New Life

In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a lion with gigantic wings awoke and looked towards the sky before shifting its gaze to its surroundings. The body of the beast was huge, covered in a layer of purple crystal that shone brightly under the sunlight.

'What the hell... I've crossed over—not as a human but as a magical beast! And on top of that, I'm the Amethyst Winged Lion?'

The magical beast harbored the soul of a transmigrator from Earth. His name was Luo Feng. In his previous life, he was a writer and a weeb who had read web novels of every genre. After falling asleep while writing a fan-fic, he had been reincarnated.

"Well, the Amethyst Winged Lion can be considered a powerful magical beast, at least in the early stages of the novel in the North-Western Region. As a sixth-rank magical beast, it's definitely a powerhouse at the Dou Emperor level, but it still ended up becoming a stepping stone—a sacrifice to link the son of destiny with one of the heroines. I'm determined to change that fate."

Luo Feng thought back on how the lion's treasures were taken, and how both he and his son had been gravely harmed by Xiao Yan and Yun Yun.

"I did nothing wrong, yet I had to make a sacrifice just because I clashed with a destined heroine?

Screw Xiao Yan! I'll ruin him in every way possible. But first, I have to reach the seventh rank as soon as I can. It's weird being a four-legged beast all of a sudden..."

He felt strange in this body, being used to his human form, but now finding himself transformed into a ten-meter-tall magical beast.

As Luo Feng pondered his situation, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for activating the Tribe Building System.]

'Just as I thought, I get a cheat like most transmigrations!'

In transmigration stories, it's rare to cross over without getting some kind of cheat or special talent.

[Ding! A starter package has arrived. Would you like to open it?]

'Open it.'

[Ding! Host receives Energy Modules.]

[Ding! Host receives a Transformation Pill.]

[Ding! Host receives an Ancient Bloodline.]

[Ding! Host receives a Soul Essence.]

[Ding! Host receives a Peak Tian Class Qi Method: Prismatic Chaos Sutra.]

[Ding! Host receives a peak seventh-rank slave: Demonic White Tiger.]

[Ding! Host receives the Flaming Cloud Water Flame.]

[Ding! Host receives Alchemy Knowledge.]

'Wow, seriously? Heh, let Yun Yun come here. I'll turn her into my slave.'

Luo Feng was thrilled with the gift pack—it seemed to provide everything he needed.

'System, can you introduce yourself?'

[Ding! I am the Tribe Building System. As my name suggests, I help you build your own tribe. I will give you missions, and you will receive rewards for completing them. Most of the missions will relate to tribe-building and will be triggered under specific conditions.]

'Alright. Well, can you explain the items I just received?'

[Sure!

Energy Modules: Clusters of raw Dou Qi that can be refined by the host to increase cultivation.

Transformation Pill: A seventh-tier pill used by magical beasts below the seventh rank to transform into human form. This transformation allows for faster cultivation without the need to rely on eating herbs or corpses.

Ancient Bloodline: A royal bloodline in the same league as the Ancient Void Dragon, Ancient Heaven Phoenix, Heaven-Swallowing Python, Ancient Heaven Serpent, etc. It exerts a specific bloodline pressure on magical beasts of lower bloodlines.

Soul Essence: A cluster used to increase soul cultivation.

Prismatic Chaos Sutra: A rare and ancient Qi method that allows the practitioner to harness and balance all elements—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Wood—simultaneously. When cultivated to perfection, the user's Qi transforms into Prismatic Chaos Qi, which embodies both destructive and creative powers. It can devour and refine any elemental treasure (including Heavenly Flames) and evolve the user's physique. However, it can only be used by magical beasts.

Demonic White Tiger: A high-ranking beast with Ice and Thunder attributes. While below ancient bloodlines in rank, it is a fearsome, legendary beast known for its raw power and ruthless nature. If tamed, it can be a powerful ally.

Flaming Cloud Water Flame: Ranked 16th on the Heavenly Flame list, this flame fuses Water and Fire attributes, creating both intense heat and fluid cold. It appears as a cloud of misty flames, shifting between these two forms. Highly prized for its alchemical properties, its control over both Water and Fire makes it ideal for refining difficult pills.

Alchemy Knowledge: Complete knowledge of alchemy from Tier 1 to Tier 10.]

'Ha! Screw Yao Chen, and screw the whole Yao Clan. And especially screw Xiao Yan! I might just become the first magical beast alchemist!'

Luo Feng was quite pleased with the starter gifts, knowing they would prove invaluable. However, what he didn't know was that Yao Chen had already made contact with Xiao Yan and accepted him as his disciple. There was only a year and a half left until the "Three-Year Agreement" between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan would soon come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, followed by Yun Yun, who would seek the Purple Spirit Crystal for her disciple.

'To be honest, I never liked Nalan Yanran. She treats those beneath her like beggars. Soon enough, she'll be begging me for her master's life. But I'm not interested in her anyway; her master is different material altogether.'

Luo Feng had always admired Yun Yun, though she could be ignorant at times. He desired to "fix" that ignorance before taking her as his woman.

'But before all that, let's accept these rewards. System, bring out the Transformation Pill.'

[Ding! Command accepted.]

A pill floated in front of Luo Feng. It radiated enormous energy, though he knew most of that energy would be used for his transformation. As a seventh-tier pill, it contained spirituality, but Luo Feng quickly swallowed it.

Immediately, his body began to change. His Dou Qi surged, constantly releasing and absorbing it as his body felt hot and began shrinking. Soon, he had completely transformed into a seven-foot-tall, dashing man. His features were sharp, with a refined jawline, crystal-purple eyes, black hair, and a muscular, lean body. The overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion, had transformed into a human. In the process, Luo Feng advanced by one star.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining human transformation.]

The magical beasts guarding the cave felt the increase in their king's aura.

One fifth-rank beast commented, "It seems the king has made a breakthrough."

Another added, "This is good. Staying loyal to the king will bring us great opportunities."

Inside the cave, Luo Feng sat cross-legged and stabilized his cultivation. A few minutes later, he exhaled deeply.

'System, apply the Prismatic Chaos Sutra.'

[Ding! Command accepted. Implementing Prismatic Chaos Sutra Qi method on the host.]

[Ding! Qi method successfully implemented.]

As soon as the Qi method was applied, Luo Feng could sense and absorb Dou Qi more efficiently. He estimated that he could advance an entire rank within three months. After all, Tian-class methods were top-tier for a reason.

Suddenly, a terrifying force erupted. Outside, natural phenomena occurred—lightning gathered in the sky, thunderstorms raged, and cyclones began to form. The energy of heaven and earth clustered together. Beasts in the Mountain Range panicked, while nearby mercenaries sensed the phenomenon and retreated. Thunder cracked fiercely, and the earth's energy intensified—this sort of occurrence was a sign of the birth of a Tian-class Qi method.

Luo Feng, unbothered, continued to cultivate. He advanced to the seven-star Dou Emperor level within fifteen days. After stabilizing his cultivation, he opened his eyes. The weather outside cleared, and he stepped out to survey the situation
