Ancient Being Predecessor of the Primordial Era

James Anderson is thrown into an isolated training realm with no tutorial and no guidance. For eons he remains alone, kept from insanity only by system notifications — until even those stop. He jumps, and a tear in reality deposits him into a cultivation world ruled by demons and evil cultivators. Dragged into the petty squabbles of the Hu family's last survivors, James — now known as Yin Hu — navigates this dangerous world while genuinely believing he isn't that strong.

James is unable to take advantage of his Ancient Predecessor persona. Even after escaping the Silver Mountain Gang, the number of complications in his life drops only slightly. Deep in the Bleak Forests with the Hu sisters, a mysterious couple follows them. James must navigate new system functions, prevent Hu Shui and Hu Jun from ascending too fast and draining the world of Qi, and fend off bounty hunters and kidnappers — all while ancient forces conspire and the Second Calamity's arrival looms.

All James wants is a comfortable retirement, but the world conspires against him. Out of the bleak forest, he and his newly formed Hu Clan charge headlong into Merchant Empires, powerful Beggars with suspiciously good intelligence, new Calamities, and more. His girls are developing unsettling murder-hobo tendencies, the world's inhabitants are slowly figuring out who Yin Hu really is, and James must teach his granddaughters to become levelheaded individuals — all while searching for his dream lady to pamper him.
