After transmigrating into the primordial world of Investiture of the Gods, Li Yuan had long since used the System to cultivate to the peak of the Great Dao. From then on, he gave up striving and lived like a happy slacker, spending his days growing flowers, fishing, eating, drinking, and having fun, with no interest in cultivation.
His younger sister, Su Daji, went to great lengths to secure him a chance to become a disciple of Saint Tongtian, but he flatly refused. With no other option, Daji invited the Three Sky Maidens to persuade her brother. To her surprise, they were instead won over and indoctrinated by Li Yuan's clear, enlightened outlook and his residence filled with treasures.
Later, Sect Master Tongtian personally came down the mountain to take him as a disciple, while a crowd of powerful ministers at court competed to offer their daughters in marriage. Thus began the slacker Li Yuan's effortless path to victory in the Investiture of the Gods.
Pirating other people's stuff is boring.
