Chapter 1: I, Lin Langtian!

In the Tianxuan Continent, in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Great Yan County.

Great Yan County, known as the imperial county of the Great Yan Empire.

Within Great Yan County, there are two major cities. Aside from the imperial capital, the royal city, there is Lin City, the seat of the Lin clan, one of the four great clans of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Lin clan is one of the top powers in the Great Yan Empire. The clan not only houses numerous masters but also boasts Nirvana Realm experts who stand at the pinnacle of the empire!

As the headquarters of the Lin clan, Lin City is located in a prosperous area, and its wealth ranks among the top in the empire.

At the very center of Lin City is the core area for the clan's children.

Those who can live here are either direct descendants of the clan or high-ranking elders, all of whom are rich and noble.

At this moment, in a room within the core area, a man strained with all his might to open his heavy eyelids, and a luxurious and opulent room came into view.

This unfamiliar scene startled the man, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

"I... wasn't I hit by a female killer on the road? How did I end up here?"

Thinking of this, the man's face showed a look of terror. However, before he could ponder further, a sharp pain in his head struck again, causing him to faint once more.

Time slowly passed, and when the man woke up again, a flood of unfamiliar memories gradually poured into his mind...

"This is Lin City of the Great Yan Dynasty, and I am... Lin Langtian?"

Upon receiving this familiar yet strange name from his original body, the man was stunned. Then, as if realizing something, his face showed a trace of shock.

Realizing this, he quickly stood up, went to the desk, and looked into the mirror.

In the mirror, the man had a handsome and tall appearance, wearing a green robe with long hair flowing, exuding an extremely carefree aura. His temperament was far superior to that of any male star from his previous life.

"Have I really become Lin Langtian?"

Seeing himself in the mirror, the man's expression kept changing, and then he sighed.

In his previous life, he was named Lin Lang, only one character different from Lin Langtian, and was a soon-to-be university graduate who spent his days looking for a good job.

As a result, he was hit by a female driver while crossing the road. To make matters worse, he hadn't deleted his browser history.

Not only did he lose his life, but his reputation would likely be ruined as well.

"Wait, the Great Yan Empire, and the name Lin Langtian, could I have come to the Great Thousand World?"

After lamenting, Lin Langtian suddenly realized something, and his face turned even more distressed.

In his previous life, he loved novels and had often neglected his studies for them, leading to a decline in his academic performance. Naturally, he had read the second part of the popular "Potato Trilogy."

He was not unfamiliar with Lin Langtian, a name only one character different from his own.

In the original work, Lin Langtian was born in the Lin clan of the Great Yan Dynasty. He was not only the most brilliant genius in the clan but also a prominent figure among the young generation of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Unfortunately, he was arrogant, cold, and selfish. During a ten-year clan meeting, he crippled Lin Xiao, and from then on, he became Lin Dong's enemy and the driving force behind Lin Dong's cultivation journey.

"Unexpectedly, I have become Lin Langtian. Does this mean I have become the lifelong enemy of the protagonist?"

Lin Langtian said with a bitter expression.

At this moment, no one would think that a neglected young master from a small town in a remote city of the Great Yan Empire would become the future renowned Martial Ancestor!

The Martial Ancestor, the second realm powerhouse in the Tianxuan Continent and the first native of the continent to enter the Great Thousand World!

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian's mood became even more depressed.

One must know that Lin Dong is the son of the Tianxuan Continent, much like Xiao Yan, favored by heaven and earth. He progresses through trials, defeating enemies and leveling up, a perfect protagonist template.

Moreover, after reaching the Great Thousand World, Lin Dong quickly grew into a peak powerhouse, becoming a giant figure in the Great Thousand World, a truly formidable character.

As for Lin Langtian, he was merely one of the minor bosses in Lin Dong's path to growth, a truly pitiful fate.

"Maybe, before Lin Dong grows up, I should just..."

Familiar with his own situation, Lin Langtian's eyes flickered, and a ruthless look emerged on his face.

Although he liked Lin Dong in his previous life, especially that line "Strengthen my Dao Sect!" which stirred the heroic passions of many men, now that he had become Lin Dong's enemy, this feeling made him extremely uneasy.

After all, being an opponent of the son of the plane is truly nerve-wracking. His fortuitous encounters and rapid growth greatly exceed common expectations.

If he didn't root out Lin Dong before he grew up, he might one day be tracked down, ending in a tragic demise.

Besides, it was likely that Lin Dong had already obtained the stone talisman.

The stone talisman, truly called the Ancestor Stone, was ranked second on the Tianxuan Continent's list of ancient divine objects, second only to the Will of the Plane, a priceless treasure.

Lin Dong's rise was greatly aided by the stone talisman, which housed the young master of the Celestial Demon Marten clan, another significant helper!

Lin Langtian, although an outstanding genius in the clan and even the entire empire, was quite insignificant when placed in the entire continent.

However, with the Ancestor Stone and the assistance of the little marten, he might be able to replicate Lin Dong's path.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian was somewhat tempted. However, while his heart was stirred, he hesitated about killing Lin Dong.

If it were Tang San, he would have no hesitation. After all, the latter was a hypocrite, deserving of death.

But Lin Dong was righteous and resolute, easily earning people's admiration. Lin Langtian was not a saint, but neither was he selfish and wanton in killing. He wouldn't kill the innocent for his own benefit.

Moreover, Lin Langtian knew that the Tianxuan Continent was not entirely safe.

If he caused Lin Dong's fall and didn't reach the Ancestor Realm himself, when the Demon Emperor invaded the continent, the entire continent, including himself, would perish, merely living a few more years.

Thus, there was no need to become this calamity.

As Lin Langtian hesitated, a clear, ethereal cry suddenly echoed in his mind.

Chirp!

The cry was not particularly loud but left Lin Langtian feeling struck by lightning, his entire body stiffening, with his head buzzing.

Boom!

As Lin Langtian's mind was overwhelmed by this cry, he was astonished to discover.

A wave of scorching and noble energy suddenly emerged from within him, heading straight for his mind. Instantly, new information flooded his brain!

The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow?!

This situation left the already dazed Lin Langtian completely stupefied, his eyes filled with surprise.

My golden finger has arrived!
