Planetary Survival: This Daoist Knows a Little Magic

In this age of cutthroat competition, Chen Xiao had gone to a Taoist temple to choose the lie-flat life.

But one careless moment later, he became a challenger in an interstellar colonization trial.

If Chen Xiao can build a colonization beacon and complete the mission of colonizing a planet, he will become its owner.

Wait, bro, I'm a good-for-nothing who chose to lie flat! You want me to terraform a planet?

Fortunately, Chen Xiao awakens the Myriad Arts Heavenly Tome, which lets him perform all kinds of magic.

You say construction requires resources, and that he has to mine to find them himself?

[Thirty-Six Celestial Powers: Womb Transformation. Turn anything and everything into another substance! If I transform uranium ore, will I croak on the spot?]

You say the alien creatures are strong and invincible?

[Seventy-Two Earthly Arts: Swordsmanship. Sword energy stretches ninety thousand li! I said use swordsmanship, not chop the planet in half!]

You say the planet's terrain is rugged and chaotic, with towering mountains?

[Seventy-Two Earthly Arts: Moving Mountains. The power to move mountains! Wait, why are you carrying the whole planet away?]

And so Chen Xiao, who had only wanted a few acres of land where he could lie flat and coast through life,

ended up becoming the owner of a planet before he even realized it.

That planet would eventually become the center of civilization in the universe...
