Chapter 1: Where the heck am I?
In September 1st, 2026, a Floating Continent suddenly appeared above the Pacific Ocean, at an altitude of about ten thousand meters, with an area of about one million square kilometers, entirely shrouded in a fog sphere, and a phantom of a Heavenly Palace existed above the fog sphere.
This sudden and huge change caused a global shock, and various countries sent airships, UAVs, and so on, trying to get in, but they all failed.
Various countries could only have their troops stay in the nearby sea area, preparing for subsequent exploration, striving to land first.
But what they didn’t know was that at the moment the Floating Continent appeared, there was already a lucky survivor of a plane crash who had fallen into it and “landed” in advance.
……
“Ouch, ouch, ouch.”
Qi Xuan sat up, feeling pain all over his body, as if he had been trampled by a herd of rhinoceros.
Fortunately, there were no obvious external injuries, just a very uncomfortable feeling, and he would recover after a little activity.
Taking advantage of the activity, he looked around, and his expression slowly changed from suspicion to shock, and finally to a daze:
“What the hell is this place?”
Speaking of where he was now, it should be a forest.
But the trees in this forest were too thick, weren’t they?
Just one tree could be embraced by four or five people.
It might not have grown so thick even after a hundred years.
And the form of this tree was very strange, with one side of the trunk black and the other side white, the black side’s branches and leaves were all black, and the white side’s branches and leaves were all white, the two were clearly distinct and did not interfere with each other.
If it was just one tree like this, it’s just a gene mutation, a principle that even elementary school students understand.
But if every tree was like this, could it be that everyone had mutated?
After pondering for a long time, Qi Xuan came to a conclusion:
“So I transmigrated.”
This conclusion was not made casually.
Besides the strange Yin and Yang trees around him, the most crucial point was that he saw four pale suns floating in the sky—it couldn’t be that three more suns had appeared in the solar system overnight, and Hou Yi wouldn’t allow it.
And before he transmigrated, he had just encountered a plane crash, the plane was uncontrollably falling downwards, a terrifying blue thunderstorm was rushing towards him, and then he knew nothing.
Now he was standing here safe and sound, full of life, you say I didn’t transmigrate?
Could it be that the plane crash in my memory was fake?
According to normal logic, it must have been that terrifying thunderstorm that accidentally split open some space-time tunnel, throwing him over here, and he fell head over heels.
That’s why he felt sore all over after waking up.
After confirming that he had transmigrated, Qi Xuan wasn’t happy at all, but instead felt more worried.
In web novels, there are often readers who are sticklers for the rules, criticizing soul transmigration, saying that body transmigration is the way to go, because soul transmigration’s body belongs to someone else, it’s like wearing a green hat for oneself.
After a little thought, there was indeed some truth to it.
But now that he had body transmigrated, he found that it was all bullshit.
Body transmigration meant absolute unfamiliarity.
He now knew nothing about the structure of this world, not to mention the customs, systems, and social structures, even the most basic worldview was completely blank.
Is this place low-level martial arts or high-level martial arts?
Is it urban or fantasy?
Are humans at the top of the food chain, or are humans being hunted by various parties?
Are there ghosts and monsters about to revive, or are there aliens about to invade?
……
He didn’t know any of these questions.
Of course, it didn’t matter if he didn’t know those big aspects for the time being.
Take the present for example, if he met the local natives, without understanding the local language, he couldn’t even communicate with the other party.
Even if he gestured for help, the other party might think he was being offensive and kill him on the spot—not to mention the Otherworld, there are such cases on Blue Star.
Of course, if he could meet the natives, it would be a good thing, at least it could prove that there were indeed his kind living in this place.
The most terrifying thing was that he was alone, deep in the endless dense forest, and never met anyone else until he died of old age.
“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.”
The sound from his stomach interrupted Qi Xuan’s thoughts.
In an instant, a violent feeling of hunger seized all his consciousness.
Looking around, a hint of despair couldn’t help but appear in Qi Xuan’s eyes:
“Am I going to starve to death here?”
If he was on Blue Star, even if he got lost in the forest, with common sense and experience, he would probably know what things could be eaten and what things couldn’t be eaten.
But in this completely unfamiliar Otherworld forest, heaven knows which things would kill people if eaten?
Maybe eating a couple of bites of the Yin and Yang tree’s bark would be the end of him.
But he was now hungry and thirsty, feeling like he hadn’t eaten for three days, and he thought the Yin and Yang tree looked delicious and attractive.
“First, find water.”
“If I don’t drink water, I’ll die of thirst.”
Qi Xuan started to act in a hurry.
Fortunately, he hadn’t gone far when he saw a shallow puddle in the forest, and he didn’t know if it had accumulated from the rain recently, but it looked quite clean.
Qi Xuan couldn’t care less, and under the hunger and thirst, he rushed over and drank like a cow, drinking his fill on the spot.
Touching his stomach, he sat down on the ground, feeling like he had come back to life, and the whole person became much more comfortable.
But Qi Xuan knew that this was just a false illusion.
Without eating, he couldn’t fill his stomach just by drinking water.
He still had to find a way to find something to eat.
But who would tell me what things can be eaten?
“System?”
Qi Xuan tentatively asked.
“I’m here.”
“Damn, when did you come?”
Qi Xuan was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
“When you encountered the plane crash.”
“I see.”
Qi Xuan suddenly understood, and then became excited:
“I knew it, I transmigrated, how could I not have a system?”
After saying that, he looked expectantly and asked:
“Do you have a newbie gift pack?”
“Yes.”
As the voice fell, a virtual gift pack appeared in front of him, a round, red lucky bag shape, with a festive red color overall, and a 【 and 】 written on it in golden font.
“It’s like celebrating the New Year.”
Qi Xuan rubbed his hands and happily clicked on the gift pack.
With a bang, the gift pack exploded like fireworks, bursting out three Light Balls.
Qi Xuan touched the first Light Ball.
“You have obtained a one-cubic-meter Personal Space.”
“Note: Can be expanded according to personal strength.”
In an instant, Qi Xuan sensed a hazy gray space on his right side.
Although he couldn’t see it or touch it, he could sense it, and this feeling was quite wonderful.
He tried to put his pants in, and then put his pants back.
Put them in, and then put them back.
Quickly put them in, quickly put them out.
“It seems it will be convenient to go to the toilet in the future.”
Qi Xuan was excited.
Although one cubic meter wasn’t big, it could still hold a lot of things, greatly reducing his burden, and in the future, it could even help him carry heavy objects, directly reducing the difficulty of his survival in the forest by more than one level.
And this Personal Space could still be expanded.
If he had had ten thousand cubic meters of space back then, he wouldn’t have had the plane crash, he could have just put the plane in directly.
He couldn’t do it before, but it might not be the case in the future.
Qi Xuan then touched the second Light Ball.
“You have obtained the 《 Encyclopedia of Creature Mineral Spiritual Item》.”
In an instant, countless knowledge was injected into Qi Xuan’s mind, almost overwhelming his consciousness.
After the knowledge was instilled, it took a long time before he recovered.
“Damn, the knowledge baptism almost washed me into an idiot.”
Qi Xuan leaned against the tree, feeling lingering fear.
But the effect of the baptism was also obvious.
He looked up at the black and white trees beside him, and in an instant, all the knowledge related to this tree appeared in his mind—
Twin-Born Tree, generally with a main trunk diameter of three meters, a tree height of thirty meters, a crown diameter of twenty meters, likes light, not shade, resistant to water temperature, cold, and drought… the sap is poisonous… it can enter the mature period after twenty years of planting.
Ignoring those miscellaneous information, the word “poisonous” was particularly prominent, making him feel a little numb in an instant.
Eating the bark was fake, but he had really thought about eating the leaves, and if he couldn’t find anything to eat, he would pick the leaves to eat.
Who would have thought that this thing was really poisonous?
Fortunately, he drew this Encyclopedia, otherwise his second life would immediately end in GG.
Qi Xuan rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, took a deep breath, and touched the third Light Ball.
“You have obtained a Supreme Heaven Spirit Root.”
Huh?
What the hell?
Heaven what root?
Qi Xuan widened his eyes.
Before he could recover, the system’s voice came again in his mind:
“Confirmed that the Supreme Heaven Spirit Root already exists.”
“The Supreme Heaven Spirit Root conflicts, triggering an eighty-two hundred millionth of a chance critical hit, successfully merging into a Chaos Limitless Spiritual Root.”
Qi Xuan was stunned:
“You even have critical hits?”
“The system naturally has critical hits.”
“But the system novels I’ve read…”
“Just say whether you want it or not?”
“Yes!”
At that moment, Qi Xuan felt a sudden chill all over his body, countless cold air drilled into his body, and as he watched, the skin on his arms turned white, the scars from being scratched by a monkey when he was a child also faded and disappeared, his nearsightedness visibly decreased, and even the feeling of hunger in his stomach lessened a lot.
“This Chaos Limitless Spiritual Root is really awesome.”
“This is a panacea.”
Qi Xuan was shocked.
The system’s voice sounded again:
“The Chaos Limitless Spiritual Root is one of the top cultivation qualifications in the universe, and can undergo a body refinement after being obtained, improving the entire physique.
With this Spiritual Root, you can cultivate any Cultivation Technique, ignoring any Cultivation Technique cultivation threshold.
It is extremely compatible with Spiritual Energy, even without cultivating a Cultivation Technique, it can absorb external Spiritual Energy to strengthen the body, and there are no realm barriers before the Tribulation Stage, and it comes with a 30% success rate during the Tribulation.”
Damn, am I not going to become an immortal?
Qi Xuan was filled with excitement by what the system said.
But soon he calmed down again.
Although he already had top-notch cultivation qualifications, referring to those web novels he often read in the past, the cultivation world has always been extremely cruel, and having qualifications doesn’t guarantee that he can grow up smoothly.
He was just a college graduate who had only been doing games for two years and had failed.
And he didn’t think his mind and strategy could surpass those old foxes who had lived for thousands of years.
If he had the chance, he would rather stay with his parents.
“But can I go back home?”
Qi Xuan looked at the Twin-Born Tree beside him and muttered to himself.
“Yes.”
Qi Xuan was stunned:
“What did you say?”
“You can go back home.”
“How do I go back?”
“As long as you achieve the Nascent Soul stage, you can break through the space barrier and return to your hometown.”
“You’re not lying to me?”
“Absolutely genuine, the system never lies.”
Qi Xuan was invigorated.
Achieving the Nascent Soul can get him home.
Not the Tribulation, nor the Great Ascension, just the Nascent Soul can get him home, then what more could he ask for?!
Qi Xuan couldn’t wait to start cultivating on the spot.
The problem was, what about the Cultivation Technique?
Give me a Cultivation Technique!
Without a Cultivation Technique, what am I going to practice!
It’s really frustrating!
As if sensing Qi Xuan’s desire, the system spoke again:
“The Cultivation Technique needs to be obtained through the Lottery.”
“Lottery?”
“The Host can accumulate Popularity Points through Live Stream, and then use the Popularity Points to draw the Lottery.”
“What are the prizes?”
“The prizes include daily necessities, Spiritual Plants, Spiritual Minerals, Talismans, and Pills.”
Qi Xuan instantly saw through the truth:
“You didn’t even mention the Cultivation Technique when you gave examples, and you can tell that the probability of drawing it is extremely low, aren’t you playing with me?”
“The first draw will definitely get a God-Level Cultivation Technique.”
“System Bro, I spoke a little louder just now, when are we going to Live Stream?”
“You can start Live Streaming now, but there are two points to note before the Live Stream.
First: The first Live Stream needs to penetrate the space barrier, which will consume all remaining energy, and the system will enter a dormant state.
Second: The Live Stream will continuously consume the Host’s energy, and if the energy is insufficient, the Live Stream will not be possible.”
For cultivation.
To go home sooner.
Qi Xuan took a deep breath and said firmly:
“Let’s begin.”
The system’s voice sounded for the last time:
“Confirm start.”
“Preparing to connect.”
“Connecting…”
“Connection successful!”
