The Eldravan Empire. Thornreach County.

Deep inside a long-sealed chamber of the once-mighty House Hanwynn palace, a scream shattered the stillness.

Kaelen Viremont jolted upright, gasping, eyes wide with terror.

“Where… where am I?” His voice trembled as he took in the dimly lit room. Ornate furnishings surrounded him—elegant, alien. Confusion twisted his features.

“Wasn’t I dead? What is this place?”

Then, like a floodgate opening, alien memories surged through his mind. Vivid. Unstoppable. He clutched his head as the torrent consumed him. Moments later, his breath evened out. His gaze sharpened.

“I… I’ve been reborn?”

“And it’s… three thousand years in the future?” The words barely left his lips before disbelief shook them.

He frowned. “How can I even be sure? These memories… foreign, yet carved into my soul.”

Once, in another life, Kaelen had been the crown prince of the Empire of Creation—a divine empire ruling the Spirit Realm with unmatched might.

But fate had cursed him. Born under a doomed star, his life had been short, shackled by a divine curse.

To save him, his father—the revered Divine Emperor—had risked everything. He ventured alone into the forbidden Above the Firmament and retrieved the mythical Golden Divine Pill, said to grant longevity beyond the sun and moon.

Kaelen remembered that day vividly. His father, bloodied and tattered, was collapsing at the palace gates.

“This pill…” he whispered, placing it into Kaelen’s trembling hands. “…will let you live as long as the heavens.”

Hope flickered. Then chaos.

Traitors stormed the imperial palace. Minister Theron Malgrave—the empire’s most trusted—betrayed the throne. Blood soaked the halls. Even his father’s unmatched cultivation couldn’t stop it.

Kaelen was killed.

But in his final moments, he swallowed the Golden Divine Pill. Even in death, the sacred relic would not fall into enemy hands.

And now… he had awakened. In a new world.

Kaelen rose slowly, staggering toward a bronze mirror. The face staring back was young, unfamiliar, yet regal. Proud. Determined.

Fragments of his original memories drifted through his mind. He had been reborn on the Velarion Continent, far from the Spirit Realm. Yet somehow, no trace of that realm remained.

“Are these two different worlds?” he whispered. “Or… another layer of the same universe?”

One truth blazed in his chest: I am alive.

“I’ve been given a second chance. That means… Hope still exists.”

Three thousand years. Everything he once knew might be gone. But his enemies may live. And so might his father.

His eyes burned with resolve.

“Theron may have taken the throne… but he didn’t kill my father. He couldn’t. I will return to the Spirit Realm. And the empire stolen from me… I will reclaim it.”

A vow, forged in pain, settled deep in his soul.

This time, his cursed body was gone. He had a future. A chance to grow stronger.

Then he sensed it.

The Golden Divine Pill, floating silently within his consciousness. Untouched. Brimming with celestial energy. Not just divine—it was destiny itself.

Kaelen now lived in Ebonvale Prefecture, a remote corner of the Great Eldravan Empire. Adopted seventeen years ago by House Hanwynn, a minor martial family, he had grown up a servant—beaten, mocked, and humiliated by the noble sons.

A sharp pain flared as he lifted his robe. Bruises and scars—blue, black, purple—marred his skin.

His jaw clenched. No memory was needed to know who had done this.

The noble sons of House Hanwynn—spoiled, cruel, thinking themselves gods among men.

But now…

“I’ve taken over this life,” he whispered. “From this moment, no one steps on me again.”

He sat cross-legged on the cold floor, circulating the Creation Divine Technique—a cultivation method from his former life. Golden energy surged through his meridians, pure, unstoppable. This was no ordinary cultivation. This was divine.

“Father said this technique holds secrets even he couldn’t unravel…”

Suddenly, the golden pill in his mind trembled.

Boom!

A burst of radiant energy erupted, flooding his spiritual core. In a single instant, Kaelen broke through—from ordinary human to the First Stage of the True Martial Realm.

Stunned, he realized the pill held oceans of spiritual energy—vast, eternal, infinite.

“No doubt about it,” he breathed. “This isn’t just any relic… It’s the legacy of the heavens.”

Strength surged through his limbs. Clan rules dictated he was now eligible for recognition at the ancestral hall—and for cultivation resources.

He reached for the door…

Boom!

The wooden door exploded inward. Splinters flew. Sunlight spilled through the shattered frame. Two hulking figures stepped in, eyes dripping malice.

“One last time, little bastard… we found you.”

Kaelen’s eyes narrowed. The reckoning had arrived.

  • Chapter 242: Longing

    Tarian Lysand felt… uneasy. Not just the usual kind of imperial caution, but a gnawing, unusual nervousness he couldn’t shake.The battle between Kaelen Viremont and Lorian Zethar earlier still played over and over in his mind like a relentless storm. The sheer intensity, the speed, the raw, terrifying strength—it had been more than impressive. It had been frightening.Kaelen had fought like a force of nature, a young man capable of tearing the heavens apart. Not just a cultivator, no. A prodigy who had descended into the world, and one powerful enough to unsettle even an emperor. That was exactly why Tarian Lysand felt off balance.He had no clue why Kaelen had asked to see him—alone.The battlefield had quieted. Most of the major figures had left, their presence no longer needed. Only a few elders from the Shadowfang Sect lingered in the distance, observing with cautious eyes.Kaelen stood not far away. Injured, yes, but still emanating a pressure that made anyone nearby instinctive

    “I’m fine.”Kaelen Viremont leaned against Kael’s arm, putting more weight on him than he probably wanted to admit. His face had gone pale—almost paper white—and every breath seemed heavier than the last. Still, somehow, he managed to force out a faint smile.The fight had taken nearly everything out of him.At this point, even standing straight felt like a challenge.But his eyes?Still sharp. Still clear.After a moment, his gaze slowly drifted across the battlefield. Broken stone, scattered weapons, people standing in stunned silence… and then his eyes settled on someone not far away.The Northern Suppressing King.The man who had looked so arrogant earlier now seemed like a completely different person. Gone was the proud ruler who had spoken with absolute confidence. His face was pale—deathly pale—and fear filled his eyes.Kaelen watched him quietly for a few seconds.Then he spoke.“Senior Brother Kael,” he said softly, “kill him.”His tone wasn’t loud. It wasn’t dramatic either.

  • Chapter 240: Try Touching Him If You Dare

    “You…!”Zephiron Glacien’s face went pale in an instant.The man standing before him looked barely thirty. White robes fluttered gently in the wind, and his expression was calm—almost indifferent.But Zephiron knew better.Liethan wasn’t young. Not really.They were from the same generation, nearly the same age—both closing in on fifty. Back in the day, they had been two of the most brilliant prodigies of their era. Now, though… their paths had diverged. And today, they stood on opposite sides of a battlefield that could swallow men whole.Zephiron’s eyes narrowed slowly. A cold light flickered deep within them as he fixed his gaze on the white-robed swordsman.“Step aside,” he said, his voice calm but carrying a deadly edge.“That brat—Kaelen Viremont—killed my son. Today, I take his life. No one can stop me.”The air seemed to freeze. Onlookers instinctively stepped back, sensing the raw killing intent beneath Zephiron’s restrained tone.Liethan didn’t move. Not an inch.The gentle

  • Chapter 239: A Sword Across a Thousand Miles

    “Ah—!”A sharp cry ripped through the air as Kaelen Viremont’s body suddenly shook, hard enough that it looked like he might collapse at any second.Pain flooded him. Not the dull kind either—the kind that comes in relentless waves, one after another, like the ocean slamming against jagged cliffs. It crushed into his bones, twisted through his muscles, and squeezed the air straight out of his lungs. For a moment—just a moment—he genuinely thought his body might crumble apart like dry sand.It was unbearable.The invisible pressure bearing down on him carried a frightening weight. It felt less like an attack and more like the heavens themselves had dropped an unseen mountain right on top of his shoulders.His knees trembled.Almost buckled.But he didn’t fall.Kaelen forced himself upright, every muscle screaming in protest. His face was twisted in pain, yet the fire in his eyes refused to die.“Zephiron Glacien!”His voice burst out like thunder, rough and strained but blazing with fu

  • Chapter 238: Perfectly Justified

    Buzz!The air itself seemed to tear apart. A terrifying, colossal aura descended, as a curtain of divine might draped across the earth. The ground trembled. Every cultivator scattered across the battlefield sucked in a sharp breath, disbelief freezing their bones.Zephiron Glacien.A peerless overlord, transcending even the Divine Ability Realm.He had arrived.Thud!Thud!Not just sounds. Each thud was a pulse of raw power, a shockwave that pressed on hearts, minds, and souls alike. Disciples who had dared to stand tall moments ago now crumpled to their knees, pale faces shaking under the weight of sheer, divine presence.No one—no one—could have imagined the sheer magnitude of Zephiron Glacien’s cultivation. From the distant territories of the Zephiron Bing Tribe, beyond the edge of the Great Wasteland, he had sensed his son’s death. Rage consumed him. And in the blink of an eye, he crossed immeasurable space to arrive here.“This… this is bad!” Kaelen Viremont’s eyes widened. His b

  • Chapter 237: Run Quickly

    Mentor Kaelric’s voice wasn’t just loud—it was sharp, heavy, threatening. It rolled over the battlefield like distant thunder before a storm, the kind that makes your stomach tighten even before the rain starts.And yet… the figure standing across from Kaelen Viremont didn’t so much as twitch.Under that black robe stood the Innate Dao Embryo. Silent. Still. No breath. No blinking. No fear. Honestly, it looked less like a person and more like something carved out of an ancient mountain and told to stand there forever.It wasn’t alive.It was a vessel. Nothing more.“Go.”Kaelen said it softly. Almost lazily, like he was telling someone to close a door.But the moment that word left his lips, something shifted. His soul surged outward, thin and sharp as a blade. A connection locked into place.The Innate Dao Embryo moved.No hesitation. No measuring the distance. It simply stepped forward.The ground cracked under its first step.Inside that stone body was the strength of dozens of anc
