"Where... am I?"
Tongtian slowly regained consciousness, only to discover that nothing remained of him but his primordial spirit.
All around him seemed to be the ruins of a battlefield, where all manner of decayed, broken spirit treasures had lost every last trace of spiritual energy!
An enormous purple gourd lay quietly before Tongtian.
Tongtian gently reached out and touched the gourd. Suddenly, the entire thing turned into a cloud of ash and vanished completely.
He could not sense his physical body at all, nor could he draw upon any of his cultivation or magical power.
Tongtian felt as though he had fallen into a land of certain death.
"Luohu, are you there?"
Though he felt it was unlikely, Tongtian still tried calling out to Luohu.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out within his primordial spirit!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on triggering the God-Tier Great Dao Choice System!" "Choice one: Explore the battlefield ruins before you, cultivate and attain enlightenment, and obtain the complete Sword Dao inheritance. Reward: a Primordial Chaos Realm External Incarnation that retains all the host's power and cultivation realm and possesses an independent consciousness!" "Choice two: Give up and wait for death. Everything you have obtained will be devoured and stripped away by the system, then passed on to the next host!"
Tongtian froze for a moment.
"The system? Holy shit, you're still here!"
Tongtian was astonished; it had been so long since he had last heard a system notification!
Unlike the system's previous choices, this time it had essentially offered no choice at all. If he did not work hard at cultivating, he could only wait for death!
Besides, the rewarded Primordial Chaos Realm External Incarnation most likely could not appear here alongside his primordial spirit.
"Choice one!"
