In the Azure World.

“Master is dead, Yi Yi is gone, and grandpa is gone. So I’m the only one left…” Liu Li struggled to move forward and return to his original place.

His situation wasn’t good. His entire body was covered in wounds with a strange texture, as if he was cursed. There were many wounds on his body, and crimson blood was flowing out, looking crimson and bright.

A powerful aura spread from his body. It was a power comparable to a true monarch and even faintly surpassed it. It pierced out of his body without any disguise, making people terrified. Indeed, his cultivation base was already at the peak of the true monarch realm.

In the Azure World, powerhouses came from all directions. However, even so, a true monarch was deemed one of the top groups of people in the past.

Liu Li’s strength could also be imagined. Yet, although a true monarch’s strength was strong, his opponent was even more powerful. In a trance, Liu Li couldn’t help but start to recall the past.

That year, after his teacher left them, he and his sister Liu Yi depended on each other for survival, cultivating together. With his teacher risking his life to cleanse their marrow, both Liu Li’s and Liu Yi’s aptitude had improved significantly.

Liu Yi was already extremely talented, far surpassing the average person. Even someone as useless as Liu Li had far surpassed the average person because of his teacher’s sacrifice back then, allowing his aptitude to make up for it. So they cultivated in the wasteland region and quietly improved themselves. Then, they left.

The subsequent series of journeys were quite exciting. Liu Li didn’t know why his life was so exciting. He just wanted to cultivate and find a way to revive his teacher.

He was a transmigrator, and he was also a cultivator. So, naturally, he firmly believed in the existence of the soul. Moreover, he believed that as long as he became strong enough, he might have a chance to save his teacher in the future. Other than that, he didn’t have the intention to cause trouble.

Even though he was a transmigrator, the difficult life in the wasteland for more than ten years had given him a lot of training, allowing him to understand the principle of keeping a low profile. Yet, sometimes, things will automatically find their way to you even if you don’t go looking for trouble.

Liu Li didn’t know whether he was lucky or unlucky. Every time he wanted to cultivate steadily, new discoveries and situations constantly appeared, disrupting his opportunities. However, due to all kinds of opportunities and coincidences, he was always able to face all kinds of people in the end.

It was still okay in the beginning. The people he provoked were small families, nothing serious. However, after fighting small families, the old ones came. Slowly, Liu Li sensed that something was wrong.

The people he provoked quickly became stronger, and in the end, he even provoked a true-monarch figure, who was already at his teacher’s level. However, it would be fine if it were just like that. He could have just hidden if he couldn’t beat them.

His grandfather, Xu Shan, was also a supreme-level figure and understood the true monarch figure’s methods. In addition, his strength at that time was no longer the same as before, so he barely managed to escape from the pursuit.

However, this was not the end. The bigger trouble was still ahead of him. To cover their retreat, his grandfather Xu Shan had to make many shots and eventually exposed himself.

Only then did Liu Li know that his grandfather was a famous devil cultivator hundreds of years ago. He was well-known in the Azure World and had offended many enemies back then. Yet, unfortunately, many of those enemies were true monarchs and were still alive.

Apart from that, his sister Liu Yi was also worrying. He once discovered an ancient soul in Liu Yi’s body, whose strength far surpassed that of a true monarch. It was extremely powerful and had reached a higher level. However, no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn’t make Liu Yi stay. They could only watch as she was taken away.

After a series of journeys, Liu Li’s enemies were all over the world, and he was in a desperate situation. Liu Yi was taken away, and his grandfather was separated from him. He didn’t know where they had gone.

As for himself? Although his strength was no longer the same as before, and he had already reached the peak of the true monarch realm, he was still heading toward desperation. Now, his body was covered in wounds, and an immortal curse hit him.

He was not far from death. The immortal curse originated from the curse of the ancient immortals. Its level was not something a true monarch could resist. He only had one year left. One year later, he would die no matter what because of the power of the immortal curse.

This was also why his enemies did not come to find him because, in their eyes, Liu Li was already a person on the verge of death. So why bother with a person on the verge of death? What’s worse, what if they were dragged into the water by Liu Li before he died?

Although Liu Li’s body was covered in wounds, he was still at the peak of the true monarch realm. Therefore, if he wanted to drag one or two people down into the water with him, he could still do it. So no one stopped him as he walked through the desert without any obstacles.

Finally, Liu Li returned to the place where he grew up. It was the wasteland region. The wasteland region was huge. In Liu Li’s opinion, the wasteland region seemed to have no boundaries. Everything was so vast, almost endless. Just the area of the wasteland region alone was bigger than the entire planet that he had transmigrated to in his previous life.

However, although the wasteland was vast, it was still the same looking at it now. The vast wasteland lacked a spiritual aura, which wasn’t very productive. It was just a remote place. Cultivators were extinct here, and only very few cultivators were willing to come and stay here for long.

Other than some small families and cultivators who had no other choice, no one was willing to stay here for long. Nonetheless, even in such a desolate place, some treasured lands would always be filled with a spiritual aura.

This was what Liu Li’s hometown was like. That place could be considered a rare place in the wasteland region. It was filled with a spiritual aura, and it looked beautiful. It was still considered a pretty good place even compared to a few large regions filled with spiritual aura, not to mention other places in the wasteland region.

Unfortunately, behind this flourishing spiritual opportunity came a clear price. There was once a true monarch cultivator who transformed into a Dao here. His blood and bones remained here, and his spirit rhyme affected this world. Only then was he able to forcefully open up such a treasured land in this desolate place. Yet, its price was extremely clear.

“Master… I came to see you.”

As Liu Li returned to the wasteland region, he would visit his master’s tombstone every year. The tombstone had been erected by Liu Li together with Liu Yi. Initially, it was simple and shabby, but later on, they continuously strengthened it, and only now did it take shape.

Liu Li had left behind a complete, true monarch array here, so no cultivator below the true monarch level would be able to notice this place. This was also for protection. Otherwise, who knew what they would do if other people learned about this tombstone?

On this day, Liu Li returned to this place with some wine. Time gradually passed. Due to the immortal curse, Liu Li’s mind gradually became somewhat muddled, and his consciousness began to blur. Sometimes, he would sit here for several hours, but he didn’t know what he was talking about.

Liu Li was clear about his state— he was about to die. He wasn’t afraid of death. After all, he was someone who had died once. It was just that, more or less, there was always some unwillingness in his heart.

He didn’t know where his sister was. She was probably being possessed by that ancient soul at this moment, slowly wiping out her consciousness. His grandfather’s whereabouts were a mystery that might have been suppressed and hunted down. His good friend was wandering all over the place, and he might not be living a good life right now.

Yet, he could only sit here alone, unable to do anything. He felt somewhat unwilling whenever he thought of this.

“Master, if only you were still here…” He couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

If his master were still here, things would not have evolved to this point, and he would not have had to fight alone.

“I have always been here.” An inexplicable voice sounded from the side and reached Liu Li’s ears.

Liu Li’s body paused for a moment. Then a self-deprecating look appeared, “It seems that the immortal curse has been going on for a long time. Even with my cultivation, hallucinations began to appear.”

That inexplicable voice was his master’s voice, though his master was dead. So how could he appear again? This must be an illusion.

“This isn’t an illusion.” The voice behind him continued to sound, sounding a little speechless.

“The hallucination has indeed become heavier.” Liu Li let out a long sigh.

“I say, turn around and take a look.” A weak voice continued to be heard.

This time, Liu Li turned around to take a look. Then, he was stunned. Behind him, a young man happened to be standing there, dressed in a long robe. His appearance was as handsome as a god’s. He looked calm and deep, and he had a transcendent aura.

His appearance was different from Liu Li’s impression back then. There were many changes, but they did not conceal the aura that originated from the origin. It was his master.

“Master…” Liu Li rubbed his eyes for a long time. Then, he finally confirmed it and pounced on him.

“Master, it’s you!” He hugged Chen Heng’s thigh and cried, “I have been through so much these years.”

“Was it bad?” Chen Heng looked at Liu Li helplessly, “Why do I feel that you’re very energetic? It looks like you’ve been through a lot these past few years.”

After confirming that Chen Heng was a real person, Liu Li finally calmed down. Then, he realized that two people were standing behind Chen Heng. They looked unique, unlike Liu Li and Chen Heng. Instead, they looked like Westerners from his previous life. They had blonde hair, and their appearance was different.

As if sensing Liu Li’s gaze, Chen Heng introduced, “These two are Carey and Krudo. They are my good friends in the other world. They can be considered your elders.”

Liu Li immediately became respectful. Although he could feel that these two people did not seem to have any profound cultivation, as long as they were his master’s good friends, they were his elders and needed to be treated with respect. At the same time, he also sensed the key point in Chen Heng’s words.

‘Another world?’

“Master, are you now a reincarnated body?” He blurted out and subconsciously asked.

“Well, you can say so.” Chen Heng glanced at him and then slowly nodded.

In a profound sense, he constantly reopened the various worlds through the simulation. Therefore, it could be considered a reincarnation, which was also in line with Liu Li’s definition of reincarnation.

He didn’t expect that the time flow in the World of Gods and these worlds would be so astonishing. When he left the Azure World, it took him some time to arrive at the World of Gods. After that, he advanced to Supreme Divine Power, but it had only been a thousand years for Liu Li, and he was still at the true monarch level.

He thought that as he came back this time, just like in the Sorcerer World, he would have to pull Liu Li back by reversing time. This was how it was done in the Sorcerer World. There was no other way, as too much time had passed.

Carey, Krudo, his wife, and children had all died long ago, and even their bones had turned into dregs.

Only Chen Heng, as a Supreme Divine Power, could directly reverse the entire world’s time and forcefully pull Carey, Krudo, and the others out. Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, there would have been nothing they could do.

However, even so, Carey and the others were already long dead, so that they couldn’t stay in the Sorcerer World for too long. Otherwise, it would cause some trouble, and Chen Heng must constantly suppress that backlash.

Therefore, Chen Heng simply brought them out of that world and into other worlds. His wife and children had already been arranged. He only brought Krudo and Carey, two old friends, out to travel and taught them cultivation along the way.

“Looks like you’ve had a wonderful time while I was away. Come, tell me in detail.”

Chen Heng waved his hand and got a few chairs. Then, he looked at Liu Li, indicating that he could begin his talk. Liu Li did not hesitate. Instead, he considered his words and began to tell his story.

His story was wonderful. Not to mention Carey and Krudo, even Chen Heng listened with great interest and thought it was wonderful.

“Not bad.” Chen Heng smiled and said, “I’m afraid this story could be directly published into a book.”

Liu Li smiled a little embarrassedly. He also felt that his experience was a little ridiculous. If someone had told him these things before they happened, he would most likely have listened to them as a story. Yet, the situation was not so wonderful when the story happened to him.

However, Chen Heng was not surprised by his story at all. Liu Li before him was a Chosen One. How many stories of a Chosen One were not exciting? However, compared to the other Chosen Ones that Chen Heng knew, the situation of the Chosen One before him, Liu Li, was a little too miserable.

His good friend had died or run away, his sister had been possessed, his grandfather had been chased, and he had been cursed to death very soon—what an oppressive story.
