The glowing purple light faded into the rain. Ye Tian lay motionless on the wet asphalt. Inside his dark mind space the Supreme God drew his first breath in ten millennia.A vast ocean of silent energy swirled around his consciousness. He opened his spiritual eyes and observed his new reality. He remembered the bitter betrayal in the Nine Heavens.His most trusted disciple drove a poisoned blade through his heart during the Heavenly Tribulation. The traitors locked his immortal soul inside a worthless stone pendant. He spent countless ages trapped in a lightless void.He waited patiently for a mortal vessel to cross his path. The ancient seal required pure resentment and a willing blood sacrifice to break. The agonizing despair of a discarded husband provided the exact key he needed.A faint wisp of the original mortal soul floated before him. The spirit wept in silent agony over the memories of his wife."Your tears are useless." The Supreme God spoke into the void. "Tears do not was

"President Su, you are being deceived." Lin Ruoxue screamed across the ballroom.Ruoxue rushed forward and stopped just a few feet away from the billionaire CEO.Her beautiful face twisted into an ugly mask of jealousy. Seeing the man she considered garbage holding the most powerful woman in Jiangbei City broke her fragile vanity."Do not let him touch you." Ruoxue pointed a manicured finger at Ye Tian. "He is my husband. He is a useless penniless house servant who scrubs my floors and washes my laundry."The elite crowd gasped. Whispers erupted among the platinum tables.Su Qinghan did not pull her arm away. She did not even blink. She kept her posture tall and elegant.Ye Tian did not look embarrassed. He did not bow his head like he used to do in the Lin family kitchen.He looked at Ruoxue with the cold amusement of a king watching a struggling insect. He let the whispers fill the room for a few seconds before he spoke."Correction." Ye Tian projected his deep voice. "I was your hu

"Step aside." Doctor Sun shoved his way into the humid underground cavern.The doors closed behind them. The Jiangbei underground medicinal market smelled of crushed dried roots.Hundreds of stalls lined the damp stone walls.Thousands of desperate buyers and secretive sellers crowded the narrow dirt aisles.Doctor Sun walked down the main path with his head held high. The underground market was his true domain. He was not just a modern hospital chief.He was a highly respected Master Apothecary in the hidden world of traditional pill refiners.Vendors dropped their weighing scales the moment they saw his white coat. Several stall owners rushed out from behind their tables to bow deeply in respect."Welcome Master Sun." A wealthy herb merchant smiled broadly. "We saved the premium century ginseng for you."Doctor Sun ignored the merchant and stopped in the center plaza of the market. He turned around and pointed an accusing finger directly at Ye Tian."Listen to me everyone." Doctor S

"Why are you walking behind him, Master Sun?" Uncle Su Ming demanded.The doors of the Su family estate slammed shut. Ye Tian walked into the grand parlor with a leather bag over his shoulder.Doctor Sun trailed two steps behind him. The old doctor kept his eyes glued to the floor. His shoulders slumped forward like a beaten dog.Su Ming stood by the fireplace holding his silver flask. He stared at the famous doctor in deep confusion. Madam Su and Su Zheng stepped out of the hallway to witness the bizarre sight."Master Sun, what happened at the market?" Su Zheng asked. "Did he try to steal the family funds?"Doctor Sun did not answer. He pressed his lips together and refused to meet their gaze. The humiliation of kneeling in the dirt still burned fresh in his mind."I have the ingredients." Ye Tian ignored the confused family members. He looked at Su Qinghan. "Take me to your kitchen. I need a bronze pot and an open flame.""Follow me Mr. Ye." Su Qinghan nodded quickly. She led him p

"Keep your eyes on the road ahead, A Hu." Ye Tian commanded from the backseat of the sedan.A Hu gripped the steering wheel and nodded firmly. The martial artist drove the luxury vehicle away from the grand gates of the Su family estate. He watched the rearview mirror with sharp paranoid focus."I will guard your life with my own Master Ye." A Hu stated. "You purged that poison from my heart. My previous employer abandoned me to die on the ballroom floor. I owe you every breath I take.""Your mortal life belongs to me now." Ye Tian looked out the tinted window at the passing trees. "Serve me well and you will achieve strength beyond your mortal comprehension.""I spent ten years fighting in the underground arenas." A Hu kept his eyes on the winding mountain road. "I thought I knew what true power looked like. Watching you strike those pressure points changed everything I believe.""You know nothing of true power." Ye Tian replied calmly. "But you will learn."Screech.Tires burned aga
