1: Chapter 1: Five Hundred Years of Sign-in, Emerging from Seclusion as an Emperor

"Old Ancestor! Old Ancestor, I beg you to exit seclusion!"

"The Tianming Sect has raised an army to invade. Our Gu Family has suffered heavy casualties. I fear we are on the brink of annihilation!"

"Our Gu Family has reached a life-or-death moment. I beg you, Old Ancestor, to exit seclusion!"

A middle-aged man knelt before a secret chamber.

His cries were shrill and desperate, filled with helplessness.

Five hundred years had passed. He did not know if this Old Ancestor had already passed away; he only hoped the Old Ancestor was still in this world.

Inside the secret chamber, Gu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, which were replaced by a cold gaze.

...

Five hundred years ago, he was a model youth who spent his days helping old ladies cross the street.

Although he was an orphan with no Family, he did good deeds every day.

Who knew that one day, while helping an old lady cross the street without looking at the traffic lights, he would meet his fate.

Crack!

Gu Xuan Transmigrated to this Desolate Ancient Continent.

The Desolate Ancient Continent was in a golden age of Cultivate, where martial prowess was supreme. The Realm ranged from Mortal Martial and Qi Gathering, all the way to the heavens, up to the Great Emperor Realm.

This was a world of Cultivate where everyone could Cultivate, but it was also a dangerous world.

Not only could humans Cultivate, but even Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts could Cultivate.

In this world, strength was supreme; only the powerful had the right to speak.

The Desolate Ancient Continent is a grand stage; if you have a dream, come on over.

Logically speaking, having Transmigrated here, he should inevitably be a Child of the Plane or a Child of Luck, with explosive talent, causing various big shots to scramble for him.

And then, using his personal charm, the precious daughters of powerful Families would scramble to have his children.

But reality was not what he had imagined.

Gu Xuan opened his eyes and only saw an ancient secret chamber, with the air filled with a dusty atmosphere.

Strange memories flooded in.

He was the Old Ancestor of the Gu Family, a small Family in the Qingyun Province of the Eastern Region.

But this Old Ancestor was living a truly miserable life.

His Lifespan was running out, his Realm was stuck at the Peak of the Profound Origin Realm, and he could not achieve a Breakthrough. As soon as he closed his eyes, his body was taken over by him, a Transmigrator from Earth.

"Starting off as a dying Old Ancestor?"

In this Desolate Ancient Continent, the Profound Origin Realm could only be considered an ordinary person; any slightly stronger Cultivator could crush him to death with a wave of their hand.

Gu Xuan's mouth twitched, and his heart turned cold.

Others had full benefits upon Transmigration, but he had directly become a dying Trash Old Ancestor.

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice rang in his mind!

[Detecting host information]

[Host: Gu Xuan]

[Identity: Gu Family Old Ancestor]

[Realm: Profound Origin Realm (Peak)]

[Lifespan: 1 year and 6 months]

[Ding! You can draw a prize once daily. Do you wish to draw?]

Boom!

Gu Xuan's eyes lit up instantly. Could this be the Golden Finger for Transmigrators!

"System, holy crap, is this the System that every Transmigrator must have? Novels do not deceive me."

For a moment, Gu Xuan was incredibly excited.

He had thought it was a disastrous start, but he hadn't expected his cheat to arrive so timely.

If it weren't for the System, he would have planned to just loaf around in the Gu Family waiting for death.

With this System, the nature of things had changed.

"System, draw for me!"

[Ding! Starting the draw...]

[Congratulations to the host, you have received the reward: 500 years of Lifespan!]

Boom!

A rich essence of life instantly swept through Gu Xuan's body!

His originally decaying Physical Body rejuvenated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Lifespan updated: 501 years and 6 months!]

This is the feeling!

"System, do you have any other functions?" Gu Xuan asked about the System's functions.

[No other functional tasks currently available]

[You can draw a prize once daily. Draw rewards are random; Lifespan, Cultivation, Realm, Cultivation Technique, etc., can all be obtained through draws!]

The response received was unsatisfactory.

It could only draw prizes; there were no other functions.

However, the surging vitality within his body was real.

He had the Lifespan, but his Realm was still at the Profound Origin Realm, weak and unbearable.

And since the System required a daily draw to obtain rewards, Gu Xuan immediately made the most sensible decision.

Seclusion!

Gu Xuan made a prompt decision, and his majestic voice passed through the secret chamber and spread throughout the entire Gu Family ancestral grounds.

"This Venerable One is entering seclusion to impact the Dao. During this seclusion, I will not concern myself with worldly affairs."

"You all must remember, unless it is a catastrophe that threatens the annihilation of the Gu Family, no one is allowed to step half a step into this place. Violators will be expelled from the Family and treated as traitors!"

Outside, the members of the Gu Family heard the Old Ancestor's voice and knelt to kowtow, respectfully replying:

"We respectfully obey the Old Ancestor's decree!"

Crack!

The heavy stone door of the secret chamber slammed shut, sealing it completely.

Gu Xuan sat cross-legged in the center of the secret chamber.

"Give me some time, and it will be enough for me to rise in this world relying on the System."

[Ding! The host has started seclusion and received one daily draw opportunity.]

Seclusion began from this moment.

Five hundred years of time was but a snap of the fingers for the Desolate Ancient Continent.

For Gu Xuan, however, it was a long journey of drawing prizes.

[Ding! Received: Great Emperor-level Cultivation Technique "Eternal Emperor Scripture"!]

[Ding! Received: Ten Immortal Veins, 6666 times Spiritual Qi concentration]

[Ding! Received: Law fragments × 999!]

...

[Received: Primordial Grandmist Sacred Body]

[Received: enlightenment tea 99999 jin]

[Received: Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, Ginseng Fruit Tree]

[Received: Longevity Spiritual Liquid 99999 liters]

...

[Received: High-Grade Spirit Stone × 100 million!]

[Received: ultimate emperor weapon: Primordial Unity Sword]

[Received: Imperial Rank Medicinal Pill × 99999!]

[Received: Family-Protecting Imperial Array!]

[Received: Various talents, visions, secret techniques...]

Medicinal Pills, divine weapons, secret techniques, heritage...

In five hundred years, the System rewards had piled up like a mountain, enough to allow a small Family to rise directly into a super invincible hegemon.

Five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Xuan had originally only wanted to be a bit steady.

He hadn't expected to be too steady.

Now that his clansmen were looking for him outside the secret chamber, Gu Xuan finally remembered that he was still the Old Ancestor of the Gu Family.

But in these five hundred years, his Cultivation had not improved in the slightest, which made Gu Xuan panic for a moment.

If the opponent's Cultivation was a bit stronger, wouldn't he be finished?

At this moment, the System's voice rang out.

[Daily sign-in, does the host wish to sign in?]

Gu Xuan was irritable, but he did not refuse the System's reward.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have received the reward: Great Emperor Realm Perfection Cultivation!]

[Cultivation is in Fusion, the System is shielding the Laws of heaven and earth]

"Holy crap!"

Gu Xuan's face was full of disbelief; this was the highest Realm in the Desolate Ancient Continent!

He didn't know if he had misheard, or if the System had said it wrong.

But as the System prompted, the Great Emperor Cultivation began to pour into Gu Xuan's body!

Boom!!!

Gu Xuan's whole body shook as the Cultivation poured in. His aura instantly soared, and in an instant, he broke through from the Peak of the Profound Origin Realm to the King Realm.

The speed of the soaring aura made Gu Xuan feel exhilarated!

Sovereign Realm Perfection!

Half-step Transcendence.

Break!

Half-Saint Realm Perfection!

...

Saint Realm Perfection!

...

Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection!

The barrier of the Quasi-Emperor Realm shattered in response, and endless Dao Laws descended from the sky, crazily pouring into Gu Xuan's body.

All Realms were pushed through in an instant!

Straight to the Great Emperor Realm!

Great Emperor Realm Perfection!

The Dao bowed its head, and all Laws returned to his body!

Lifespan of one million, combat power unparalleled!

This is the Great Emperor Realm!

Fortunately, the System had already shielded the Laws of heaven and earth; otherwise, the power of the Breakthrough would have been enough to shatter the surrounding ten thousand miles.

[Ding! Five hundred years of sign-ins, loading complete: The Strongest Family in the Heavens System, activated!]

[The host will develop the Family to the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, and Cultivate the Disciples within the Family!]

[Detected that others have come to your doorstep; the host can no longer sit still and wait for death. Those who offend the host's Family, even if far away, must be executed!]

[Please, host, clear out the Tianming Sect Trash to serve as a warning. Completing the mission will grant you the Four Great Guardian Divine Beasts and a Saint-level Summoning Card!]

"Holy crap! This is a Great Emperor, this is the strongest in the Desolate Ancient Continent! A powerful Physical Body, terrifying combat power."

Gu Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Now that others had come to his doorstep, it was time to exit seclusion!

Realm Ranks: Qi Gathering, Tongxuan, Spirit Sea, King, Emperor, Half-Saint, Saint, Saint King, Eternal, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor!
