"Should I become the Green Emperor in the future, I will make a place where peach blossoms bloom. This is a poem by a Tang Dynasty poet..."

In an ordinary classroom, a teacher was explaining the poem, while the students below took notes.

There were over thirty students in the class. At a seat near the back, a young boy's body trembled slightly as he slowly raised his head. His messy bangs were disheveled, and his delicate face was filled with confusion.

He had just woken up from a deep sleep, with familiar yet strange words echoing in his ears.

"Have you come back?"

After a long while, a faint sigh echoed in his heart, and Qin Xuan confirmed a fact.

He looked at his somewhat youthful hands, slightly dazed. His eyes were as calm as an ancient well, seemingly containing boundless沧桑, even the collapse of heaven and earth would not cause the slightest ripple in these eyes.

But here, no one would notice; only Qin Xuan stared fixedly at the teacher on the podium, silent for a long time.

...

Familiar yet strange memories stirred in the corners of his mind, causing a ripple in the heart that had been calm for many years.

The Green Emperor, originally named Qin Xuan. After entering the cultivation world, he changed his name to Qin Changqing. He was the ruler of a domain in the immortal realm, his power shaking all races. He achieved the position of Great Emperor in ten thousand years, his talent unparalleled, sweeping through his peers. He transcended the tribulation to become an immortal in a thousand years and ascended to the position of Emperor in ten thousand years. He was once hailed as the "First in Ten Thousand Years" in the cultivation world. After entering the immortal realm, he suppressed countless heavenly geniuses in just ten thousand years, eventually obtaining the inheritance of the Green Emperor in the "Imperial Hall of Immortals," reigning over a region and being revered as the Green Emperor by all races in the immortal realm, thus achieving immortality and becoming a human emperor.

Now, he had returned to his youth, time reshaped, and he was once again an ordinary high school student on Earth.

"The Tribulation of Immortal Burial, the difficulty of becoming a god, in the end, I still failed." Qin Xuan sighed deeply in his heart, recalling the past, feeling a sense of melancholy: "If not for the loss of my imperial will at the last moment, how could the Tribulation of Immortal Burial have stopped me? Breaking the immortal-god channel that had existed for ten thousand years, alas..."

In the final tribulation to become a god, what he thought was as solid as a rock, his imperial will, was left with a flaw due to a momentary lapse. This led to the invasion of the tribulation, experiencing three thousand illusory realms, and ultimately the collapse of his imperial will. If not for the last moment, when he abandoned all his cultivation and ten thousand years of foundation, fighting to the death and plunging into the river of time, he would have perished in the Tribulation of Immortal Burial.

Since he began cultivation, Qin Changqing had never been inferior to anyone, and he had never failed in his endeavors. His Dao heart had always been grounded, impossible to have any flaws. After entering the immortal realm, his transformed immortal heart and imperial will were as stable as a mountain. He never expected that what would ultimately lead to his failure would be his immortal heart and imperial will, causing him to be in a dire situation and almost perish in the Tribulation of Immortal Burial.

However, at the last moment, Qin Xuan suddenly realized that his greatest flaw was before he began cultivation, when he was still a mortal. That period, though brief, was like a grain of sand in the vast ocean of his ten thousand years, but it left the deepest regret, etched in his heart, unerasable even by ten thousand years.

Now, reborn in his youth, his body was empty, the immortal power that could crush mountains and rivers and make stars fall was no longer there. His immortal weapons, imperial artifacts, and divine abilities had all disappeared, but he instead showed a faint smile.

"Coming back is good!"

So much had happened in the past, even to the point of changing his name, as he felt he was unworthy of the name Qin Xuan, so he changed it to Chen Changqing. Now, returning to his youth, he would not let those regrets and sorrows happen again.

Outside the window, the clouds dissipated, and a beam of warm sunlight shone through the bright window, the golden light illuminating Qin Xuan's face...

After class, Qin Xuan was flipping through a book when he heard a gentle call from the doorway.

"Qin Xuan!"

A pleasant voice broke his reverie.

Looking up, Qin Xuan saw a girl with a beautiful face, wearing a pink short-sleeved top and a white skirt that reached her knees. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, her skin was fair, and she looked pure and adorable. Her sweet smile made everyone look at her, unable to look away. It was not hard to see that with her features, she would be a beauty admired by many young men in a few years.

Mu Xuer!

Qin Xuan's eyes were calm, recalling her identity. She was one of the school beauties at his high school, with outstanding looks, a good family background, and excellent academic performance. She had once ranked in the top ten in the city in the college entrance exam and attended a prestigious university, which was Qin Xuan's dream in his previous life, and he had pursued her for two years.

Now, Mu Xuer was his girlfriend!

To others, it might seem that Qin Xuan's sincerity had moved her. Only he knew that the so-called girlfriend was just a joke. She had only treated him as a toy for amusement, even publicly humiliating him at a birthday party, causing him to lose his spirit, lose interest in his studies, and only get into a third-rate university, disappointing his parents.

Qin Xuan stood up and walked to the door under the envious gazes of everyone, saying calmly, "What's up?"

Mu Xuer was taken aback. She had planned to endure Qin Xuan's embarrassing joy, but now she found that this Qin Xuan was acting completely out of character! This made Mu Xuer somewhat displeased, but she didn't mind and smiled, "It's my birthday party at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow. I hope you can come."

Qin Xuan didn't expose her true nature and responded calmly, "I know."

Mu Xuer frowned, staring at Qin Xuan's delicate face, trying to figure out what he was up to.

Playing hard to get?

Mu Xuer was somewhat disappointed and scoffed in her heart. For Qin Xuan, thinking of playing hard to get was already quite good.

"I'll be going then!" Mu Xuer waved with a smile, walking to the side of the corridor in a goddess-like manner. There was another girl there, looking somewhat arrogant and dissatisfied.

"Xuer, this guy is acting a bit strange, isn't he? I mean, how could you choose such a person as your boyfriend?" The girl beside Mu Xuer said disdainfully, "If you ask me, Wang Jiahao is much better."

The Wang Jiahao she mentioned was also a transfer student in the senior year of Mingde High School. It was said that his parents owned a fairly large company in the city, with assets worth millions. Moreover, Wang Jiahao was an only child, tall and handsome, making many girls admire him.

"Isn't choosing him perfect?" Mu Xuer covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "If I hadn't lost a bet with Xiao Wu, I wouldn't have a boyfriend. You know how strict my parents are. Do you think I'm like you, changing boyfriends as easily as changing clothes?"

"Pfft! Just a poor loser, lucky for him!" Zhao Xiaoyu glanced at Qin Xuan with a sneer, feeling that Mu Xuer didn't deserve it.

Qin Xuan, though he didn't hear their words, saw the disdain on Zhao Xiaoyu's face out of the corner of his eye. But he didn't care at all. How many top girls had wanted to be associated with him, even the first lady of the cultivation world and the empress of the immortal realm, whom he had personally suppressed. Even a random attendant in the Green Emperor's palace was far superior to Mu Xuer.

Mu Xuer's appearance was considered good by others, but for the Green Emperor, she didn't even have the qualifications to catch his eye.
