Prologue

Lin Xuanyu blinked, his gaze sweeping over the unfamiliar room. A subtle frown appeared on his face as he muttered, "Was I kidnapped?"

The thought didn't linger long. He quickly shook his head. "No, if that were the case, I'd be tied to a chair with duct tape over my mouth."

He looked around again.

The scene before him was like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. The ceiling glowed softly with a purple hue, while holograms danced across the walls, casting shimmering patterns of light. By his bedside sat a sleek, futuristic computer that didn't look like anything from Earth.

"...What is this place?" Lin Xuanyu whispered, baffled.

He felt like he'd stumbled into the set of some space-opera film.

Moments ago, he'd been in his tiny apartment, struggling with a first-semester college assignment. He distinctly remembered taking a break after just 30 minutes of grueling work, intending to play his favorite online shooter game. But then his vision had blanked out—and now he was here.

He looked at the computer sitting on the desk.

Maybe it had the answers he was looking for.

As he stood up from his bed to approach the table with the computer, a sudden flicker in his vision stopped him cold. His surroundings blurred violently.

"???"

Tti-ting!

[All-Heaven System has been activated.]

[You have successfully transmigrated to the Main World.]

"Main World?" Lin Xuanyu was puzzled.

[The host lived in a lower world without the energy of heaven and earth.]

[Once the host died, the All-Heaven System activated and bound itself to the closest soul sequence in the Main World.]

Lin Xuanyu's lips twitched. "How did I die?"

[Host died by being electrocuted while pressing the power button on your computer.]

"..."

Lin Xuanyu smiled bitterly. So, he really did die. And in the dumbest way possible.

But, strangely enough, he didn't feel sad about being dead. Instead, a sense of freedom washed over him, as though he had escaped from something suffocating.

Perhaps it was because he had left behind a world that felt fake.

His old life was nothing to miss.

After moving away from his hometown to attend college in a distant city, Lin Xuanyu had never made meaningful memories.

His days were split between drowning in assignments and gaming to escape the monotony.

Most of his classmates were backstabbers—venomous people who thrived on gossip and drama. If given a chance, he wouldn't hesitate to throw hands with them, and mind you, he had never lost a fight in his life.

He only really had one or two people in college he could call friends.

The rest? Forgettable.

And gaming? While it was fun, he didn't mind leaving it behind either.

After all, if this was the so-called "Main" world, there were bound to be even better games waiting for him here.

As he was musing, another system screen popped up.

[Congratulations, host! The Starter Pack is ready to be opened.]

[Choose one of the following cheats:

-Evolution System

-Multi-Dimensional Chat Group

-Myriad Gates Of Heaven

Note: The other two will be available in the shop after selection.]

"???" Lin Xuanyu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Cheats?" His mouth twitches involuntarily, but he wasn't confused.

He knew exactly what these were. After all, he was an avid fan of novels, especially ones with garbage plots and overpowered protagonists.

Even though he called it trash, he still loved reading it.

The system then showed the description of each system.

[Evolution System:

Allows the evolution, refinement, or fusion of skills and items.

To use the functions the user must have EP points which recharges everyday. The user will be granted 5 points daily.

Special Perk: Grants 2 Special Evolution Points if chosen from the Starter Pack.]

[Multi-Dimensional Chat Group System:

Connects the host to a network of beings across different dimensions.

Through the system, users can exchange information, skills, and items using Source points. Source points can be earned by completing missions.

Special Perk: Grants Admin privileges if chosen from the Starter Pack and A special One-time pack.]

[Myriad Gates Of Heaven:

Grants access to countless realms and dimensions through the Myriad Gate of Heaven.

Completing tasks in these realms allows the host to bring back items or abilities and place an anchor on the world, enabling them to revisit it at any time.

Special Perk: Grants 3 World Keys if chosen from the Starter Pack.]

Lin Xuanyu nodded thoughtfully.

These were exactly like the systems he knew from the countless web novels he had read.

Then, without hesitation, he clicked on the Evolution System.

Why? The Evolution System was the strongest of the three and the most newbie-friendly.

As an expert in reading web novels, he knew the other two systems came with massive risks.

Choosing them blindly could easily get him killed, while the former was easier to use, allowing him to take his time to develop.

The instant he made his choice, a deluge of information surged into his mind like a tidal wave.

Images and concepts flashed past in rapid succession, embedding themselves into his consciousness as though he had always known them.

When the disorientation faded, Lin Xuanyu's mind was clear.

But now, new information flooded his mind, and he could feel a strange energy coursing through his body.

Reviewing the influx of knowledge, he was left utterly speechless.

"Cultivation...?" he muttered, still processing everything.

[The All-Heaven System has successfully installed the Evolution System.]

[The system has successfully transferred cultivation knowledge into the host's mind.]

[Memories of the body's previous owner have been removed, leaving only crucial information of this world.]

With that, the system interface disappeared, leaving Lin Xuanyu in silence.

"What kind of sorcery is this?" he muttered. His brows knitted together as he reviewed the new information.

It felt surreal.

He could now sense a powerful energy coursing through his body—energy that had always been there but was impossible to perceive until now.

Additionally, two cultivation techniques had appeared in his mind: one called the Basic Cosmic Alliance Essence Cultivation technique, and the other the Empyrean technique.

As he reviewed these cultivation techniques, a new window popped up:

[Name: Lin Xuanyu

Cultivation Type: Origin System

Race: Human

Cultivation Level: Transition realm, Level 2 

Cultivation Techniques:

Basic Cosmic Alliance Essence Cultivation technique (+), Empyrean technique(Incomplete) (+)

Combat Techniques:

Basic Sword Technique (+), Secret Lin Clan Sword Technique (Incomplete) (+)

EP: 5

SEP: 2]

"Huh? A clan technique?" Lin Xuanyu raised an eyebrow. "Was the previous owner of this body from some prestigious family?"

He began comparing the two cultivation technique.

The Cosmic Alliance technique seemed standard, but the Empyrean technique was unique, though incomplete. Lin Xuanyu suspected it might be one of those godly techniques that could skyrocket his power.

As he was musing, a new system window appeared in his vision.

[Empyrean Technique (Incomplete) (+)

Type: Cultivation Technique

Effect: Increases cultivation speed by 20% compared to normal technique.

Limitations:

- Excessive strain on meridians when cultivated.

- Cannot advance beyond Legendary Transformation realm with this technique.
