[Silly jokes and memes; a hilarious, unorthodox survival guide: Insect body snatching, total chaos, and cultivation so absurd it defies belief]
Dongfang Molong's life philosophy: You can lose the game, but you have to flame your teammates.
Then one day, he yelled at his screen, "A five-man Gatling squad can't kill a living person!" He spat out a mouthful of blood that splattered across the screen like a screensaver, and died on the spot.
When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into his "self" in the cultivation world: a rookie unorthodox cultivator who had just stolen a Foundation Establishment Pill.
He thought he was in for a power fantasy with a System from the start. Instead, his soul fusion glitched, and he missed his own body by a hair, plunging headfirst into a newly hatched green caterpillar.
Gazing at the handsome "body double" lying on the ground, who looked exactly like him, Dongfang Molong went, "?"
And it only got worse from there:
The moment his pursuers left, a little girl stomped him into the dirt, and he could only cling to his "bug life" with his Foundation Establishment spiritual power.
Then he saw the little brat carry off his body. He frantically crawled after her, cursing up a storm in bug language until his throat was raw (if bugs even have throats).
At long last, he caught up at the village entrance. Just as he climbed onto his own body, a beauty in blue flicked him away. "Where did this bug come from?"
On his second charge, he was bundled up and tossed into a chicken coop, starting the Chicken Coop Escape Challenge.
The moment Dongfang Molong was reborn from a chicken's rear end and crawled back into his body, he finally understood:
The first step in cultivation isn't Foundation Establishment or fighting monsters. It's getting your own body back.
And that green caterpillar whose intelligence he'd nurtured with his soul?
He'd keep it. From now on, it would be his exclusive "Spirit-Devouring Immortal Insect," and it could take the blame for him, too.
