The First Chapter

"Who am I?"

"Where is this?"

"Why have I turned into an egg?"

Li Peng gazed at his body and whispered in confusion.

He had just been too tired from working overtime and had fallen asleep on his desk.

But when he woke up, he found himself a giant egg, enveloped by black and white Yin-Yang Qi.

Beside him was another egg, shimmering with five colors: blue, yellow, red, black, and white.

Li Peng froze for a moment, then calmed down.

After all, he was a modern person who had been baptized by countless web novels and transmigration dramas.

He was no stranger to transmigration.

Just as he regained his composure, a surge of information flooded his mind, making him instantly understand his situation—

He was the Golden Winged Great Peng, the son of the Ancestor Phoenix.

"I actually became that idiot Golden Winged Great Peng?"

Li Peng couldn't help but curse.

As an old bookworm who had read many Primordial Era novels, he was all too familiar with the character of the Golden Winged Great Peng.

He had a powerful brother named Kong Xuan.

They were twins, with similar origins and aptitudes.

The Golden Winged Great Peng was born controlling Yin and Yang, while Kong Xuan commanded the Five Elements.

But Kong Xuan later became the foremost figure below a Saint, even able to contend with Saints;

while the Golden Winged Great Peng lived a frustrating life. By the time of Journey to the West, he was even calling chess pieces like Sun Wukong his brother.

Thinking of this, Li Peng couldn't help but feel a sense of indignation for the Golden Winged Great Peng.

Just as Li Peng felt indignant for the Golden Winged Great Peng, he suddenly realized that he had become the Golden Winged Great Peng, and wouldn't those frustrating things befall him?

"Do I have to go through the Golden Winged Great Peng's frustrating life all over again?" Li Peng muttered irritably.

But he quickly realized—at this moment, he was still just an egg.

Everything he knew hadn't happened yet.

Therefore, Li Peng could completely change his destiny.

In the original Primordial Era history, the Golden Winged Great Peng refined his innate spiritual power into the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, resulting in mediocre talent and no achievements.

But now, his talent was still there, and he had the advantage of foresight.

With this thought, Li Peng was filled with confidence for the future.

"Since I've been reborn as the Golden Winged Great Peng, I will never be as mediocre as before!

I will become the one who plays the game, not a mere pawn!"

Flames ignited in Li Peng's eyes as he spoke ambitiously to himself.

Just then, a mechanical electronic voice sounded:

"Ding! Detected host's strong desire to become stronger, fulfilling the activation conditions for the God-Tier Choice System!"

"System initializing... 1%... 5%... 10%... 50%... 100%, activation successful! The God-Tier Choice System is at your service."

A system?

Li Peng was stunned at first, then ecstatic.

As an old web novel reader, he knew too well what a system meant—crushing everything and reaching the pinnacle!

He suppressed his excitement and waited for the system activation to complete.

"Ding! System binding successful. Please make your initial choice, host."

"Choice One: The host already has the desire to become stronger, so why rely on external forces? Please immediately unbind the system and venture alone in the Primordial Era!

Reward: Title 'Super Big Club'."

"Choice Two: Disregard the damage to your origin and break out of the shell immediately to travel the Primordial Era!

Reward: One drop of Pangu's Essence Blood."

"Choice Three: Continue cultivating here, excavating your potential to the extreme before breaking out of the shell!

Reward: Innate Yin-Yang Origin."

"Please make your choice as soon as possible!"

Li Peng paused when he heard the options the system gave him, then he carefully examined the three choices.

He immediately dismissed the first option – why bother with slow cultivation when there was a shortcut?

Unless the reward was the cultivation of Pangu the Great God, then it would be worth considering.

But what was a title like "Super A Club"?

The system hadn't left him any room to choose!

After complaining in his heart, he continued reading.

The second option's reward was Pangu's Essence Blood. If he could obtain it, his cultivation would surely soar. It would be worth it even if he lost some of his origin.

But it required him to travel through the Primordial Era?

With Li Peng's current cultivation, any powerful being he encountered could likely make him their next meal.

What's more, carrying a drop of Pangu's Essence Blood would simply attract all sorts of powerful beings to snatch it.

Thinking this, he decisively abandoned the second choice.

Next, he looked at the third option.

Hmm, this one was good.

Develop low-key!

Although the reward was only Innate Yin-Yang Two Qi, which couldn't compare to Pangu's Essence Blood, it had the advantage of safety.

Moreover, the Innate Yin-Yang Two Qi was extremely compatible with the Golden Winged Great Peng. For the Golden Winged Great Peng, it might be more suitable than Pangu's Essence Blood.

After all, there was no best, only the most suitable.

Therefore, Li Peng said to the system without hesitation, "I choose the third one."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for making the most suitable choice!"

"Ding! As this is the initial choice, the system will issue the reward in advance!"

"Ding! Innate Yin-Yang Two Qi has been issued to the system warehouse. Please check."

As the system's voice faded, Li Peng's consciousness entered a vast, boundless space.

This system warehouse was so large it seemed endless, as if it were infinite.

"This system warehouse is too big... The system is truly amazing."

As he marveled, his gaze was drawn to a black and white swirling stream of energy in the space.

"Is this the Innate Yin-Yang Origin? It's truly captivating."

Li Peng murmured to himself for a moment, then beckoned, drawing out the Yin-Yang Two Qi and integrating it into his body.

As the Innate Yin-Yang Two Qi entered his body, he felt his physical body and soul being constantly reshaped.

After this transformation, Li Peng realized that his comprehension of the Way of Yin and Yang became smoother, and his speed of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth also significantly increased.

This change made him overjoyed.

The improvement in his enlightenment efficiency and the acceleration of spiritual energy absorption undoubtedly meant that his aptitude had reached a new level.

With this thought, Li Peng calmed his mind and focused his attention on comprehending the Yin-Yang Origin within his body.

Just as he was concentrating on his cultivation, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him seemed to go out of control, rushing madly towards the egg he was in.

The other egg, which was flowing with five-colored light, could only watch as the spiritual energy it could absorb dwindled day by day, helpless to do anything about it.

Fortunately, Kong Xuan had not yet developed self-awareness. Otherwise, he would probably hate Li Peng to the bone by now.

After all, obstructing someone's cultivation was like cutting off their future!

At the same moment, inside the Purple Firmament Palace.

"Pfft—"

Ancestor Hongjun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with shock. "How could this be? Why has the Heavenly Mystery suddenly fallen into chaos?

Is it Ancestor Yang Mei acting in secret? Or is it that celestial demon from beyond the domain, Luohu?

You forced me out at the crucial moment of my enlightenment and becoming a Saint, thinking you could stop me?

It's all in vain. At most, it will just take me a little longer!"

"Hmph! Once I become a Saint, I will make you pay!"

Ancestor Hongjun's gaze was sharp as he spoke coldly.

After speaking, he merged with the Heavenly Dao again, continuing to comprehend the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

Although disturbed, Ancestor Hongjun's speed of comprehending the Heavenly Dao was not as swift as before, but it was still thousands of times faster than ordinary cultivators in the Primordial Era.

Time flew by, and a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Peng, who was immersed in his cultivation, was suddenly awakened by a system notification.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for perfectly integrating the Innate Yin-Yang Origin!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for awakening the divine ability - Innate Yin Yang Destruction Divine Light!"

Hearing the system's prompt, Li Peng snapped out of his deep cultivation, an inexpressible joy surging in his heart.

"I finally have my own divine ability!" Li Peng whispered.

He immediately asked the system, "What are the powers of this Innate Destruction Divine Light?"

"Please check the attribute panel yourself, host," the system replied mechanically.

Li Peng was slightly stunned, then he spotted the words "Attribute Panel" in the lower right corner of the system interface.

Li Peng lightly touched the attribute panel with his divine sense, and the panel opened in response.

Host: Li Peng Species: Golden Winged Great Peng Talent: Top-Grade Innate Being (Talent is divided into: Post-natal Deity Talent, Innate Deity Talent, Chaos Demon God Talent. Each category is further divided into top, upper, middle, and lower grades.) Cultivation Method: Ancestral Phoenix Art Divine Ability: Innate Destruction Divine Light Realm: Late Golden Immortal (Primordial Era cultivation levels: Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, Saint, Heavenly Dao, Great Dao. All below Earth Immortal are ants, not worth mentioning.) Evaluation: In the Primordial Era, shortly after the war between the three tribes, you can already occupy a small mountain and become a local lord.

Li Peng looked at the system's evaluation, his mind racing.

His ambition was to transcend the Heavenly Dao; how could he be content with being a mere mountain lord?

After a brief complaint, he clicked on the divine ability section to examine it closely.

Innate Destruction Divine Light: Born from the fusion of the host's Yin-Yang Origin and Innate Yin-Yang Two Qi, it contains the law of destruction. Its power is immense, capable of killing enemies across a major realm.

Li Peng nodded inwardly upon reading this description.

In the Primordial Era, few could kill enemies across a major realm. They either relied on heaven-defying spirit treasures or possessed peerless divine abilities.

Now, he had obtained one of them.

After a moment of joy, he turned his gaze to the talent section.

Top-Grade Innate Divine Being Physique. Although not as good as reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods like Hongjun, Luohu, or Yang Mei, it was no less than that of the Three Pure Ones.

If he could secure a spot when Hongjun lectured, becoming a Saint in the future would not be a vain hope.

Thinking of this, Li Peng felt content.

"Alas, my cultivation is still too low. If I can continue to cultivate, I might achieve Grand Unity in tens of thousands of years."

He considered himself greedy, shook his head, and sighed, resolving to focus on his cultivation.

At this point, he noticed that the attribute panel contained the Ancestral Phoenix Art.

Since his transmigration, apart from familiarizing himself with the system, he had been fully immersed in comprehending the Innate Yin-Yang Origin, and had not realized he already possessed a cultivation method.

Li Peng clicked on the description of the Ancestral Phoenix Art.

The Ancestral Phoenix Art is the cultivation method of the Ancestor Phoenix. This technique simultaneously refines both the Primordial Spirit and the physical body, and it is a cultivation method that can directly lead to the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

As long as the cultivator possesses sufficient destiny, they can successfully break through to Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Li Peng felt quite helpless upon reading this.

Because he knew very well that this was a cultivation method that required unifying the Primordial Era and gathering all destiny to achieve the Primordial realm.

But could Li Peng truly unify the Primordial Era and gather all destiny?

This was clearly unrealistic.

In the Primordial Era, there was Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao, and six Saints.

To gather all destiny?

He would likely be annihilated by the Saints before he could even succeed.

If he truly had the strength to defeat Hongjun and the six Saints, why would he still need to unify the Primordial Era?

By then, he would at least be a Heavenly Dao-level existence, and the destiny of the Primordial Era would be of no use to him.

Therefore, this Ancestral Phoenix Art was actually a Primordial-level cultivation method with a blocked path forward.

Even though the path ahead was blocked, it was very suitable for building a foundation.

After all, Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal was still too far away for Li Peng. For now, he should focus on cultivating and strive to take form as soon as possible.

With this thought, Li Peng closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Time flowed by, a thousand years, five thousand years, ten thousand years, twenty thousand years...

As the years passed, his cultivation gradually improved.

Late Golden Immortal, Peak Golden Immortal, Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal...

After an unknown period, Li Peng finally reached the Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Just as Li Peng was preparing to break through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal in one go, the system's voice sounded again.

"Ding! Detected that the host is about to break through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Please make a choice!"

"Choice 1: Directly break through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, regardless of the bloom's grade. Reward: Innate Middle-Grade Spirit Treasure Water Spirit Pearl."

"Choice 2: Travel through the Primordial Era to accumulate foundation, allowing the bloom to reach grade nine. Reward: High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Purple Lightning Hammer, two drops of Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch (Peak Quasi-Saint) essence blood."

"Choice 3: Travel through the Primordial Era to accumulate foundation, allowing the three blooms to reach grade twelve. Reward: Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Yin Yang Twin Swords (when combined, they can contend with an Innate Supreme Treasure), two drops of Pangu's Essence Blood."

"Please host choose quickly!"

Upon hearing the system prompt, Li Peng immediately stopped his breakthrough and began to ponder seriously.

Based on his experience reading countless Primordial Era novels, the higher the grade of the Grand Unity bloom, the greater the potential and the higher the future achievement.

The system offered these choices to allow him to build a solid foundation for breaking through to higher realms in the future!
