Primordial Age: Settling Accounts at Jiejiao

Li Xuanxiao transmigrates into the primordial age of Chinese mythology. With only mediocre aptitude, he barely manages to become a forgettable, nameless outer disciple of Jiejiao. His sole ambition is to lie low until the Conferred Gods Catastrophe, earn a spot on the Conferred Gods List, and secure a stable bureaucratic position in the Heavenly Court. A century later, however, he discovers that an ancient bronze mirror that came with him across worlds can "settle" all his actions over the past hundred years, granting him serendipitous rewards based on the three highest-rated deeds from his timeline. His first settlement—the very act of crossing over—bestows upon him the First Ray of Pangu's Axe Light. His second—befriending the Three Sky Sisters (Sanxiao)—yields the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricot. His third—attending a Saint's sermon—rewards him with the Wind-Thunder Cushion, a primordial spirit treasure. As his fortunes turn, Li Xuanxiao looks forward to weathering the coming calamities. Yet when the Conferred Gods and the Journey to the West finally arrive, the mirror reveals its true power: settling the reversal of the Conferred Gods grants him the Chaos Bell, an ultimate primordial treasure, while settling his mastery over the Journey to the West awards him the Hongmeng Purple Qi—the very foundation for achieving sainthood.
