In the depths of the boundless universe, chaotic light suffused the void, immortal mist coiled and drifted.
This universe was vast beyond measure, seemingly endless.
The mightiest beings took heaven and earth as their chessboard, transforming all things into the Dao.
Northern Darkness Calendar Year.
The North Abyss Dao Domain, one of the foremost Dao Domains among the Three Thousand Dao Domains. Legend had it that the North Abyss Dao Domain was connected to the mythical Immortal Realm.
Within a world where divine light surged and immortal mist curled through the air.
Divine Islands floated overhead, palaces gleamed brilliantly, and pavilions stood in dense rows.
This was the world where the Returning Origin Holy Land resided.
Once the strongest force in the North Abyss Dao Domain, it had never revealed its true foundations to the world throughout countless eras.
After the tempering of endless years, it was now merely one of the foremost powers, yet it was universally acknowledged as the force with the most mysterious foundations.
On the white jade plaza outside the Holy Land.
Countless people stood there at this moment. They were cultivators who had come in admiration, hoping to join the Returning Origin Holy Land.
Although the Returning Origin Holy Land was exceptionally strict in selecting disciples.
Once one entered it, it was truly one person attaining the Dao, chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.
Among the crowd stood a young man dressed in coarse clothes covered in patches, seemingly a child from an impoverished family.
His face was streaked with dirt, making him look somewhat grimy, yet his features remained remarkably handsome. With a fresh set of clothes, he would surely be a refined young master amid the dusty mortal world.
"This is..."
The young man looked around in confusion.
The surroundings before him were unfamiliar.
At that moment, streams of memories within his mind began gradually merging with him, and the confusion in the youth's eyes slowly gave way to clarity.
"So I transmigrated!"
In his previous life, he had been a Writer rushing to meet deadlines. He had stayed up night after night writing, until exhaustion overtook him. His vision went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he was here!
"This world reveres martial cultivation. The strong hold the sun and moon in their hands and pluck stars from the sky, while the weak can only be treated like pigs and dogs."
"The original owner's memories are somewhat vague. Su Changge was the Young Master of a fallen family. His parents disappeared when he was young, and there had been no news of them ever since."
"Later, the family was destroyed. Who knew how long he had wandered outside..."
"Why can't I remember the specific details of the family?"
Whenever Su Changge tried to recall the specific details of the family, his head would ache!
"Ugh! Even this body's memories are a mess!"
Moreover, judging by his current circumstances, he had neither an invincible background nor peerless talent. Even three meals a day were an extravagant hope.
Thinking of this, Su Changge could not help feeling even more despair toward life.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Drumbeats like thunder came from ahead, and the clamor immediately vanished.
The people in front began forming a long line.
At the end of the crowd stood an incomparably enormous Stone Tablet.
This Stone Tablet was clearly no ordinary object. It radiated an ancient, vast pressure.
The Heaven Suppressing Stele.
It was said to be one of the Returning Origin Holy Land's Supreme Treasures, capable of testing talent and comprehension.
Those with unparalleled talent even had the chance to become the Holy Son of the Returning Origin Holy Land.
After many people completed their tests.
Some did not even possess the talent to cultivate, while the highest comprehension so far had barely reached the level of an inner sect disciple.
"The talent of this batch of disciples is far too poor. Each generation is worse than the last."
"Ugh! The Holy Land produced a Ye Lintian. It must have used up all its luck!"
"Forget it. Let's finish early. This is just a waste of effort."
The elders could not conceal the disappointment on their faces.
"The Returning Origin Holy Land has been silent for too long. If this age still fails to produce someone capable of stirring the winds and clouds..."
"Then the Path to Immortality will ultimately remain nothing but a myth."
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in commotion.
"Quick, look! The Heaven Suppressing Stele is actually trembling!"
"Could some peerless talent have appeared?"
Boom!!
A dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky, as though it were stirring the winds and clouds of the nine heavens.
"This is?"
The elders hurriedly turned their gazes toward the source of the disturbance.
"Not bad. With such talent, she can become the new generation's Holy Daughter."
The elders looked toward the Stone Tablet with relieved smiles.
It was a woman.
She had a graceful figure, exquisite and unrivaled features, and an extraordinary, otherworldly temperament. She was likely from a great family.
Watching the direction where the crowd had erupted into excitement, Su Changge felt somewhat envious.
But then he remembered that he was a transmigrator. Perhaps his own talent would not be bad either?
He placed his hand on the Stone Tablet and focused his senses.
Yet after several breaths passed, there was not the slightest response!
This left Su Changge a little dumbfounded.
"I'm a transmigrator, at the very least. Is this really giving me no face at all?"
"You have no talent for cultivation. Next!" The elder impatiently drove Su Changge away.
Another person placed his hand on it, and before long, a blue pillar of light appeared!
He cast Su Changge a disdainful glance. "Really, all sorts of Cats and Dogs come here!"
Rumble—
Ten thousand thunderbolts flashed through Su Changge's heart. This was supposed to be a satisfying transmigration novel?
Was he sure this was not transmigrating straight into death?
"To think that I, a fantasy novel Writer, transmigrated into such a melodramatic world!"
When others transmigrated, did they not usually begin by being born into a top-tier family?
Where was his own family?
Could it be that the original owner had been thrown into the lower realm by some top-tier family to temper his Dao heart?
Or perhaps he could casually sign in and receive a peerless cultivation art and a peerless physique!
What about him? He had nothing!
"It's nothing more than the dying fantasy of a miserable novelist."
Feeling dejected, he turned around, intending to leave this place and seek another way out.
But at that moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
Ding! Heavenly Mandate Choice System activated. Detected that the host has entered the Three Thousand Dao Domains for the first time. A new mission will now be issued. Option One: Choose cultivation. Reward: cultivation raised to the Great Saint Realm. (Restriction: cultivation cannot be improved further for the next ten years.) Option Two: Choose a peerless cultivation art. Reward: Myriad Paths Reincarnation Art. Option Three: Choose an unparalleled physique. Reward: Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo.
Su Changge froze for a moment, then was overjoyed.
"Heavenly Mandate Choice System?"
"Just hearing the name, it sounds incredibly powerful!"
No matter how high one's cultivation was, without potential, one would eventually remain stuck in place. Besides, being restricted for ten years would waste too much time. How long would it take to become a Great Emperor then?
No matter how powerful a cultivation art was, without sufficient talent, it was nothing but an empty illusion.
Su Changge did not know much about the Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo, but as an unparalleled physique.
It was absolutely born in harmony with the Great Dao, with heart and Dao as one. It was practically born for the sake of proving the Dao.
With that thought, he decisively chose Option Three.
Ding! Option mission completed. Reward: Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo. Since this is the host's first use of the system, this system will grant an additional reward. The host's charm value has been raised to Immortal Grace. Detected that the host already possesses a first physique, the Fate Nihility Body. The Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo will become the second physique.
"Fate Nihility Body? What is that?"
Ding! The host's cultivation is too weak. This system cannot provide that information. Please continue improving your cultivation.
"My cultivation is too weak, so you can't tell me?"
"What kind of trash system is this? One-star review!"
Just as Su Changge's complaint fell.
All of a sudden.
A vast, sacred aura surged straight upward from Su Changge's body, and the pillar of light it formed seemed as if it would pierce through the heavens.
The winds and clouds of the nine heavens churned. Golden clouds filled the sky, while purple qi stretched for tens of thousands of miles.
Golden light continuously gathered into one golden phantom after another.
Divine beasts such as the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger rolled and emerged within the clouds and mist, their momentum shaking heaven and earth!
Dazzling golden light cascaded from the heavens, as though bestowing blessings upon all living beings.
Immortal light swirled in the skies, and phantoms of Gods and Devils appeared.
Some were wreathed in divine light, while others had Demon Qi sweeping across the heavens. The vast phantoms in the sky seemed ready to blot out heaven and earth!
All of them continuously kowtowed toward Su Changge!
Four Beasts Blessing!
Rosy clouds for ten thousand miles!
Gods and Devils Bow!
The scenes of heavenly phenomena appearing above the Returning Origin Holy Land were like a magnitude-ten earthquake across the North Abyss Dao Domain! Every major force erupted into uproar!
"Heavens, the Four Beasts have descended, and Gods and Devils bow their heads. Aren't such phenomena only possessed by the legendary Saintly Body?"
"Look at that direction—it's the Returning Origin Holy Land? Could some extraordinary figure have been born?"
"I think some incredible secret treasure has appeared instead?"
"Judging by that dense aura of laws, could it be a Saintly Body ranked among the top ten of the Three Thousand Dao Bodies?"
"..."
In the North Abyss Dao Domain, countless great figures from inherited Dao lineages were utterly astonished.
They had cultivated the Dao for countless years.
Yet they had never heard of nor seen such phenomena!
The Great Dao laws of the entire world were boiling.
Immortal light swirled, and laws permeated everything!
In the void, golden light filled the heavens, continuously intertwining with the phenomenon of laws radiating Five-Colored Divine Light. The spectacle was magnificent to the utmost extreme.
Some Supreme Elders deep within the Holy Land, who had been in seclusion, were awakened and emerged from seclusion at this moment.
Their figures swiftly tore through the air toward the mountain gate.
This heaven-shaking sight did not only stir the Returning Origin Holy Land. Many great figures from other major powers were also alarmed and came tearing through the air!
After all, throughout countless eras, such phenomena had been exceedingly rare!
