Aspiring to the Immortal Path - Chapter 810: Before the Battle

Chen Qing transmigrated, only to find himself in a chaotic world where Martial Arts reign supreme and human lives are as cheap as grass.He starts out as the son of a poor fisherman's family in Mute Bay. His father was taken for corvée labor and has not been heard from since, while the orphan and his widowed mother are exploited layer by layer by the Government Office's taxes and the “Dragon King Incense” gang, leaving them struggling on the verge of starvation.But Heaven never seals off all paths. In his mind hangs a【Fate Plate: Heaven Rewards Diligence, and Success is Guaranteed】!This means that for any skill, there are no aptitude thresholds or bottleneck hindrances for him. As long as he puts in the effort, a reward is guaranteed!

With the descent of the Demon Monarchs, humanity was pushed to the brink of total annihilation by the demons of the underworld and their disciples. But with the manifestation of the Divine System, those chosen by the divine beings rose up to save humanity.At the age of sixteen, teenagers awaken their systems and abilities—each granted a class suited to them—allowing them to battle the creatures of darkness and protect their world from the abyss.Michael was the son of a poor family and, even after reaching the required age, he didn’t awaken his system.One day, he was bullied and beaten nearly to death.At the brink of death, as the light faded from his eyes and his vision blurred, his system finally awakened.[The Divine System has awakened][Awakening begins...][Awakening successful][Class: Shadow Monarch][Affinity: Divine Shadow & Lightning][Innate Talent: Lineage of the Shadow God]That was what he saw before passing out.The boy who was once mocked and humiliated now carries the lineage of a forgotten god.But… was he the only one?

Su Qinglan sat cross-legged on the grass, holding the chubbiest tiger cub she’d ever seen.“Aww… Look at you,” she whispered, booping its tiny nose. “So cute I could eat you up...”A sudden shadow loomed over her.“What’s so good about this stinky cub?” a deep, amused voice asked.She blinked up… and froze.Towering above her was a tall tiger beast man, his golden eyes narrowed in a lazy, predatory smile.“Let’s have ours,” he said.Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited.… Ours? OURS?!Before she could process, in the next moment she was hoisted up onto his broad shoulder like a sack of grain and carried straight toward the cave.Su Qinglan was so choked by the suddenness of it all… she forgot to even complain.***Su Qinglan’s knees knocked together as she stared up at the enormous serpent.Its cold, red eyes narrowed, the flick of its tongue tasting the air between them.“D-Don’t eat me,” she stammered, hugging herself. “I...I’m not tasty… really, I’m stringy and full of… uh… bad cholesterol.”The snake’s head lowered until it was mere inches from her face. Her fox ears twitched wildly.And then, before she could blink...its massive body shimmered, scales turning into bronzed skin and lean muscle.Standing before her was a man so breathtakingly handsome that Su Qinglan’s poor fox eyes watered just looking at him.Su Qinglan swallowed hard, her tail fluffing up in panic.“I… I…” Her voice cracked.Okay, new problem… the snake is hot.She squeezed her eyes shut.“If you… if you really want…” She blurted, her face burning, “…y-you can… take me.”***One moment Su Qinglan was fighting with the zombie king with all her might.Boom!The next, she woke up in a bizarre beast world… inside the body of a lazy, pampered, fat local tyrant everyone hated.The “original” Su Qinglan had been an arrogant, scheming villainess who spent her days bullying weaker beast women, chasing after handsome males, and terrorizing the tribe kids. Now, thanks to fate’s twisted sense of humor, Qinglan had inherited the body and the bad reputation.But honestly? Being fat in a beast world was still better than starving in the apocalypse. At least here, she could eat.The only problem? In this world, men weren’t just men, they were beastmen. Tall, strong, dangerous… And apparently, every beast woman was expected to have several husbands. The catch? The “original” Qinglan’s antics had scared away every decent male within a ten-mile radius.Armed with her apocalyptic survival instincts, a sharp tongue, and a mysterious system that suddenly activated...“Binding with host…“”Congratulations, host, for successfully arriving in the beast world.“Qinglan decided she wasn’t going to cry about fate.If she had to live here, then she’d live big, literally.
