A cold, mechanical voice echoed in John's mind—
[You have cultivated for a million years. Your cultivation has reached the Godless Realm.][You have reached the peak of the Dao Game. Please exit the Game temporarily.]
…
[Waiting for launch…][Official launch in 12 hours.]
Before John could react—
Everything went dark.
John… was a transmigrator.
Fifteen years ago, he arrived on Blue Star.
And from that very night onward, something strange happened—
Every time he fell asleep,a game login interface appeared in his mind.
At first, he thought it was just a dream.
But as a master of lucid dreaming, he quickly realized—
This wasn't a normal dream.
It was… a fixed world.
A cultivation world (a game)
The Dao Game.
Unlike those legendary immersive virtual worlds, this game was… disappointingly simple.
No intense combat control. No immersive simulation.
Just—
Idle cultivation.
Automatic progression.
Passive growth.
A boring game.
At least… that's what it seemed.
Time flowed differently inside the game (dream).
Fifteen years in reality—
One million years inside the game.
Inside that endless span of time…
John cultivated.
Died.
Resurrected.
Repeated.
As a "dreamer", he had no limit.
No true death.
While countless Fellow Daoists rose and fell like fleeting sparks—
But John remained.
He outlived them all.
Step by step, realm by realm—
Until finally… he reached
Godless Realm.
He stood alone at the peak.
The only Supreme Emperor.
No one below him?
No one above him.
There are Dozens of cultivation realms that people need to pass to finally reach the stage John has reached
but,
Not a single cultivator remained who could match him.
The gap between him and the rest of existence…
Was no longer a gap.
It was an abyss.
Over a million years—
He collected everything.
Chaos Spiritual Roots.
Innate Supreme Treasures.
Divine Rank Artifacts.
Heaven-defying techniques.
Endless pills.
Endless weapons.
Even the most insignificant grass from ancient times—
Was now a priceless treasure.
And John?
He collected it all.
Like a tireless, obsessive—
hoarder.
Billions of storage bags remain in his inventory.
Each is filled to the limit.
Each overflowing with treasures that could shake the heavens.
Even his Dao Companions—
Peerless beauties capable of stunning eras—
Were… technically part of his collection.
(Though the game had no dual cultivation function, much to his regret…)
Eventually—
There was nothing left to grind.
Nothing left to collect.
Nothing left to achieve.
He had reached the supposed end.
And now—
The game was about to launch.
John sighed.
For 15 years, this world had belonged to him alone.
A private place.
His secret playground.
And now?
It would be shared.
"…Tch."
A little unhappy.
A little excited.
After all—
It might be fun to have others join.
To guide them.
To… show them around.
Definitely not to show off.
He shook his head and got ready for work.
This "game"—
Wouldn't change reality anyway.
Right?
The next moment—
A voice rang across the entire planet.
Cold. Absolute. Unavoidable.
[System Initialised: The Great Migration has begun.]
[Target World: The Primordial Realm (Dao World).]
[Quest: Slay the Tyrant!]
John froze.
[Description: People of Blue Star, the Sage Emperor has achieved Supreme Authority.]
[His reign is tyrannical and must be ended.]
[All citizens of Blue Star are drafted as "Heroes" to liberate the world.]
Silence.
John slowly looked at the familiar interface in his mind.
His heart skipped a beat.
"…Wait."
A terrifying realisation dawned.
"Aren't I… the Sage Emperor?"
**************************************************************
Before John could process any further,
He saw that the people surrounding him started to disappear one by one
He saw his own body turning into dust
System voice rang again
Initiation of the 88th Universe confirmed. Introduction sequence commencing
Welcome to the introduction. Preparing…
As John opened his eyes, he was greeted by the voice once again welcoming him to an… introduction.
Several seconds passed, and despite his eyes being open, he saw only complete darkness. His body felt numb all over, and the only thing he could feel was a creeping headache. He tried opening his mouth to no avail, as he started panicking internally. Is he going to be killed? As his thoughts started to spiral, the voice suddenly sounded out again.
Preparations complete. Starting introduction
Light filled his eyes as he was temporarily blinded by what seemed like a huge spotlight shining in his face. As his eyes slowly adjusted, so did the feeling to his limbs return. He found himself looking down at his legs, noticing himself sitting in a chair. As he slowly looked up, he found someone sitting across from him with a table placed in between.
The room itself reminded John of an interrogation room with the two chairs, a table in a small closed-in space, bar the two-way window. The other difference was how perfectly clean everything was. The walls and floor were white, the table white, the chairs white, and despite there being no apparent light source, the whole room was somehow still well-lit.
"Hello?" John cautiously asked at the… person across from him. He/she looked human at a glance but had no discernible features. A bald head, completely white eyes with no pupils, and a chest that looked far too flat and undetailed to be natural. Not a single spec of hair could be seen on the body, and despite him being unable to see due to the table, he had a creeping suspicion this… thing didn't have anything down there either. As his internal assessment was finishing up, the "human" opened its mouth.
"Greetings, human. I oversee your introduction. In this introduction, I shall explain to you the circumstances of your new reality," the thing said with a voice that sounded synthesised by mashing a bunch of both male and female voices together. As he was about to open his mouth to respond, it started talking again.
"First of all, allow me to welcome you to this new chapter of your life. Your universe has finally passed the minimum threshold required to enter the multiverse and has thus been initiated. Now, do you have any questions before we move on to the subjects pertaining to the tutorial?" The thing finally finished up.
John's mind was in turmoil.
sevral question hit his mind at once?
"Who, no, what are you?" he blurted out, stumbling over his words.
"I am the entity in charge of greeting you and introduce you to the new world specifically Dao World" It answered promptly, making no indications of elaborating further.
"What new world?" John pretended to be confused.
"The world named by the first enlightened races as 'The Dao World," it explained.

And then started a barrage of questions and answers between John and alien like creature
