He had transmigrated—and become the "Heavenly Dao," no less. More precisely, the Plane Will. Impressive, right?
But this was the goddamn Douluo Continent, during the era of The Unrivaled Tang Sect at that, and that damned God King Tang already had his eye on this position.
The original Plane Will had brought forth Huo Yuhao, a Child of Luck. Who could have imagined that God King Tang would use his own daughter as bait and hook him like a fish?
The result was that the original Plane Will had exploded with rage, and the transmigrator Tang Yi had arrived to take the fall.
Tang Yi watched the core disciple assessment underway at Shrek Academy, along with Huo Yuhao, who was already bound to Wang Dong, and sighed.
"Forget it. There's no saving this. I'll just lie flat and wait to die!"
All the destiny had been given to Huo Yuhao. Now he could only observe, with absolutely no way to intervene.
[Ding-Game System at your service, dedicated to creating a game exclusively for you.]
Hearing this sudden voice, Tang Yi immediately perked up.
"A system! Systems really are standard issue for transmigrators. They certainly live up to their reputation. System, introduce yourself. What abilities do you have?"
[This is the Game System. A matching game framework can be custom-built based on the host's current environment. Begin integration?]
"Integrate. Start integrating immediately."
[Integration in progress... Integration complete. New game, "Peerless Tang Clan: Awakening," generated. Begin advertising and recruiting the first batch of players?]
"Wait, recruiting players? Does that mean what I think it means? The Fourth Calamity!"
[The host's understanding is correct. Begin recruiting players?]
"Yes, start recruiting players."
[You have begun advertising in the neighboring world. The first batch will recruit 21 players. Please wait patiently.]
Pop-up advertisements for the game "Peerless Tang Clan: Awakening" suddenly appeared on the internet in the neighboring world.
"Want to know what kind of martial soul you possess?"
"Want to take part in a familiar storyline?"
"Want to see the characters and beauties from the story with your own eyes?"
"Come awaken your martial soul in the game. All of the above can come true."
Most people naturally closed little ads like these on sight.
Some chose to enter the game to see what sort of thing it was.
But for most, selecting it did nothing. Only a single message popped up.
[All slots are full. Please wait for the next opportunity.]
"What is this bullshit? What a waste of time!"
There were 21 lucky people whose consciousnesses were pulled into the The Unrivaled Tang Sect world by the system the moment they chose to enter the game.
Tang Yi looked at the 21 clusters of light before him and muttered to himself, "These are my players? System, what do I do next?"
[Please set up an Awakening Hall, complete the players' martial soul awakenings, then designate a spawn point and assign quests.]
"Doesn't that make me an NPC? What do I get out of it?"
[Players changing the established storyline and making top-ups can be converted into Fortune Points for the host. Fortune Points can change the host's current unfavorable circumstances.]
"Did you say top-ups? Great, now we've got something to play with. Set up the Awakening Hall."
[Executing...]
When the 21 lucky people regained consciousness, they found themselves inside a magnificent, resplendent hall.
Among them were 11 men and 10 women. They were all rather bewildered, unsure what was happening, until the system's voice sounded in their minds.
[Welcome, players!]
"Players? Right, I remember now. I clicked a damned pop-up game ad."
"Are we sure this is just a game and not transmigration? Why does it feel so real?"
"Exactly. I pinched myself just now, and even the pain felt completely real."
The 21 people began discussing it, and in the blink of an eye, the hall grew noisy.
At this point, Tang Yi appeared in the guise of the NPC responsible for awakening martial souls.
"Quiet. Chosen ones, please come forward to awaken your martial souls."
Hearing that they could awaken their martial souls, every last one of them rushed forward.
"Please line up, or you will be disqualified from the game."
Hearing that they might be disqualified, the players immediately stopped making a fuss and obediently lined up.
The first player stepped into the awakening formation, filled with excitement. While he was still wondering what badass martial soul he might awaken, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
[Please enter an ID.]
"Tang San?"
[Invalid ID. Please enter another.]
"Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior?"
[ID confirmed. Congratulations, player Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior. Martial soul awakened: Blue Silver Grass. Quality: white. Starting level: 10. Starting soul ring: yellow. Starting soul skill: Binding.]
"Blue Silver Grass? The same as Tang San? Starting level 10—do I have innate full soul power too?"
NPC Tang Yi cleared his throat softly. "Ahem. Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior, your awakening is complete. Please leave the awakening formation."
Hearing the ID Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior, some of the players behind him could not help laughing.
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior did not feel embarrassed either. It was just a game.
The people behind him also awakened their martial souls one after another. Everyone started at level 10, with a yellow soul ring and one soul skill.
The only difference was martial soul quality. From lowest to highest, martial soul quality had six grades: white, yellow, purple, black, red, and gold.
The Blue Silver Grass awakened by Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior, the first to awaken, was a martial soul of the lowest grade, white.
Among these 21 people, a lucky girl with the ID I Am an Angel actually awakened a Two-Winged Angel, a black-quality martial soul.
"Martial soul awakening is complete. Do any of you players have questions?"
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "I don't like my current martial soul. Can I choose again?"
"By spending Fate Coins, you can awaken your martial soul again. You can also reroll martial soul quality separately. The reroll results are random."
I Am an Angel: "How do we get Fate Coins? Can soul rings and soul skills be changed too?"
"Fate Coins must be obtained through top-ups. Please check the system yourselves for the exchange rate and individual costs."
"Quest issued: Reclaim the sect grounds."
"Death penalty during the quest: none."
"Quest rewards: level +1, unlock the sect reputation system."
After Tang Yi finished issuing the quest, a white light flashed, sending all 21 players out of the Awakening Hall.
Their spawn point had been set at the entrance to the Ironblood Sect in Heaven Dou City, formerly the Tang Sect.
[The pain system has been uniformly set to 5%. Players who wish to increase or decrease it should adjust it themselves.] [Welcome, players, to your official entry into the game.]
Coming back to their senses, the 21 players began chattering again.
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "The quest wants us to reclaim the sect grounds. Does that mean attacking this place?"
Invincible Divine Shield: "The Ironblood Sect. I know this place. They stole the Tang Sect's territory in the story, and Tang Ya eventually wiped them out."
I Am an Angel: "Then doesn't that mean we're members of the Tang Sect?"
Primordial One: "Why worry about all that? Just get on with it. The system said there's no death penalty during the quest anyway."
Just then, the Ironblood Sect's gates opened, and several hostile-looking fellows ran out.
