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!

Jiang Yuan was stunned to see Lu Kun being ruthlessly blasted dozens of meters into the air. After all, Lu Kun was a Leakless Realm initial phase cultivator. With a single blow, he could collapse a small mountain, yet the golden figure had managed to make him suffer. It went without saying that its strength was no weaker than Lu Kun's.

He heard Lu Kun shout in alarm, "Young Master, be careful! That's a Golden-haired Demon Monkey, and an equivalent to a Leakless Realm initial phase demon monkey at that. Even I am not its match. I'll hold it back, so you quickly escape."

However, the Golden-haired Demon Monkey was cunning. After forcing Lu Kun back, it pounced towards Jiang Yuan instead, clearly identifying him as a weaker target.
