Chapter 1 – The Awakening Before Awakening
The first thing Yu Xiaogang felt was the cold.Not the sharp cold of winter, but the deep, empty chill of waking up somewhere you shouldn't be.
He opened his eyes to see a cracked wooden ceiling. A single shaft of light slipped through a gap, illuminating the dust motes drifting lazily in the air. His body felt smaller, weaker—yet his mind was sharp, overflowing with memories that weren't his own.
The Transmigration
One moment, he had been an ordinary young man in another world, reading Soul Land late into the night. The next, he was here—inside the body of Yu Xiaogang, but years before the start of the story. A faint ripple of excitement passed through him.
Then, a mechanical, ancient voice echoed in his mind:
[Initializing Heavenly Dragon System...][Binding to Host – Complete][Primary Directive: Elevate your family to the Supreme Powerhouse of All Worlds][System Tasks Available: 5]
Yu Xiaogang froze, heart pounding. This wasn't just a second chance—it was the power to rewrite fate.
System Interface
The system panel unfolded in his mind like a scroll of golden light:
Main Mission: Make your clan the strongest in the continent and beyond.

Reward: Dragon Vein Tempering Technique (increases physical and soul foundation by 500%).
Task 2: Begin development of Martial Cheats for all cultivation levels.

Beneath the task list was a separate section:

God-Grade – Requires host's personal permission; absolute loyalty oath enforced by the system
The Plan
Yu Xiaogang sat up slowly, his mind spinning.Four years until his martial spirit awakening.Four years to transform himself, his family, and his place in the world.
He knew the original Yu Xiaogang's fate—weak martial spirit, political mediocrity, personal heartbreak. That future would never come to pass.
[System Prompt]Tip: Host may transfer any obtained martial spirit, soul ring, or soul bone to others or use them personally. Strategic allocation is advised.
His lips curved into a slow, deliberate smile. He could build an army of loyal warriors before he even awakened.
First Training
That night, under the dim oil lamp, he began the Dragon Vein Tempering Technique. Heat surged through his veins, his muscles screaming as if molten metal was being poured into them. By dawn, his frail frame was gone—replaced by a body brimming with vitality and raw power.
[Task 1 Progress: 10%][Hidden Condition Detected – Potential exceeds original host's limits by 400%]
He flexed his fingers, feeling the strength in them.Four years. In four years, he would not be the ridiculed Grandmaster.He would be the man the continent knelt to.
And when the time came, Bibi Dong would not suffer the fate she had in the old world. She would be his queen, and together, they would raise Qian Renxue as the next ruler of a reformed, unshakable world.
He looked out of the window at the rising sun."This time," he whispered, "the world will be systematic… my system."
