An invincible background? Refusing the system's binding right from the start!

"Holy shit, I transmigrated?!"

"And I'm the son of the God Emperor of the Eternal Ye Family, the strongest clan in all the heavens!"

Inside the main hall of the Eternal Ye Family, numerous elders gathered around a swaddled infant, cherishing him like a precious treasure, their eyes shining with affection.

Yet... they had no idea that towering waves were already crashing through the infant's heart, refusing to settle.

The infant was named Ye Tian, and he had transmigrated from a blue planet.

In his previous life, he had been a corporate slave squeezed dry by capitalists, working every sort of brutal schedule, from nine-to-nine, six days a week, to midnight-to-midnight, seven days a week.

Soul-snatching assembly lines, sunless factories fit for ghosts, rotating shifts that cycled between life and death—he forgot food and sleep until he had no words left. Overtime without extra pay, driving screws until his hands cramped.

Given a second life, Ye Tian made up his mind to slack off and lie flat. He would never grind again!

"Strange. Our patriarch is the reigning God Emperor, the strongest cultivator in the myriad worlds. Why does his child have only a Mortal Physique and mediocre aptitude?"

"Our patriarch is the reigning God Emperor, and his first wife, the Holy Mistress of the Jade Pool, is an unparalleled immortal beauty. By all rights, they shouldn't have produced such an ordinary child."

Two elders spoke in even tones.

"Hmph, so what if his aptitude is ordinary? Throughout history, brilliant talents have streaked past like shooting stars, but how many ever achieved a supreme name?"

"Our Eternal Ye Family rules all the heavens. What does it matter if our Young Master's aptitude is mediocre? What's wrong with living a happy life? Our Ye Family can protect him for his entire lifetime!"

"Besides, our Eternal Ye Family will always have a way to change the Young Master's constitution. If anyone dares disrespect him in the future, kill them without mercy!"

Several stern-faced elders voiced their rebukes. Gazing at Ye Tian, who looked like a porcelain doll, they adored him so much that they even wanted to plant a couple of kisses on him.

Mediocre aptitude? The Eternal Ye Family was more than capable of protecting him and ensuring he could swagger through all the Myriad Heavens and Worlds!

What good was having such extraordinary talent, anyway? Better to live out a happy life.

From the elders' conversations, Ye Tian gained a rough understanding of this new world.

This was the Eternal Immortal Domain, which encompassed the Three Thousand Dao Domains, all sorts of ancient perilous lands, and a universe of stars.

His Eternal Ye Family resided in Imperial Pole Province, within the Heavenly Profound Dao Domain.

The strong reigned supreme, and the weak lay prostrate. The strong devouring the weak was the only law!

But... that didn't seem to have anything to do with him!

"My lineage was already invincible before I was even born?"

"Is this really the script I get?"

The Eternal Ye Family he belonged to ruled the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, universally acknowledged as the strongest power, unchanging across countless ages.

His father, Ye Junlin, was the reigning God Emperor, the strongest cultivator in existence. There was no equal!

His mother, Yue Liuli, was the Holy Mistress of the Jade Pool. She controlled the Jade Pool and ruled countless small worlds, with thousands upon thousands of female disciples under her command, every one a beauty who could topple cities and kingdoms.

His older sister, Ye Qingxian, was the witch of the Primordial Forbidden Ground, peerlessly beautiful, a rarity throughout the heavens. Her talent was unrivaled beneath the sky—truly unrivaled—and she was the strongest of the younger generation!

There was also a maternal-side male cousin whose alchemy talent towered above past and present, a paternal-side male cousin with swordsmanship talent maxed out, a maternal-side female cousin whose breathtaking beauty was second only to his witch of a sister, and an Older Cousin who commanded the business world, with enterprises spanning all the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

And... any one of these family members, taken alone, was a textbook protagonist!

Just then, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully transmigrating, host. Binding the Invincible System..."

"Ding! Binding successful. This system will dedicate itself to helping the host reach the pinnacle, attain supremacy, and forge an invincible name!"

"As long as the host completes the tasks issued by the system, rewards will be granted. Failure will result in punishment!"

The system finished speaking, but no curiosity or questions came from its host.

Huh? This wasn't how the plot was supposed to go!

Wasn't the host supposed to be shocked or confused?

Why... wasn't its host giving it so much as a glance?

Hey, hey, hey! I'm a system! Could you show a little respect?

Looks like I'll have to offer some benefits!

"Ding! Congratulations on binding the system, host. A beginner's gift pack has been awarded. Would you like to open it?"

"Get lost already. Stop bothering me."

Ye Tian cursed inwardly. He was busy planning his grand strategy for lying flat, yet a system had come to bother him. What rotten luck.

[...]

The system was speechless, unsure what to say, but Ye Tian seized the initiative.

"Hey, so you're the one called a system?"

"Yeah, yeah, you. Hurry up and unbind. I'm going to lie flat, so don't even think about interfering with my grand slacking-off plan!"

"And what's with that whole reward-and-punishment mechanism? That stuff's outdated."

"Besides... my background is already invincible, and my old man is the strongest in all the heavens. What would I even need you for?"

That verbal barrage fried the system's CPU on the spot.

"Ding, ding, ding! Ding, ding, ding! System program malfunction!"

"Ding, ding, ding! The host's background is too overpowered. The system is unworthy. Initiating automatic self-destruction!"

"Ding, ding, ding! Self-destruction failed! Self-destruction failed!"

"Activating the second plan. System upgrading..."

Ye Tian's heart tightened, and he felt puzzled. Was the system going to upgrade after failing to destroy itself?

Whatever. As long as it didn't interfere with his slacking off and lying flat, he would let it be.

“Ding! System upgrade successful. Renamed the Idle-to-Invincible System!”

"As the name suggests, the host handles lying flat, and the system handles becoming invincible!"

"System upgraded. Unlimited automatic check-in mode activated!"

"Automatic check-ins can be performed anytime, anywhere, without even requiring the host's confirmation." ```

Ye Tian smiled inwardly. This system was pretty interesting. Not only had it upgraded itself, but it was even looking out for him. Unlimited check-ins without having to click to confirm—now that was comfortable.

“Ding! Automatic check-in. Congratulations, host. You have obtained: Double Pupils!”

“Ding! Automatic check-in. Congratulations, host. You have obtained: Immortal Bone!”

"Ding! Automatic check-in. Congratulations, host. You have obtained: the world's most handsome looks!"

"Ding! Automatic check-in. Congratulations, host. You have obtained: the strongest romantic luck in history!"

“Ding! Automatic check-in. Congratulations, host. You have obtained: the greatest cultivation art of all time, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art!”

The system notifications kept ringing as it continued checking in.

"I told you to unbind, but you went and upgraded instead. You just won't stop pestering me. Hmph."

"Fine, fine. As long as you don't interfere with my slacking off, do whatever you like."

"Turn off the check-in notifications. They're too loud. You're disturbing my sleep."

"Also... little system, those things you get from checking in? Put anything I don't need right now into the system storage. Don't fuse them with me. I want to lie flat!"

If anyone else had learned what Ye Tian was thinking, they would certainly have screamed, “Holy shit!” Their entire worldview would have shattered.

Just the few treasures obtained through the system's check-ins were among the finest in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, rarities beyond compare.

If an ordinary prodigy obtained even one or two of them, they would leap through the Dragon Gate like a fish, become a True Dragon, and suppress every enemy in the world.

Yet to Ye Tian, they were like worthless trash. He wasn't even willing to fuse with them.

Still... the system was fairly obedient. It immediately switched off the notifications for Unlimited Sign-In Mode and placed all the divine artifacts and treasures obtained from check-ins into the system storage.

Ye Tian was an infant now, so he ought to enjoy himself a little more. But just as he was preparing to drift into a deep sleep, towering waves of commotion swept through the hall.

"Where is my son?!"
