A generation's mighty and most powerful expert died mysteriously and reincarnated without any memories on a small planet far away from the Cultivation World. This small planet was earth. Five thousand years ago, a great calamity descended on earth. Countless Spatial Cracks appeared in the sky and beasts invaded. After hundreds of years of fighting, humans discovered they could awaken a battle spirit that can help them raise their strength and grant them the abilities that were simply unimaginable for humans before. Qin Feng also awakens his battle spirit but unfortunately, it was swallowed by his own birthmark, The Infinity Symbol. This was just the beginning of the mysteries that surrounded him like invisible specks of dust. He soon discovered that the 'Infinity Symbol' was actually not his birthmark but something mysterious from another world. The Infinity Symbol helped him awaken a Divine Battle Spirit and granted him a Nameless Cultivation Technique that was beyond the world's limit. He also discovered that he could not die! Every time, he was killed, he returned back in time with the memories of what is going to happen in the future. Soon after awakening the Divine Battle Spirit, a mysterious beautiful lady stepped into his life and told him that he does not belong to the earth.

She gently tugged at the Great Demon King's sleeve and looked at him with a pair of starry eyes. "Big brother, can you buy me candy?" Her smile was so sweet that it made one's heart soften. Everyone said that the Great Demon King was cruel and heartless. However, when faced with the little girl who said that she loved him once every day, the tips of his ears secretly turned red. At that time, everyone realized that the Great Demon King had found a wife to play with! -- The throne of the Great Demon King was empty, and the courtiers urged him to appoint an empress every day. That night, the Great Demon King pressed Yan Jiu down." You've grown up. Now, you can either marry me or be eaten by me. Choose one." Hmm?" Remembering that the Great Demon King had once dug up her bones and scattered her ashes, Yan Jiu's expression changed. She took out a knife and stabbed the Great Demon King. She smiled and asked, "Shall I scatter your ashes first?" Everyone thought that the little girl was weak and weak. She had no status or background, so she was definitely easy to bully. However, they did not know that the little girl was a big shot. On the surface, she was soft and harmless, but in fact, she was like a demon king who killed without batting an eye.

But I love you
