Synopsis

Chen Kan transmigrates into the Primordial World and, through a twist of fate, becomes a local Earth God, awakening the strongest Land God System.

As long as someone on his land worships Chen Kan, that land belongs to him. Within his own territory, Chen Kan is invincible. Even a Sage would get slapped twice if they showed up.

System: Land is land, and an Imperial Brother is still a brother.

Chen Kan ponders this, then protects King Li Shimin of Tang from the troublemaking Dragon King of the Jing River. He successfully becomes sworn brothers with Li Shimin and is made his Imperial Brother. Soon, the whole Tang Empire is worshipping Chen Kan, the local Earth God.

Chen Kan: He’s taking Buddhism east. I’m marching west to Spirit Mountain!

Monkey: I, Old Sun, actually lost to a puny little Earth God? What a disgrace... No, what a monkey disgrace!

The Queen of the Kingdom of Women: Imperial Brother, can this really be eaten?

Chen Kan: No talking. Put your hair up!

Old Li, I’ve conquered Spirit Mountain for you. That old Tathagata is picking scriptures up off the ground right now.

System: An Imperial Brother is a brother, and an emperor is an emperor.

Chen Kan patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and drawled, “Er Feng, all my life, I’ve been walking on thin ice.”

Now clad in the imperial yellow robe and blessed with the Mandate of Heaven of the Tang Empire, Chen Kan was enjoying himself when the System’s voice murmured in his ear again.

System: Think bigger. An emperor is an emperor, and the Jade Emperor is an emperor too.

Chen Kan nodded and looked toward the Heavenly Court. I’m just a local Earth God, but taking charge of the Three Realms seems perfectly reasonable, doesn’t it?

Authentic Primordial Era Fiction: No Dumbed-Down Characters or Broken Power Systems

Looking for books similar to "Pangu: Systems, I'm Back for Revenge!" I'm really tired of those stories that break the whole cultivation system, as well as the prehistoric-world novels that water things down. They're all so mindless. I want a proper prehistoric-world story, like one about a human sage and so on.

Hongjun Is Neither Good nor Evil: Looking for Prehistoric Fantasy With Real Depth

The classical meaning of the word Hongjun is “heaven and nature,” and that may be what it means in "Investiture of the Gods" as well. But most prehistoric fantasy stories nowadays portray him as a vicious villain, which I really don’t understand. He is revered alongside the Dao and blends in with the world. How could the Dao be good or evil?
