Chapter 1 System Come
Dou Qi Continent.Jia Ma Empire.Wutan City.
Atop the ancestral mountain of the Xiao Clan, on a grassy cliff bathed in twilight, a slender youth stood with his hands behind his back. His features were sharp and refined, as though carved by nature itself—sword-like brows, star-filled eyes, and an appearance that could only be described as outstanding.
Only slightly less handsome than you, dear readers.
He gazed at the fading sun on the horizon and murmured softly,"So… I really did come to Xiao Yan's Dou Qi Continent. Fourteen and a half years have passed. The main storyline should be starting soon."
His name was Xiao Zhitian.
Like Xiao Yan, he came from a certain blue planet. Unlike Xiao Yan, he arrived as his twin brother—and due to his so-called "innate advantage," he was born half an hour earlier, thus claiming the position of elder brother with absolute legitimacy.
When he first transmigrated, Xiao Zhitian had been full of confidence. After all, every senior transmigrator awakened some heaven-defying golden finger, right?
Reality, however, responded with a gentle yet humiliating slap.
No system.No cheat.Nothing at all.
For twelve whole years, he lived honestly and steadily, until two and a half years ago—when his golden finger finally arrived.
Or rather… half-arrived.
Because the system had been stuck at 99.99% loading for two and a half years.
Xiao Zhitian once seriously wondered whether he had committed some unforgivable sin in his past life.
Otherwise, why would a system take this long to load?
Just as his thoughts spiraled deeper into existential doubt, a faint rustling sound came from the forest behind him.
Xiao Zhitian straightened and said calmly,"Girl. Since you're here, come out."
"Xiao Zhitian Gege."
A soft, melodious voice responded.
A moment later, a young girl in a purple dress appeared beside him. Her temperament was cool and serene, like a budding green lotus untouched by worldly dust. Though still young, her bearing already hinted at a future peerless beauty.
Xiao Xun'er.
Seeing her, Xiao Zhitian couldn't help reminiscing.
Back when he realized he had no system, he made a decisive choice—hug a thigh.
The biggest thigh in the Xiao Clan was, without question, his younger brother Xiao Yan.
Why first?
Because there was an even thicker thigh—Xiao Xun'er.
If forced to choose, he would choose her without hesitation. Money, power, beauty, talent, background, age, childhood friendship—she had it all. Anyone who could eat this "soft rice" would find it unbelievably sweet.
Of course, Xiao Zhitian didn't pursue her using Xiao Yan's original methods.
Instead, whenever Xiao Yan harbored any improper thoughts, Xiao Zhitian would discreetly report him.
After being hung up and beaten one night, Xiao Yan's thoughts instantly became pure and righteous.
(Xiao Yan still didn't know it was his own brother who sold him out.)
Xiao Zhitian could give up Yao Lao.He could give up the Burning Technique.He could even give up the Heavenly Flames.
But Xiao Xun'er?Impossible.
As for Yun Yun, Ya Fei, Mu Lingxian, Queen Medusa…Heh.
Let Xiao Yan focus on cultivation. With no women in his heart, he would naturally wield Heavenly Flames like a god.
"Xiao Zhitian Gege, why are you staring at me?"Xiao Xun'er's cheeks flushed as she pouted softly.
"Xun'er, why did you come looking for me?" Xiao Zhitian coughed lightly. "Is something wrong?"
"Tomorrow is the family test," she said quietly. "I've already reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi."
Xiao Zhitian sensed her aura and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad. My Xun'er really is gifted. Those old fellows will be stunned tomorrow."He smiled. "Want to guess what realm I'm at?"
"I won't," Xiao Xun'er snorted. "You've definitely already broken through to Dou Zhe. I'll see for myself tomorrow. And… who's your Xun'er? I'm not!"
"Then I won't tell you."Xiao Zhitian chuckled, took her hand, and led her down the mountain.
The night passed quietly.
The next morning, Xiao Zhitian opened his courtyard gate and saw Xiao Xun'er already waiting. She wore a light green dress that accentuated her youthful vitality.
"What are you looking at?" she asked shyly.
"At you, of course," Xiao Zhitian laughed, ruffling her hair.
"Hmph!"
They set off together.
Passing Xiao Yan's courtyard, the door opened just in time.
"Tian Ge. Xun'er."
Xiao Yan looked at them, emotions flickering in his eyes.
Ever since his Dou Qi began to regress, only these two had treated him the same.
Xiao Zhitian smacked his head lightly."Enough nonsense. You're my brother. A great roc rises with the wind—your time is coming."
Xiao Yan clenched his fists.
The three entered the testing ground.
Silence fell.
Countless gazes focused on them—especially on Xiao Yan.
Just as the test was about to begin, a cold mechanical voice echoed in Xiao Zhitian's mind.
Ding!Fate's wheel begins to turn.System loading complete.Host, please receive your rewards.
Xiao Zhitian's pupils shrank.
Finally…It's here.
