[Ding, smashed the bird's nest with the Chaos Azure Stone, gained 1 experience point, congratulations to the host for comprehending the Essence of Time!]

[Ding, watered the Hollow Willow (overwatered), gained 1 experience point, congratulations to the host for comprehending the Essence of Space!]

[Ding, endured the coldest days of winter without wearing long johns, relying on sheer righteousness, gained 1 experience point, congratulations to the host for comprehending the Essence of Immortal Dao!]

[Ding, detected that all skills have reached their cap, congratulations to the host for achieving the Founding of All Heavens achievement!]

Hearing the system prompts, Jiang Ping let out a long sigh of relief.

This was the Primordial World, where Golden Immortals were less valuable than dogs and Grand Unity experts roamed everywhere.

Every day, several long rainbows would appear, and the oppressive aura of powerful cultivators would dissipate.

Jiang Ping, a shut-in otaku who had transmigrated here, had no special skills to rely on and wouldn't dare step half a foot out of his small courtyard.

Fortunately, he had the system.

Although the creator of this system seemed like a jack-of-all-trades, life-skill player.

Jiang Ping searched the entire library but couldn't find a single cultivation manual or secret technique. Instead, it was filled with flashy toolbooks like the Guide to Scientific Fruit Tree Cultivation, Ten Days to Master Gomoku, Practical Manual for Integrated Water and Fertilizer Management of Grain Crops, and Postpartum Care for Sows.

However, he firmly believed that these skills were all laying the foundation for his immortal cultivation!

As long as he persisted, he would surely become someone who could punch Hongjun, kick Rahu, blow away the Twelve Ancestral Witches with a sneeze, and send Di Jun and the Eastern Emperor tumbling with a flick of his hand!

What about a mortal body, severed meridians, or a waste spiritual root? Those were not problems!

Finally, after Moving Mountains and Valleys, and Raising Dust in the East Sea.

Jiang Ping finished learning all the theoretical knowledge in the system's database before going bald!

Now, he should finally be able to start cultivating, right?

What kind of tempting rewards would the system give?

Top-tier cultivation techniques?

Supreme-grade immortal artifacts?

Or the Innate Saint Body that allowed for cultivation without bottlenecks?

Jiang Ping rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

[Ding, all of the host's skills have reached the pinnacle of perfection. The system can no longer provide enhancements and will now sever the connection.

May the host have peace and joy, and smooth sailing for the rest of your life!]

This system really knew how to talk, Jiang Ping scratched his head.

When his girlfriend broke up with him, she said something similar... Huh?

Huh!

Wait, stop... stop!

[Connection severed successfully!]

???

"It's over, it's all over..."

He had thought that according to the laws of transmigration, with the system's support, he would be the chosen one of the Primordial World!

But now...

"This damn system!" Jiang Ping gritted his teeth and cursed.

Actually, you were just afraid I'd starve to death in the Primordial World, so you taught me how to be self-sufficient, right?!

Sigh, I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword, but reality forced me to abandon my plans!

Whatever, the Primordial World is too dangerous. I'll just stay in this little courtyard forever, eating and waiting to die!

Anyway, I won't starve to death.

Glancing at the roulette hanging under the eaves, Jiang Ping swayed and stood up.

It was time to feed them again.

Jiang Ping thought for a moment, then picked out a few fruits from the baskets piled in the corner and busied himself with a clatter.

"Dinner's ready—"

As he shouted, the quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

A Little Kitten fell from the roof with a "splat."

Two fluffy chicks appeared from who knows where.

A silly dog, tongue lolling out, sprinted back from the hillside covered in peach trees.

In the pond, a plump pufferfish poked its head out from under the dense lotus leaves.

All beings in the courtyard were equal, eating whatever was available.

Watching them eat with gusto, Jiang Ping felt a wave of emotion.

The Primordial Era isn't bad, really. No worries about food or clothing, and I have pets. I can consider myself a winner in life.

It's just missing a wife. Otherwise, if it were just the two of us, unashamed and uninhibited, and we had a few more kids, it would be perfect.

After basking in the sun by the lotus pond for a while, Jiang Ping yawned and waved his hand, "Alright, everyone scatter, scatter. I'm going for a nap. You guys help me guard the house. If anyone disobeys, we'll tie them up and throw them out for the big demons outside to feast on."

Hearing this, the little guys' bodies trembled, their fur standing on end.

The two chicks, nicknamed 'Heng Ha Generals', had small eyes darting around, extremely clever. They immediately scurried to the doorstep and squatted on either side like door gods.

The kitten darted up a tree in a flash, looking down from a height into the distance with a solemn expression.

The silly dog rolled on the ground and lay sprawled in the center of the small courtyard, wagging its tail obsequiously.

Jiang Ping chuckled. These little guys were truly spirited, too bad they couldn't talk.

He reached out and poked the small head emerging from the pond. The pufferfish seemed angered and puffed its body into a round ball.

"You're probably the first pufferfish born in this Primordial Era. Ugly, gluttonous, and bad-tempered. You're lucky I found you, otherwise, you would have been eaten as candy by some creature long ago!"

As he spoke, Jiang Ping couldn't help but poke it a few more times.

Unable to stand the annoyance, the pufferfish gurgled a string of bubbles and sank to the bottom of the water, disappearing.

Jiang Ping slowly paced into the house, and soon, snoring could be heard.

The small courtyard returned to peace.

At the same time, the moment the system left Jiang Ping.

In the Azure Palace, Hongjun, seated on a cloud bed, sensed the changes in the Primordial Era, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

"The Great Dao is formless, and the Heavenly secrets are unfathomable. Interesting, interesting!

Allow me to merge with the Heavenly Dao and then investigate further!"

In the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor's hearts trembled. The Three-legged Golden Crow was extremely sensitive to its own kind.

"The Ancient Kunlun has inexplicably appeared with the auras of several Demon Race powerhouses. We need to go and take a look."

In Kunlun, Nuwa's expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Why has a strange small courtyard inexplicably appeared near my dojo?

And I can't detect any information from it?

How peculiar, who exactly is this divine being?
