Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

In 2046, the immersive holographic online game *Myth* launched its open beta. This game, incorporating countless allusions from classics like *Investiture of the Gods*, *The Legend of the White Snake*, *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*, and *Classic of Mountains and Seas*, was touted as a second world for humanity. Top-tier power-level player Lin Xuan used hacking techniques to unlock the only hidden character. However, a data overflow occurred during login, and without an exit button, he was transformed into… a giant black-scaled python. At this time, there were still three hundred years until Bai Suzhen flooded Jinshan Temple, and five hundred years until Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in Heaven! Fortunately, Lin Xuan possessed the *Encyclopedia of Mythology*, familiar with the trigger mechanisms and hidden bugs of all the allusions. There were allusions like: The Farmer and the Snake, Adding Feet to a Snake, Mistaking a Snake for a Bow, and Greed for an Elephant… There were legends like: Xu Xian Borrowing an Umbrella, Nezha Making Havoc in the Sea, and the Flooding of Chen Tang Pass… In "The Farmer and the Snake," he used the body temperature regeneration mechanism to kill the snake catcher farmer who tried to extract his gall! In "Adding Feet to a Snake," he deliberately drew four claws on himself, triggering the evolution bug of becoming a dragon! He stirred up trouble on the Qiantang River, hijacked Xu Xian's marriage, married Bai Suzhen to live off her, and stole Fahai's Great Heavenly Dragon! Years later, Lin Xuan soared above the nine heavens, his enormous dragon head overlooking the Lingxiao Palace: "Old Jade Emperor, it's my turn to take the lead."
