Chapter 1

"Unexpectedly, I've traveled to the world of Dou Po Cang Qiong."

In the Xiao family's backyard in Wutan City, a handsome young man with a pale expression sat up from the bed.

He had just traveled from Earth to the Dou Qi Continent after dying from eating seafood contaminated by nuclear waste.

Now, he was Xiao Ning, a minor character from the original story.

"Xiao Yan is really ruthless."

As Xiao Ning got up, a wave of pain hit him, making him grimace.

He remembered the timeline: yesterday was the coming-of-age ceremony for the younger generation of the Xiao family.

True to the original plot, Xiao Ning had challenged Xiao Yan out of jealousy but was defeated and seriously injured despite using Zengqi Powder.

"It's really embarrassing."

In the original story, Xiao Ning was a sycophant, always trying to impress Xiao Xun'er by causing trouble for Xiao Yan.

"I really licked until there was nothing left."

Xiao Ning formed a strange hand seal and felt strands of Dou Qi entering his body. He was filled with joy and anticipation. As a time traveler, he had always dreamed of gaining extraordinary powers and becoming invincible.

Feeling the Dou Qi, Xiao Ning vowed to practice hard and become a peerless strongman.

This was his chance to change his fate.

[Ding, the host's awakening of a strong heart has been detected. The Heavenly Desolate Emperor's inheritance has been successfully activated]

A strange voice sounded in his mind. Xiao Ning was stunned for a moment, then his vision blurred as a majestic figure appeared in his mind.

This figure was surrounded by countless stars and seemed to stand in the long river of time, looking into the future and seeing chaos.

"Heavenly Desolate Emperor..."

Xiao Ning was shocked,as a reader of countless novels, he knew that Emperor Huangtian was a pinnacle figure in fantasy combat power.

Now, he was receiving his inheritance.

One of the stars around the Desolate Emperor emitted a bright light, and an extremely mysterious message poured into Xiao Ning's mind.

"The Immortal Sutra..."

After a long time, Xiao Ning opened his eyes, which seemed to contain moving stars.

He was excited to discover that the first inheritance he received was the "Immortal Sutra," the most powerful body-tempering method.

The Immortal Sutra transcended the limitations of time, allowing one's body to last forever.

Even after death, spiritual consciousness could regenerate.

[ If you want to activate the remaining inheritance, you need to devour souls]

While accepting the inheritance, Xiao Ning learned he could unlock more of Desolate Emperor's legacy through killing and devouring souls.

"That's fine."

Xiao Ning felt a surge of pride. In this new world, he was destined to dominate.

"However, the top priority is to improve my strength."

He focused on the contents of the Immortal Sutra. If he completed the first level, he would achieve extreme physical strength, wielding immense power with one arm.

Ignoring his injuries, Xiao Ning sat cross-legged and began practicing. Bright runes flashed around him and merged into his body, rapidly healing his injuries.

After some time, Xiao Ning opened his eyes, fully healed.

"As expected of the Immortal Sutra, this is just my first attempt at cultivation."

He realized that to improve further, he needed medicinal baths with heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Unfortunately, he was currently penniless, having spent all his money on Qi-enhancing powder before the ceremony.

"I need to find a way to make money."

As he pondered this, light footsteps approached. Xiao Ning quickly lay back down.

The door creaked open, and a slim woman entered with a medicine bowl.

"Brother, it's time to take your medicine."

Xiao Ning pretended to be weak. "Sister, you're here."

The woman was Xiao Yu, his sister and a minor character in the original story.

She lovingly cared for Xiao Ning as he drank the medicine.

"Brother, don't worry, I will avenge you!"

Seeing Xiao Ning's weak state, Xiao Yu was determined to get back at Xiao Yan.

"Sister, my skills are inferior,don't trouble Xiao Yan."

A look of determination crossed Xiao Ning's face.

"I will recover from yesterday's shame."

He didn't want to rely on his sister cause now that he had the Desolate Emperor's inheritance and the Immortal Sutra, he was confident he would soon surpass Xiao Yan and avenge his humiliation.

"Brother, you..."

Xiao Yu was surprised by his resolve.

She saw a newfound strength in him and felt relieved.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Ning knew he had to improve quickly.

He was determined to rise to dominate the world and never be a mere supporting character again.
