Who said Honghuang goddesses are easy to chase?

Shi Chen Palace.

"System, where are my rewards?"

Shi Chen sat back on his cloud bed and let out a long sigh.

Before Luohu could make a move, the system had triggered a divine-tier selection. If it weren't for the system, he might not have made it back.

[Ding, Host chose to immediately use the Shi Chen Bamboo Flute to escape. Selection successful.]

[Ding, rewards are now being distributed: Ventriloquism, Eighteen Touches of Marvelous Methods, Thirty-six Spiraling Forms, Seventy-two Ultimate Skills of the Poison Dragon (All rewards are mythical versions).]

"Hiss!"

Shi Chen gasped. These things didn't sound like they were from any proper source.

I, Old Ancestor Shi Chen, am a gentleman! I detest such frivolous and tricky arts.

"System, is this Ventriloquism proper?"

Shi Chen asked hesitantly.

[Heh, the host's true colors are showing, aren't they?]

"You tell me what this is first."

Shi Chen's old face blushed. What true colors... A gentleman like me wouldn't understand such things?

[It's the same kind you learned about in books. There are those skilled in ventriloquism in the capital.]

The system said disdainfully.

Those skilled in ventriloquism in the capital...

Just hearing about it made one's imagination run wild. As for the effects, well, those who know, know.

Not only that, but there were also mythical versions of martial arts skills with such variety and outstanding techniques!

This left Old Ancestor Shi Chen, a Chaos Demon God, utterly dumbfounded.

"System, why would you give me these kinds of rewards? I... How am I supposed to use them?"

[Host, I don't know if you're genuinely foolish or just pretending. You have so many bamboos in your Shi Chen Palace.]

"Damn it! I'm a Chaos Demon God, a gentleman, Old Ancestor Shi Chen! How could I possibly do such a heinous thing?"

[Uh... I meant you could enlighten some women or something.]

"Bah! This Old Ancestor detests such behavior! Stop toying with this Old Ancestor!"

Shi Chen put on a furious expression.

Based on the principle of knowing oneself and one's enemy, he decided to thoroughly understand all these unique little skills first before enlightening any maids...

Bah, he would condemn and criticize these techniques morally!

He, Shi Chen, is a gentleman.

[Ding! Divine-tier System of Selection triggered a choice.]

[Now detecting that Old Ancestor Hongjun has emerged from seclusion and is heading with three other ancestors to slay Luohu. Host, please make a choice.]

[1: Turn a deaf ear to worldly affairs and focus solely on doing what you love to do. Reward: Method of Enlightenment (Enlightenment will definitely be of women, and they will definitely be Golden Immortals upon birth).]

[2: Secretly go and wait for the snipe and the clam to fight, profiting from the fisherman's struggle by ambushing both sides. Reward: Primordial Violet Qi.]

[3: Go openly with Hongjun to slay Luohu. Reward: Being thrown into the fray to die by Hongjun.]

[4: Join Luohu and help Luohu slay the four ancestors. Reward: Luohu's backstab.]

"What the heck, another choice already?"

Shi Chen was startled. He hadn't expected Hongjun to personally take action.

So, should I choose 1 or 2?

"System, I choose 2."

After much hesitation, Shi Chen chose 2.

He already had the Method of Becoming a Saint, and now he would get the Primordial Violet Qi. As long as he ambushed Hongjun, he would definitely be able to become a saint before him. Once he became a saint, wouldn't the heavens be high and the seas boundless for him to soar?

After becoming a saint, what kind of women wouldn't he have? A mere Golden Immortal, enlightened by himself, how could she be worthy of his status?

[Ding, Host's choice successful. Primordial Violet Qi has been distributed.]

"System, I already have the Method of Severing Three Corpses and the Primordial Violet Qi. How can I become a saint?"

Shi Chen asked with a frown.

[As long as the Host refines the Merit of the Heavenly Dao, your three corpses will merge into one, guiding the Primordial Violet Qi, and you will achieve sainthood in one fell swoop.]

"What? So you mean I have to go and snatch Hongjun's Merit?"

[What? Are you, a mere beast of burden, expecting to get something for nothing?]

"Ahem, this Old Ancestor is not that kind of person. Just wait, I'm going to steal... Bah, to slay Luohu!"

And so, Old Ancestor Shi Chen, who had fled in disarray a thousand years ago, once again embarked on the path to punish Luohu.

Hongjun had already decided to go with them to slay Luohu.

It was mainly because Yang Mei was so eager to rush to his death that it would be difficult for him to refuse.

Since the other party was about to die, you couldn't stop them from struggling a bit, could you?

Moreover, if Yang Mei and the other two really died in the West, how could he face this Transmigrator without a system? After all, the previous Transmigrator without a system, Pangu, had played himself to death.

Who knew what new tricks Yang Mei would come up with without the guidance of a system?

Hongjun had already started treating Transmigrators like children's programming, after all, who didn't love comedy?

Since Yang Mei wanted to fight, then let them fight.

According to Hongjun's own ability to observe all of time and space with a single glance, there were many variations in the timing of this battle, countless possibilities.

But no matter which possibility it was, Yang Mei was destined to die.

Hongjun had originally wanted to let him struggle for a few more days, considering he didn't have a system.

It seemed he didn't appreciate it.

"Heh heh, then, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, let us depart immediately."

Yang Mei was secretly pleased.

As expected, as long as they threatened to die, Hongjun would have to go even if he didn't want to.

This way, Hongjun couldn't borrow the momentum of the Heavenly Dao. Without the momentum of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun would lose his protagonist halo.

And he, Yang Mei, was a Transmigrator.

Transmigrator = Protagonist.

Wasn't this a universally acknowledged fact?

This way, it was no longer certain who would survive the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Well... there was a small accident on the way, such as the group encountering Wangshu on the road.

When Wangshu heard Luohu's plan, how could she stand by? She was the first to step forward and wanted to go solo to kill Luohu.

Of course, there were other small accidents.

For example, after meeting Wangshu, the common Transmigrator's disease kicked in.

Transmigrator's Disease 1: Couldn't move when seeing a beautiful woman.

With all this back and forth, and Yang Mei's dawdling, it took a full thousand years to reach the West. lol.jpg

During the thousand years of travel, Yang Mei had always wanted to woo the goddess Wangshu, but the result was that his imagination of being a decrepit old man, emmm... was hard to describe.

In short, the goddesses of the Primordial World judged people by their appearance, and they didn't take a liking to their Old Ancestor Yang Mei at all, rather, they felt a little disgusted.

And during the journey, due to Yang Mei's image as a decrepit old man, Wangshu found Hongjun more and more pleasing to the eye.

A green-robed Daoist, Old Ancestor Hongjun.

Compared to this... without comparison, there was no harm.

Later, Yang Mei keenly discovered this and secretly complained that Wangshu judged people by their appearance.

However, his words belied his true feelings, and Yang Mei deliberately changed his appearance to that of a young man...

But how could the transformed appearance fool the Middle Guard Old Ancestors present? Yang Mei's actions not only made Wangshu even more disgusted, but even Old Ancestor Yin Yang and Old Ancestor Qiankun, who had been fellow Daoists for who knew how many kalpas, had strange expressions on their faces.

And then...

He had to give up.

"Damn it! Who said the girls in the Primordial World were easy to chase? Come out and stand before me!"

As he gave up, he was still complaining incessantly in his heart.
