Lin Xuan woke from a sleep, and the sight before him left him dumbfounded.
He found himself lying atop a Fusang Tree.
Rumble...
A flood of memories surged into his mind, nearly bursting his head apart.
"What's going on?! The Fusang Secret Realm, Father Emperor, Second Uncle..."
"I actually... transmigrated?!"
"I took over the body of the Primordial World's Demon Race Great Golden Crow Crown Prince?!"
After merging with those memories, Lin Xuan could not help widening his eyes.
Then, he lowered his gaze to his own body.
A pair of solemn, noble wings gleaming with golden light spread from his back. Three dark-gold claws grew from his abdomen, radiating a sharpness that seemed capable of tearing apart the heavens.
Without a doubt, he had become a Three-legged Golden Crow.
Yet there was no joy on Lin Xuan's face. Instead, he turned deathly pale.
Demon Race Crown Prince!
That was an incomparably noble status.
But having come from Blue Star and spent years as an avid webnovel reader, he knew that among the Primordial Demon Race's Ten Great Golden Crow Crown Princes, aside from the tenth, Lu Ya, the other nine had all been shot dead.
Clearly, the body he had taken over was not Lu Ya's, but Bo Huang's—the eldest of the Ten Great Golden Crow Crown Princes.
"No, I have to change my fate!" Lin Xuan secretly resolved.
Given a second life, he did not want to die helplessly and weakly as he had in his previous one.
Lin Xuan roared inwardly, Becoming an office drone to a crown prince is pretty great, but... which bastard arranged this transmigration? Where's my system?
Just as he roared inwardly, a voice rang out. "Ding! Your Invincible Son-in-Law System has gone online. Would you like to bind it?"
Lin Xuan was instantly dumbfounded. "I'm a Golden Crow Crown Prince, for fuck's sake. You're giving me a son-in-law system? Are you kidding me?"
The system said, "Just tell me whether you're binding it or not. The Son-in-Law System is for your own good. Let me ask you a question: in your previous life, you were an office drone and met plenty of people. Tell me, what is the greatest benefit of marrying a wife? Name one benefit, and I'll give you an Innate Spiritual Treasure *^_^*. But if you're not speaking from the heart, your primordial spirit will be annihilated. Want to gamble?"
Lin Xuan began pondering. Uh ⊙?⊙! After a long silence, he said, "A son-in-law it is, then. You'd better not screw me over. Bind the system."
The system said, "Don't worry. This system never screws people over. Ding! Host successfully bound to the system. Reward: Ancestor Dragon's Quasi-Saint Peak Dragon Soul (pending hatching), Chaos Golden Crow Origin Inheritance."
Upon receiving the inheritance, scarlet light instantly flared around Lin Xuan, and the temperature around him rose sharply, leaving his Nine Younger Brothers staring in shock.
Zhong Lang, Shu Kun, Ji Xing, Xian Rui, Lu Jun, Ya Qiong, De Shen, Ren Jing, and You Wen—the nine Golden Crows—surrounded their eldest brother with baffled expressions.
Zhong Lang said, "Brothers, Big Brother seems to have a fever. What should we do?"
You Wen chirped, "Second Brother, you're the one with a fever... Think about it—we're Golden Crows. Though we were only born recently, we're still at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. How could we get fevers?"
Lu Jun said, "Then, Little Ten, why is Big Brother's body so hot?"
You Wen said, "I reckon he's about to break through *^_^*. Big Brother really is Big Brother. Even his breakthroughs give us a scare."
Before long, misty spiritual aura covered Lin Xuan's body as he assumed a Daoist form. "Keep it up, brothers. Your big brother is entering the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm first." Then he secretly thought, System, you'd better not screw me over. From today onward, my name is Bo Huang.
"Ding! Congratulations on your breakthrough. As a Golden Crow Crown Prince, you should naturally secure a way out for the Demon Race. The Witch-Demon War is now beginning to show signs of brewing. The first mission is now issued: marry into Mount Kunlun. Reward: the Innate Spiritual Treasure, Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus." The system's voice sounded at that moment.
System, are you kidding me? Marry into Mount Kunlun? I can't even leave this secret realm... Besides, what if the Witch Clan catches me once I'm out there? Bo Huang replied silently.
"Ding! As a system, I will naturally provide the host with a novice protection period. A Realm-Breaking Shuttle has been prepared for you in the System Space. Oh, and Shangqing Palace currently has only three personal disciples: Duobao, Jin Ling, and Wudang. As for how you'll win them over, that's up to you." After saying that, the system fell silent.
Bo Huang thought, With my nine younger brothers watching me, it won't be easy to slip away. Besides, they're all Golden Immortals, so they aren't suited to going out.
At that thought, Bo Huang said, "Golden Crow Fire scorches the heavens; the blazing red sun hangs high in the sky.
It burns the heavens and boils the seas, sending waves soaring high; the earth is scorched, and grass and trees wither.
Golden Crow Fire cannot be resisted; it burns all things and reveals the truth.
All things between heaven and earth perish, and a new world begins anew. This is an insight I gained from advancing to the Taiyi realm this time. You may cultivate according to it."
