Transmigrating into Battle Through the Heavens, Arriving at Medusa's Island

The towering, scorching sun stood high in the firmament, bathing the golden desert in light. The sweltering climate was unbearable for ordinary people, as if they were trapped inside a furnace. Vast stretches of yellow sand churned, whipping up one sandstorm after another.

Deep within the desert, a majestic and grand city stood on the horizon. It resembled an ancient, colossal beast with its blood-red maw agape, endlessly devouring the Snake-people and the supplies they carried in and out.

On the ramparts, squads of Snake-people guards, dressed in light yet refined gear, patrolled constantly. Their gazes were cold and sharp, sweeping over the Snake-people entering and exiting the Temple City like keen blades; no disguise could escape their eyes.

Yet, deep within the central palace of the Temple City, the scene was entirely different, a world apart from the outside.

What met the eye was a clear lake with shimmering ripples, the temperature significantly cooler than the outside world. In the center of the lake lay a small island, though there were no bridges or paths leading to it.

The island was not large, planted everywhere with lush bamboo, trees, and various flowers. It looked vibrant and quite beautiful.

In the center of the island sat a pool, surrounded by nine fourth-tier ice-attribute magic cores, forming an artificial cold pool. Frigid air permeated the area, wreathed in white mist.

Vaguely, one could see a graceful, voluptuous figure soaking in the cold pool, enjoying the chill of the water.

Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared, followed by a figure falling from the sky and crashing into the flowerbed beside the cold pool, startling the person inside into jumping up abruptly and splashing water everywhere.

"Who!"

A roar filled with majesty and icy coldness rang out. As the water settled, the graceful, voluptuous body revealed its true form.

It was an incredibly beautiful snake-woman, stunning to the extreme, enchanting and mature—no, she was a Queen!

Her three thousand strands of blue silk, dampened by water droplets, hung down and emitted a pleasant, faint fragrance. Her exquisite, oval face was fair and delicate, without a single flaw. Her features were breathtaking, her dark brows slightly furrowed, and her phoenix eyes revealed a trace of fury. Her white jade-like nose exhaled wisps of cold air; it was clear she was very dissatisfied with the person who had suddenly interrupted her rest.

Queen Medusa slowly slithered out of the cold pool, revealing her hot, voluptuous, and enchanting mature body. Her heavy, bountiful, and rounded assets were wrapped in red chest armor, standing tall and proud. Her waist was slender and slim, her skin as white as jade, and her purple snake tail swayed along with her peach-like, perky buttocks, radiating a wild and exotic charm that was extremely alluring.

When she saw the intruder, a flash of surprise crossed her beautiful eyes.

Lying in the flowerbed was a fair-skinned young man who appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, completely naked, his eyes tightly shut as he remained in a coma.

Although she did not know how he had broken through the restrictions she had set to enter the island, Medusa was very annoyed now and didn't care about such details.

She lightly raised her jade hand, Dou Qi condensing. A bright red palm print shot out from her hand, incomparably scorching, causing the air to distort. It slammed toward the man, intending to crush him into meat paste and turn him into fertilizer for the flowers.

But just as the Dou Qi palm print was about to land on the man, a dazzling, blinding white light emerged, forming a protective barrier that shielded him and blocked the palm print.

"What?!"

Medusa was quite astonished to see this.

Inside the man's mind, a cold, mechanical voice rang out.

[Ding~ Detected that the host is in a coma and under attack by an external enemy. Passive ten-fold counterattack activated. Remaining counterattacks: 2.]

A bright red palm print, identical to the previous one, condensed, but its power was ten times greater than what Medusa had unleashed. Before she could react, the palm print swept across!

It was so fast that even Medusa, at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm, could not react. The palm slammed heavily into her chest, instantly sending her flying. Her voluptuous body traced a perfect parabola in the air before crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Puff!!"

As the dust settled, Medusa lay on the ground in a wretched state, spitting out blood. Her phoenix eyes were filled with shock, and her face had turned deathly pale. She felt as if all her internal organs had been displaced, and a stream of Dou Qi—one she was intimately familiar with but could not control—was rampaging through her body. Her entire body felt intense pain, as if it were about to fall apart.

Too shaken to think, Medusa struggled to stand up. She took a fifth-tier healing pill from her Storage Ring, quickly swallowed it, and closed her beautiful eyes, simultaneously refining the medicinal power and suppressing the rampaging Dou Qi in her body, multitasking.

At this moment, the man who had been in a coma heard the system's notification in his mind and reacted, his eyelids twitching as he gradually regained consciousness.

"Ugh..."

Gu Shenge opened his eyes and looked at the strange and bizarre ceiling, a flash of confusion crossing his face.

He struggled to lift his body from the ground and looked around. His expression gradually changed, from confusion to astonishment, and then to horror.

Where was this?

Gu Shenge remembered that he had been "cleaved" by his girlfriends working together. Could this be the underworld? But it didn't look like it.

[Ding~ Detected that the host has awakened. Based on the host's current situation, the Novice Gift Pack has been issued. Please check it.]

Gu Shenge: "What?"

The next second, information regarding the system was transmitted into Gu Shenge's brain.

The system didn't have a complex name; it was simply called "System." By a stroke of fate, it had chosen Gu Shenge, who had been "cleaved" by his girlfriends, to help him reshape his body and randomly travel to other worlds.

Because the system had once suffered heavy damage, most of its functions were shut down, leaving only four functions still operational.

They were [Lottery], [System Store], [Marry Wives and Take Concubines], and [Time-Space Travel].

[Lottery]: One can obtain all things in the heavens through the lottery. It is divided into seven grades, from low to high: Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven, God, Saint, and Chaos.

The system automatically rewards one Yellow-grade lottery draw every month. Ten draws can be synthesized into a higher-grade lottery, limited to Heaven-grade and below, and can be exchanged using Origin Points.

[System Store]: Through the store, one can use Origin Points to purchase everything in the world where the host is located.

[Marry Wives and Take Concubines]: Once the host becomes husband and wife with a female living being, or takes one as a concubine, the system will provide rewards to the host based on the other party's various conditions, and will also provide a dowry to the other party.

Wives and concubines are also divided into ranks: Primary Wife, Equal Wife, Noble Concubine, Good Concubine, and Poor Concubine.

Different ranks provide different dowries.

[Time-Space Travel]: Consuming varying amounts of Origin Points, the system will take the host to travel to different worlds, either randomly or specifically.

After accepting the system's information, Gu Shenge knew he had traveled to the Battle Through the Heavens world, and most importantly, his landing spot was Medusa's island.

Medusa had also been seriously injured by the system's passive ten-fold counterattack and was healing not far away.

"System, can we make a deal? Can you give me a set of clothes to wear first?"

Looking at his reshaped, stark-naked body, Gu Shenge immediately communicated with the system; putting aside everything else, he needed a set of clothes first.

[Ding~ The Novice Gift Pack contains what the host desires.]

Hearing this, Gu Shenge moved his mind and retrieved the Novice Gift Pack from the System Space, opening it up.

Aside from a set of clothes, the Novice Gift Pack also contained ten thousand Origin Points, a pill the size of a dragon's eye that looked as flawless as white jade, marked with nine Pill Patterns and radiating a Pill Glow, as well as a cluster of emerald-green light.

Gu Shenge hurriedly put on the clothes and turned his gaze toward the pill and the emerald-green light, as information about them appeared in his mind.

[Name: Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill]

[Description: A Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill produced by the system, capable of helping a Dou Emperor break through to a Dou Ancestor with a one hundred percent success rate, without any side effects.]

--

[Name: Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils]

[Description: An ocular talent capable of forcibly forming a one-sided connection with snake-type magical beasts, thereby controlling them. It can also store them within a space opened by the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to slowly absorb their cultivation, though the absorption speed depends on one's own strength, and the size of the space also changes with one's strength.]

After reading the descriptions of the two items, Gu Shenge finally understood why the system said the Novice Gift Pack was issued based on his current environment.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were meant for dealing with Medusa! The system was too considerate!
