Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!

"Without long-term considerations, there will be immediate worries."

Xu Shu was, for the time being, trapped in this prison. There seemed to be no monsters targeting this place at the moment, which afforded him some time to breathe, but it was far from secure.

He had to seize the opportunity and enhance himself in the fastest time possible.

At the very least, he needed to become strong enough to defeat the dogshark that was waiting for prey at the entrance.

"Legendary mode or journey mode?"

Compared to journey mode, which allowed only one-off consumptions like a normal draw in a gacha game, it was naturally the legendary mode, which could consume multiple chances at once, that sparked hope in Xu Shu.

"The rewards in journey mode seem to be only items. Both times I underwent the journey, I got items."

"I wonder if this taboo title 'Sit-ups' comes from journey mode or legendary mode. The reviews mentioned miracles, so it's probably legendary...

"That means journey mode yields items that can be used directly in reality, while legendary mode can grant titles, achievements, or perhaps other things!"

Thinking this, Xu Shu no longer hesitated.

First, he washed up, then cooked a packet of instant noodles with some added cured meat, and finally did a few sit-ups to finish up.

Feeling the continuous warmth within his body, his complexion was rosy, and he was in perfect condition.

Then, with a serious demeanor, he opened the "Tai Chu Scroll" and selected "Legendary Mode," then clicked "Start."

Instantly, Xu Shu felt as if he was in a hazy stupor, as if weightless, his spirit seeming to soar to an infinite height, surrounded by a tumultuous Chaotic Sea.

Chaos began with an explosive burst of infinite possibilities from a singularity. An endless stream of massive information emerged, as if experiencing repeated universal big bangs!

Just as Xu Shu was startled, his vision suddenly plunged into a turbid white chaos, followed by streams of information flooding into his mind.

"You have entered legendary mode, and you can choose to consume 1/2/3 Tai Chu Scroll attempts to obtain 1/2/3 pieces of 'destiny.' Please select the number of attempts to consume: ?"

"Three," Xu Shu replied without hesitation, following the plan he had prepared in advance.

Legendary mode, go all in or don't play at all!

"Generating random coordinates for you..."

"This legendary trip's coordinate: Ancient Martial Dynasty."

"Randomizing identity..."

"Please select one of the following four surnames to be your surname."

"1: the Xiao Family; 2: the Lin Family; 3: the Wang; 4: the Yang."

Xiao? Lin? Wang? Yang?

Xu Shu's pupils slightly contracted.

These were all distinguished surnames!

As everyone knows, if you encounter young people with these surnames in stories, and they are loners, often aloof, frequently muttering to themselves in a neurotic fashion, then you must befriend them.

Because they are destined for greatness and will thoroughly repay even the smallest act of kindness.

And if they are accompanied by a talking dog, monkey, snake, or some other seemingly weak creature?

Then do not hesitate, swear them in as your foster father, and when the day comes for you to ascend and gain enlightenment, among their close companions, there will be a place for you!

"Oh, right, and this awesome young man is none other than myself!"

"Which one should I choose? I feel like each one could become a true legend..."

After a slight struggle, Xu Shu finally chose 'Wang.'

When in doubt, choose C!

"You have chosen the name 'Wang.' Your name is now being randomized... Completed."

"Please choose one of the following four names to be your name, and you will have a fully realistic experience; choose carefully:"

"1: Wang Feng; 2: Wang Xuan; 3: Wang Teng; 4: Wang Beibei."

"Huh, so I can even play as a female character?"

Xu Shu stroked his chin, then, after a moment, decided to stick to his own rules.

When in doubt, go for C.

"Wang Teng."

"Your identity: Wang Teng, confirmed."

"Time-space regression loading... Loading complete."

"Generating your destiny..."

"You have consumed 3 Tai Chu Scroll attempts this time, allowing you to carry 3 random destinies, which will be bestowed upon your legendary identity"

```

[Please pick three random destinies within ten breaths; if you fail to pick in time, the Tai Chu Scroll will randomly complete them for you.]

Ah?

You can pick your own destiny?

Xu Shu immediately perked up and looked down at his feet.

He was puzzled, as there were no destinies fallen on the ground. How was he supposed to pick them up?

Just then, a swarm of thumb-sized fish of various colors mingled together, rushing towards him.

They emitted an intense glow, crashing into him like a fiery train!

Xu Shu was startled, but he quickly realized it was not painful; it felt as if he was standing in water, gently being washed over.

These fish bathed in light were swiftly heading downstream, never looking back.

The fish were of every hue, with white, green, and blue being the most abundant, interspersed with a small proportion of purple, roughly one-tenth, and the even rarer gold and red, less than one percent.

The rarest was black, of which he saw only one fleeting glimpse.

By the time Xu Shu shook off his daze, half the time had passed, but the fish seemed endless, pouring forth without stop.

"These are destinies! By catching them myself, it symbolizes that destiny is in my own hands..."

"The colors represent the quality of the destines, strictly adhering to the ranking system I once set for myself, from low to high: white, green, blue, purple, gold, red, black!"

Xu Shu suddenly understood. There were still five breaths left; he should have enough time.

He carefully watched the rapidly approaching school of fish; they were too fast, almost too quick for his eyes.

Fortunately, even so, through effort, Xu Shu still managed to catch three quickly with his eye.

One red, one gold, and one purple!

That is, he had obtained one Legendary destiny, an Epic, and a Flawless.

Not bad at all!

[Destiny acquisition complete]

[Your identity: Wang Teng]

[Your destinies: ——]

[Born Vajra (Legendary): At your birth, you will be accompanied by the Abnormal Phenomenon "Heavens Collapse, Earth Sinks, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top," and you will directly possess the Vajra Realm. Your body will shock the common folk, a martial arts prodigy seen once in ten thousand years; great strength also means a price, your robust Qi and blood will make you more susceptible to the temptation of beauty.]

[Curse Fetus Nine Phases (Epic): Before leaving your mother's womb, you will practice profound martial arts! You will form into a fetus faster than your peers, and you can directly cultivate the Nine Phases Diagram in the womb, unlocking different poses. When the Nine Phases become one, you will obtain a complete True Dragon Bone, and reaching the Martial Arts Immortal Realm will be just a matter of time.]

[Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom (Flawless): You are really very good at martial arts; when you choose the path of martial arts cultivation, your realm will advance by leaps and bounds, far surpassing others, and your comprehension will grow stronger with each realm.]

Looking at one destiny glowing red, another shining gold, and the third a noble purple.

Xu Shu's eyes lit up.

This start was very good; three destinies, all pointing in the same direction of cultivation, seemingly all conducive to the cultivation of martial arts.

At first, seeing that one had to reincarnate, starting from a fertilized egg, using words like "legendary," Xu Shu felt somewhat apprehensive.

It meant that for a long time he would not be in control, the fragility of young life implying vulnerability. If he were to die young, before making any significant impact, wouldn't today's three chances have been wasted?

Now, it seemed, all was well, as he picked his destinies quite well.

Especially the legendary destiny [Born Vajra] and [Curse Fetus Nine Phases] gave him the ability to protect himself from within the womb, freeing him from leaving it up to fate.

This was destined to be a legend that would shock the world! He was bound to achieve great things!

[Every choice you make in this legend will, like the flutter of a butterfly's wings, have far-reaching effects. Whether you become a legend or decay is in a moment's thought; please tread with caution.]

[The curtain on your legend lifts...]

Xu Shu suddenly felt himself falling into nothingness, as if plummeting rapidly, surrounded by countless small white points swimming forward like tadpoles.

The sound of flowing springs, the beating of a heart, steady breathing, and continuous soft thuds filled his ears.

"This..."

This couldn't be...

Xu Shu's shock in his vision gradually intensified; he seemed to have realized something and frantically swam forward, surpassing the other white points.

A giant round mass of flesh appeared ahead.

"F*ck, it's really..."

As the legendary process began, Xu Shu was aware of everything, knowing he was truly experiencing it himself.

Yet even though he was fully prepared, with countless plans in mind, he had not expected it to really start from a fertilized egg.

"You might as well not call it Tai Chu Scroll, you should rename it 'Legend: Starting from a Fertilized Egg'!"
