1 End of the 2nd life and start of the 3rd!

Whoosh...Whoosh...Whoosh

Dozens of fast and shadowy figures were jumping from tree to tree.

The shadow in the very front mumbled: "Damn! It seems I can't get away from them so easily."

The shadows behind him: "You won't be able to run for long!"

"Hand over the clan's 3 Great Godly Treasures!"

"That's right we'll give you a swift death once you do!"

"You guys shut up and focus on getting that bastard!"

Mentioning the 3 great godly treasures the shadow at the front couldn't help but take a quick glance at the sword on his waist. The shadow's name was Jian Ziran he was originally someone who lived in the modern day world. At the young age of fifteen he was diagnosed with a mysterious unknown illness that no doctor on earth could cure.

As a result he had to start living in a hospital room from that point on. As the days and months went by he was slowly consumed by sorrow and depression. The only thing that still kept joy in his life was the entertaining videos he would watch from time to time in his hospital room.

The one's that he truly loved watching were the ones that featured powerful martial artists or large futuristic spaceships. He loved watching martial artist cause he wanted to become strong and healthy like them so that he wouldn't get sick and weak ever again. As for watching spaceships he had always dreamt of becoming an astronaut.

Days started to become weeks, weeks started to become months and finally months started to become years. Then.... it finally happened. Ten years after he was admitted into the hospital his body could no longer hold on and he finally died on that very hospital bed. Thankfully the heavens were not unkind to him for he was reincarnated soon after his death.

Having no intention to waste the second chance the gods bestowed him Ziran immediately pursued his goal of becoming strong and healthy and it just so happens that the strongest people in this new world he was reincarnated in was non-other than..... Ninja.

Decades passed and Ziran had indeed successfully become a Ninja. Although he wasn't an outstanding Ninja he was still much stronger and healthier compared to a normal person. So even though he wasn't considered anything special he was still quite satisfied with what he achieved. You could say that Ziran was already quite satisfied with his current life. That is until 'THAT' occurred.

Several days after gaining the qualifications to become a Senior Shinobi Ziran was taken to their clan's Ancient Ancestral Hall to swore devotion to the clan's elders.

That's when it happened.

The Ninja Clan's 3 Great Godly treasures suddenly lit up like Christmas trees. The clan elders were completely dumbfounded by what was happening in front of them that before they could even react the 3 treasures had already floated towards Ziran showering him with golden light.

The elders were well aware of what was going on and shocked by it. The 3 Great Godly treasures of their clan had actually recognized someone who was neither a descendant of their clan's head nor an offspring of one of the main elders as their new Lord. Must know that there was a legend in their clan that states that whoever becomes the new lord of the 3 great godly treasures will be showered by golden light and gain a grand destiny.

The 3 Great Godly Treasures were known respectively as the Ninja God's Sword, Ninja God's Eye and Ninja God's Scroll. The clan elders were very unsatisfied with Ziran being recognized as the new lord of all 3 treasures so much so that they immediately branded him as a 'traitor' and 'criminal' that stole their clan's 3 treasures instead of being recognized as their new lord.

The elders goals were simple. To kill Ziran and reclaim their 3 treasures. Unfortunately for them though Ziran didn't make it simple for them at all for four straight days Ziran has been fleeing the Ninja clan's constant pursuit.

Jian Ziran: "Ugh.... I'm almost out of Nin Energy. I wont be able to run from them for much longer. I need to think of something quick! Damn it why did these stupid treasures have to choose me of all people. My life was going great before I became their new lord."

Suddenly..... "KATON - Blazing Blade!"

Hearing the shout Ziran reacted quickly and used all his strength to perform a backwards somersault.

Whoosh.....

The trees in front of him were all suddenly cut apart and burned by a massive fire blade.

Ziran(cold sweat): "An elder!"

Amidst the burning trees an old man wearing a white ninja suit appeared.

White Elder coldly said: "I can tell that your almost out of Nin Energy. Don't make things more difficult for yourself. Surrender so we can give you a swift death."

Suddenly....

Whoosh...Whoosh...Whoosh

3 more white elders appeared and surrounded Ziran. They wanted to make sure that he no longer had a chance to escape.

Ziran showed a forced smile: "So your basically asking me to give up my life all because the 3 treasures chose me as their lord instead of your descendants? If so then you idiots must really be going senile."

Hearing his words the white elder was angered: "Such audacity! How dare you talk to an elder of the almighty Heavenly Ninja Clan like that!"

The other elders were similarly angered and were preparing to launch a combined attack on him. Seeing this Ziran smiled and made a hand sign: "Ninja Art - Silver Star Teleport!"

With a flash of silver light Ziran disappeared from where he was standing leaving a group of white elders surprised.

The White Elder's face turned solemn: "He angered us intentionally so that we would neglect sensing his Nin Energy flow. But to think he still had that teleportation star I thought he had already used it several days ago."

Another White Elder sighed: "If only the 3 treasures didn't choose him he would've made an excellent subordinate."

"Hah...Hah...Hah...Hah" several kilometers away Ziran was kneeling on the ground panting from exhaustion: "Ugh! I've used up all of my Nin Energy I can barely stand."

Ziran then turned his head to the cliff in front of him. Clenching his fists and remembering how he died in his first life he muttered: "If I'm gonna die I'm gonna die on my own terms. Never again will I experience an unwilling death!"

Boom...Bang...Crash

Ziran's expression changed as he heard sounds coming from the distant forest behind him: "Their this close already?! Damn!"

Shifting his gaze back onto the cliff he took the sword on his waist as well as a small black box and golden scroll from his pockets and threw them off the cliff.

Shiiing...

The three items were instantly wrapped in gold light then disappeared.

A second later....

Shiiing....

The three items appeared by Ziran's side seemingly not wanting to leave him.

Ziran showed a forced smile: "To think that the story about the 3 treasures never leaving their Lord's side was really true."

Ziran knew that he could no longer escape death so he planned that he could at least make them suffer a loss. But now knowing that the treasures weren't willing to leave his side he had to change his plans quickly.

Boom...Bang...Crash

The sounds from behind continued.

Ziran's eyes turned sharp as he had decided on his next course of action. Dragging his weakened and exhausted body to the cliff he slowly muttered: "No matter what I'm making you guys regret ever doing this to me. I'm taking your 3 Great Godly Treasures to the grave together with my corpse!"

Traversing through the dense forest one of the white elders finally saw Ziran in his sights from afar and shouted: "He's here!"

Hearing the white elder's shout Ziran slowly turned around and smirked before jumping off of the cliff's edge.

Seeing this the White Elder panicked: "Crap! Someone stop him!"

The ocean was just below that cliff and it was the season when large wild waves would arise. If Ziran jump's down and dies then the chances of the 3 treasures being washed out to sea would be very high.

In truth Ziran had planned this situation from the start. If the 3 treasures truly couldn't be separated from him then he planned on making them be lost to sea along with his body. Which is why he planted the Silver Star on a rock beside the cliff so when a situation where he could no longer escape arises he would immediately teleport to the cliff and jump. That way even in his death the Heavenly Ninja Clan would definitely suffer a loss from losing their 3 Great Godly Treasures.

Splash!.....

"Crap! He jumped!"

"Damn it we couldn't stop him!"

"What are you all still doing here?! Hurry up go down and find him!"

As the strong waves fiercely tossed his body back and forth Ziran slowly felt his consciousness leaving him. Eventually he started to sink deeper and deeper into the bottom of the sea as his consciousness completely turned dark.

Then.... There was light!

Douluo Planet...

Ziran: "Eh? Aren't I... dead?"

Then Ziran heard a voice: "My dear child. My beautiful beautiful boy."

Ziran thought: "Eh? Who's talking? Wait.... Why can't I talk?... Don't tell me!"

Inside a small wooden cabin a beautiful woman with long black hair was holding a newly born infant.

Ziran shocked: "ABUBU?! (I'VE BEEN REINCARNATED AGAIN?!)"

Looking at the infant in her arms the black haired woman couldn't resist shedding tears of joy.

Ziran thought: "I guess this is my Mother in this life.... She's quite beautiful. That means I'm probably gonna turn out handsome as well."

With a flash of black light the black haired woman conjured numerous black tree roots that joined together to slowly form a black baby cradle.

Seeing this Ziran's little mouth hung open as he thought: "Is that Ninjutsu? No I didn't sense any Nin Energy. Could it be something different?"

The black haired woman then slowly laid Ziran into the cradle as she said: "My dear beautiful boy please stay here for awhile. Mother must speak to your aunt for a bit."

At that moment a blonde haired blue eyed woman suddenly excitedly entered the room: "Sister-in-law is my little nephew finally born?"

The black haired woman smiled as she pointed towards the cradle: "Yup he's right over there."

Seeing the adorable little Ziran blonde haired woman couldn't contain her joy and immediately carried him in her arms: "OOOOOOOH! My beautiful little nephew you are so adorable!!!"

Ziran thought: "Ugh! I can already tell this new aunt of mine is gonna be a pain."

The blonde haired then turned to Ziran's mother and asked: "By the way Sister-in-Law have you thought of a name for him yet?"

The black haired woman showed a sad smile: "I promised your elder brother that we would name him Jian Ziran."

The blonde haired woman frowned: "I wonder where that elder brother of mine went to? To not even be here to witness the birth of his own child. Hmph!"

Hearing this Ziran thought: "So it seems that my Dad isn't around huh. Anyway it seems I'm once again named Jian Ziran for the third time. Perhaps this isn't just a coincidence."

Boom!

"Hahaha We've finally found the place!"

Hearing this both the black and blonde haired women's eyes turned sharp.

Ziran's Aunt: "It seems we have some uninvited guests."

After that Ziran's Aunt immediately rushed out the cabin preparing to meet the enemy.

Ziran's Mother carried Ziran over towards the window and together they watched the scene that was transpiring outside.

Seeing what was happening outside Ziran was completely flabbergasted. There were dozens of people outside the cabin and every single one of them looked quite powerful. Some of them had physical features similar to beasts while others had large glowing weapons giving off great destructive auras. What's more every single one of them were surrounded by what looked like rings made of light. The most eye catching one was definitely the black caped floating man at the front that seemed to be the group's leader. As a Ninja in his previous life Ziran had developed a strong sense for danger and right now his instincts were telling him that this floating man was more dangerous than anything he's ever encountered before.

Ziran thought: "Great! And just when I thought I was finally safe after dying."

Outside the cabin.....

Blonde Haired Woman: "Who dares disturb me and my family!"

"Whose this chic?"

"I don't know but she's quite a beauty."

"Leader could you give this woman to us? We will definitely take good care of her."

The floating man: "Hmph! Do as you will I only came here for the head Linghua."

Suddenly after saying that 9 rings of light started to appear around the floating man. Their colors were (1 Yellow, 2 Purple, 5 Black and 1 Red)

The moment the red colored ring appeared Ziran felt like he was suffocating. The pressure given off by that red ring was just to overbearing. Seeing that her child was slightly shuddering Ziran's Mother gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead and with a flash of black light the pressure that Ziran was feeling immediately vanished. Ziran was shocked by this. To think his mother was able to make such overbearing pressure vanish from just a kiss.

Ziran thought: "My new Mother is definitely not simple either. Come to think of it these people might be here for her."

"A Hundred Thousand Years Spirit Ring! Hahaha our leader unexpectedly had a hundred thousand years spirit ring!"

"Of course you idiot don't you know who our leader is? He is none other than the famed Savage Vampire Douluo."

"A Titled Douluo?! Damn! And here I thought he was only a Spirit Sage. When we get back I'm definitely buying him a drink. Then I can brag to my friends back home that I went drinking with a Titled Douluo HAHAHA."

Savage Vampire Douluo stared at the blonde haired woman and sneered: "Little girl you best tell me where Linghua is otherwise you might suffer a fate worse than death!"

The Blonde Haired Woman smiled: "With just you?"

Suddenly below her 9 rings of light started to appear as well. Their colors were (2 Purple, 4 Black and 3 Red). Besides this a silver sword with wings of light on it's guard also appeared in her hand.

Seeing the 9 rings around her the enemies were shocked. As for Savage Vampire Douluo his eyes were fixated on the sword in her hand. His expression turned from shock to fear as he shouted: "That Sword! Y...You! You are Sword Saintess Douluo! W...Wait can't we talk this out? We cou..."

Sword Saintess Douluo coldly cut him off: "There's nothing to talk about."

The sword in her hands were suddenly surrounded by silver lightning and with a flash of silver light she disappeared.

Seeing their enemy vanish right in front of them the group immediately panicked.

"Damn where did she go?!"

"Damn it! I never thought that chic was also a Titled Douluo."

"Stop talking and find her quick!"

It was at this time..... "AHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"That was the Leader!"

"Leader what happened?"

"Leader how are you?"

As they turned their heads towards Savage Vampire Douluo all they saw was a flash of silver lightning and the next thing they saw was their Leader's body being split in half. The group was completely stunned. Everything had happened too fast that the group had absolutely no time to comprehend and react to what just occurred. After a moment one of them finally woke up from their trance and shouted: "RUN!"

Terrified by the power and speed displayed by Sword Saintess Douluo the group did not hesitate to turn tail and run for their lives.

Seeing this Sword Saintess Douluo coldly said: "Since you all came why not stay? I promise I will reunite you all with your leader soon."

Suddenly a skyscraper sized sword was hovering above the group as if ready to descend down on them at any moment.

Sword Saintess Douluo thrusted her sword forward as if signalling the hovering sword to descend: "[Self Created Spirit Skill - Saintess Fury Slayer Sword]"

BOOM!!!.....

When the smoke cleared not a single person from the group could be seen. Clearly they had all been vaporized by Sword Saintess Douluo's last attack. She gave a "Hmph!" then turned around and walked back towards the small cabin. Linghua then came out of the cabin with Ziran in her arms to meet her.

Seeing everything that just transpired Ziran thought: "Gulp..... Sure enough.... My Aunt is also not simple."

Sword Saintess Douluo frowned: "Sister-in-Law what are we to do? It seems these people have some way of tracking you."

Linghua turned her head towards Ziran and sighed then turned towards Sword Saintess Douluo and said: "Qingrou I need a favor."

Jian Qingrou as if knowing what her Sister-in-Law was about to ask replied: "You want me to take Little Ziran away with me?"

Linghua sighed: "Since they have a way of tracking me I will have to constantly flee from their pursuits. And since that is the case Ziran will never have a normal life if he stays with me."

Jian Qingrou: "But!..."

Linghua raised her hand and shook her head: "No buts! I know you want to help me but as it currently stands not only you but your family might also end up being in danger."

She then handed Ziran over to Qingrou, kissed his little forehead and said with tears overflowing her eyes: "Goodbye my beautiful boy I wish you a bright and happy life. Know that mother will always be thinking of you. I love you my Son."

She was then covered by black light and shot towards sky like a rocket. After several seconds dozens of other lights appeared in the sky. They were clearly pursuing Linghua.

Looking towards sky Ziran thought: "Even though we just met there is no doubt that you are my mother in this life and I could clearly feel the immense love you have for me from your words and actions just now. Therefore I promise you! As long as I become powerful enough I will definitely find you and protect you from who or whatever it is that is pursuing you!"

Jian Qingrou: "We should probably get going as well."

With a flash of silver lightning Jian Qingrou disappeared along with the infant Ziran in her arms.

Ziran Narration: "And that was the beginning of my third life."
