Deep within the endless universe, chaotic light spread and immortal mist swirled.
This universe was boundless, seemingly without end.
The mightiest used heaven and earth as their chessboard and transformed all things into the Dao.
Year 26850 of the North Abyss Calendar.
The North Abyss Dao Domain was among the foremost of the Three Thousand Dao Domains. Legends even claimed that it was connected to the mythical Immortal Realm.
Within a world where divine light gushed forth and immortal mist swirled.
Divine islands hung in the air, palaces shone magnificently, and towers and pavilions stood in dense ranks.
This was the world where the Returning Origin Holy Land resided.
Once the strongest power in the North Abyss Dao Domain, it had never revealed its true foundations to the world throughout countless eras.
After weathering countless years, it was now merely one of the foremost powers, yet its foundations were universally acknowledged as the most mysterious.
In the white jade plaza outside the holy land.
Countless people stood there, all cultivators who had come drawn by its reputation, hoping to join the Returning Origin Holy Land.
Although the Returning Origin Holy Land was extremely demanding in its selection of disciples.
Joining it could truly be described as one person attaining the Dao and even their chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.
Among the crowd was a young man dressed in patched hemp clothing, seemingly the child of a poor household.
Some dirt stained his face, making him look a little grubby, but his features were still exceptionally handsome. Surely, with a fresh set of clothes, he would be a graceful young gentleman in this turbid world.
"This is..."
The young man looked around blankly.
His surroundings were unfamiliar to him.
At that moment, streams of memories began to merge with him, and the confusion in the youth's eyes gradually gave way to clarity.
"So I transmigrated!"
In his previous life, he had been a writer racing to meet deadlines, staying up night after night to write. In the end, exhaustion had made his vision go black, and when he opened his eyes again, he was here!
"This world reveres the martial Dao. The strong hold the sun and moon in their hands and pluck the stars, while the weak can only be treated like pigs and dogs."
"The original owner's memories are a little blurry. Su Changge was the young master of a fallen lineage. His parents disappeared when he was young, and there's still been no word of them."
"Later, his lineage was wiped out, and he wandered outside for who knows how long..."
"Why can't I remember the specific details about the lineage?"
Whenever Su Changge tried to recall specific information about his lineage, his head would hurt!
"Ugh! Even this body's memories have problems!"
Moreover, judging by his current circumstances, he had neither an invincible background nor unparalleled talent. Even three meals a day were a luxury.
At this thought, Su Changge could not help feeling even more despair about life.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thunderous drumbeats came from ahead, and the clamor immediately vanished.
The crowd ahead began forming a long line.
At the end of the crowd stood an enormous stone stele.
The stele was no ordinary object, emanating an ancient, vast pressure.
The Heaven Suppressing Stele.
Rumored to be one of the Returning Origin Holy Land's supreme treasures, it could test talent and comprehension.
Those with unparalleled talent might even have the chance to become the Returning Origin Holy Land's Holy Son.
After many people had finished their tests.
Some did not even possess the talent to cultivate, and the highest comprehension so far had only barely reached the standard of an inner disciple.
"The talent of this batch of disciples is far too poor. Each generation is worse than the last."
"Alas! The holy land produced a Ye Lintian. That must have used up all its fortune!"
"Forget it. Let's finish early. This is just wasted effort."
Disappointment was plain on the elders' faces.
"The Returning Origin Holy Land has been silent for too long. If someone capable of stirring the winds and clouds still fails to appear in this lifetime."
"The Path to Immortality will remain nothing more than a myth."
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd.
"Look! The Heaven Suppressing Stele is actually trembling!"
"Could someone with unparalleled talent have appeared?"
Boom!!
A dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky, seemingly stirring the winds and clouds of the nine heavens.
"This is?"
The elders hurriedly turned their gazes toward the commotion.
"Excellent. With talent like this, she can become the next Holy Daughter."
The elders looked toward the stone stele with gratified expressions.
There stood a woman.
Her figure was graceful, her features exquisitely beautiful, and her bearing transcendent. She was probably from a great lineage.
Watching the direction where the crowd was in an uproar, Su Changge felt a little envious.
But then he remembered that he was a transmigrator. Perhaps his own talent was not bad either?
He placed his hand on the stone stele and focused on sensing it.
Yet several breaths passed without the slightest reaction!
This left Su Changge a little dumbfounded.
"I'm a transmigrator, at least. You won't even give me this much face?"
"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 a contemptuous glance at Su Changge. "Every stray cat and dog really does show up here!"
Rumble-
Ten thousand thunderclaps flashed through Su Changge's mind. This was supposed to be a wish-fulfillment transmigration story?
Was this not transmigrating to his death instead?
"To think that I, a fantasy novelist of my generation, would transmigrate into such a melodramatic world!"
When other people transmigrated, did they not at least start out born into a top-tier lineage?
Where was his lineage?
Surely the original owner had not been thrown into the lower realm by some top-tier lineage to temper his Dao heart?
Or perhaps they could casually check in once and receive a peerless cultivation art or a peerless constitution!
What about him? He had nothing!
"It's nothing but a wretched novelist's dying fantasy."
Somewhat dejected, he wanted to turn around, leave this place, and seek another way forward.
But just then, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Heavenly Mandate Choice System activated.] [Detected that the host has arrived in the Three Thousand Dao Domains for the first time. Issuing a new mission below.] [Option one: choose cultivation. Reward: cultivation raised to the Great Saint Realm. (Restriction: cultivation cannot be raised again for the next ten years.)] [Option two: choose a peerless cultivation art. Reward: Myriad Paths Reincarnation Art.] [Option three: choose an unparalleled constitution. Reward: Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo.]
Su Changge froze for a moment, then was overjoyed.
"Heavenly Mandate Choice System?"
"Just the name sounds powerful!"
No matter how high his cultivation was, without potential, he would ultimately be stuck in place. Besides, a ten-year restriction would waste far too much time. How long would it take him to become a Great Emperor then?
No matter how powerful a cultivation art was, without sufficient talent, it would amount to nothing.
Su Changge did not know much about the Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo, but it was an unparalleled constitution.
It would undoubtedly possess an innate affinity with the Great Dao, its heart united with the Dao. It was practically born to attain the Dao.
With that thought, he decisively chose option three.
[Ding! Choice mission completed. Reward: Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo. As this is the host's first time using the system, this system grants an additional reward. The host's charm value has been raised to immortal grace.] [Detected that the host already possesses a first constitution, the Fate Nihility Body. The Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo will become the second constitution.]
"Fate Nihility Body? What's that?"
[Ding! The host's cultivation is too weak. This system cannot disclose that information. Please continue raising your cultivation.]
"My cultivation is too weak for you to tell me?"
"What a lousy system. Bad review!"
Just as Su Changge finished complaining.
All of a sudden.
A vast, sacred aura surged straight up from Su Changge's body, forming a pillar of light that seemed poised to pierce the firmament.
Winds surged and Yun churned in the nine heavens. Golden clouds filled the sky, and purple qi stretched for tens of thousands of miles.
Golden light continuously gathered into golden phantoms.
Divine beasts such as the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger tumbled and manifested amid the clouds and mist, their might shaking heaven and earth!
Dazzling golden light spilled from the sky, seemingly bestowing blessings upon all living beings.
Immortal light also swirled through the sky, and phantoms of gods and devils appeared.
Some were wreathed in divine light, while others sent demon qi sweeping across the heavens. The vast host of phantoms in the sky seemed about to blot out the heavens and obscure the sun!
All of them repeatedly kowtowed to Su Changge!
Four Beasts Blessing!
Radiant clouds stretching ten thousand miles!
Gods and Devils Bow!
The Manifestations appearing above the Returning Origin Holy Land were like a magnitude-ten earthquake in the North Abyss Dao Domain! Every major power was thrown into an uproar!
"Heavens! Four Beasts Descent, Gods and Devils Bow! Aren't Manifestations like these something only the legendary saintly bodies possess?"
"Look at that direction. Is that the Returning Origin Holy Land? Could some extraordinary figure have been born?"
"I think some incredible secret treasure has appeared!"
"Look at that dense aura of laws. Could it be one of the top ten saintly bodies among the Three Thousand Dao Bodies?"
"..."
Across the North Abyss Dao Domain, the great figures of countless Dao lineages were utterly amazed.
They had cultivated the Dao for countless years.
Manifestations like these were simply unheard of and unseen!
The Great Dao laws of the entire world were seething.
Immortal light swirled, and laws suffused the air!
In the void, golden light filled the sky, continuously interweaving with the Manifestations of laws that radiated Five-Colored Divine Light. The scene was brilliant beyond compare.
Deep within the holy land, some Supreme Elders in secluded cultivation were startled awake, and all emerged from seclusion.
Their figures swiftly tore through the air toward the mountain gate.
Such a heaven-shaking spectacle alarmed not only the Returning Origin Holy Land but also many great figures from other major powers, all of whom came tearing through the air!
After all, throughout countless eras, Manifestations like these had been exceedingly rare!
