Second Chance

Under the shining moonlight and the starry night sky.

An extremely beautiful woman was standing at the edge of a pier, overlooking the sight of a modern mega-city across the river.

She was a tall, fair-skinned and voluptuous woman with enormous breasts, ample thighs, and a plentiful butt. She has long, wavy light-purple hair that looked both silky and smooth. Her violet-colored eyes were exquisite and enchanting, combined with her sharp albeit elegant brows, one look from her can instantly drive tons of men or even women both crazy and smitten.

Her body was garbed in a pristine black dress which accentuated her alluring figure, making her already unparalleled sex-appeal to be even more outrageous. Especially, when the v-neck area where her glorious cleavage was shown feels so tempting and full of charms.

She appears like a goddess and a she-devil at the same time, who radiates an ethereal but mysterious kind of aura.

As her gaze focused toward the city, she could see that even at night, the city was still full of vitality as the vibrant sound of people's activities could be heard from afar.

And then, she closed her eyes and her mind began to wander...

It has been 22 years since she was reincarnated after dying due to the heavenly tribulation. Somehow, her soul had traveled across dimensions and into another world before being reborn as a newborn.

But unlucky for her, she was reborn as a female, when the fact that in her previous life, she was actually a male.

Since then, she occasionally wondering about the reason why she was reincarnated and how did that happen. But even now, the answer was still a mystery.

Furthermore, even though at the beginning she was really uncomfortable with her feminine body, after living her new life and getting used to it, she had no choice but to accept her fate as a woman, instead of, a man now. To the point that she always referred to herself as "she" rather than "he" and acted as well as dressing up like a proper woman supposed to.

The woman has taken a new name, given by her parents in this new life — Helena Carter, a 22 years old human.

The world Helena was reincarnated to right now was called Planet Gaia.

This planet only has one continent, known as Europa, while dozens of archipelagos and a large collection of islands with various sizes dotted the vast ocean called the Amaranth Ocean. The size of the Amaranth was even bigger than both of the Pacific and the Atlantic combined.

On the surface, Gaia was similar to Earth's 21st century. But there were a few differences between the two; this world was where cultivators reigned supreme and where the society revolved around martial cultivation.

Back on Earth, cultivators' society was completely hidden from the eyes of ordinary people and only existed in the form of rumors, hearsays, or legends. But in Gaia, almost everything was related to cultivation.

In fact, it was hard for ordinary people without cultivation to thrive in Gaia's society. Governments, militaries, private entities, civil organizations, or even the simplest profession needs to be run by cultivators. Thus, people without cultivation or who unable to cultivate can only grovel in the mud, and they won't be able to achieve anything significant within their lifetime.

Gaia's martial society emerged fairly recently, around 150 years ago. Before that, cultivation was completely unknown to the planet's inhabitants. It begins after the discovery of a ruin, situated in the middle region of Europa, that housed a series of magical teleportation devices, which connected Gaia with the so-called Heavenly Tower.

Heavenly Tower was an unusual place, located inside a special plane that wasn't attached to Gaia. It was said that Heavenly Tower has 10 layers in total and each layer has the size that was larger than the whole Gaia.

The ruin that housed the teleportation devices was currently called the Heaven's Gate.

The portals connected Heaven's Gate with Heavenly Tower's 1st layer. Inside this layer lies a complete, massive landmass that was filled with myriads of wonderous stuff.

Cultivating inside the Heavenly Tower was extremely beneficial to cultivators compared to the outside. There, the concentration of Martial Essence, which was the energy needed by cultivators to strengthened their body, was significantly richer than anywhere else.

That's why many Gaia's cultivators wanted to enter the Tower as it was faster to raise their cultivations there. Besides, the Tower also housed many natural treasures that were beneficial to cultivation.

However, Heavenly Tower's 1st layer was also a very dangerous place. Humans and alien races from other worlds were also gathered there to compete with each other, and few of them were quite hostile to the people from Gaia. Not to mention, the layer was also full of ferocious demon beasts that were roaming around and will attack anyone aggressively.

Cultivators must have the minimum requirement of strength in order to climb the higher layers. Ever since the beginning of the martial era, there was only one cultivator from Gaia who can climb to the 2nd layer of Heavenly Tower. And this expert was the most celebrated hero throughout this planet.

Even though she had failed to overcome the heavenly tribulation in her previous life, Helena still possessed a strong desire to see and ascend to the Divine Realm that she always longed for.

She had decided not to waste this second chance that she has been given after reincarnating.

She must achieve her dream of entering the legendary Divine Realm at all costs!

Moreover, she had a premonition that the Heavenly Tower was the ultimate key to achieve it.

As Helena opened her eyes, her gaze was shone with greater determination. She clenched her fists and swore to the heaven that she will succeded.

At this moment, someone approached her from behind.

It was a man with ferocious and soldierly bearing who dressed in a complete black attire. If people on the streets saw this man, they will definitely try to avoid him due to the threatening aura he exudes and the cold look on his face.

But this cold man bowed his head slightly with a respectful expression toward Helena, and he spoke, "Master, everything is ready."

Helena glanced at the cold man and lightly nodded, "Alright, let's go then."

Next, the cold man accompanied Helena as both of them made their way to a nearby place where three expensive-looking SUV cars were parked.

There, several women and men in black attires were waiting for them.

Soon, the three SUVs drove in a hurry and heading straight to an unknown destination.
