Chapter 313: Battle Court, Emperor Tianlong |
【You’ve consumed ten million years of lifespan to initiate a cycle of Reincarnation Evolution】
【Connecting to the Dao Rules】
【Searching for a Reincarnation World】
【The following worlds are available—choose one:】
【1. Grand Hong Realm】
【2. Dark Great Realm】
【3. Divine Essence Great Realm】
Huh?
Gu An looked at the prompt in front of him and instantly got pissed.
Black Profound Emperor, just you wait. Our blood feud across two lifetimes won’t be forgiven!
Gu An snorted to himself and chose the Divine Essence Great Realm.
He always felt that the “Great Realms” sounded more high-tier. Those other “Realms” like where Lu Lingjun and the Blood Prison Great Saint came from felt more like lower worlds.
As he was thinking, a new series of prompts appeared before his eyes:
【You have chosen to reincarnate into the Divine Essence Great Realm】
【Due to the overwhelming Dao Rules of this realm, you are temporarily unable to use your Lifespan Seizure ability, and cannot unlock phase-based functions】
【Reincarnation Evolution begins】
【Year 1: You are born into the Dragon Clan of Shenzhou. Your parents name you Long Zhan】
【Age 3: You awaken the Dragon Clan’s true-blood inheritance and, with the help of your kin, temper your body into the True Dragon Blood Physique】
【Age 8: Your family arranges a cultivation mentor for you. You officially step onto the path of cultivation】
【Age 9: Your father brings you to court to meet the Divine Empire’s Emperor. The Emperor wishes to marry his seventh princess to you. Your father lets you decide. Do you accept?】
The prompt paused here.
Gu An had just been wondering—Wait, I became a dragon? He preferred being human.
But with the Divine Empire showing up, he realized “Dragon” was just a surname.
After a moment’s hesitation, Gu An chose to accept. This life, he was going to play it safe.
【You accepted the Divine Emperor’s arrangement. You will marry the seventh princess, Han Jiaor, at age sixteen. The Emperor is overjoyed and rewards you handsomely, announcing the engagement to the world】
【Age 13: You go on a training journey with your clan members. You tear apart a fourth-rank Demon King with your bare hands, shocking everyone】
【Age 16: You and Han Jiaor are formally married. You become the Divine Empire’s imperial son-in-law. The Emperor grants you the title "Divine Might Lord", shares the Divine Empire’s fortune with you, and your name spreads across the realm as a top-tier genius】
【Age 18: You decide to travel the world to become stronger. You part from Han Jiaor despite her reluctance. That same year, she gives birth to your son, Long Xin】
【Age 20: You reach the borders of Shenzhou and slay a rampaging demon dragon attacking a city. You accidentally discover you can absorb dragon blood, greatly enhancing your physical strength】
【Age 21: You meet an old Daoist who offers to read your fortune. Do you accept?】
Another pause.
That meant this old Daoist wasn’t ordinary.
Gu An hesitated again—then chose to accept.
【You agree to let the old Daoist read your fortune. He examines your bones and begins divination. Soon, he’s shocked and declares that you have an Innate Imperial Fate—destined to rule all creation and become the Lord of Heaven and Earth. Immediately after, he explodes from the inside, his blood splashing all over you】
【Age 25: You accidentally enter an ancient grand cultivator’s cave dwelling and learn an ancient ultimate technique—“Divine Desolation Art”】
Gu An’s mouth twitched when he saw the part about the old man exploding.
From that point on, he tried to pick the safest options for every choice.
Year after year.
Gu An was constantly on edge, afraid he'd die prematurely.
But by the time he hit 200 years old, he finally cracked a smile. New record.
Still, this Dragon Zhan didn’t have Lifespan Seizure ability, and his cultivation speed definitely didn’t compare to Chu Lu or Xiao Shengtian. And there was no display of cultivation stages in the prompts.
One step at a time.
Gu An became even more cautious. This time, he was determined to stay alive.
Time ticked by slowly. Ye Lan was sitting on the bed in meditation, comprehending the Dao, while Gu An sat at the table. The room was completely quiet.
Outside, birds chirped now and then, adding a peaceful, tranquil vibe.
Half an hour later—
Gu An exhaled deeply, his expression turning serious, caught in a dilemma.
【At age 187,632, you encounter the Dragon Clan’s Ancestor. He says he can help fully awaken your bloodline, fusing it with your fortune to form an unprecedented physique. Do you accept his help?】
By now, Gu An had already earned the title War God of Shenzhou, and was roaming the universe when he met the old ancestor.
But he had a bad feeling about this.
He’d come so far—no way he was dying now.
If this ancestor had good intentions, he wouldn’t blame a descendant for refusing. But if he was malicious, trusting him would be a disaster.
Decline.
【You refused the Dragon Clan Ancestor’s offer. The Ancestor became enraged and attacked, attempting to suppress you. After a brutal battle, you escaped with serious injuries】
【Age 187,633: You encounter the Celestial Spirit, Fairy Ziyuan. She saves you, and your wounds fully heal】
From then on, the adventures continued.
Fairy Ziyuan began traveling with him, and Gu An no longer felt alone.
As for his wife Han Jiaor, he had gone to say goodbye to her at age 100,000. She had already passed away by then. That farewell was what made him leave behind his children and descendants, and venture alone into the universe.
Gu An’s choices gradually became more relaxed as Dragon Zhan grew stronger and always managed to survive.
Another half hour passed.
【At age 350,896, you unify a minor universe and establish the War Court. You marry Fairy Ziyuan and proclaim yourself the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, naming Ziyuan as Empress of Heaven】
Now that’s style!
Gu An suddenly felt a rush of pride—like he’d just unlocked a legendary achievement in a game.
He could definitely keep going!
He rubbed his hands together excitedly and read on.
One ten-thousand-year milestone passed after another.
Tens of thousands more years.
【At age 360,000, you break through your shackles and reach the Dao-Void Celestial Immortal Realm, shocking the entire universe. Your fate is restored. Would you like to activate the Lifespan Seizure ability?】
Here it comes!
It’s here!
Gu An didn’t hesitate and picked Seize!
【You activated the Lifespan Seizure ability. You sacrificed the beings of an entire world, skyrocketing your lifespan】
Sacrificed...?
Gu An’s expression changed.
That guy... is a f*ing psycho!**
【At age 361,000, you ascend past the Nine Tribulations of the Immortal Dao and achieve communion with gods. At that moment, a terrifying hand reaches through the River of Time and crushes you to death】
【You were slain by the Extinction God Emperor】
【Reincarnation Ends】
What the hell?!
That was it?!
He didn’t even get a chance to make another choice after activating the Lifespan Seizure!
Gu An instantly vanished from the room and appeared on an offshore island. He activated his Lifespan Barrier, sat down cross-legged, and stared at the final few lines of the prompt, his jaw clenched tight.
Fine. Great.
Extinction God Emperor—
You’re going on the hit list.
And then, a massive torrent of memories surged into his mind—
It was the entire life of Dragon Zhan, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor!
Once he fully absorbed the memories, Gu An finally understood just how terrifying Dragon Zhan’s talent was. He had been exceptional from birth, a once-in-a-million-year prodigy with sky-high expectations from his clan.
His love story with Han Jiaor deeply moved Gu An.
And once Dragon Zhan began his cosmic journey, his life turned into an epic saga, filled with blood, fire, passion, and triumph.
Gu An also saw Fairy Ziyuan in the memories—stunning beyond compare, radiating a beauty no other woman could match.
