Honghuang: I'm Haotian, What Could I Possibly Do Wrong?

Reborn in the Primordial World, he becomes Haotian, just as the Heavenly Court is founded, and gains the Dao-Proving Difficulty Adjustment System. By adjusting the difficulty of proving the Dao, he can earn rewards based on how far he gets. At first, he thinks the System can only lower the difficulty of his own Dao-proving journey. But after successfully severing a corpse, he earns not only a spiritual treasure, but also points that can unlock characters. The newly unlocked Dao-proving character is the Flame Emperor. “Shennong Tastes a Hundred Herbs”: difficulty raised to Hard. The Flame Emperor eats a poisonous herb and sleeps for a century. “Shennong Practices Slash-and-Burn Farming”: difficulty raised to Hell. A bolt of heavenly fire burns the Flame Emperor’s Great Luo true body to ashes. … The newly unlocked Dao-proving character is the Yellow Emperor. “The Yellow Emperor Forges the Nine Tripods”: difficulty raised to Hell. The Nine Tripods explode, crushing the Yellow Emperor’s body to powder. … The newly unlocked Dao-proving character is Chi You. … Years later, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa and Houtu, Jieyin and Zhunti, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Patriarch Minghe… the Three Skies, the Twelve Golden Immortals… Yang Jian, Nezha… all gather at the Heavenly Court. “We beg Your Majesty to stop using your divine powers!” Haotian: I just want to quietly rule the Three Realms. What could I possibly have in mind?
