Su Wuque grew up in a little village.
He planted vegetables and picked fruit, cut grass and fed pigs, and cooked over the fire. Life was peaceful and calm as he spent his days with his grandmother, grandfather, uncles, aunts, and the rest of his family.
When he was six, a voice appeared in his head, claiming to be the System. It said he was the protagonist of this world, destined for a life of hardship.
On his eighteenth birthday, the mountain village would be massacred. To avenge his family, he would embark on the path of cultivation.
As a handsome, powerful, tragic Dragon-Aotian protagonist, he would defy fate with a mortal body, enduring countless sufferings and trials, mocked, hunted, and framed...
After surviving countless brushes with death, he would finally attain enlightenment in a desperate situation, vanquish his enemies, and achieve the Great Dao.
And now, all he had to do was listen to the System, struggle to seize opportunities ahead of time, use cheat after cheat to slap his enemies in the face, and become a badass Dragon-Aotian protagonist!
Six-year-old Su Su couldn't understand the System's incomprehensible babbling. He put away his little iron knife, tied it to the wooden sword at his waist, and tossed the fruit he'd picked into his basket.
The System suddenly blew its top.
It shrieked in his head: "Aaaah! A Godslaying Blade forged from Nine Heavens Meteoric Iron! Why do you have this?!"
Su Su answered obediently, "I don't know... Uncle Ling told me to use it to cut grass for the pigs."
The System's voice crumbled: "And that's Eastern Sky Divine Wood and Dragon-Binding Vines! What a waste! What a waste!"
Su Su blinked.
Was it talking about the little wooden sword Grandpa Xie had carved for him and the little grass basket Grandma Qiu had woven?
And those hundred-year-old, rarely seen Xuan Yuan spirit herbs and Fire Jujube Immortal Fruits the System mentioned? He ate those as snacks all the time.
Su Su jumped down from the tree, called his little black dog, and went to wash his hands in a nearby spring.
"A Spirit-Washing Spring?! Aaaah, one drop is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones! You're using it to wash your hands?!"
Su Su: "I wash in it too."

The Great Dao is merciless, and the cycles of life repeat endlessly.
When fate descends and designates a child, still in his youth, to bear the unbearable burden of saving the world,
countless terrifying auras rose into the air from the quiet mountain hollow.
The peerless talents who had withdrawn from the cultivation world a thousand years ago revealed the faces they had worn in their youth, along with the fearsome reputations they'd earned by cutting their way through the world of cultivation.
The Talisman Cultivator's innate Tianyan Formation firmly protected the still-sleeping Su Su.
An assassin hid in the darkness, ready to launch a lethal strike at any moment.
A Gu Master pinched a poisonous flying insect between their fingers. "So you're the one bullying our little darling?"
Cold light hummed beside the Sword Cultivator, murderous intent clear in his voice. "Get the hell out of here."
The healer held a folding fan and chuckled. "We raised our precious Su Su ourselves. You want our darling to suffer? You'd better think carefully about whether you're a match for us."
What nonsense about the Heavenly Dao and destiny? The last generation of protagonists in this world is still alive!
If you want to hurt their little one, you'll have to beat them first!
Reader's Guide:
1. A found-family story about raising a beloved child. The main story begins when they find little Su Su; a slow-paced, everyday-life story.
2. The love interest appears much later and isn't mentioned in the blurb.
3. What good is a useless System if all it can do is chatter in Su Su's ear?
