.......
In the world of destiny, countless races stand side by side.
Amidst the rolling mountains, the roars of various wild beasts, demonic beasts, and monsters echo intermittently.
In this perilous place, many humans reside.
They form various tribes, each governed by a powerful human cultivator.
"In that battle, spacetime shattered, and the fate of the heavens was thrown into chaos."
"I can't even sense the aura of an immortal."
On a stone platform atop a sheer cliff, Su Chen sighed softly.
He tried to summon the aura of an immortal, but ultimately gained nothing, as if nothing had ever existed.
"The world I inhabit now is devoid of laws, the Great Dao is incomplete, and the destiny of heaven and earth is finite; it is a broken spacetime."
"This world is teeming with myriad races, yet there is no trace of humanity. No peerless human powerhouse can mend the foundation of heaven and earth, and all human cultivators are weaker than other beings in this world."
Su Chen sorted through the memories in his mind.
In this life, he was born in the Si clan of the Desolate Ancient Mountains.
His name was Si Chen.
He was the Si clan's number one genius, having already broken through to the Void Realm at the young age of twenty.
He was a king among the younger generation.
Even within the Si clan, he could be considered a top-tier powerhouse.
After all, his adoptive father was only at the Void Realm.
"It seems my background in this life is not simple."
Su Chen circulated his true essence and discovered a restriction within his body.
This was the work of a certain Great Sage.
The Si clan had no Sages.
The only possibility was his missing mother.
"I never expected to get protagonist treatment like this!"
Su Chen's expression was strange. The minor Great Sage restriction was naturally no match for him.
Su Chen effortlessly broke the seal, and more information appeared in his mind.
His mother in this life was from the God Clan, a goddess of a powerful tribe.
She left her family without permission, fell in love with his father in this life, and gave birth to him.
However, their happiness was short-lived. Their family intervened, forcing her to leave, leaving behind only information about the God Clan and a cultivation technique called the Yinluo Heavenly Scripture.
"It's actually an Immortal Emperor-level cultivation technique! Looks like this is my protagonist's cheat code!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen's eyes, then, as if seeing something, he chuckled lightly: "You actually schemed against me? I wonder if you're lucky or unlucky?"
He only added 10,000 points to his family background, and yet an Immortal Emperor Scripture appeared—definitely abnormal.
Perhaps the person behind it was unintentional, but this cultivation technique, falling before Su Chen, naturally couldn't escape the notice of this former giant of the immortal path.
The person behind the creation of the Yinluo Emperor Scripture was indeed astonishingly brilliant, attempting to forge a new path in this shattered spacetime, using it to attain the True Immortal realm of the Dao of Cause and Effect.
Although incredibly difficult, which path to becoming a True Immortal isn't challenging? In this shattered spacetime, the True Immortal realm of the Dao of Cause and Effect actually offers the best hope.
This is why Su Chen praised it so highly.
"However, it's ultimately petty, only offering an Immortal-level cultivation technique."
Su Chen shook his head. He had grasped the entirety of it with a single glance, but he had no intention of cultivating the Yinluo Emperor Scripture. How could a True Immortal giant like himself cultivate an immortal-level technique?
A seven-colored halo appeared behind Su Chen's head. The sun and moon changed, and three years passed unnoticed.
Transparent threads appeared around Su Chen's body, coalescing into a single point before being absorbed into the halo behind his head.
Then he slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy appearing within them.
The vitality of heaven and earth rose and fell in his hands.
"Seizing the creation of heaven and earth, stealing the karma of countless lifetimes, and condensing it within myself."
"Then I shall name it the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique."
This was a technique he had modified from the Yinluo Emperor Scripture, more suitable for him.
Su Chen slowly rose. A vast mountain range was shrouded in dark clouds.
This was the Tribulation of Ascension to Sainthood. In the past three years, Su Chen hadn't deliberately cultivated, yet his realm was simply too high. Even without deliberate cultivation, he was more talented than any other genius.
The fluctuations of the Tribulation of Ascension to Sainthood also attracted the attention of the great demons of the Ancient Desolate Mountains and the powerful figures of various tribes.
"This aura is... the Tribulation of Ascension to Sainthood?"
"Which demon lord has broken through to Sainthood this time?"
"The Ancient Desolate Mountains only have three Great Saints. Could a fourth Great Saint be about to appear?"
"What? The tribulation lightning hadn't even struck yet, why did it suddenly dissipate?"
"Did that lord succeed in breaking through, or failed?"
"......"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Such a terrifying commotion was indeed the Tribulation of Ascension to Sainthood.
Whether one succeeds or fails in breaking through to Sainthood, the Tribulation of Ascension to Sainthood will strike.
But this time, the Tribulation of Ascension to Sainthood didn't strike; it simply dissipated.
This was unheard of.
In the end, both humans and demons unanimously concluded that he must have failed in his breakthrough!
Su Chen had already left the mountain peak.
His cultivation had broken through to the Saint Realm.
Not just any Saint Realm, but directly to the Saint King Realm.
Did the Heavenly Dao consciousness of a mere small world dare to punish him, a former giant?
If that lightning truly struck, Su Chen felt he would be laughed to death by the other True Immortals.
Su Chen flashed back to the Si Clan's territory. He concealed his aura, and no one noticed him.
"Ten days until the Tribal Grand Competition!"
"I must break through to the Profound Realm. Only by breaking through to the Profound Realm can I see Xiao Qing."
"Xiao Qing is the pride of the Feng Clan. I must become the pride of the Si Clan to be worthy of her!"
As Su Chen reached the back mountain, a resolute-looking young man appeared in his sight.
"Interesting, he's actually someone blessed with destiny."
"The small Si clan is truly full of hidden talents."
Su Chen observed the resolute-looking young man from the Si clan with great interest.
"And... Si Chen!"
"I will definitely defeat him sooner or later! Only by defeating him can I wash away my father's shame and break his inner demons."
"As long as I work hard, there is nothing in this world that I cannot overcome!"
The young man's tone was firm.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's interest grew even stronger, and he casually flipped through the records about the young man.
The young man's name was Si Tianming, and he was a disciple of an elder of the Si clan.
Ten years ago, Si Tianming's father, a renowned genius of the Si clan, sought the right to be chosen as the clan's heir.
However, he was easily defeated by ten-year-old Su Chen, his Dao heart shattered, and he now spends his days drinking heavily.
Even his beloved wife died because of him.
Si Tianming blames everything on Su Chen.
After understanding everything, Su Chen was speechless, then smiled slightly: "Since you want to defeat me, I can give you a chance!"
"My new cultivation technique needs a guinea pig."
"If you can control yourself, it will be a tremendous stroke of luck; if you cannot... then all of this will..."
Su Chen's face showed anticipation, and he casually pointed, sending a stream of light into Si Tianming's mind.
Si Tianming didn't notice anyone's presence.
However, some memories appeared in his mind.
That was... the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique!
