Jiang Yuan, an ordinary person from Earth, finds himself transported to another world, becoming a different Jiang Yuan in a realm filled with mystery and fantasy. In this world, individuals can cultivate their abilities to perform feats as miraculous as turning rivers and capturing the stars. However, Jiang Yuan's existence in this new world is far from stable. He inherits the identity and a series of troubles and challenges of his predecessor.
In the beginning, Jiang Yuan only wants to fully enjoy his new life, but fate doesn't afford him much respite. By a stroke of luck, he acquires a mysterious wooden carving, which seems to conceal the deep secrets of this world...
If I stand with humanity, then humanity shall flourish for hundreds of generations without end!
If I enter the path of demons, demonic flames will surge, and oceans of blood will flow!
As a sage, I shall help all beings, offering salvation to the world!
As an emperor, I shall be revered, with all directions submitting to me alone!
As an enlightened one, I shall follow in the footsteps of the sages before me, singing a war song of a prosperous yet melancholic era, shedding blood on the path to immortality!

Standing before a corner, Jiang Yuan caressed a gleaming Spirit Crystal embedded in the cave wall, marveling, "I'm starting to admire Wan Qianqiu and his team. In just a few days, they managed to carve out such a deep underground tunnel."
Ji Ziqing reasoned, "Given Wan Qianqiu's background, it wouldn't be surprising for him to possess treasures suited for excavating Spirit Crystal Mines. He must have something specifically for mining Spirit Crystals."
