Chen Tian?
Same surname, Chen?
How could such a coincidence happen?
"You said this Chen Tian is strong?" Chen Chang'an asked.
Strong?
"Strong to the point of being terrifying."
"A million years ago, the entire Ancient Immortal Realm was filled with legends about him."
"He alone dazzled an era and dominated an age."
"Would you call that strong?" Wan Qing said with a smile.
That strong?
Chen Chang'an hadn't expected this Chen Tian to be so overwhelmingly powerful—had one man truly ruled the entire Ancient Immortal Realm?
"Back then, I only spent a year by his side, and it was enough to achieve what I have today."
"It's just a pity I never got the chance to stay with him longer."
"He showed me great kindness, but alas, there hasn’t been any news of him in the Ancient Immortal Realm for a long time."
"Who would’ve thought you, Senior, would choose to reincarnate and cultivate anew? Truly admirable," Wan Qing said excitedly.
"Wait!"
"You’ve mistaken me for someone else."
"Absolutely mistaken."
"If this Chen Tian already ruled the Ancient Immortal Realm, do you really think he’d need to reincarnate and start over?"
"A prodigy like him would have countless options—why choose reincarnation?"
Though Chen Tian was undoubtedly powerful and monstrously talented, Chen Chang'an refused to believe he was his reincarnation.
Even if Chen Chang'an reached the pinnacle of the Ancient Immortal Realm, he might choose a quiet, reclusive life—but never reincarnation.
Who would willingly throw away a lifetime of hard-earned cultivation unless they were at death’s door or irreparably wounded?
"I wouldn’t dare presume to understand Senior’s choices."
"Perhaps your memories haven’t returned yet, so you don’t realize."
Wan Qing was convinced Chen Chang'an was Chen Tian’s reincarnation, leaving Chen Chang'an at a loss.
"Hey, what if this guy is your actual dad?" Da Huang asked curiously.
Chen Chang'an shot Da Huang a weary look. Chen Tian had already been dominating the Ancient Immortal Realm a million years ago.
Back then, it was uncertain whether the Tai Xuan World even existed, and the Chen family’s history wasn’t that ancient.
Though Chen Chang'an had been taken away by Mu Yunyao as a child, he had met his parents before that, at age six.
How could he possibly be Chen Tian?
Besides, in the Chen family, he wasn’t just his father’s son—his grandfather had been around too. There was no way this Chen Tian could be connected.
Would someone like that even descend to a lower realm just to claim a random father?
If his father had been that formidable, would he have been taken away? Would the Chen family have fallen into decline? Ridiculous.
"You believe I’m Chen Tian—aside from aura and sword intent, is there anything else similar?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Well..."
"I didn’t spend much time by Senior’s side, so I don’t know many details."
"But your aura and sword intent are identical to his."
"Even after all these years, I could never mistake it," Wan Qing insisted.
Sigh.
Chen Chang'an could tell from Wan Qing’s gaze—she was utterly convinced.
For a fleeting moment, he even doubted himself. Was he really Chen Tian’s reincarnation?
But reason told him: No.
"I, Chen Chang'an, have always acted with integrity. I would never deceive anyone."
"If I say I’m not, I truly believe I’m not."
"But since you’re so insistent… maybe there’s some merit to consider."
"Hmm… maybe I really am."
His sudden shift left Wan Qing stunned. A moment ago, he’d vehemently denied it—now he was entertaining the idea?
Not that it mattered. In her heart, she had already accepted it as truth.
"Why the sudden change of heart?" Da Huang whispered via telepathy.
"Opportunities shouldn’t be wasted."
"I never claimed to be him—she’s the one insisting."
"We’re new to the Ancient Immortal Realm. More allies mean smoother paths, especially one who sees me as her benefactor."
"No downsides here," Chen Chang'an replied with a sly grin.
"Damn, you’re still the king of shamelessness."
"But… hehe, those ladies are gorgeous."
Lost in thought, Da Huang unconsciously started trotting toward the Huan Hua Immortal Sect.
"Da Huang, what are you doing?" Chen Chang'an asked, exasperated.
"Huh? Going home."
"If you’re the Sect Master’s benefactor, doesn’t that make the Huan Hua Immortal Sect our home?" Da Huang chuckled.
"Right, right."
"Senior, the Huan Hua Immortal Sect will always be your home."
"If you wish, the position of Sect Master is… actually, never mind. Someone of your stature shouldn’t lower yourself to lead our humble sect."
"My apologies for overstepping," Wan Qing said respectfully.
Her reverence made Chen Chang'an realize how terrifying unwavering conviction could be.
Once someone believed something, even if it might be false, they’d cling to it without question.
"We’ve only just arrived in the Ancient Immortal Realm and know little about this place."
"I could use your guidance," Chen Chang'an said lightly.
"In that case, Senior—would you accompany me back to the sect and settle in for now?" Wan Qing asked nervously.
"Hmm, I suppose that’s fine."
"But I’ve always preferred to keep a low profile. No need for 'Senior'—I’m only at the first level of the Emperor Realm. People might laugh if they hear it."
"Humph! If anyone dares mock you, I, Wan Qing, will be the first to object."
"But since it’s your wish, I’ll comply."
"Then… Young Master Chen?" she ventured.
"Acceptable."
"Good."
"Young Master Chen, please follow me."
And so, Chen Chang'an and Da Huang trailed after Wan Qing, returning to the Huan Hua Immortal Sect—but this time, their status and treatment had undergone a complete transformation.
"Huh?"
"Pervert!"
"Disgraceful scum!"
"Thank goodness the Sect Master intervened, or this lecher would’ve escaped!"
As the saying goes, enemies glare at each other with fiery eyes. Chen Chang'an’s reappearance ignited fury among the female disciples of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect. If not for the Sect Master’s presence, they would’ve lunged at him with fists and feet.
"Outrageous!"
"Mind your manners!"
"This is an honored guest of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect."
"Apologize at once!" Wan Qing commanded sternly.
Honored guest?
Apologize?
To this pervert?
"Master, this man—"
"What happened earlier was just a misunderstanding. Do you truly think Young Master Chen is that kind of person?"
"Apologize!"
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Sect Master."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
