Liyang. The Ye Family. In the great hall, a middle-aged man sat in the seat of honor, emanating an aura of authority without anger, holding a teacup and staring straight ahead. Beside him sat an elegant and intellectual-looking lady in flowing white robes, her eyes cold, with a hint of sword intent flickering about her. Below them stood a young genius, with sword-like eyebrows and star-bright eyes, as straight as a pine tree, his gaze full of youthful arrogance.

Ye Qiu withdrew his gaze, confusion in his eyes. Suddenly, a flood of memories rushed in, and two words escaped his lips. "Holy shit!" Had he transmigrated? The scene in his mind froze on a rainy night on an overpass, a Maybach speeding by, the gloomy sky flashing with lightning and rumbling with thunder. It was as if the gods were praying. Suddenly... the speeding Maybach skidded, crashing into an electric bike delivering takeout in the storm. The unfortunate delivery rider flew dozens of meters at a speed of 180 meters per second. The out-of-control Maybach plunged off the overpass. Both died instantly! Clearly... Ye Qiu was that delivery rider.

"This counts as transmigration?" This method of transmigration was truly unexpected. But... thinking carefully, it didn't seem impossible. "Well, well, well... After reading so many indulgent novels for years, is it finally my turn to be the protagonist?" Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, and the strange ships occasionally flying in the sky outside, Ye Qiu was certain he had truly transmigrated. And it seemed he had arrived in a particularly impressive world, where ships flew in the sky?

"Damn, who would still ride an electric bike to deliver takeout here? I'll just use a flying ship to deliver..." As an avid web novel reader, Ye Qiu understood transmigration all too well. In previous novels, transmigrators lived lives of pure indulgence. Whether starting with an Ancient Sacred Physique, or bringing along an invincible cheat ability, or having an incredible background. They would constantly show off, slap faces, be surrounded by beauties, living lives of utmost pleasure. He didn't seem to hate the idiot who had sent him flying anymore. After all, in his previous life, he had been nothing but a beast of burden, working several jobs at once, not earning money but falling deeper into debt. Now that he had transmigrated, surely it couldn't be worse than before?

"Let's put it this way, I'm not asking for an Ancient Sacred Physique at the start, or some invincible background. Just give me a simple system, that's all I ask." "If not that, even the identity of a profligate young master with enough wealth to rival a nation would do. I'm not picky."

Rubbing his hands like a fly, in the oppressive silence of the great hall, Ye Qiu carefully digested the memories of this body. As the memories in his mind were gradually absorbed, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

"Huh?" "Wait a minute..." Frowning slightly, a flash of surprise crossed his mind, seemingly influenced by the emotions of the original owner. Ye Qiu raised his head to look at the middle-aged man sitting above. His father, one of the Seven Kings of the Northern Sea Barbarian Lands, of the Ancient Clan of the Imperial State, the current clan leader of the Ye family, Ye Jin. He was one of the strongest in the world, feared by all and dreaded by the alien beings on the other shore. Once, he had single-handedly stopped the invasion of a million-strong army from another realm, achieving godhood in a single battle. He was deeply loved by the people and hailed as a great hero, a great champion, a great pioneer of the human race. He was a figure of worldwide attention.

However... in Ye Qiu's memories, he wasn't so great. In his memories, he had been abandoned on the streets of Liyang at the age of three, adopted by a kind farming family. He had grown up lonely and destitute, often hungry and cold, suffering bitterly. When he was eighteen, the old couple who had adopted him passed away. On their deathbed, they gave all their savings to Ye Qiu, telling him to go to the Butian Holy Land to seek the path of immortality. They told him that in this world, there was only one way to change the fate of a person born at the bottom: cultivation!

Carrying their hopes, Ye Qiu set out on the path to seek immortality at the Butian Holy Land, and ultimately did not disappoint them. With his extremely high talent, he successfully passed the entrance examination and formally entered the path of cultivation. However, due to his poor background, he was often ostracized and bullied in the Holy Land, not living a good life. Many times, to avoid being bullied by those people, one had to either join them in bullying the weaker, or... become even more of a bastard than they were. Gradually, Ye Qiu's mentality changed in this muddled state.

Just when he thought his life would continue like this... suddenly one day, a young couple approached him and told him... "Child, we are your parents!" When he heard this news, Ye Qiu was overjoyed. He wasn't a lonely orphan, he had parents too. They told Ye Qiu that due to the border wars years ago, they had to leave him and go to the Northern Sea to resist the alien beings. And his father was a powerful figure in the Northern Sea with many enemies watching him. If Ye Qiu's identity was exposed, those enemies would definitely make secret moves. They were busy resisting the alien races at the time and couldn't take care of him, so they had no choice... but to leave Ye Qiu in Liyang, fostered by that old couple, secretly protecting him. Unexpectedly, twenty years passed, and they never returned. Ye Qiu didn't even know he had such parents.

After hearing their explanation, Ye Qiu said he understood, after all, they had no better choice in that situation. But when he saw this arrogant, prideful younger brother beside him, Ye Qiu felt that the suffering he had endured for more than twenty years seemed like a joke.

"Hehe... I see, I see." "No wonder I transmigrated into this unfortunate guy, this kid is truly pitiful..."

The so-called protection was just silently abandoning him in the unfamiliar Liyang city? Twenty years of suffering, never coming to see him once, not even asking about him once? Yet by their side, they brought their second son, spending enormous wealth and resources to make him the most eye-catching genius of the Northern Sea?

He suddenly understood the original owner's feelings a bit. If he had never had expectations, perhaps he wouldn't have been so heartbroken and dejected. Finally depressed and melancholic, drinking himself to death...

He didn't feel the care from parents or the respect from a brother that he had imagined. All he felt were cold gazes and disdain.

Bang... Just as Ye Qiu was still digesting the memories in his mind, Ye Jin suddenly smashed the cup in his hand to the ground. This sudden loud noise startled everyone present. The few servants nearby were so frightened they trembled all over.

"Outrageous! Kneel down..." The first words were a shout, a terrifying aura spreading out, blowing Ye Qiu's hair slightly askew as he slowly regained his senses.

"My Ye family has guarded the border for generations, resisting alien races, passing down our legacy for ages. Every one of us has been a world-renowned great hero, a great champion!" "Look at yourself now, full of vulgar manners, idling about all day, causing trouble, and even learning to frequent those indecent places like brothels with those unsavory characters?" "How did I end up with such a worthless son? You've utterly disgraced our Ye family."

Hearing these words, Ye Qiu frowned, suppressing the anger in his heart. For some reason, upon hearing these words, Ye Qiu felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart. Just as he was about to retort, a strange voice sounded in his ear.

[Ding...] [System activating.] [Activation successful! Entering life choice interface, please wait.]

"System?" Forcibly suppressing the anger about to erupt, a glint flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes. "Damn, you finally came! Any later, and I might not have been able to resist going up there to fight him one-on-one."

Upon hearing the sound of the system activating, Ye Qiu finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

[Beginning life choice.] [Choice One: Apologize to father, explain your circumstances, gain father's understanding. Promise to turn over a new leaf and become a new person! Unlock: The life of the child other parents brag about. Gain: Supreme Sacred Physique.]

"Huh?" Ye Qiu was stunned.

[Choice Two: Swallow your anger, silently endure everything, don't fight back when hit, don't talk back when scolded. Unlock: Turtle man's life. You become the most tolerant coward in this world. Gain: Vajra Indestructible Body.]

"Why are you insulting me?" Hearing this second choice, Ye Qiu's mouth twitched. You're the fucking coward. In my previous life, I was cursed by customers every day, constantly receiving bad reviews and malicious comments. For those few silver coins, I endured again and again. I finally got a chance to start over, and you want me to endure for another lifetime? A man can only tolerate so much! Directly crossed out.

[Choice Three: A great man living between heaven and earth, how can he remain depressed under others for long? Immediately tear off the facade, sever ties with parents. Unlock Ultimate Demon God life, gain: Bloodthirsty Demon God Talent.]

[After choosing, you can receive a life choice gift package. Please choose carefully!]

Looking at these three life choices above, Ye Qiu fell into a moment of hesitation. "Ultimate Demon God life? What's that?" Currently, the only thing he didn't understand was this third choice. As for the first two, he roughly understood them.

The first choice was nothing more than becoming the pride of his parents, gaining the Supreme Sacred Physique bonus, able to master anything easily, with cultivation speed increasing a thousand miles in a day. However, this had a downside, which was... having to listen to his parents, being their obedient baby, a good child.

The second choice was... well, better left unmentioned.

But this third one... After pondering for a moment, Ye Qiu immediately made his choice.

"Damn it all, if you don't make steamed buns you still need to vent, whoever wants to endure this anger can endure it. Anyway, I haven't enjoyed any benefits from your Ye family for twenty years, I have a clear conscience." "I choose three!"

[Ding...] [Congratulations! Choice successful, unlocking Ultimate Demon King life, gaining Bloodthirsty Demon God Talent.] [Received one life choice gift package, please check.]

"Gift package? This should be my startup fund, right?" Suddenly feeling a bit excited, Ye Qiu was about to check the gift package. Ye Jin's angry voice came again, interrupting his train of thought.

"Outrageous! Still not repenting? You are punished to face the wall in the ancestral hall for a month. You are not allowed to come out until you've properly reflected on your actions."
