Li Xuan transmigrated to a cultivation world three years ago, but he's still a lowly herb-gathering servant at the Qingxuan Sect.
He never got a chance at immortality. Instead, he got a bowl of deadly poison and a kick off Blackwind Cliff.
At death's door, the half of a broken seal that had lain dormant in his sea of consciousness for three years finally awoke.
The Taixu Creation Seal.
Thinking he'd finally reached the day when he could cheat his way to the top, Li Xuan studied it closely, only to discover that its most fundamental ability was actually to give Systems to other people.
So he crossed into another world and gave the first System to Uncle Lin Jiu, who was in the middle of a crisis.
[Ding! Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying System bound successfully!]
Uncle Jiu slays demons, accumulates merit, exchanges it for cultivation techniques, and breaks through to new realms, while wisps of Creation Power flow back through the barriers between worlds and pour endlessly into Li Xuan.
As Uncle Jiu grows stronger, so does Li Xuan.
And Lin Jiu is only the first Host.
As the Taixu Creation Seal gradually repairs itself, one world after another opens its doors to him.
Some receive a cultivation System and turn their lives around; some unexpectedly unlock a different-flame template, making them unstoppable at alchemy and talisman-making; still others stumble into a chance at immortality and, despite being good-for-nothings, become legends in their own worlds.
Many years later, when someone reaches the pinnacle and traces the opportunities that shaped their life, they discover in horror that the "System" they revered as the Heavenly Dao was nothing more than something casually handed out by a certain fellow in another world.
Across the Myriad Worlds, legends of Systems are everywhere.
No one knows that every System traces back to the same person.
Li Xuan gazed at the Host slots that had lit up again in his sea of consciousness and lightly tapped a finger.
"Who should I give the next one to...?"
