Also known as: The System Booted Up After I Became a Big Shot Through Relentless Grinding
Chi Yan transmigrated into a cultivation world, a good-for-nothing from the start.
He thought he was the kind of person who could defy fate through sheer determination, so he trained day and night, fighting over magic treasures, spirit beasts, and medicinal herbs, and offending the whole Three Realms. Three hundred years later, he had beaten every sect elder in the cultivation world and established himself as a top-tier star.
Just as he thought his path to immortality was complete and he was about to reach the pinnacle of life, the System that had transmigrated with him and lain dormant for three hundred years suddenly activated.
[System: Beep. Good-for-nothing Comeback System activated.]
Chi Yan: "...?"
Dude. You didn't say this was a cultivation novel!
It turned out he had transmigrated into the protagonist of a comeback novel, a domineering hero who was supposed to endure countless trials in the beginner village, follow the System's instructions, and steadily rise to greatness. But now...
[System: Mission one: Return to Tianling Sect and have Ji Yufeng teach you swordsmanship. Mission reward: Stay alive. Failure: Death.]
Chi Yan: "..."
Ji Yufeng had indeed been his senior brother three hundred years ago, but now they were so estranged that whenever they met, they only tried to gut each other.
Worse still... Ji Yufeng had long since fallen into the demonic path and become the King of Ten Thousand Demons. After three hundred years, he could only have become even more twisted.
In short, his good days were over, starting today. Though, to be fair, they hadn't started yet.
--
Ji Yufeng had been the Demon Realm's king for three hundred years. There was little to do in the Demon Realm, so he spent his days reading, playing chess, sipping tea, and fishing. Then one day, Chi Yan came to see him.
Chi Yan: "Senior Brother, would you come back to Tianling Sect with me and teach me swordsmanship?"
Ji Yufeng kept a blank face, but internally he was screaming: Three hundred years, and you're only coming to find me now!!!
Instead, he pushed the tea toward him and said, "Drink it."
Chi Yan: "Senior Brother, this tea is so bitter."
Ji Yufeng: "Serves you right."
--
Three hundred years ago, Ji Yufeng was already a swordsmanship prodigy. He had created the peerless Heartless Sword Technique, undefeated under heaven. Because his junior brother kept clamoring to learn swordsmanship, he waited every day at places his junior brother would pass by.
And was silently walked past.
Chi Yan did nothing but cultivate every day, declaring that he would become the greatest under heaven. Ji Yufeng passed by him, and he was cultivating. Ji Yufeng brought him food, and he was cultivating. Ji Yufeng wanted to give him a present, and he was still cultivating!
Later, Ji Yufeng was framed by the various immortal sects and fell into the demonic path. Chi Yan was still cultivating...
Only today did his junior brother, who had reached the peak of cultivation, finally remember that he had a senior brother.
So, was he finally ready to act like a person?
Max-level menace gong x cool and aloof demon king shou
P.S.: There is no scum gong or masochistic shou, just two idiots finally finding their way to each other after three hundred years.
The mutual feelings are very strong.
Don't blame the gong. He really didn't know.
He thought his senior brother was so powerful that he didn't need him and didn't want him anymore.
That's what he thought.
Content warning: This story isn't for readers with extreme gong or shou preferences.
Theme: Freedom has never meant breaking fate. It means that at last, we can simply be ourselves.
