After transmigrating into the Primordial World, Lin Yan becomes an ordinary servant on Golden Turtle Island, unable even to draw in qi.
On the third day, a book appears in his palm.
[Choice 1] A Yao Clan servant named A Sang. Original history: survives until the Age of the Investiture of the Gods, then becomes the first to die in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. Current situation: to be executed at the Disciplinary Hall in three days. [Go with the flow] Do not interfere. Reward: early-stage Celestial Immortal cultivation, three Foundation-Nourishing Pills, and the complete Art of Drawing in Qi. [Go against the flow] Interfere. Cost: the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Book never forces his hand.
It simply makes the reward for "watching someone else die" clearer with every passing choice.
It also says that in 947 years, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation will be formed. More than ten thousand people will die in that formation, and at its heart will lie a woman dressed in white. She will look back at an empty place.
This time, he remembers where she looked.
Don't block the calamity. Change its rules. Don't save just one person. Save a way for a whole group to survive.
This time, the immortals need not die.
