[Looking for follows for my next novel, When an S-Rank Sentinel Decides to Return Home and Farm. Blurb at the end]
Yan Xi merely closed and opened his eyes, and woke up in a completely unfamiliar place, with a chattering voice babbling away in his head.
System: Welcome, my Host! This is the mysterious continent of Ista, a land imbued with magical power! And you, my friend, will join me in becoming the ruler of this entire continent!
Yan Xi: ...Where's the exit button?
After being told the terrible news that he had transmigrated to a continent of magic but had no magical power of his own, Yan Xi decided to block out the System's grand ambition to rule the world and focus on keeping himself fed.
But surviving in the wild was no easy feat. A canteen, weapons, food, and water: he had to make everything with his bare hands. Even planting something meant digging every hole by hand.
Fortunately, the System also had an encyclopedia function, containing all the knowledge of the continent of Ista, from the past to the future.
After struggling through hardship until he had finally gathered the basic tools he needed to live, Yan Xi relied on the encyclopedia to find and cultivate in large quantities all kinds of powerful plants and magical beasts that had yet to be discovered by the continent's native inhabitants at that point in time.
Resurrection grass disguised as ordinary weeds; magical flute flowers that bloomed only at dusk and could cure incurable diseases; phantom beasts that looked like rabbits when young and could grow into powerful mounts, but only if they had never been hurt while growing...
One day, when Yan Xi truly stood at the summit thanks to that plot of land he had once cultivated simply to keep himself alive, he realized with a shock that he himself had been the original author of the encyclopedia that recorded the future.
*
Farming was fulfilling, but lonely. Yan Xi tended to his little patch of land in a place practically cut off from the rest of the world, going to town only to trade.
He went so long without seeing another living creature he could talk to that, without his considerate pen pal, he would have suffocated.
Although his pen pal sometimes said some very dangerous things, he always seemed normal again in the next letter.
Yan Xi talked about everything under the sun with him, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
Until one day, the country's second prince, supposedly traveling incognito, stood before Yan Xi and called him by the pseudonym he used for his letters.
Yan Xi looked up in a daze and read the description the System displayed above the man's head in shock: "The Demon King who destroyed the world?!"
Who would have thought the second prince wouldn't get angry? Instead, he grabbed Yan Xi by the shoulders, eyes shining. "Just as I thought! You're the great sage from the prophecy, the one who can help me! Let's destroy the world together!"
The dangerous things he'd said in his letters were about to become reality. But Yan Xi, already lost in his leisurely farming life, said, "...Who are you? I don't know you. I'm leaving."
Second Prince: ?
A seemingly well-behaved but slightly rebellious, razor-witted bottom x an attacker who acts like a normal person but is actually twisted and dark
[Please note:]
1. Farming makes up 90% of the story. This is not world domination in the usual sense.
2. The very early part is wilderness survival. The farming plans won't get underway on any real scale very soon. The story really is a slow burn.
3. The attacker is the second prince. He appears fairly late and has little presence early on, mainly appearing in letters. He only makes a proper appearance and meets the bottom face-to-face in the middle and later parts.
4. The focus is on a lighthearted, relaxing story with plenty of snark. No political scheming. Repeating point one.

Blurb for When an S-Rank Sentinel Decides to Return Home and Farm:
One day, a message filled the main pages of every interstellar social channel:
[The S-rank Sentinel Liming Shen, who could kill gods and Buddhas alike, has finally retired!!]
The people of the Puman Federation wanted him to return to service, while those from enemy federations wanted to assassinate him. They searched for him independently, only to end up staring at one another when they crossed paths on Independent Planet No. 13.
Independent Planet No. 13 was one of the few planets that still maintained a lifestyle considered practically primitive. It was independent under the protection of interstellar pirates.
Everyone wondered what Liming Shen was doing there, when the scout at the very front sent back a report.
Scout: Liming Shen is farming!
Everyone: ?
Scout: ...And it looks pretty tasty, (lost contact)
Everyone: ??
*
Liming Shen raised a hand to wipe the sweat from his temple and watched as yet another small starship inexplicably crashed on the horizon.
The rice seedlings he'd planted had grown waist-high, swaying in the airflow from the crash. The basket at his waist held fruit that had just ripened recently: a little sour, and still in need of improvement.
"When will I finally be able to farm in peace..." Liming Shen sighed, then summoned his spirit form, a flying dragon, to investigate as easily as if he'd done it a hundred times.
A hand silently settled on his shoulder. The dragon, already half a mile away, abruptly turned around and flew back to nuzzle against the newcomer, begging to be petted.
"This time it's little bugs from the Bee Ant Alliance. We should be careful with our rice and fruit trees."
Liming Shen sullenly shook off his ex-boyfriend's hand and stressed, "This is my field."
*
One day, a message once again filled the main pages of every platform in the familiar way:
[Incredible! The rice cultivated by Liming Shen has been certified to have the unusual effect of enhancing mental power. The moment it went on sale, crowds flooded the market!!]
Everyone... made no response online.
At the food market on Independent Planet No. 13, residents of different federations, dressed in all sorts of clothes and belonging to all kinds of species, crowded around a small stall, arguing with near-fanatical fervor:
"I got here first! I have an allocation for one bag of rice! Sell it to me first!"
"Bah! I have allocations for two bags of rice and three bags of Baiyin fruit! Which scalper are you? Get lost!"
In a corner of the planet, far from the bustle, Liming Shen lounged comfortably in a chair beneath a tree, enjoying the shade.
Someone beside him popped a translucent pearl fruit into his mouth, and his mental sea instantly felt cool and clear.
Liming Shen: Ah, I really do love farming best.
[A decisive former Federation general and Sentinel who only wants a peaceful life x an interstellar pirate leader and Guide with troops at his command who only wants to wait for someone to keep their appointment]

Teacher, do you know that our circle values thirty, which means that you must update thirty chapters to gain a foothold in the online literary circle.
Forty without Confusion: Forty chapters are updated every day. Only then can you continue to receive gratitude and praise from readers and no longer be confused about the meaning of writing.
You know your destiny at fifty: 50 chapters are updated every day, you are your destiny, and the entire website praises you.
Sixty and easy to listen to: that is, when you can update 60 chapters a day, everything you say will be easy to listen to, including readers.
When you are seventy, just follow your heart and do not go beyond the rules: if you can update 70 chapters a day, you can do whatever you want!
Well, teacher, I just want to ask a little bit. I definitely don't mean to offend. Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe I'm actually hallucinating. No matter what, I hope that we can adhere to the principles of friendship and rationality in getting along, and don't hurt our friendship because of some possible misunderstandings. Finally, I have absolutely no intention of offending. I just follow the great spirit of inquiry into the nature of the universe and the pursuit of truth and pragmatism.
Mental questions:
"Teacher, can you update more? [Send my heart] [Send my heart]"

So pretty🥺Men are menstruating🙄Women are crazy when they look at it💪This is the nemesis of depression😎It's the alarm clock for vegetative people😭It's so cute that tears flow from the corners of the mouth and flood into the Qiantang River😱So handsome😘Yes God is my rose, it illuminates my dark life and makes my world meaningful😊I run, I jump, I dance the tango on the balcony of the 20th floor😮It makes me realize that God does exist, I am so cute that I cry From now on, the world will no longer be short of water. The nemesis of depression 😋 is the alarm clock for vegetative people 😨 So cute that tears flow out of the corners of the mouth and flood into the Qiantang River 😈 It sounds so good 🥰 God is my rose, it illuminates my dark life and makes my world meaningful 😙 I ran, I jumped, I danced the tango on the balcony of the 20th floor, which made me realize that God does exist. I was so well-heard that my tears did not stop. From now on, the world will no longer be short of water.
How dare you talk about home affairs when the four seasons are wandering?
The five elements lack money and sorrow arises in the heart!
If the six paths fail, everything will be worse than human beings!
The seven exquisite orifices can be read all over the world!
It's hard to know the beauty's heart from all the beautiful faces!
The journey to the Nine Heavens is far away and difficult to reach in this lifetime.
The ten ghosts and gods do not bless the poor people.
How dare you read it when it is so wonderfully written?
