Oh No, How Did I Become a Tomb Gate?

Shi Jian was reborn as the stone door of an ancient tomb. After spending so long trapped in a lightless underground space that he could no longer stand it, he decided he wanted to die.

As it happened, a team of archaeological experts arrived at the tomb, ready to break through the door and excavate what lay beyond.

When Shi Jian realized he would die once the experts broke through, he was thrilled.

But things did not go as he hoped. Just as the experts began breaking down the door, he was bound to the [Grow Stronger When Attacked] System. Every attack he endured made him stronger.

“Ding! Host is under attack. Hardness +1.”

“Ding! Host is under attack. Toughness +1.”

“Ding! Host is under an extreme cold attack. Reward: Iceheart Sacred Art. Acquired the power of the Ice Crystal Phoenix.”

When all kinds of strange phenomena began appearing on the tomb door that was Shi Jian, people discovered they could obtain various cultivation techniques from it.

By then, the spiritual qi revival had begun as well.

Many years later, humanity would call Shi Jian the Gate of the Dao, the Gate of the World.
