Chapter 1

"Through countless years, I, Lin Yan, have finally been reborn!" At this moment, a young man suddenly opened his eyes and said softly.

Ten thousand years ago, the human race was in decline, and the demon race was rampant.

Among the demons, there were many geniuses, and Xuanhai was exceptionally talented, quickly ascending to become the Demon Emperor, known as the Great Emperor Xuanhai, who sought to unify the four directions by exterminating the human race!

Lin Yan was the top genius of the human race at that time, and also the leader of the most powerful human sect, the Heavenly Sect. To save the human race, he sought out the legendary eternal Heavenly Hall!

Inside the Heavenly Hall, Lin Yan comprehended all the laws of the universe, grasped countless runes, and then condensed the imperial bone, imperial vein, and imperial blood, cultivating his imperial body, and became an emperor in a single day!

Subsequently, Lin Yan and Xuanhai engaged in a battle, and after the imperial battle, although Lin Yan suppressed Xuanhai in the Boundless Graveyard, he himself was also severely injured!

The deputy leader of the Heavenly Sect, Lin Yan's brother Tianyu, took the opportunity to rebel, killing Lin Yan, extracting his imperial bone and imperial vein, and draining his imperial blood to cultivate his own body!

This allowed Tianyu to gain the Dao, become an emperor, and be known as the Great Emperor Tianyu!

He even became the leader of the Heavenly Sect!

Subsequently, in the Tianheng Realm, it was rumored that the Great Emperor Tianyu suppressed Xuanhai and protected the human race. As for the leader of the Heavenly Sect, Lin Yan, he betrayed the human race, colluded with the demon race, and was killed by the Great Emperor Tianyu!

Now, after ten thousand years, the cultivators of the Tianheng Realm revere the Great Emperor Tianyu, and almost every empire has statues and temples of the Great Emperor Tianyu, where people worship him!

As for Lin Yan, he could only bear the name of a traitor!

And he was cursed for a full ten thousand years!

Even now, whenever people mention the supreme glory of the Great Emperor Tianyu, some still curse Lin Yan!

"Tianyu! How could you betray me, your brother!" At this moment, Lin Yan's expression hardened, his eyes filled with the bitterness of being betrayed by his brother, but then a glint of killing intent appeared.

This grudge must be avenged!

"Even if I have no cultivation realm now, even if you are the strongest human of this era and have become an emperor, what can you do?" Lin Yan's expression hardened as he spoke, "As long as I, Lin Yan, am still alive, one day I will cultivate my imperial body again and kill you!"

The path of cultivation starts with refining the body, then absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to reach the Transcendent Realm, which is considered the true beginning of cultivation. After that, there are realms such as the Profound Spirit Realm and the Nirvana Realm!

"Yun Yao, in this life, I have ultimately failed you!" Lin Yan's eyes were filled with a hint of sadness, and the image of that graceful figure involuntarily appeared in his mind. Back then, Lin Yan had made a promise to her, that after the imperial battle, he would hold an imperial wedding to marry her, making her the first imperial empress of eternity. Unfortunately, he was later betrayed by Tianyu, and the wedding was never held. Now, ten thousand years have passed, and he wonders how she is doing?

As Lin Yan spoke these words, a flood of memories surged into his mind!

Although Lin Yan was killed and his physical body was destroyed, his soul did not dissipate. Relying on this thread of imperial soul, he cultivated for ten thousand years, and finally used this body to be reborn.

This body belonged to a sixteen-year-old boy, also named Lin Yan!

The memories that now flooded his mind were those of this young man's life.

Upon learning these memories, Lin Yan suddenly frowned.

He did not expect that the original owner of this body had such a fate.

It was somewhat similar to his own!

The original Lin Yan was a genius of the Lin family in the Yunton Empire. At the age of twelve, he completed the refinement of his body and reached the Transcendent Realm. At thirteen, he reached the Profound Spirit Realm. Later, he was found to have a holy body, with a holy bone, holy vein, and holy blood. This made him famous throughout the empire, and even the imperial royal family treated him with great respect, and the emperor Yunran directly bestowed him the title of marquis!

The powerful sect in this region, the Xuanjing Sect, even took him as a closed-door disciple!

It should be noted that in the Yunton Empire, fewer than ten disciples enter the Xuanjing Sect each year, and they only become outer sect disciples!

Thus, Lin Yan was directly called the first genius of the Yunton Empire!

However, after Lin Yan entered the Xuanjing Sect, the sect leader extracted his holy bone and holy vein, and drained his holy blood, transplanting them into his useless son, Xuanli!

Not only that, the Xuanjing Sect directly threw Lin Yan off the mountain cliff, and publicly declared that Lin Yan was a useless person, not a holy body, and did not have a holy bone, holy vein, or holy blood.

Later, Lin Yan was carried back by the Lin family, left with only a breath of life. Even if he survived, he could only become a useless person.

But in the end, he could not hold on, and his soul attached to this body.

With these memories surfacing, Lin Yan also directly gained the emotions of the previous Lin Yan.

Creak---

At this moment, the door to the room opened.

"Master--- you're awake?" A maid looked at Lin Yan, surprised, as everyone in the Lin family thought Lin Yan would not survive, but unexpectedly, he woke up.

"How long have I been asleep?" Lin Yan asked.

"Already ten days!" the maid Ruyun replied.

As Ruyun spoke, the Lin family was suddenly in chaos.

Cries and curses filled the air.

"What happened?" Lin Yan asked.

"It's--- it's the third--- third master who returned. After Master was carried back from the bottom of the cliff, the third master saw Master's injuries and went to the Xuanjing Sect to argue. But unexpectedly, the Xuanjing Sect did not say a word and directly crippled the third master's legs. The elders had to go through great trouble to bring the third master back from the Xuanjing Sect today! Before that, the Xuanjing Sect even said that all the Lin family are useless, and all those surnamed Lin should be killed, and they must change their surname, or they will be exterminated sooner or later." Ruyun, knowing she could not hide this from Lin Yan, cried as she spoke.

"Those surnamed Lin should be killed? A small Xuanjing Sect dares to speak such big words!" Lin Yan sneered.

"A small Xuanjing Sect?" The maid Ruyun was stunned. The Xuanjing Sect was the most powerful sect in this region!

"But why do they say such things?" Lin Yan asked.

"Has Master forgotten? Ten thousand years ago, the leader of the Heavenly Sect, Lin Zongzhu, betrayed the human race, and the Great Emperor Tianyu killed him, then suppressed the Demon Emperor and saved the human race. Since then, Lin Zongzhu has not only become a sinner of the human race but has also been cursed by the people. These people cursing Lin Zongzhu is one thing, but now, after ten thousand years, they are even cursing those surnamed Lin." Ruyun said.

"What?" Hearing this, Lin Yan's eyes were filled with a cold expression. Everything from ten thousand years ago had been completely altered by Tianyu. He, who had saved the human race and suppressed the Demon Emperor, had become a sinner of the human race!

In the Tianheng Realm, few knew Lin Yan's true name, only that the founder of the Heavenly Sect was surnamed Lin, and was called Lin Zongzhu!

Staring at Lin Yan's cold expression, Ruyun's body trembled. She had never felt that Lin Yan's eyes were so terrifying, as if they could devour people. The previous Lin Yan had never shown such an expression, but Ruyun still said, "Master, your body---"

"I'm fine, take me to the front courtyard!" Lin Yan said.

Then Ruyun led Lin Yan to the front courtyard.

In the front courtyard of the Lin family, many core members of the Lin family had gathered.

But at this moment, their faces were not good.

When they saw Lin Yan appear, many were surprised.

"Yan'er, are your injuries healed?" An old man walked up to Lin Yan, surprised. Although they had given Lin Yan many spiritual medicines, they did not expect him to be able to stand up.

"How is Uncle Three?" Looking at the old man, Lin Yan knew he was the Grand Elder of the Lin family, Lin Jian, and immediately asked.

"The people of the Xuanjing Sect are ruthless. Lin Nan only went to the Xuanjing Sect and cursed them, and they directly crippled his legs." The Grand Elder looked at Lin Yan.

"Uncle Three--- Uncle Three---" At this moment, Lin Nan, on a stretcher, opened his eyes, extremely weak.

"Uncle Three!" Lin Yan immediately walked up to him. After obtaining the memories of the previous Lin Yan, he had a deep emotional connection to the Lin family.

"Yan'er, when your parents were on their deathbed, they entrusted you to me, but I failed to protect you from the Xuanjing Sect. I truly feel guilty to your parents. Now, Uncle Three has become a useless person, and I fear I will no longer have the ability to protect you or the Lin family!" Lin Nan's face was extremely pale as he held Lin Yan's hand.

Just after saying this, Lin Nan fainted.

"Since I have obtained the body of the previous Lin Yan, I will take responsibility for protecting this Lin family!"

"As for the Xuanjing Sect, hmpf, it's just a small sect. Since I, Lin Yan, have been reborn, I will first turn this sect to dust!"

Lin Yan thought, looking at Lin Nan.
