Chapter 1: Strange World
In the midst of a scorched battlefield, Alex stood bloodied, his breath ragged. Before him lay the corpses of four demon cultivators—each of them once powerful emperors like himself. The remaining five, though heavily wounded, managed to escape into the void. Their cowardice disgusted him.
Just as Alex prepared to give chase, a rift of chaotic energy erupted behind him. Too late to react, his already weakened soul was torn from his body and swallowed by the dimensional storm.

When Alex next opened his eyes, he was in a small, unfamiliar village on a distant island. He had possessed the body of a 10-year-old boy who had just died in an accident. Though he couldn't recall the boy's memories, everything about his past life—the cultivation realms, battles, techniques—remained vivid in his mind.
Then, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
Ding! Immortal Cultivation System activated.
Host: Alex
Age: 10
Cultivation: Not Started
Inventory: Newbie Gift Package
Alex's eyes widened in surprise—but comprehension came swiftly. This "system" would grant him rewards based on how well he spread knowledge of immortal cultivation in this new world. Origin Points could be exchanged for techniques, treasures, pills, and even spins of fate itself.
Grasping the potential, Alex quickly opened the Newbie Gift Package.
You have received:
– 30 Years of Pure Spiritual Energy
– Martial Apprentice Realm Pills
– Yellow Rank (Low-Tier) Sword
– 100 Gold Coins
With a calm breath, Alex sat cross-legged and activated one of the peak immortal emperor-level cultivation techniques he had mastered in his previous life. Golden spiritual power began to swirl around him as he absorbed the 30 years of pure energy. His body trembled as his cultivation surged forward—Martial Apprentice Realm, 1st star… 2nd… 3rd…
In mere moments, he reached Martial Apprentice Realm, 6-Star.
Winds howled around him, and wild animals fled from the nearby forest in fear. Dust whirled, and the spiritual pressure surged before slowly dissipating.
When Alex looked at his reflection in a nearby pond, he no longer saw a 10-year-old boy. His youthful form had matured—he now appeared as a striking 20-year-old man, his true form. Sword-like eyebrows, galaxy-blue eyes, and flawless snow-white skin reflected back at him. His system had even provided him with pristine white robes suited for cultivation.
With a slight smirk, Alex rose to his feet and turned toward the village. If he was to return to the Immortal World… he would need knowledge, followers, and a way to bend this world's destiny to his will.
It was time to begin.
