1: Chapter 1: Transmigrating into Battle Through the Heavens, Arriving on Medusa's Island

A towering sun stood high in the firmament, illuminating a golden desert. The scorching climate was unbearable for ordinary people, as if they were placed inside a furnace, while the sky was filled with rolling yellow sand, whipping up wave after wave of sandstorms.

Deep in the desert, a towering and magnificent city stood on the horizon, like an ancient behemoth, opening its bloody maw, continuously devouring the snake-people coming and going, along with the supplies they carried.

On the city walls, squads of snake-people guards, dressed in cool and refined equipment, patrolled constantly. Their eyes were cold and sharp, sweeping over the snake-people entering and leaving the temple city like keen blades; no disguise could escape their gaze.

Yet deep within the central hall of the temple city, it was a completely different scene, starkly contrasting with the outside world.

What came into view was a clear lake with shimmering ripples, the temperature much cooler than the outside. In the center of the lake was a small island, yet there was no bridge or path leading to it.

The island was not large, covered everywhere with lush bamboo, trees, and various flowers, looking vibrant and quite beautiful.

In the center of the island was a pool, surrounded by nine embedded fourth-Rank ice-attribute Demonic Beast cores, forming an artificial cold pool, with cold air permeating and white mist swirling.

Vaguely, one could see a graceful and voluptuous figure in the mist, soaking in the cold pool, enjoying the chill of the water.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a figure fell from the sky, crashing into the flowerbed beside the cold pool, startling the person in the pool into rising abruptly, splashing water everywhere.

"Who!" A roar filled with majesty and cold aloofness rang out. As the water settled, the graceful and voluptuous body revealed her true appearance.

It was an exquisitely beautiful snake-woman, mature and alluring to the extreme—no, it was a Queen!

Three thousand strands of dark hair, dampened by a few water droplets, hung down, emitting a pleasant, faint fragrance. Her delicate, oval-shaped face was fair and tender, without a single flaw. Her features were breathtakingly beautiful, her dark brows slightly furrowed, her phoenix eyes revealing traces of anger, and her jade-like nose exhaled wisps of cold air; it was clear she was very dissatisfied with the person who had suddenly disturbed her rest.

Medusa slowly swam out of the cold pool, revealing her hot, plump, and alluringly graceful mature body. Her heavy, bountiful, and rounded assets were wrapped in red breast armor, standing tall and proud. Her waist was slender and slim, her skin as white as jade, and her purple snake tail swayed along with her peach-like rounded buttocks, radiating a wild and exotic charm that was extremely seductive.

When she saw the intruder, a trace of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

In the flowerbed lay a naked, handsome young man who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, his eyes tightly closed, in a state of coma.

Although she didn't know how the other party had broken through the Restriction she had set up to enter the island, Medusa was very unhappy right now, and she didn't care about anything else.

She lightly raised her jade hand, and Dou Qi condensed. A bright red handprint flew out, incomparably scorching, causing the air to distort as it violently struck toward the man, intending to smash him into meat paste and turn him into fertilizer for the flowers.

Yet, just as the Dou Qi handprint was about to land on the man, a dazzling and blinding white light surged forth, forming a protective barrier that shielded the man and blocked the Dou Qi handprint.

"What?!" Medusa was quite surprised to see this scene.

Meanwhile, in the man's mind, a cold, mechanical voice rang out: [Ding~ Detected that the host is unconscious, and an external enemy is attacking the host. Passive ten-fold counterattack activated. Remaining counterattack charges: 2.]

A bright red handprint, identical to the previous one, condensed, but its power was ten times greater than what Medusa had unleashed. Before she could react, the bright red handprint pushed forward!

It was so fast that even Medusa, a Peak Dou Huang, could not react in time. The palm struck her chest fiercely, instantly sending her flying. Her voluptuous body traced a perfect parabola in the air before crashing into the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Pfft!!" As the dust settled, Medusa lay on the ground in a sorry state, spitting out blood. Her phoenix eyes were filled with horror, and her face had turned deathly pale. She felt as if her internal organs had all shifted. A familiar yet uncontrollable Dou Qi was rampaging through her body, causing her immense pain throughout, as if she were falling apart.

Without time to think, Medusa struggled to get up, took out a fifth-Rank healing Medicinal Pill from her storage ring, swallowed it quickly, closed her beautiful eyes, and began to refine the medicinal power while suppressing the rampaging Dou Qi in her body, multitasking.

At this moment, the previously unconscious man heard the System's prompt in his mind and reacted, his eyelids twitching as he gradually woke up.

"Ugh..." Gu Shengge opened his eyes, looking at the strange and unfamiliar ceiling, a flash of confusion crossing his face.

He struggled to lift his body from the ground and looked around, his eyes gradually changing from confusion to astonishment, and then to horror.

Where is this? Gu Shengge remembered, hadn't he been hacked to death by his girlfriends? Could this be the underworld? But it didn't look like it.

[Ding~ Detected that the host has awakened. Based on the host's situation, a Newbie Gift Pack has been issued. Please check it.]

Gu Shengge: "What?"

The next second, information about the System was transmitted into Gu Shengge's brain.

The System didn't have a complicated name; it was simply called "System." By some Opportunity, it had selected Gu Shengge, who had been hacked to death by his girlfriends, to help him reshape his body and randomly transmigrate to other worlds.

Because the System had suffered heavy damage in the past, most of its functions were closed, leaving only four functions still in operation. They were [Lucky Draw], [mall], [Taking Wives and Concubines], and [Space-Time Transmigration].

[Lucky Draw]: Through the lucky draw, one can obtain all things in the heavens. It is divided into seven Ranks, from low to high: Yellow, Xuan, Earth, Heaven, God, Saint, and Chaos. The System automatically rewards one Yellow-Rank draw every month. Ten can be combined into a higher-Rank draw, limited to Heaven-Grade and below, and can be exchanged using Origin.

[mall]: Through the mall, one can use Origin to purchase everything in the world where the host is located.

[Taking Wives and Concubines]: Once the host marries an opposite-sex creature or takes one as a concubine, the System will give the host rewards based on the other party's conditions and will also give the other party a bride price. Wives and concubines are also divided into Ranks: Primary Wife, Equal Wife, Noble Concubine, Good Concubine, and Poor Concubine. Different Ranks receive different bride prices.

[Space-Time Transmigration]: Consuming varying amounts of Origin, the System will take the host to randomly/specifically transmigrate to different worlds.

After accepting the System's information, Gu Shengge knew that he had transmigrated to the Dou Po World, and most importantly, his landing spot was Medusa's island.

Medusa had also been seriously injured due to the System's passive ten-fold counterattack and was healing not far away.

"System, can we make a deal? Can you give me a set of clothes to wear first?" Looking at his own naked, reshaped body, Gu Shengge immediately communicated with the System. Setting everything else aside, he needed clothes first.

[Ding~ The Newbie Gift Pack contains what the host wants.]

Hearing this, Gu Shengge moved his mind and took the Newbie Gift Pack out from the System space, opening it.

Besides a set of clothes, the Newbie Gift Pack also contained 10,000 points of Origin, a Medicinal Pill the size of a dragon's eye, as flawless as white jade, with nine pill patterns on it and emitting a rosy glow. There was also a jade-green light orb.

Gu Shengge quickly put on the clothes, his gaze turning to the Medicinal Pill and the jade-green light orb, and information about them appeared in his mind.

[Name: perfect sect-breaking pill] [Introduction: A perfect sect-breaking pill produced by the System, capable of helping a Dou Huang achieve a 100% Breakthrough to Dou Zong without any side effects.]

— — [Name: Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils] [Introduction: A pupil-type talent capable of forcibly forming a one-way connection with snake-type Demonic Beasts, thereby controlling them. It can also store them in the space created by the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to slowly absorb their cultivation. However, the absorption speed depends on one's own strength, and the size of the space also changes with one's strength.]

After reading the introductions of the two items, Gu Shengge finally understood why the System said the Newbie Gift Pack was issued based on his current environment.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were meant to deal with Medusa! The System was so considerate!
