When Zhang Yan transmigrated to a new world, he expected an incredible place and an opportunity to become a powerful being.

However, his luck didn't turn out as he had hoped.

He arrived in a prehistoric world where humans didn't exist, a HongHuang world of ancient cultivation where beings like Nuwa, Fuxi, and other mythological characters had not yet appeared.

Dressed in modern clothes and flip-flops, he was at the mercy of primordial cultivators and chaotic-born beasts.

While fate had blessed him with a system like most transmigrators, it was a useless system.

It had only trained him for a few years in things like playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and other useless skills in this era. After that, it disappeared.

What Zhang Yan didn't know was how incredible his abilities were.

What was a simple cup of tea to him was an elixir that allowed others to begin cultivation.

The axe he casually used for chopping wood was a primordial weapon with its own consciousness.

Every object he had learned to create with the system was invaluable in the eyes of others.

Primordial beasts, to his eyes, were just ordinary wild animals.

Unaware of his own power, Zhang Yan lives surrounded by powerful characters, all trying to gain his favor.

The term (honghuang): refers to a primordial, chaotic era in Chinese cosmogony, similar to the concept of "pre-creation" in many world mythologies.

The setting often features a universe in its nascent stage, filled with chaotic energy, evolving landscapes, and emergent life forms.

Characters often seek to cultivate their strength, aiming to achieve godhood or ascend to higher realms. This journey of cultivation and ascension is a central theme, and it often involves overcoming insurmountable challenges and fierce competitors.

The narrative might feature well-known figures from Chinese mythology, such as Pangu, Nuwa, and Fuxi, alongside new deities created by the author. These deities might have domains of influence, hierarchies, and complex relationships with each other.

Characters often harness these forces or seek understanding of these principles to enhance their powers.

As characters ascend and powers collide, readers can expect epic battles that can shape the destiny of realms, galaxies, or even the entire universe.

Beyond action and adventure, these stories often delve into philosophical discussions on the nature of existence, the balance between good and evil, and the pursuit of eternal life.
