Primordial Cultivation: Starting with a Wife and Children

Li Dalang wins a thirty-million-yuan lottery jackpot—but before he can enjoy his fortune, he is reborn into a savage primordial wilderness as a prematurely aged, downtrodden middle-aged man who barely scraps by on two meals in three days. Just as despair sets in, fortune strikes again: a system lands in his mind. Having completed the initial awakening quest, he faces a new set of milestones. His weekly task, "First Buck," challenges him to earn twenty taels of silver, with a reward of one extra year of lifespan. His monthly task, "A True Craftsman," pushes him to secure an official occupational identity—whether as a low-grade artificer, spiritual plant cultivator, puppet master, or the like—unlocking the Family module and a special refining jade slip upon completion. Yet the true cornerstone is the long-term task, "Branching Out": a single tree cannot make a forest, and in this law-of-the-jungle world, only a powerful clan offers dignity and safety. For every child born, the system grants a single innate divine ability. With the system as his guide, Li Dalang takes wives, begets children, establishes his household, and rises step by step to dominate the untamed wilds.
