At the first lecture in the Zixiao Palace, the great figures of the Primordial World watched coldly as Jieyin and Zhunti complained.
Hongyun had just given up his cushion, and before Jieyin could sit down, an outsider from beyond the heavens took it.
The outsider, Guili: ...
Thanks for the invite. I just transmigrated. What is going on?
System: [Congratulations, Host. You have been bound to the Supreme Choice System.]
[We have detected that you have already incurred the murderous intent of Jieyin and Zhunti. A quest is now being issued.
Choice One: Give up the cushion and receive a beginner's gift pack.
Choice Two: Keep the cushion and receive the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint.]
Guili: Buddha Jieyin? Namo Bodhisattva Zhunti?
Guili promptly gave up the cushion. His life mattered more, and he didn't even know where he was.

Who was Hongjun, and how had he become the Dao Ancestor?
Guili might as well have called himself the Jade Emperor!
What kind of world was this? Wasn't the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning the foremost of the Three Pure Ones, the highest gods of Daoism? Why was he ranked second here?
-
Years later, someone asked Venerable Guili what had led him to sainthood.
Guili touched the bracelet made of twelve Chaos Beads on his wrist and smiled calmly. “I was lucky. I got bound to a System and made a living by exploiting its surplus value.”

1. The protagonist hasn't read novels about the Primordial World. He only knows a few common facts and is careful about how he conducts himself.
2. This is a comedy with no logic. The protagonist has twelve Chaos Beads, for goodness' sake. Where would the logic be?
