Transmigrated to the Great Desolation, Became a Ginseng Root?

Lin Shen's consciousness struggled to break free from the chaos. It took a great deal of effort before he could barely open his eyes.

The scene before him left him completely dumbfounded.

A blade of wild grass was taller than the six-story rental building he lived in during his previous life.

A single ordinary leaf was large enough to cover his entire body, with plenty of room to spare.

The ancient, towering trees in the distance were ridiculously exaggerated; each one resembled a pillar supporting the sky, piercing straight into the clouds, their tops completely out of sight.

A peculiar, fresh fragrance permeated the air.

Taking a gentle breath, every cell in his body seemed to cheer and leap. The feeling of comfort was a hundred times more intense than any top-tier spa treatment.

"Where on earth is this place?"

He tried to ask, but only a baby's babbling sounds came out.

The voice was soft and sweet, startling even himself.

He looked down, and Lin Shen's heart nearly stopped.

A pair of fair, chubby little legs.

Two plump little arms.

There were even five cute little dimples on his small hands.

This was clearly the body of a three-year-old baby!

Trembling, he reached up to touch his head.

His scalp was bare, but right in the center, a small, emerald-green leaf grew, swaying gently in the breeze.

"What the hell did I turn into?!"

Lin Shen was completely bewildered.

His memories from his previous life were crystal clear—he had stayed up for three days and three nights straight to finish a project report, and then his vision went black before he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he had somehow arrived in this primeval forest-like place.

And he had transformed into a little baby with a leaf growing on its head.

Had he transmigrated?

And into a non-human creature?

He tried to move his little legs and took two steps forward.

He lost his balance and his little backside landed directly on the ground.

The ground was covered with unknown exotic flowers and plants, soft and yielding, so it didn't hurt.

"Eee-yah..."

He felt like crying, but no tears would come. He could only emit these meaningless single syllables.

Having an adult's soul trapped in a baby's body was simply an unbearable torment.

Just as Lin Shen was wallowing in self-pity, a terrifying suction force suddenly surged from all directions.

This power completely enveloped his tiny body.

"Yaa!"

Lin Shen's little face turned pale with fright, and he flailed his limbs.

He felt like a fallen leaf caught in a tornado, flying uncontrollably towards an unknown direction at high speed.

The surrounding scenery rapidly receded, transforming into streaks of brilliant flowing light.

He wanted to shout for help, but all that came out of his mouth were "Eee-yah" sounds, which sounded more like he was being pampered.

It's over!

I just transmigrated, haven't even figured out my identity, and I'm about to be snatched by some monster to be eaten?

Lin Shen's heart turned cold, and he closed his eyes in despair.

This transmigration is too much of a scam!

He didn't know how long he flew, but the terrifying suction force suddenly disappeared.

Lin Shen felt his body lighten, and then, like a small ball, he plummeted rapidly from mid-air.

"Yaa--!"

He squeezed his eyes shut tightly in fear, bracing himself for the painful impact with the ground.

But the anticipated pain never came.

He landed in a warm and firm embrace.

A faint scent of grass and wood entered his nostrils, bringing a sense of peace to his mind.

Lin Shen cautiously opened one eye, peeking upwards.

A gentle, smiling face came into view.

The face was thin and refined, with white hair and beard, and eyes that held an indescribable tranquility and depth, as if encompassing all things in the world.

"Heh heh, what a remarkable little fellow, born of the essence of heaven and earth."

The old man holding him chuckled softly.

His voice was not loud, yet it felt like a spring breeze caressing his heart, instantly easing Lin Shen's fear.

At this moment, two more faces leaned in from the side.

One face was stern and unsmiling, exuding an aura of authority that made it difficult to look directly at him.

Yet, in his eyes as he looked at Lin Shen, a hint of unconcealed surprise and affection was hidden.

The other face appeared much younger, with sharp brows and bright eyes, full of heroic spirit. A playful smile played on his lips as he appraised Lin Shen with great interest.

"Eldest Brother, this little brat is truly peculiar."

The heroic young man spoke, his voice clear and resonant, carrying a bold and unrestrained air.

"His roots and bones are extraordinary, and he actually contains such pure Origin Qi within him. He is truly a treasure nurtured by heaven and earth."

The stern-looking middle-aged man also nodded, speaking a rare evaluation: "Indeed. He is the first Innate Spiritual Root to undergo Form Transformation in this Primordial World."

"A Ginseng Spirit."

Listening to their conversation, Lin Shen's heart was thrown into turmoil.

Eldest Brother?

Innate Spiritual Root?

Ginseng Spirit?

Coupled with the demeanor of these three – one embodying effortless governance, another solemn and majestic, and the third bold and unrestrained.

A guess, so audacious it felt absurd even to himself, emerged from the depths of his heart.

Could these three be the legendary Three Pure Ones?!

Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu?

And the place he was currently in… was it the Primordial World?!

Lin Shen's mind buzzed, completely shutting down.

As an ordinary office drone, how could he possibly be so fortunate as to meet the top powerhouses of the Primordial World the moment he transmigrated?

Wasn't this starting scenario too fantastical?

"Little fellow, there's no need to be afraid."

Taishang Laojun, who was holding him, spoke gently to reassure him.

"We see you are fated with the Dao and wish to take you as a disciple. Are you willing?"

Lin Shen blinked his large, round eyes, looking at the three incredibly powerful figures before him.

Only one thought occupied his mind.

Willing!

Of course, I'm willing!

This is the Primordial World!

Outside, there are nothing but Fierce Beasts and Great Demons. Without a powerful backer, I, a newborn "Little Ginseng Spirit," probably wouldn't survive a single day!

He wanted to nod, to speak.

But his body wouldn't obey. He could only desperately wave his little arms, emitting "yi yi ya ya" sounds.

His little face turned red with anxiety.

Tongtian Jiaozhu burst into laughter at his anxious expression.

"Eldest Brother, look, the little fellow is getting anxious. He's definitely willing!"

Yuanshi Tianzun, though his face remained stern, also nodded slightly: "Since he possesses spiritual awareness, he must have agreed."

The smile on Taishang Laojun's face deepened.

He gently bounced the little fellow in his arms and said, "This is excellent. From this day forward, you shall be a disciple of us Three Pure Ones."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shen felt a warm current flow from Laojun, enveloping him instantly.

The fatigue and unease he had felt from being pulled by that mysterious force vanished completely.

Security!

Unprecedented security!

These three legs are just too thick to hold onto!

Just as Lin Shen was happily contemplating a future of clinging to their legs and walking all over the Primordial World, a crisp, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully become a disciple, meeting the binding conditions.]

[Primordial World Growth System, binding in progress...]

[10%...50%...100%! Binding successful!]

Lin Shen's small body stiffened.

A system?

The standard cheat for transmigrators, finally here!
