn of Chaos!
The giant Pangu battled three thousand gods and demons, raising his divine axe to shatter Chaos and create the Primordial World.
The clear qi then rose to become Heaven, while the murky qi sank to become Earth.
Heaven and Earth merged yet remained apart. Pangu held up the azure sky and stood upon the land, exhausting his strength before perishing and transforming his body into all things.
Thus, the Primordial World was newly formed.
In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years passed.
A grain of sand dust drifted with the wind, and within it, a wisp of consciousness slowly formed~
Another thousand years passed in an instant.
"Ugh, ah~"
"That was a comfortable sleep!"
Chi Yu lazily opened his eyes.
"Damn! Where is this?"
"I... Why have I become a grain of sand dust?"
"What's going on? Just a second ago, I was lying on the sofa asleep."
"Hey! Is anyone there? Help!"
Chi Yu panicked and shouted for help, but there was no response.
He continued drifting with the wind!
Before long, he accepted reality. He wanted to kill himself, but how was he supposed to do that without hands or feet?
"Sigh~ It's over! Did I mess around too much and get reincarnated into another world?"
~
And so, Chi Yu drifted and drifted and drifted.
Until one day,
Dark clouds gathered densely in the sky, as though rain were about to fall.
Chi Yu panicked again.
"Oh my god! Is it going to rain? Won't this sand dust body of mine be finished?"
"Help!"
"Someone, save me!"
Chi Yu was so anxious that his soul nearly leaped out of him.
"I want to run, but there's nowhere to run!"
Suddenly! A Strange Bird flew past. Chi Yu used every ounce of strength he had to cling to it.
After many attempts, he finally attached himself to the Strange Bird's wing feathers.
"Whew~"
"This nearly killed me! Good thing I made it!"
Chi Yu let out a lingering sigh of relief.
The Strange Bird carried him through the air until they reached a volcano.
Inside the volcano stood an Innate Sycamore Tree.
At last, the Strange Bird settled on the Phoenix Tree, then shook its feathers.
"Ah~"
The moment Chi Yu opened his eyes, he discovered that the Strange Bird had shaken him off.
"Where is this? Why is everything so red?"
"This... This is a volcano?"
"Damn it! You dead bird, I swear I'll never forgive you!"
~
However, the imagined danger never arrived. As the air flowed, Chi Yu was soon carried out of the volcano.
"Sigh! What kind of nonsense is this? This cursed drifting life of mine."
Drifting with the wind, another ten thousand years passed.
One day, just as Chi Yu opened his eyes, a conversation in the distance caught his attention.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Shen Ni is attacking! Return to the cave abode and activate the Great Array. Do not leave seclusion for less than ten thousand years."
Not far away, a white-haired old man gave instructions to two disciples.
Soon afterward, the group vanished from Chi Yu's sight.
Chi Yu pondered carefully.
"Shen Ni?"
"Beast Emperor Shen Ni? The Ferocious Beast Calamity? This is the Primordial World?"
"Now it all makes sense. I was reborn in the Early Primordial Era! My god~"
But as he thought about it, Chi Yu could not help growing worried.
After all, the Primordial World was filled with mighty experts. The strong ruled, danger lurked everywhere, and one's foundation mattered greatly. What kind of good foundation could a mere grain of sand dust like him possibly have?
Without a good foundation, his cultivation would lag behind others, and if he lagged behind, he would get beaten up.
With a poor foundation, no mighty expert would care to accept him as a disciple.
"Right! Other mighty experts were either born with a Companion Supreme Treasure or a Companion Cultivation Method. As the first grain of sand dust in the Primordial World, I should have something too, right?"
Chi Yu looked here and searched there, but found nothing at all.
"What a scam! Which lunatic brought me here and then refused to take responsibility? Psycho! Take me back already, I want to go home!"
Chi Yu roared helplessly.
"Sigh! If I can't cultivate, how will I ever transform into human form? Am I going to remain sand dust for the rest of my life?"
"Ah~"
~
Chi Yu had already fallen into despair and drifted with the wind without any hope left.
Suddenly, a pulling force dragged Chi Yu into a hidden mountain cave.
In the end, Chi Yu landed atop a Stone Coffin.
Time held no meaning in the Primordial World!
Nearly dead inside and without the slightest hope, Chi Yu opened his melancholy eyes.
Everything around him was pitch-black.
"Heh~ Was I blown out of the Primordial World and into Chaos? Fine! Drift away, then!"
Having completely given up, Chi Yu closed his eyes again.
Suddenly, a giant lizard accidentally stepped on Chi Yu.
Ding!
No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him!
The Stronger System has activated!
Will the host bind with it?
Chi Yu was dazed, as if he had heard someone speaking inside his mind.
"A system? What system? What would a grain of sand dust waiting to die need a system for?"
Suddenly! Chi Yu came to his senses, froze, and abruptly opened his eyes.
"What?"
"A system?"
No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him!
The Stronger System has activated!
Will the host bind with it?
"Wow! It really is a system!"
"Bind, bind, bind! Hurry up and bind!"
Ding! Binding successful!
Welcome to the Stronger System!
"System, what functions do you have?"
No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him!
"System, what cultivation methods do you have?"
No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him!
"System, what magic treasures do you have?"
No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him!
"Uh~"
"Does the system have missions? Or check-ins, choices, something like that?"
No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him!
The only response he ever received was that emotionless mechanical voice.
Chi Yu fell into despair again!
"Ah~ What a scam!"
No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him!
"Uh~"
"Fine, fine, fine! You're strong, okay? Damn it, if you're so strong, then give me a cultivation method! Give me a magic treasure! You useless scam system! Pah~"
Ding! The host has been detected engaging in battle with an enemy for the first time! Attribute panel unlocked!
Enemy: One Earth Immortal Mid-stage Lizard
No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him!
Congratulations, host! Your cultivation has risen to Earth Immortal Late-stage!
"Uh~"
A warm current spread through his entire body, and Chi Yu's cultivation began to rise.
Earth Immortal Early-stage
Earth Immortal mid-stage
Earth Immortal Late-stage
It only stopped upon reaching the Earth Immortal Late-stage Peak.
The cultivation realms of the Primordial World:
Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal.
Saint Realm: Hunyuan Golden Immortal (Quasi-Saint), Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal (Saint), Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal (Heavenly Dao Realm), Hunyuan Taishang Wuji Golden Immortal (Great Dao Realm).
Each major realm was further divided into four minor stages: early-stage, mid-stage, late-stage, and peak.
"Whew~"
Chi Yu exhaled blissfully, then opened his eyes.
"System! Check my personal attributes!"
Stronger System: No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him! Host: Chi Yu Cultivation: Earth Immortal Late-stage Foundation: Innate Sand Dust.
"Uh~ That's it? Just this? Where's my cultivation method? Divine abilities and such, magic treasures and such, or even laws?"
No matter how strong he is, you are stronger than him!
"Ah~"
Chi Yu was nearly driven mad by this system!
After calming down, he carefully sorted it all out!
"How did I gain cultivation just now?"
"A lizard stepped on me, and it was judged as a battle? Then I gained cultivation just a little stronger than it?"
"So! As long as I fight someone, or the system judges it as a battle, I can gain cultivation just a little stronger than my opponent?"
"Hahaha! This is great! Can I just lie down and coast now or what?"
"At this very moment, I want to shout: Hongjun, do you dare fight me?"
After figuring it out, Chi Yu's confidence soared.
"But without a cultivation method, I can't cultivate on my own. How am I supposed to transform into human form? Or can I transform directly as long as my cultivation is high enough?"
"Never mind! My cultivation is too low right now, so thinking about this is useless."
"Hmm~ I need to find a way to battle someone with higher cultivation than mine!"
"But I'm a weakling who isn't even a Golden Immortal. If I go out, I'm afraid someone could blow me to death with a single breath!"
"Hmm~ First, let's see where this is!"
Now that Chi Yu had Earth Immortal Late-stage cultivation, he could finally drift on his own and no longer needed the wind to carry him.
He shook his body and used qi to control himself, floating through the air. At first, he was unaccustomed to it and could not control his direction. After repeated attempts, he finally adapted completely.
"Where is this place? It's pitch-black, without even a speck of light!"
Suddenly, he seemed to bump into something.
He drifted closer to take a look!
"Oh my god! What a huge coffin!"
"But where in the Primordial World would there be a coffin?"
He thought carefully.
"No, no! What was that? Randeng?"
That was right. Chi Yu had drifted into the birthplace of Randeng, who had yet to take form.
Unfortunately, he could not cultivate himself. Otherwise, this cave abode would have counted as a shocking Treasure Land, a wondrous cultivation sanctuary, and an excellent place for secluded cultivation.
"Should I open the coffin lid and take a look? There might be some treasure inside?"
Just as he was about to open the coffin lid, he hesitated. To put it plainly, he was still afraid; after all, his cultivation was too low.
"Sigh... Forget it! I'll come back and inspect it when my cultivation is higher. Randeng is still far from taking form anyway."
"It is now the Ferocious Beast Calamity. Isn't this also a great opportunity for me to improve my cultivation?"
Those ferocious beasts, aside from Shen Ni, who had gained intelligence, were nothing more than a pack of animals that only knew how to fight.
"Let's look farther ahead!"
Chi Yu continued drifting forward.
He drifted for an entire month, yet still could not find the edge of the cave abode.
"This cave abode is huge! I've drifted for so long, yet I still can't see the end."
Suddenly, there was a disturbance ahead!
Two gigantic bats were fighting over the position of leader. Chi Yu's eyes lit up. Knowing that his chance had come, he immediately drifted toward them.
"Boom—"
"Shriek—"
The two sides were evenly matched, trading blows back and forth. For the moment, neither could determine a victor.
Chi Yu sped up and drifted between the two beasts.
Two loud explosions rang out.
Ice and Fire Double Heaven!
A stream of flame and a wave of frost simultaneously wrapped around Chi Yu.
"Hiss—"
"System, be more useful! This hurts like hell!"
