Spirit City, Pope Palace.
"My head hurts."
"I've transmigrated into the infamous Secret Room Douluo, Qian Xunji..."
The Aquarius transmigrator from Blue Star in 2026 had just finished receiving his predecessor's memories, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.
The cliché of getting hit by a speeding vehicle before starting a new life in another world.
Unlike most transmigrators, he had become a villain.
A villain who left the protagonist, Tang San, motherless from childhood and saddled him with the burden of raising his father.
A key figure in turning the ultimate villain, Bibi Dong, to darkness.
And a character who appeared only in other people's memories.
Appearing only in memories would have been bad enough.
But those memories were all about getting beaten, being locked away in a secret room and forced into love, and finally dying for it.
Fortunately, none of that had happened yet.
His unhappy future and short-lived life could still be changed.
Just thinking that the love-struck, ungrateful Bibi Dong wasn't his disciple yet eased Qian Xunji's gloomy mood.
What was the first thing to do after transmigrating to Douluo Continent?
Naturally, head to Sunset Forest and snatch the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
What were Immortal Herbs?
The foundation for becoming a god.
Those who failed to become gods would always be ants.
If your cultivation fell short of God King, you were just a chess piece with your name carved onto the board.
First, he'd set himself a small goal: become a God King and take control of his own fate.
To become a God King, he first had to go to Slaughter City, fight through the Hell Slaughter Arena, clear Hell Road, obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain, earn the Asura God Trial, pass the trial, and inherit the Godhood.
This was a clear path, and the one most likely to lead him to God King.
Of course, along the way, he'd have to watch out for the Rakshasa God bullying those weaker than her and interfering with sneak attacks. One wrong move, and he could lose his self-awareness and become the King of Slaughter.
[Chara~ Hello, human from Blue Star. I'm System-chan, the cute and lovable system every transmigrator needs.]
Ah, a system—the essential cheat for transmigrators.
What was a system?
A divine tool for defying fate.
As for why his system's virtual projection looked like a beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes, dressed in a black-and-red Gothic Lolita outfit, with a baby face and a voluptuous figure...
All he could say was, what a pity she wasn't real. Otherwise, he'd love to play a round of Happy Valentine's Day with the system.
The system would be on top, and he'd be on the bottom.
"Hello, System Mother."
[Human, how can you call me Mother the moment you meet me?]
[Oh, whatever. Call me what you like.]
"System Mother, won't you introduce yourself?"
[Human, do you mean the system's functions?]
[I'm just a cute and lovable System-chan. I don't have any invincible abilities.]
[I only have a super-large System Space, a System Map, System Appraisal, and monthly sign-in rewards.]
"System Mother, do I get a transmigrator starter pack?"
[Of course.]
[The transmigrator starter pack has been placed in the System Space.]
[The system needs to rest and recharge. Good night, human.]
With that, the system slipped into Qian Xunji's Mental Sea of Consciousness and fell asleep.
There was nothing to complain about. He was lucky enough to have a system take a liking to him and give him a transmigrator starter pack. He ought to be grateful.
One shouldn't be too greedy. Those who were content were always happy.
Qian Xunji opened the system starter pack.
[Side-Effect-Free Spirit Ring Deprivation Cards × 9.]
[High-Tier Bloodline Deprivation Cards × 10.]
[Martial Soul Transformation Card × 1.]
[Quasi-God Cultivation 30-Minute Experience Card × 1.]
[100,000 tons of food.]
A hundred thousand tons of food, with a choice of dishes and flavors. What a treasure.
As everyone knew, Douluo Continent was a fantasy novel wearing the skin of an online game.
Fantasy novels were often set in medieval Europe.
White people's food was already awful, and medieval white people's food was terrifying beyond belief.
With these hundred thousand tons of food, he'd never have to worry about eating dark cuisine every day again.
He immediately pulled out a chilled bottle of Coconut Palm coconut milk and took a drink.
That was the taste. "Delicious."
As the name suggested, the Side-Effect-Free Spirit Ring Stripping Card could strip away one's own Spirit Rings.
It was a useful item, but he had no use for it for now.
Besides, apart from some time- and space-based abilities, he wasn't very interested in Spirit Ring or Soul Bone Skills.
Only lazy weaklings relied on powerful Spirit Rings and Soul Bone Skills.
The High-Tier Bloodline Deprivation Card could take the bloodline origins from other people or Spirit Beasts.
For instance, if he used one on Tang San and stripped away his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would truly be nothing more than Blue Silver Grass, instead of a Blue Silver Crown Prince destined to inherit the throne.
This was a good item. Once Tang San was born, he'd trip him up with it.
The Martial Soul Transformation Card did exactly what its name suggested: it could change the appearance of a Martial Soul.
After using it, he could even turn a Clear Sky Hammer into Clear Sky Dog-Tail Grass.
But Qian Xunji didn't intend to use his one and only Martial Soul Transformation Card on Tang San.
His predecessor's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had degenerated and lost its wings. It was incomplete.
As for using the Martial Soul Transformation Card to grow six wings, he wasn't interested.
A Tool Martial Soul could evolve into a divine artifact.
Clever Qian Xunji went straight to work, using the Martial Soul Transformation Card to remodel the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Using Emperor Armor as his reference, he gave his Martial Soul armor that covered his whole body and a weapon of its own.
Whether it was strong depended on the person.
But being handsome was a lifelong pursuit.
He summoned Martial Soul Possession, standing atop eight Spirit Rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.
The Martial Soul was still, at its core, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, but its appearance after possession was worlds apart.
When he looked in the mirror, the reflection was incredibly handsome.
Qian Xunji thought, Isn't this far more charming than a female Angel Spirit?
Fully armored with his face hidden, and a sword in hand—his looks were unbeatable.
And with that Quasi-God Cultivation Experience Card, he'd be both handsome and powerful.
In a good mood, he packed his things and headed out.
As for becoming the Pope of Spirit Hall and spending all day buried beneath mountains of paperwork...
He'd been a 996 corporate drone before transmigrating. Was he supposed to become a 007 workhorse afterward, too?
In a world where the strong ruled, sensible people focused on cultivation and pursued greater heights.
Only idiots with water in their brains stayed in the office every day, processing paperwork.
"Your Holiness, the Great Enshrined wishes to see you."
He had just slipped out of the office when a Palace Guard Knight came rushing over to report.
"What does Qian Daoliu want with me?" Qian Xunji wondered.
As a transmigrator, he didn't want to meet his predecessor's father.
With a 30-minute Quasi-God experience card in hand, he wasn't afraid of being exposed and suppressed.
The main reason he didn't want to see Qian Daoliu was that the man had a whole pile of brainless plans that made you want to punch him.
As a normal person, he didn't want to spend too much time around fools.
He was genuinely afraid that if he stayed around them too long, he'd be influenced and turn into an idiot himself. That would be the end of him.
So Qian Xunji didn't head to the Worship Hall to meet Qian Daoliu. Instead, he quickened his pace toward Spirit City's gates.
He didn't intend to tell anyone about the Immortal Herb opportunity at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest.
The enshrined elders of Spirit Hall were powerful, but their thinking was flawed.
If he had Immortal Herbs to spare, Qian Xunji wouldn't mind using them to nurture the enshrined elders' descendants.
But giving Immortal Herbs to the enshrined elders themselves? No, thank you.
Once he got the Soul Core Condensation Method from the system, he'd make sure they cultivated it.
