1 Eucharistic War Battleground
THE MOMENT HE opened his eyes, he knew he was dead.
Amidst the superficially brewed storm and sinister-looking place, he wondered if this was hell and whether coming here was the retribution he had brought upon himself after all the evil deeds he had done in his entire life; taking advantage of others, scheming on several people, betraying other people for the sake of achieving his goals, or even sacrificing his own relatives’ lives to shelter away certain truths that might crush his saint-like image.
Sensing that he was immobile, he just got along with the situation and closed his eyes once more. This circumstance was probably the sought-after answer for people seeking to know what would happen after death.
“Come now, my comrades! Let us put an end to evil and bring peace to our realm!” a shout reverberated, shocking Yang Lujia awake from his peaceful thoughts. “Die, you evil motherfuckers!”
“Fuck you, retards! You all sound like you’re bombing shits!” Another shout from another side was heard. “Come on, now! Let us prove to them that there can only be peace in the world if we kill all of these fake righteous whatever suckers who killed our kind!”
ROAR!
Deafening roars intruded into Yang Lujia’s ears, making all his hair stand on end. Even the rustling of the wind didn’t fail to terrify him—the cold atmosphere and the deathly feeling of the dark clouds looming above him.
WHISH!.
Thousands of creatures floated midair. Phoenixes and dragons alike wandered around the skies, roaring at one another. What puzzled him, even more, was that there were people on top of these creatures, like they were dragon riders, like he saw in movies from Earth.
“Fuck!” he cursed in his mind as the ground trembled and his body, like a ball, even rolled without his permission. Although he was clothed with a slightly thick but light and breathable blanket, his heart couldn’t stop pounding at all.
His instincts were screaming for survival.

Yang Lujia, despite the strong mental strength he had developed in his entire life, was shaken by the continuous bombardment of the computerized male voice inside his mind. His head exploded with plenty of questions and doubts. He only realized one thing at the moment.
Didn’t he die? Why did he feel like this was really real? Moreover, why were there other people here and some strange-looking creatures? What was he doing here? What was that voice? System? Was this all a joke?
As someone who had read several things on Earth, including Chinese cultivation stories, he perhaps knew what this meant. However, he dared not believe this was true. Perhaps this was only a kind of dream before one would be sent to the afterlife.
But to his surprise, this situation was actually real.
No matter what, he knew how stupid this kind of situation was. When he tried to pinch his face, he realized he couldn’t do so. Apart from being immobile, he then showed an enlightened look as he realized how dumb he was for not noticing how tiny his body was, lying down on the ground wrapped in a white cloth.
“What the hell is going on? When did I turn into a baby? Was this really real?” he spoke his thoughts aloud and found that his voice had undergone a large change. “I am really a baby?”
His words were incomprehensible. No one could understand him at all if he’d put himself in another person’s shoes. Even when he tried to sit upright, he found himself unable to do so. What was happening to him was really peculiar. It deepened his understanding of one of the mysteries of the world: the mystery of life after death.
He brushed all of these thoughts away, focusing his mind on calming down and assessing the situation at hand. Firstly, according to the “system,” he was in a place called the Eucharistic War Battleground, thus making him at least in the middle of the war. Secondly, he was certain that from the roars of these peculiar identities, he knew that the war commenced was between good and evil. Additionally, just the roars of the creatures could make anyone feel frightened to death. And lastly, he was a baby, alive but in this state, he couldn’t move his body.
In conclusion, who or what could he only rely on?
The System!
He recalled the voice’s words earlier. Due to his outstanding memory ability in his previous life on Earth, he could basically recall everything he could hear, see, or read.
“First!” he mumbled in his tiny voice. “Open the Gift Pack!”
[Congratulations! The Host receives (1) the Avatar Dragon Body, (2) the Abysmal Chaos Body, and (3) the Supreme Heavenly Scripture!]
[Avatar Dragon Body: Contains the bloodline of the strongest dragons of heaven and earth. With its tyrannical bloodline, the possessor will have strength beyond others and control the four elements: fire, water, gale, and earth.]
[Abysmal Chaos Body: The body that can freely control the five elements. It can survive in a chaotic environment, especially the void.]
[Supreme Heavenly Scripture: After reading and comprehending the entire scripture, one will be able to cultivate even while sleeping, drinking, eating, or doing anything leisurely, with no regard for cultivating diligently as other people do.]
He was overwhelmed by the series of notifications that popped in front of him. He felt that his body was burning hot and, at the same time, he felt so cold. It was like every vein in his body was constantly renewed while his mind was filled with words from scripture.
Having thought of what he had read from Earth, he found that this scripture actually contained several grammatical errors. However, he didn’t mind because the scripture really felt powerful!
[Assimilating the Avatar Dragon Body and the Abysmal Chaos Body! Prevents Heaven and Earth from interfering with the Eucharistic War by causing a Heavenly Vision!]
[Congratulations to Host on completely assimilating with the Avatar Dragon and Abysmal Chaos Bodies!]
[Congratulations, Host, on mastering the entire Supreme Heavenly Scripture!]
Sensing the changes in his body, he felt rejuvenated. Although his body was small, he had never felt so comfortable in his life before. In addition, he noticed that the world around him seemed to be filled with vigor and power.
As he tried to stand up, he found that he still couldn’t do so. Perhaps, he was still really a baby, an infant at this moment. However, he was worried sick that he would be killed in this place. His cautious mind rolled frantically as he thought of ways to escape from this place.
[Discovered location with abundant Qi of Heaven and Earth: Eternal Desolation! Would you like to sign in, Host?]
Hearing the system’s prompt once more, he didn’t hesitate anymore. Whatever was ahead of him, he couldn’t let this kind of opportunity pass!
“Sign in!” he vigorously said.
[Successful Sign-In! Host receives 100 Years’ Worth of Cultivation!]
As soon as his body exploded in power, a gentle hand shoved into his back and carried him up. An old man’s voice then sounded: “What a poor child. Your parents shouldn’t have left you in this war.”
