Chapter 1

"Ring, ring, ring..."

At the First Middle School, the bell signaling the end of class rang, accompanied by countless footsteps. The entire school began to buzz with activity.

It was evening, a long time before evening study sessions, so there were many people participating in various leisure activities.

Yang Yu, an ordinary boy in Class 3, Grade 1, with average academic performance, stood out only in his status as an orphan and his poor financial situation. However, his handsome appearance was still quite remarkable.

The last class for Class 3, Grade 1 was Chinese. After the class ended, everyone rushed to the cafeteria, and Yang Yu was no exception.

However, after eating, the students of Class 3, Grade 1 did not disperse but gathered together and headed to the basketball court. They surrounded a game, cheering loudly.

Yang Yu followed along. Although he was ordinary, he enjoyed such group activities. After finding a spot in the corner, he smiled and watched the basketball game.

However, when Yang Yu saw a girl on the side of the basketball court, directing the Class 3, Grade 1 basketball team, his eyes filled with admiration.

Zhang Jie, the physical education representative of Class 3, Grade 1, had average academic performance but excelled in all sports, ranking in the top three in the entire grade.

Most importantly, Zhang Jie was very beautiful. Although her appearance might not rival that of a major celebrity, and her figure might not compare to that of a model, from the moment Yang Yu was assigned to Class 3, Grade 1, he fell hopelessly in love with her the first time he saw her.

In Yang Yu's eyes, this girl, who might not be the most beautiful in the world, surpassed all other beauties, even angels.

"Ring!"

"The Multiverse Crossing System has arrived."

"Host detected, all data matched successfully. System officially activated, countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1!"

"Ring, the Multiverse Crossing System is officially activated."

However, just as Yang Yu was staring at the girl in a daze, a sudden voice echoed in his mind, completely unexpected.

"What?" Yang Yu frowned, his gaze sweeping around.

"Host, do you want to enter the system space? All your questions will be answered there."

At this moment, the female voice that had just sounded off spoke again.

"Host, system space? What the heck is that?" Yang Yu looked around, his expression even more puzzled.

"Fine, I'll force you into the system space." The female voice spoke again, directly instructing Yang Yu.

"What the...?"

But before Yang Yu could finish his sentence, his voice suddenly stopped. Although his body remained seated, it had become an empty shell.

"What's going on?" Yang Yu entered a golden space, looking around at the vast golden expanse, his expression very puzzled.

"Hello, ordinary boy."

At this moment, a voice sounded in the golden space. An old man with a pair of white angel wings and a golden halo on his head, along with a tiny fairy, appeared in the golden space.

"..." Yang Yu looked at the old man and the fairy, his expression even more puzzled.

"Ordinary boy, you can call me God. This is the system space I, God, have created. Welcome."

The old man flapped his wings and flew in the sky, looking at Yang Yu with a smile.

"You..."

Yang Yu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Ordinary boy, don't worry. I won't harm you." The old man looked at Yang Yu with a gentle smile.

"You... are really God?" Yang Yu was speechless for a long time before finally managing to ask.

"Human boy, I am God, the supreme being of the universe, the first and only God." The old man nodded with a smile.

"..." Yang Yu was speechless again, his mind in chaos.

"Boy, answer one question, and I will grant you one wish. Are you ready?"

However, the old man seemed a bit unreliable, asking Yang Yu a question out of the blue.

"Question?" Yang Yu frowned, puzzled.

"A simple question." The old man spoke, his face calm and his voice steady.

"Go ahead." Yang Yu nodded.

"Dear boy, I have three systems here. Do you want the gold system, the silver system, or the ordinary system?"

The old man conjured a golden, a silver, and a physical system model in front of him, his face calm as he asked.

"..." Yang Yu looked at the three system models, then at the old man, his expression speechless.

"Boy, have you decided? As long as you choose correctly, I will impart all my abilities to you..."

The old man looked at Yang Yu, speaking with a smile.

"You... are you crazy?" Yang Yu looked at the old man, asking.

"Earth boy, I am God, not crazy." The old man looked at Yang Yu with a smile, showing no anger.

"But why should I choose? I didn't say I wanted this system." Yang Yu looked at the old man, his expression speechless.

"Boy, just answer this question, and you will get many good things."

The old man looked at Yang Yu, speaking patiently with a calm smile.

"Must I choose?" Yang Yu looked at the old man and the fairy, his expression speechless.

"Boy, make your choice quickly. You will receive all my abilities and items." The old man smiled and came to Yang Yu, asking.

"Uh..." Yang Yu looked up at the old man, his expression very strange.

"Boy, come on, which of these three systems is yours?" The old man looked at Yang Yu, his smile intense.

"I say the gold system, do you believe me?" Yang Yu pointed to the gold system, saying.

"Boy, what do you think?" The old man looked at Yang Yu, speechless.

"Then I'll choose the gold system." Yang Yu didn't think much more. Whether it was a dream or not, the gold system seemed more impressive than the other two.

"Boy, are you sure? Choosing the gold system will make you lose your manhood..."

The old man looked at Yang Yu and laughed again.

"Then I'll choose the silver system." Yang Yu looked at the old man, speechless, and said helplessly.

"Boy, are you sure? Choosing the silver system will also make you lose your manhood..."

The old man still looked at Yang Yu, speaking with a smile.

"What do you mean? After all this, I can only choose the ordinary system."

Yang Yu looked at the old man, his face extremely speechless.

"Boy, you're overthinking it. Choosing is your right."

The old man still smiled and said.

"Then I choose the gold system!" Yang Yu looked at the old man, speechless, and said.

"Boy, are you sure? Choosing the gold system will make you lose your manhood..."

"..." Yang Yu looked at the old man, speechless.

"Then I choose the ordinary system. Is that okay?"

Yang Yu looked at the old man, his face dark, and said.

"Boy, I didn't expect you to be so smart, choosing the correct option. You're really smart!"

The old man looked at Yang Yu, throwing away the gold and silver systems with disgust, and then smiled, transforming the ordinary system into a beam of light that entered Yang Yu's body.

Without giving Yang Yu any time to think, the ordinary system model directly entered his mind.

"Ring, the Multiverse Crossing System is now bound to host Yang Yu."

After the system model entered Yang Yu's mind, the fairy flew to him and said.

As for the old man, he had already disappeared.

"I don't know why that old man had to go through such a ceremony."

The fairy flew to Yang Yu, looking at him with a speechless expression.

"Uh..." Yang Yu looked at the fairy, opening his mouth but unable to speak.

"Yang Yu, right?" The fairy sat on Yang Yu's shoulder, smiling and asked.

"Yes, my name is Yang Yu." Yang Yu nodded quickly.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the fairy of the Multiverse Crossing System and your future mentor. You can call me Yulin."

The fairy looked at Yang Yu, flapping her small wings.

"But I don't understand anything right now..."

Yang Yu looked at the fairy, speaking helplessly.

"Actually, it's very simple. I am a super advanced technological fairy, and you are now the owner of this technology. In the future, you will become a cultivator like those in Chinese mythology and become the most powerful being in the world."

The fairy thought for a moment and explained clearly to Yang Yu.

"Cultivator? Me?"

Yang Yu pointed to his nose, his face full of disbelief.

"You're lucky." The fairy Yulin smiled.

"Really? Just because I'm lucky?"

Yang Yu was still incredulous.

"Hey, are you a man? Why are you so indecisive? This system is now yours. You can either use it to become a cultivator or I can destroy you now."

The fairy Yulin waved her small fists, looking ready to be tough with Yang Yu.

"But can I do it? I'm just an ordinary person."

Yang Yu looked at the fairy Yulin, his face showing a hint of strangeness.

"No problem. After you complete your first mission, I guarantee you will be full of confidence."

The fairy Yulin looked at Yang Yu, blinking her eyes playfully.

"Really?" Yang Yu looked at Yulin, a hint of expectation rising in his face.

"Alright, since you're interested now, let me introduce you to the functions of the Multiverse Crossing System."

The fairy Yulin nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay." Yang Yu nodded, looking at Yulin seriously.

"The Multiverse Crossing System has only one goal: to make you the best in all worlds."

The fairy Yulin smiled and said, "The method of cultivation is simple: you will travel through different worlds, and in each world, you will be granted a talent. After becoming the strongest in one world, you will go to another, starting over from childhood, until you integrate your cultivation from all worlds and become a deity."

"Multiverse worlds? What kind of worlds? Other Earths? Or other planets?"

Yang Yu looked at Yulin, very curious.

"These multiverse worlds, in simpler terms, are the movies, anime, and novels on Earth. Although they are not the main world, they are part of the multiverse. I can send you into these worlds to cultivate. Whether you can obtain resources and quickly become the strongest depends on you."

The fairy Yulin spoke, and Yang Yu easily understood her words.

"But if you send me to those places, my body is so weak, I might not even be as strong as a villain's finger."

Yang Yu thought of the powerful villains and protagonists and began to hesitate.

"Let me ask you a question." The fairy Yulin sighed and asked.

"What?"

Yang Yu asked.

"Do you like Zhang Jie?" The fairy Yulin smiled, looking at Yang Yu.

"Um..." Yang Yu touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Now, I'm telling you clearly, if you can complete the tasks of the Multiverse Crossing System and become a god-like being, you will definitely be able to win her heart, live happily ever after, and even achieve immortality."

The fairy Yulin spoke seriously.

"But..."

Yang Yu was still hesitant, as it seemed too good to be true.

"Let me ask you one last question. If she encounters bad people, rich people, gangsters, or even cultivators in the future, can you protect her?"

The fairy Yulin looked at Yang Yu, speaking seriously.

"Probably not?"

Yang Yu frowned.

"There are cultivators on Earth, gangsters, and rich people. Do you understand the current society?"

The fairy Yulin spoke.

"I..."

Yang Yu opened his mouth, thinking of Zhang Jie's face and the dangers she might face, his heart aching as if being torn by two large hands.

"You're just thinking about it now, but you haven't encountered it yet."

The fairy Yulin spoke.

"Damn!"

Yang Yu's body trembled, and he looked at the fairy Yulin seriously.

"Great, let's start the first mission then."

The fairy Yulin smiled, nodding at Yang Yu's determined expression.

"What mission?"

Yang Yu asked, his face showing no fear.

"The first mission is simple and purely a bonus. If you can handle it well, you will dominate Earth."

Yulin smiled confidently.

"Tell me, the first mission."

Yang Yu nodded.

"Look for yourself."

Yulin nodded and summoned a virtual panel, which displayed Yang Yu's first mission.

"System Task: Travel to the Journey to the West world and cultivate to become the supreme being."

"Journey to the West?"

Yang Yu looked at Yulin, his eyes full of shock.

"Don't be surprised. You'll go to many more worlds in the future."

Yulin smiled.

"Got it. Should I go now or later?"

Yang Yu looked at Yulin, his face showing a hint of excitement.

"No rush. Before going to the next world, you can draw a prize. Each time you enter a world, you will get one chance to draw a prize, which will be your cultivation talent."

Yulin shook her head and smiled.

"Really?"

Yang Yu looked at Yulin, surprised.

"Shall we start the draw?"

Yulin looked at Yang Yu, smiling. Words are useless; you'll understand once you see it.

"Sure, let's start the draw. I'm getting excited."

Yang Yu nodded.

Then, a golden wheel began to form in front of Yang Yu and Yulin, like a golden sun.

In the system space, the golden wheel was as blinding as the sun in the summer sky, making Yang Yu's eyes almost unable to open.

"This thing looks really grand."

Yang Yu raised his eyebrows, looking at the huge golden wheel with curiosity.

"Shall we start the draw now? All the items in this wheel are extraordinary. As long as you don't die in the Journey to the West world, you will definitely return alive."

The system space remained silent, but the system's voice sounded.

"Let's start the draw."

The system's voice sounded.

The next second, the draw wheel began to spin in the air, with countless golden rays surging from all sides, making the wheel emit a terrifying glow.

"Stop."

Yang Yu, the one drawing, spoke, making the golden wheel stop spinning.

"Ring!"

A moment later, a clear sound echoed in the system space, making Yang Yu look at the draw wheel.

"Ring, congratulations, host, you have drawn the God-level Soul Core—Mystic Soul Core. The draw item will awaken automatically when you enter the cultivation world."

The system's voice sounded, making Yang Yu's eyes light up.

"Congratulations, Yang Yu. The Mystic Soul Core is very powerful and quite unique!"

Yulin looked at Yang Yu, smiling.

"What kind of Soul Core is this Mystic Soul Core?"

Yang Yu raised his head. In his memory, the definition of Soul Cores was vast, with more than a dozen types he knew of.

"The Soul Core from 'The Legend of the Dragon King.' You can enhance your strength by hunting prehistoric beasts or, if you are strong enough, by slaying innate beings like the 3,000 Demon Gods, to awaken soul rings."

Yulin explained.

"The Soul Core from 'The Legend of the Dragon King'? So if I cultivate to level 100, I can obtain ten soul rings and ten different powerful soul skills?"

Yang Yu's eyes lit up, very excited.

"Pretty much, it's not far from what you understand."

Yulin nodded and smiled, "Moreover, when you absorb soul rings, there are no restrictions. The first soul ring can be 100,000 years old, with no issues."
