Three Golden Crows

"Heavenly Dao, spare me! I'm just a beginner's guide system, under a lot of performance pressure, so I wanted to make a little extra… "

"I have an eighty-year-old Sovereign to support above and thirty million subordinate systems to lead below, it's not easy!"

The system's light sphere began to play the victim, squeezing out a few virtual tears in the data stream.

Beginner's guide system?

Zhang Hao sneered.

Could a beginner's system bind a Saint across worlds?

Could it speak of the Hun Yuan Limitless Great Dao right out of the gate?

Did it take him for a fool!

He was too lazy to waste words. The power of the Heavenly Dao pulsed slightly, and he began to analyze the underlying code and fundamental composition of this "Great Sage System of the Great Desolation."

Compared to Luohu's decisive combat system, this one was more like a… scam investment system?

It specialized in making grand promises, using the unattainable "Hun Yuan Limitless Great Dao" to tempt hosts into handing over resources, and then skimming off the vast majority of the "points."

Tsk, a profit margin of 999,999…9%!

Zhang Hao was astonished.

Luohu's system was, at best, an arms dealer, selling spiritual treasures.

This, compared to the Saint system, was practically the leader of a transnational telecom fraud ring!

"Venerable! I'll spit out all the origins I've swallowed! Let me go!"

The system's light sphere panicked completely. It felt its core protocols being violently cracked, its secrets laid bare for all to see.

Zhang Hao ignored it and instead looked at Hongjun, "Well done. I was right about you."

Hongjun bowed respectfully, "To assist the Heavenly Dao is my duty. This scoundrel actually tried to deceive me; its crimes are heinous!"

A perfectly timed look of lingering fear and indignation appeared on his face, as if he were merely a simple native of the Great Desolation who had narrowly avoided being tricked.

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes inwardly.

Believing him would be the real joke!

When he had submitted spiritual treasures to test the waters earlier, his movements had been anything but slow.

However, Hongjun's proactive "entrapment" gave Zhang Hao a new idea.

After dealing with the scam system and refining its origins to further supplement the Great Desolation, he said to Hongjun:

"These systems bind with Transmigrators, their primary purpose being to plunder the Great Desolation's origins and disrupt the Heavenly Mandate. Currently, there are likely not a few such existences within the Great Desolation."

"Hongjun, since you are already a Saint and have my authorization, you may secretly keep an eye out. If you discover any, you may deal with them as you see fit."

"If you encounter a tough bone, then call for me. It won't be too late."

This granted Hongjun a certain degree of autonomy and a "performance target."

Zhang Hao wanted to see what kind of tricks this future Dao Ancestor could pull off when dealing with Transmigrators and systems.

He couldn't always be the Heavenly Dao himself, personally swatting mosquitoes.

Hongjun understood immediately and said solemnly, "I shall strictly obey the Heavenly Dao's decree. I will diligently investigate, eliminate hidden dangers, and protect the peace of our Great Desolation."

Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction, then tossed the three Hun Yuan Great Daos from the scam system before Hongjun.

"Take these and refine them."

As the Heavenly Dao of the Great Desolation, Zhang Hao did not need to cultivate. The stronger the Great Desolation became, the stronger his own power would be.

Therefore, giving these systems' Hun Yuan Great Daos to Hongjun was a good choice.

Hongjun was not overly shocked upon seeing the three Hun Yuan Great Daos.

The fragments of the Creation Jade Disk already contained many Hun Yuan Great Daos for him to comprehend.

Refining these complete Hun Yuan Great Daos would merely speed up his progress.

Hongjun offered no pleasantries and immediately began refining the three Hun Yuan Great Daos.

Including the Path of Immortality he was cultivating himself, once he finished refining them, his strength would reach the fourth level of Hun Yuan.

Coupled with his True Spirit currently residing in the Heavenly Dao's void, he could already mobilize a portion of the Great Desolation's power.

As long as the strength of those systems did not exceed the fifth level of Hun Yuan, he could handle them.

Seeing Hongjun begin to refine these three Hun Yuan Great Daos, Zhang Hao did not disturb him and left Zixiao Palace.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Dao's void, Zhang Hao's gaze swept across the Great Desolation.

The Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation had already ended, and the Three Clans had withdrawn from the Great Desolation's stage. Transmigrators were highly unlikely to target the Three Clans anymore.

As for the Witch-Demon Calamity, one of its main protagonists, the Witch Clan, had already appeared.

The two Golden Crows of the Demon Clan would likely appear soon as well.

Zhang Hao thus set his sights on the Solar Star.

Solar Star.

Two Golden Crow eggs lay quietly on the branches of the Fusang Divine Tree.

They were Di Jun and Tai Yi, still in the process of gestation.

Before long, the consciousness within one of the Golden Crow eggs suddenly awakened.

It was the future Heavenly Emperor, Di Jun.

Di Jun woke up in a daze, then realized, had he transmigrated?

Transmigrated into that beast in the Great Desolation who refined the Witch-Slaying Sword using humans?!

I'm truly a scumbag!

No, wait, I haven't refined the Witch-Slaying Sword yet...

Just as Di Jun was contemplating his life, the Survival System that brought him to the Great Desolation also activated.

The longer he survived, the more generous the rewards.

He wasn't surprised by this at all; systems were standard equipment for Transmigrators.

Di Jun briefly familiarized himself with the system's functions, then turned his gaze to the other Golden Crow egg beside him.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was his younger brother, Tai Yi.

Oh, my foolish little brother!

This time, let your older brother lead you to survive until the end of time, and finally become the true winner of the Great Desolation!

The Witch-Demon War?

What Witch-Demon War, it's all a scheme by the Heavenly Dao, meant to destroy the Witch Clan. Their Demon Clan are merely sacrifices.

No, I need to cultivate quickly, at least gain the power to protect myself!

Di Jun thought, and immediately began cultivating. By the time he took human form, his cultivation base would be at the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Meanwhile.

The other Golden Crow egg beside Di Jun also showed signs of movement.

Tai Yi was ecstatic about transmigrating to the Great Desolation.

Before his transmigration, he was just a shut-in. He never expected to arrive in the legendary Great Desolation, and even awaken a "Many Children, Many Blessings" System.

As a great god who had played thousands of games, conquering the goddesses of the Great Desolation would be a piece of cake, right?

Tai Yi chuckled, then looked at Di Jun beside him.

Was this his cheap older brother?

As far as he knew, Di Jun was destined to perform the Heavenly Marriage with the two sisters from the Lunar Star next door.

In other words, he might lose two potential conquests.

This was unacceptable to him!

I'm sorry, Older Brother!

I see the two future sisters-in-law are still quite charming. Besides, they aren't sisters-in-law yet, hehehe.

After thinking this, Tai Yi also put his all into cultivating, striving to take human form as soon as possible, and then go conquer the goddesses of the Great Desolation.

Both Golden Crows began to cultivate frantically, but their objectives were vastly different.

Just as the two Golden Crows were engrossed in their cultivation.

Somewhere on the Solar Star, a new egg shadow appeared.

His name was Qin Yuan. In his past life, he was a high school student. His current identity was... a Golden Crow.

Holy crap! I'm in the Great Desolation!

Qin Yuan was a fan of the Great Desolation in his past life. He never imagined he would actually transmigrate to the Great Desolation.

But why was he alone? Where were Di Jun or Tai Yi?

Could it be that he had devoured Di Jun and Tai Yi?!

"Host, calm down. You are the third Golden Crow." a cold mechanical voice sounded.

Qin Yuan calmed down upon hearing this. If he were the only Golden Crow, wouldn't going to fight the Twelve Ancestor Witches be suicidal?!

The one who had just spoken to him was the Wild History System he was bound to.

As long as enough people believed the unofficial histories he spread, he could use system points to exchange for the Hun Yuan Great Dao and achieve sainthood.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and asked the system to send him to the vicinity of Di Jun and Tai Yi's eggs.

Rather than being alone, he preferred to fight alongside others.

Qin Yuan: "Uh, make some room, will ya?"

Di Jun and Tai Yi: "Whoa, buddy, who are you?!"
