Honghuang: I'm the Sage of Survival, and I Don't Give a Damn About Hongjun!

Thanks for the invite. I'm in the Primordial World, and I've just received a System.

What? You want me to kill Pangu, take his place in creating the world, and prove the Dao to become a Sage?

What? You want me to stop the Dragon and Han calamity, lead a clan, and have all beasts honor me as their supreme ruler?

What? You want me to join the battle between immortals and demons and help Hongjun or Luohu attain the Great Dao and become a Sage?

Go to hell! I'm not going. The battles in the outside world have nothing to do with me. All I want is to cultivate in seclusion and quietly become a Sage.

He happens to meet Hongjun. "Fellow Daoist, you have the makings of a Sage. Proving the Dao is a certainty!"

Hongjun: "I'll take your kind words to heart. If I attain the Great Dao one day, I'll repay you handsomely!"

After the protagonist breaks through to the Quasi-Sage realm, he declares with feeling, "Today, I have attained the rank of a mighty Quasi-Sage. I need no witness from heaven and earth. I will announce it to them myself!"

Hongjun: "Fellow Daoist, we don't say things like that around here! Be careful, or you'll incur Heaven's wrath."

What the hell! Hongjun, you old schemer...

"The Great Dao shares a single source, and all laws return to the origin. The Dao exists only through me; without me, there is no Dao." One thoughtless remark from the protagonist unexpectedly enlightens old schemer Hongjun, and he breaks through.
