Chapter 1: Eating Makes Me Stronger?

Shanhai Dalu, the Beihuang Shiwan Dashan.

Peaks and ridges overlap, stretching for ten thousand miles.

Here, Demon Qi permeates, blotting out the sky and sun, interspersed with wisps of spiritual energy.

In the midst of the most majestic mountain stands a towering tree.

On a high branch of the big tree, there is a hidden hole.

Inside the hole, four white bird eggs are scattered.

A rustling sound arises, followed by the sound of eggshells cracking, and a crack appears on one of the eggs.

A small, pink, fleshy head pokes out from inside the eggshell.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp."

"What the hell? Did I turn into... a bird?"

Zhang Yi takes a deep breath and lowers his head to look at himself.

Through a thin membrane, he can vaguely see his pink, tender skin, through which his internal organs are almost visible.

There are also sharp claws and a beak, as well as two undeveloped wings on his sides.

Just a moment ago, Zhang Yi was still sleeping, and upon waking up, he discovered he had appeared in a sealed space.

After struggling with all his might, he broke through the eggshell and crawled out, only to realize he had become a newly hatched bird.

Other people transmigrate and become princes, nobles, immortals, or emperors, but as for him, after transmigrating, he isn't even human!

"If I'm not human, then so be it. I had enough of being human in my last life."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi actually feels a little excited.

In his previous life, he was a corporate slave rushing around every day just to survive; during the day he had to watch his boss's expression at the company, and after work, he had to deliver food and watch the customers' expressions.

Whenever he finally had some time to sleep, his boss's phone calls would always come at that exact moment to arrange work.

But now, he is a bird; he can do whatever he wants! Who cares about anyone's expression!

Zhang Yi turns his head to look around and discovers that there is another egg behind him, completely motionless.

It seems there are two in this nest; he accidentally came out early and unintentionally secured the position of the big brother.

He wants to go out and take a look, but because he has just broken his shell, he lacks the physical strength to support himself in leaving this small bird hole.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

Sitting idly in place, staring at the motionless bird egg in front of him, a wave of intense hunger soon strikes.

Who would have thought that even after transmigrating into a bird, he would still have his own troubles!

But... now, he can eat whenever he wants to eat!

There is no more bullshit life pushing him, and no extinction-level boss monitoring him at every opportunity!

Starting today, he will completely break free from time control and eat until the sky goes dark!

【Ding! Detected host's intense desire to eat】

【Jingshi Zengzhang Xitong has been successfully activated】

【Host: Zhang Yi】

【Race: Wangri Bird】

【Grade: Not yet graded (must break through 1000 points of spiritual energy to become a First-Grade Divine Beast)】

【Blood Qi: 12】

【Physique: 12】

【Divine Soul: 62】

【Skills: None】

【Refining Points: 0/0】

Hearing the system's prompt, Zhang Yi's eyes light up.

Is this his golden finger? What kind of system? Where is the newbie gift pack?

Just as Zhang Yi is thinking this, the system's voice sounds again.

【Ding! This system has no newbie gift pack】

【Host has activated the Jingshi Zengzhang Xitong; as long as you eat successfully, you can gain spiritual energy growth】

【Spiritual energy is the foundation of a divine beast's cultivation and a necessity for cultivation; this system has no upper limit for spiritual energy improvement】

【The system will issue tasks at irregular intervals; please pay attention and find time to complete them】

【System tasks reward skills, spiritual medicine, and Refining Points; Refining Points can be used to improve skills, Divine Soul, and physique】

Prompts appear one after another in front of Zhang Yi; he dares not be careless and reads them all, one by one.

Just as he intends to relax, the final prompt appears.

【Shiwan Dashan Divine Beast Ranks: Divine Beast, Great Divine Beast, Divine General, Divine Marshal, Divine King, Divine Emperor, Divine Venerable; each level is divided into nine grades】

"Hiss... eating can increase spiritual energy? Isn't this just the eating, drinking, and lying flat that I dreamed of in my last life!"

Listening to the system's broadcast, Zhang Yi thinks in a daze.

You know, as a bird with a powerful digestive system that eats and excretes at any time, eating is the simplest operation.

Thinking this, Zhang Yi walks to the side, pulls up a blade of grass, and puts it in his mouth to chew.

To be honest, whether for a human or a bird, the taste of this thing is not very good.

But for the sake of the experiment, Zhang Yi can only force himself to swallow it for now.

At that very moment, the system indeed begins to prompt frantically.

【Spiritual energy +777】

【Spiritual energy +333】

If things go on like this, and the first stage only requires 1000 points of Qi to upgrade, wouldn't he reach the peak of Great Completion and look down upon the world just by having a big meal?

Eat! I might not be good at anything else, but when it comes to eating, who has this old man ever feared!

Zhang Yi wiggled his way back into the broken eggshell, intending to see if there was any leftover egg fluid or the like inside.

"This, what is this thing? I didn't die? Have I fallen under an illusion?"

"Heh, I knew it, how could this Nudi die so easily!"

A sharp, thin voice reached Zhang Yi's ears.

He lifted his head in a daze, vaguely seeing a dark shadow outside, while the voice sounded again.

"I, the dignified Xianchao Nudi, how could I tolerate such bullying from you all? Once I cultivate and return, I will settle the score with each and every one of you!"

Zhang Yi's mind was in a state of chaos; what Xianchao Nudi?

He couldn't help but poke his head out to look at that figure.

Seeing a figure similar to his own outside the eggshell, Zhang Yi finally realized that it seemed the remaining eggs had also begun to hatch.

He couldn't help but feel a bit excited and was about to say hello when the voice sounded again.

"Damn it! What an ugly thing, you scared this Nudi!"

"This, what is this? So ugly and with such poor foundations, this kind of thing is to be my older brother?"

"Forget it, forget it, the current situation is unfavorable for me. When I return to the Xianchao, I will bestow a bit of spiritual root upon him."

Zhang Yi:???

He couldn't help but look up at the other party, only to find her face full of disgust.

"The little thing is truly too ugly. Fortunately, this Nudi has a good appearance now; this Nudi is going to start cultivating."

"The supreme secret of the Xianchao, the Immortal King Art, I still remember it. Hahaha, Heaven helps me! This Nudi is coming back!"

Zhang Yi stretched; he had only taken one bite, yet he felt as if all the meridians in his body had been reshaped, and he felt completely comfortable.

He stared at the Nudi outside, who was still looking smug and chattering away, and shook his head.

A dignified Nudi, who would have thought she was actually a scheming woman?

Zhang Yi smiled, then heard a voice ring out in his mind once again.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for leveling up!】

Immediately, a panel slowly unfolded before him.

【Host: Zhang Yi】

【Race: Wangri Bird】

【Grade: Tier 1 (Requires breakthrough points in Qi to become a Tier 2 divine beast)】

【Blood Qi: 1168】

【Physique: 12】

【Divine Soul: 62】

【Divine Skill: None】

【Refining Points: 1/1】

Leveled up? As expected, every bite brings a surprise!

He couldn't be bothered to care about the Nudi in front of him now; sleeping and leveling up were his main tasks.

But just as Zhang Yi had closed his eyes, a voice rang out in his mind once again.
