In the Galar region, Bea, the Fighting-type Gym Leader of the Ancient Town, possesses Machamp; her four arms can deliver 1000 punches in two seconds. In the Kalos region, Champion Diantha's Gardevoir can distort space with psychic powers to create black holes. In the Kanto region, Sabrina, the Saffron Gym Leader, can single-handedly seal off an entire city with her psychic abilities, making her stronger than most Psychic-type Pokémon. Pikachu: Why are you telling me all this? Ash: These future opponents will be your responsibility, partner. Pikachu: But I'm just a random electric mouse you see everywhere on the street! Ash: Let's start with the weaker ones. Ash: On the left is Gyarados, 6.5 meters long and weighing 2.5 tons. Ash: On the right is Onix, 8.8 meters long and weighing 30 tons. Ash: Have confidence in yourself, partner. Pikachu: =_= God's data panel and miscellaneous thoughts

I woke up to find myself transmigrated into the body of a top-tier rich kid on an alien planet. I thought I could finally relax and enjoy a life of luxury, but a cataclysmic change suddenly struck – humanity was forcibly relocated, scattered across the vast universe. The cruel laws of the stars revealed themselves: each person randomly draws a ship and companion, ranging from an F-class mining vessel to an SSS-class interstellar mothership, determining the life or death of their civilization. Just as I was about to draw, the [Lucky System] suddenly bound itself to me, along with a [Today's Limited-Time Lucky Card]! "Ding – Congratulations on obtaining the unique SSS-class ship, the interstellar mothership!" (Its size is comparable to half the Earth!) "Ding – Congratulations on obtaining the unique companion, the interstellar mother!" (Capable of hatching billions of Zerg soldiers!) While others boasted about their B-class cruisers and complained about their F-class fishing boats in the interstellar channel, I looked at the mothership that blotted out the sky behind me and the restless mothers beside me, and silently chose to hide my information. "I'll develop discreetly for now. My journey is this very starry sea."

Eighteen years after transmigrating to the world of cultivation, the belated system suddenly arrives!

The excited Long Tao was not greeted with the treatment of a protagonist, but rather...

"Binding error. The host is not the chosen one. Since the binding cannot be removed, please complete the system task in place of the chosen one. Please also transfer any opportunities and rewards obtained during the task to the chosen one. Task failed: death."

Faced with this ridiculous situation, he could only be forced by the system to do tasks that were not his responsibility.

However, those missions that are just the right level of difficulty for the chosen ones and fit the plot of a wish-fulfillment novel are a matter of life and death for him, a minor character who is only at the Qi Refining stage! Just figuring out how to safely sneak into the mission site is enough to make him worry until his hair turns white.

What's even more breathtaking is that the true chosen one's cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds! While Long Tao is still struggling to break through the Qi Refining bottleneck, the other party has already made great strides to the late Foundation Establishment stage and is about to form the Core! The difficulty of the missions has also skyrocketed, becoming more and more outrageous with each one.

Thus, an ordinary disciple with only Qi Refining cultivation often appeared mysteriously at top-level events where powerful figures gathered!

......

"Please go to the 'Demon Burial Abyss' immediately, sign in at the core area of ​​the battle between the Demon Lord and True Lord Luo Hong, and stop the two from fighting on behalf of the Chosen One."

"I'm supposed to reach Foundation Establishment tomorrow! System, I'm begging you, please let me off this time?!"

A murderer and arsonist, a demon of the night, revered by all beings as the Immortal Venerable Chen.

In this treacherous world full of scheming and deceit, Chen Luo knew that only by being smart enough and ruthless enough could he survive.

I'll be all smiles with you during the day, but I'll chop you up at night.

As long as I don't leave a single survivor, no one will know I'm the villain.

Having transmigrated to another world and possessed a cheat system, Gong Jianjian felt invincible! He could dominate everything, slaying immortals, Buddhas, and demons—he was incredibly powerful! But he was always afraid of death… no, he was more like a cautious man! Gong Jianjian, who advocated a stealthy development and steady growth, needed to draw aggro to gain attribute points? "Ding! Player has gained attribute points!" "All points to increase your health!! Don't be a coward!" The powerful figures from all sides were shocked: "Even ancient killing formations couldn't harm him?" "What? Even the forbidden zone of life and death couldn't take his life?!" "Just who is he?!"

At the age of six, Xiao Tao was sold into a brokerage firm by her parents for an acre of land. In the filthy brokerage, she seized every opportunity to learn skills to make a living, never losing her kind heart. When natural disaster struck, forcing her to flee thousands of miles, she turned her life around from an ordinary girl fleeing famine to the virtuous wife of a scholar, rewriting the fate of women from the lower classes with her own hands!

(Not a time-travel story, not a reincarnation story, no cheat codes; not a wish-fulfillment story, ensemble piece. Setting: Fictional world.)

Traversing a wasteland, monsters roam freely, and civilization and order have vanished.

In his despair, Lin Yue activated the [Pet Evolution System]. He started with a little grass turtle, and as long as he fed it energy crystals, it could evolve infinitely!

While others were still fighting with mutated dogs for food, Lin Yue was already lying on the turtle's back sunbathing.

While others were still building shelters out of planks and praying that they wouldn't be destroyed by ferocious beasts at night, Lin Yue had already planned out a three-bedroom, one-living-room house on the turtle's back.

While others formed convoys and risked their lives to cross the radiation zone, Lin Yue's giant tortoise had already transformed into a mobile fortress, carrying an entire city and touring the wasteland!

"Brother, wanna join? My city is absolutely safe!"

If becoming a "tool" is already an inescapable and cruel fate,

What's even more cruel than that is maintaining one's human nature throughout the process.

The real world is destined to have imperfections, but there will always be those who refuse to be assimilated into that imperfect part.

They must use reason, emotion, and all purposeful labor to fight against this fate.

...

In the year 4631 of the world calendar, a middle-aged man who had been imprisoned in a foreign land for many years returned to his homeland, and the story officially began from there.

Exiled by their family to the cursed Ash Wasteland, they face poisoning by their squires right from the start.

In his desperate situation, Xia awakened the [Oracle of Destiny], allowing him to glimpse a corner of the future.

Starting with a doomed banquet, he embarked on a path of defying fate, rising from the ashes to become king.

When winter comes, the entire North becomes a living hell, but his territory remains warm as spring, with mountains of food.

With his knowledge ahead of his time, he transformed the wasteland into a land of miracles; with absolute benevolence and iron-fisted authority, he forged the refugees into the most loyal subjects.

The dragon egg in the mountain's belly is his blood-related companion; the doctor he casually picked up by the roadside is a treasure trove of life-saving skills; the business queen he saved opened up a golden trade route to the world for him; and the cold and proud Sir Winter ultimately presented him with a crown symbolizing power.

When the wings of dragons blot out the sky, and the roar of steam echoes through the North, the whole world will finally hear the whispers of the Ash Dragon King.

Li Jiangchen transmigrates to a world of demons and monsters, his soul possessing the body of a useless nobody in the Giant Spirit God's Mansion.

Surviving against all odds, he awakened the supreme talent of "Slaying Demons and Attaining the Dao"—by slaying demons and eliminating evil, he could plunder their lifelong cultivation, Daoist techniques, and even their innate supernatural powers!

The bear demon was slain at Black Wind Mountain, and its demonic martial art, the Mountain-Moving Blood Slaughter Palm, was seized.

The fox demon who had entered the Daoist path was beheaded, and its illusory world cultivation technique, the [Heavenly Fox Illusionary Spirit Technique], was seized.

The Celestial Demon parasitizes and destroys the embryo, devouring its treacherous supernatural powers [Celestial Demon Parasitism Technique]

From then on, the hidden meridians opened, the sacred body was forged, the golden elixir was of the highest quality, and one step could ascend to immortality!

After many years, Li Jiangchen stood atop the Demon Court, looking down at the trembling demons below, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "Demons, come... to aid my cultivation!"
