A somber atmosphere enveloped the grand and majestic house. A human body lay stiff on the bed, wept over by many.

“My son… Hic... hic...” sobbed a beautiful woman with thick eyebrows, round eyes, and fluttering eyelashes. Her red lips curled into a sly smile.

An elderly man bowed his head, gazing at the lifeless body of his pride and joy. No parent ever wishes to see their child die before them. They only wish to witness their child’s accomplishments and receive honor in return before passing on.

The wailing of everyone around echoed softly, like a chant to send the soul of the deceased to its final destination.

Outside the house, his classmates arrived to pay their respects—to confirm the truth about their friend’s death.

Among the attendees, a few silently rejoiced, pleased to see the school troublemaker finally lying in a coffin, carried by four men into an ambulance.

“No more chaos at school now. This is great.” one student thought.

And who knows what thoughts filled the hearts of the others?

No one expected Wu Xiaoshi to die so suddenly—just from choking on grass jelly in his drink.

In another realm, a soul drifted midair…

“What happened to my body? Why am I like this? Half-existence? Am I really dead? But from what?” Wu Xiaoshi muttered, asking questions no one answered. He was all alone.

“Hello? Is there really no one here?” he repeated, growing frustrated. “Damn it! What kind of joke is this? I know I made mistakes in life, but do you really have to toy with me like this?” he said, scanning the area, hoping to find a speck of light that might guide him home.

“I will give you a second life—but with one condition!” said a voice. It was loud, but the speaker remained unseen.

“Hey, who are you?” Wu Xiaoshi asked, alert and ready to fight. As a provincial martial arts champion, he was confident he could handle anyone—if only they’d show themselves.

“I am the god who pulled your soul from that worthless body,” the voice replied. A heavy aura accompanied the words, and Wu Xiaoshi felt a pressure crash down on him, sending him into a seemingly endless fall.

“You must become a good person—and I want you to become a ruler in another world. But to rise to power, you must first start from the bottom. So, what do you choose? Death or life in a new world?”

“If I can choose, then I want to return to a life of luxury, wealth, and women,” Wu Xiaoshi replied, smirking.

“That’s not an option. I’m asking you—life or death!” the voice shouted in frustration.

Wu Xiaoshi’s fall abruptly stopped—though he never hit the ground.

“There’s no harm in living until the end, even if I can no longer enjoy the world that once offered so much pleasure,” the god, Zhang Miran, said calmly.

“I choose life! But I have conditions too!” Wu Xiaoshi declared.

“What are they?” the god asked.

“First, I want to see my original body on Earth. Second, I want a cultivation power system. Third, I want a star-level cultivation manual like the ones I saw in Chinese fantasy movies.”

“The first and third, I can grant. As for the second, I don’t know of such a system,” Zhang Miran replied, glancing sideways at Wu Xiaoshi with his divine eye.

“Alright, I won’t push it,” Wu Xiaoshi sighed in defeat.

Suddenly, the veil around them vanished, and Wu Xiaoshi saw his own coffin being carried away. His heart sank.

Swush!

A soul floated between heaven and earth. It was Wu Xiaoshi’s, and he was shown the pitiful cause of his death—choking on grass jelly. Nothing glorious about it.

His glorious days of flirting with girls—gone. Worse, he might be forgotten entirely.

As a school gangster, he had hoped to die honorably—so he could brag about it in the afterlife.

After the funeral, he was shown the betrayal in his own house. His stepmother had poisoned his cappuccino.

“That’s how you died,” said Zhang Miran, waving his hand to dissolve the vision. “Are you ready for your new life?”

“May I ask something first?”

Zhang Miran nodded.

“Will I enter the body of a trash youth or will my body be rebuilt to match that world?”

“You’ll inhabit the body of another person—also poisoned by his stepmother,” Zhang Miran answered. “Any other questions?”

“No. At least I know how he died,” Wu Xiaoshi said.

“You may take his memories, if you want.”

“Fine. Give them to me.”

Swush! His soul traveled across time and space…

His eyes snapped open. His hand reached up and rubbed them. He wiped his eyes, though there were no tears—only the sensation of them.

He found himself wedged between thick tree trunks. Wu Xiaoshi tried to move his aching body. Once able, he sat up and repositioned himself. Without the trees, he would’ve fallen onto sharp rocks below.

Suddenly, memories poured in. Thankfully, he had grabbed the tree and held on tightly—because the pain was excruciating. He screamed so loudly, birds fled in terror.

The pain passed within a few breaths—but felt like years.

A wolf’s howl echoed nearby. Three young wolves approached, ready to pounce at his dangling clothes.

Wu Xiaoshi quickly pulled up his robes.

“Damn! My scream attracted them. If the mother comes, I’m done. What should I do? I need overwhelming strength to survive in this world—but I know nothing about the powers that crazy god gave me,” he muttered, climbing higher like a caterpillar on a branch.

Grrrr! Three massive wolves arrived, drooling, eyes locked on him. One leaped high—

And what would happen next?

    No one knew or expected that the tall hill would disappear from their world.After that, Wu Xiaoshi entered the soul world and arranged everything. He brought the ten women to take care of Song Hye.Wu Xiaoshi looked at his wife. “Darling, you will be accompanied by them. I’ve found a place to cultivate, and it might take a long time. I hope I can witness the birth of our child.”“Hopefully, my love!” Song Hye hugged her husband tightly, as if unwilling to let go. For giving birth is the most nerve-wracking moment for a woman, and only a woman can truly understand that feeling._Wu Xiaoshi stood facing a bright blue lake that was so calm, yet he knew the water flowed from a tree upstream. That tree seemed to wave at him, as if inviting him to come closer.But the young man wasn't reckless. He took out a Golden Dragon Jade Pill he had kept. He had made ten of them, consumed one earlier to test its effectiveness and stability, gave five to Gu Haochun, and kept the remaining four for hi

    There are opportunities, and there are also failures. Both walk side by side. Good and bad as well. There is no smooth path without potholes, no straight road without turns.No one can defy the power of the Creator of the universe. No matter how strong they are._Gu Haochun handed over a teleportation token that would send the young man to a small world, where there was access to a sacred pond. The origin of that world was still unknown. However, an ancestor of the Gu Clan had discovered it through a complex formation. He managed to open it, left a mark, and began exploring. But he never fully explored the small world. When he found the sacred pond, he stopped and cultivated by soaking in it. As a result, the ancestor was able to reach the divine realm. That ancestor no longer existed in the Shentu continent, but the matter remained a secret within the Gu Clan._Wu Xiaoshi was strolling through Yang City, still within the Gu Clan’s territory. The city was called Gudi.“Gu Sun. I wan

    Two days had passed.With the disappearance of Grandmaster Wu Xiaoshi, Master Shu was now faced with a dilemma. He bowed before Patriarch Gu Haochun."Have you found him, Master Shu?" Gu Haochun stared sharply. "You know? No one has ever been able to deceive me. I will give you a bonus day to find the person or the pill he made. If neither he nor the pill is found by then, be prepared for the consequences of that agreement. If you understand, leave!""I take my leave, Patriarch." Master Shu Yang turned around, feeling like he was at the edge of death. If he stayed too long in that place, he felt like his chest would tighten and he wouldn’t be able to breathe. Although he was respected for his contribution to cultivators through the pills he had created, that was outside—before he signed a contract to become the sole master in the Gu Clan. He had been lured by the tempting promises written in that agreement.‘Where could you be?’ Master Shu felt like crying. This was also his own carel

    Dozens of people came, floating in the sky, curious to see what had actually happened on the Eastern Peak, where it was known that a pill-refining process was taking place. The massive explosion that had shocked the entire sect stirred both curiosity and concern, leading many to decide to investigate for themselves.Among them, only elders of the Gu Clan were permitted to fly and had the authority to observe the situation. Some law enforcement officers of the sect, with special clearance to fly and conduct investigations within the sect, also came. Now, all of them stared at the ruins of the Eastern Peak residence."Could this destruction really be caused just by refining pills?" one of them questioned, analyzing the scene, clearly skeptical that a furnace explosion alone could result in such devastation.Never before had they heard of someone making pills that could trigger a natural disaster."Greetings, Master Shu!" someone called out to Shu Yang, who had just emerged from beneath

    “Forgive me for being late, I owe you all a great debt. How many days remain until the deadline stated in the Agreement?” After glancing at the disciples, he now looked at Master Shu with the question.“Two days, young master!” Adding the title "young master" was an honor for Wu Xiaoshi, but he knew Shu Yang only did this in hopes of having him relieve them from responsibility. The sly expression on someone behind Shu Yang clearly showed they were whispering — and with his sharp hearing, Wu Xiaoshi could catch what they were saying.However, this godly hearing couldn't always be used, as it would hinder his cultivation due to loss of focus.“In that case, we must hurry. I will now demonstrate the legendary art of Pill-making. Prepare your notes to record every detail of my method, because I won’t repeat myself. Do you understand?”“We understand!” everyone replied in unison. Even though there were doubts in their hearts, fighting in this situation was a tough decision in itself.Wu Xi

    Boom!The cultivation chamber shattered, unable to withstand the power that surged from the body of the future Heavenly Emperor. Furious bolts of lightning shot out in every direction.With that lightning mode activated, Wu Xiaoshi resembled the God of Thunder. His body radiated a blue aura, and his usually flowing long hair stood upright, following the ferocity of the lightning mode.He moved instantly — and so fast that his previous speed could no longer be compared to this.Boom! Boom! Boom!Mountains, seas, and trees exploded — all destroyed by three swift, technique-less attacks powered purely by lightning energy. What if he had used techniques as a support? The results would’ve been even more terrifying.His cultivation realm had now risen to the Peak of the Heavenly King Stage.“It’s time to go to the Sacred Lake to collect on Patriarch Gu’s deceitful promise. Nearly everyone in this clan only seeks personal gain. I must remain cautious and humble, so I don’t become a thorn eas
