Chapter 1

At the peak of Mount Tai, a bolt of lightning tore through the void, shattering the altar at the summit. The thunder in broad daylight, combined with the destruction of the ancient ruins, sparked intense debate.

On a train heading to Tongzhou.

A young man sat on the train, his expression dazed. His chiseled face was somewhat pale, but it couldn't hide the ambitious spirit that radiated from him, revealing an extraordinary aura.

"Have I really been reborn? Or is this just an illusion?"

The young man sighed, carefully sensing his body. He found that the Imperial Scripture, which was like a dormant dragon in the depths, could not be summoned. All his cultivation had vanished, leaving only a faint protective aura from the Imperial Scripture.

"It seems I have truly returned, and I'm back on Earth, at the age of twenty." The young man's name was Luo Chen, the last descendant of the Imperial lineage.

Originally, Luo Chen was just an ordinary person, but by chance, he entered the cultivation world and obtained the Imperial Scripture, becoming the last heir of the revered Imperial lineage. He cultivated step by step and eventually achieved the exalted position of Supreme Immortal.

In his past life, Luo Chen was invincible, sweeping through all enemies across countless realms, standing at the pinnacle of all paths. Unfortunately, he was ambushed by the three Heavenly Lords who returned from the Third Solar Era.

"Ha, the three Heavenly Lords? You went to such lengths to ambush me with the Wordless Heavenly Book and the Ten Great Evil Arrays for the sake of the Imperial Scripture, but it was in vain. I was not destined to die, and I have returned." A cold smile appeared on Luo Chen's lips, and a hint of coldness condensed in his eyes.

In his past life, although his combat power was astonishing and his powerful spells overshadowed all paths, his ultimate realm was still too low, and he ultimately suffered a calamity, spilling his blood in the Ten Great Evil Arrays and dying in a self-explosion.

But this life is different. He has been reborn again, back on Earth.

"I need to lay a solid foundation now, cultivate my divine treasures step by step, and obtain the few world-shocking divine seeds scattered across Earth. Then, even the three Heavenly Lords will only be fit to be trampled under my feet."

"Ha, I look forward to meeting you again, three Heavenly Lords. I will see if you still have the qualifications to match me. When I take the lead and secure a few supreme treasures, I look forward to the expressions on your faces!" A cold smile again crossed Luo Chen's lips.

"Beep beep beep..." The ringtone sounded, and Luo Chen took out his phone, his brows furrowing. Seeing the caller, the detached state of mind he had cultivated could not help but ignite a spark of hatred.

The reason he embarked on the path of cultivation was related to this caller.

But it was the beginning of his lifelong tragedy.

In his past life, his family was not particularly wealthy, but his father owned a house in the county town, a car, and even had a few hundred thousand in savings, making them a relatively well-off family. They also had a small interior decoration company, so no matter what, he could live a relatively comfortable life.

But this trip destroyed everything.

Shortly after graduating from university, he and his girlfriend, Zhang Xiaoman, were separated by distance. This time, he was going to see her. For Zhang Xiaoman, Luo Chen even gave up his promising future in Youzhou and became a small clerk in Tongzhou.

Luo Chen never imagined that this trip would be the beginning of a disaster.

He brought carefully selected gifts to Tongzhou, only to be beaten to near death. His hands were shattered, and his knees were kicked to pieces, leaving him depressed and even contemplating suicide for a long time.

He became a cripple, unable to live independently. His father spent all the family's savings, sold the car and house, and eventually resorted to scavenging to survive.

On a snowy night, someone brought back his father's cold body, and he wept uncontrollably.

For nearly twenty years afterward, he lived like a dog, being mocked and cursed, even begging for a living.

The blow was too great, and Luo Chen once felt utterly disheartened. One night, he went to the peak of Mount Tai and jumped off.

Unexpectedly, he did not die but fell into the cultivation world, eventually obtaining the Imperial Scripture and embarking on the path of cultivation. He rose against the odds, achieving supreme legend, defeating all the ancient deities, and becoming a revered Supreme Immortal.

Unfortunately, even as a supreme immortal, he could not revive his father, which became the greatest regret of his legendary life and the reason he could not break through the final barrier.

But this time is different. Since he has been given a second chance, Luo Chen vowed that no one would harm his father, and the enemies in Tongzhou who destroyed his family in his past life would not go unpunished.

He answered the call, and a voice tinged with impatience and coldness came from the other end.

"Hey, Luo Chen, give me a call when you arrive, and my mother and I will come to the station to pick you up."

The caller didn't give Luo Chen a chance to respond and hung up.

A cold smile crossed Luo Chen's lips. In his past life, he had loved this woman like a madman, but after going to Tongzhou, he was looked down upon by her parents, who mocked and belittled him.

This woman, due to her family's opposition, eventually deceived him out of the over a million yuan his father had given him for starting a business and then abandoned him, hooking up with a rich second-generation.

But in this life, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile coldly. They could play this out slowly.

Luo Chen put down his phone and happened to notice an old man and a young girl sitting next to him.

The old man was eagerly opening an ancient box, taking out a painting and spreading it out to admire.

But after a glance, Luo Chen disdainfully turned away.

"What do you know? Do you understand?" Suddenly, a young girl next to the old man questioned, her voice filled with arrogance. She had been pampered since childhood due to her status, and seeing Luo Chen's disdainful look, she immediately flared up.

Understand?

Are you kidding?

Luo Chen was a Supreme Immortal in his past life. With his knowledge, how could he not understand?

Moreover, with just one look, Luo Chen knew that the painting was a fake. The old man was treating it with such care, as if it were the real thing.

But with Luo Chen's temperament, how could he stoop to the level of a little girl?

Luo Chen also noticed that from their attire, the old man and the young girl were likely of extremely high status, either wealthy or powerful.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. It's true, someone like you, a country bumpkin, probably hasn't seen a genuine antique worth millions in your entire life." The young girl spoke with her chin held high, her face full of disdain. She was of noble birth and usually associated with the elite, naturally looking down on ordinary people like Luo Chen.
