Good Grief! I Ate the World-Ending Calamity for Dinner

[Primordial World] [Decisive and Ruthless] [System] [Investiture of the Gods] [Feel-Good Novel]

Jiang Li lives in the Primordial World and joins the Chan Sect under Guangchengzi. Starting as an ordinary man with no spiritual roots, he fights his way to become the foremost third-generation disciple of Jade Void Palace.

He thought that after guarding the North Sea for his sect for eleven hundred years and quelling the Jiuli Rebellion, his illustrious military record would earn him a chance to obtain the Great Dao inheritance during the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

But after a thousand years of slaughter and a victorious return, no reward awaits him.

His position as chief disciple is taken away, the supreme sword art is passed on to his junior brother, and his longtime beloved, Liu Qingluan, is sent to the Celestial Court to become a concubine. Even his master, Guangchengzi, tells him to bow his head and accept his fate, claiming he lacks enough fortune!

Just as Jiang Li completely breaks with the Chan Sect and angrily smashes the jade tablet, the Creation Divine Ranking, dormant for a thousand years, awakens!

[Choice One: Bow your head and accept your fate, kowtow and beg for mercy, cleanse your mortal body of impurities, and rebuild your Golden Immortal foundation. From then on, withdraw from the great struggle of the age. Reward: Top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Primordial Golden Dipper!]

[Choice Two: Defy Heaven's Mandate, leave the Chan Sect, sever the bonds between master and disciple, and establish a lineage of your own, making enemies of all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens! Reward: Innate demon-god bloodline! Sea-Suppressing Divine Stele!]

[Choose to guard the North Sea. Reward: The first layer of the Creation Divine Ranking unlocked, and the Nine-Bend Yellow River Spirit-Controlling Formation!]

From then on, Jiang Li guards the North Sea, slays Golden Immortals, and gathers the scattered demons of the Primordial World. The abandoned disciple of the Chan Sect becomes the greatest barrier standing before the armies of Jade Void Palace!

Guangchengzi: "Jiang Li, those who defy Heaven never meet a good end. You cannot withstand Jade Void Palace's thunderous wrath!"

Jiang Li rests his hand on the Sea-Suppressing Divine Stele as the shadow of an ancient, dark-golden demon god rises behind him.

"Defy Heaven?"

"Then today, I defy Heaven itself!"
