Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

The Path to Immortality is elusive, and everyone wants to achieve it even if there's only a glimmer of hope. Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered. His extreme fear of death and desire to be undying have forced him to step onto this dangerous path of Immortal Cultivation. He is not a Chosen One who is the favored son of heavens, nor is he the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. Armed with a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets forth to carve a way of his own in this world where fate toys with one's very existence itself and eldritch horror like beings devour universes for fun. However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging? Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others? ------- The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel and don't hesitate to point out any mistakes I do in the comments. Also, I'm not a native of China, so there are probably going to be a lot of mistakes in names and history and stuff, please bear with it. Note: English is not my first language and the cover image is not mine.

Chosen Ones, Connate Providence

Second Great Mortal World, Edge of the Eastern Continent.

Tian Yongheng sat beside a river flowing over to a Mortal Town as he looked at the System notifications that had appeared out of nowhere with a complicated gaze and an indifferent expression.

He remembered his past life now, and his past memories had successfully merged with his current ones.

He had many questions, but no one to answer them. He felt very bitter.

By this time, all the functions about the System were already imprinted in his mind.

He learned that the universe was far more complicated than he had initially thought previously through the system's description of various things.

There were all kinds of 'Chosen Ones' in the Myriad Worlds and the Universe.

The term 'Chosen Ones' referred to 'Protagonists' that he knew about from his Past Life experiences in the Modern Earth.

Reincarnations of Immortals, Heavenly Dao's favored Ones, Transmigrators from other worlds, including Earth and even System Hosts were scattered throughout the vast expanse of the Universe.

After knowing all of this, one thought appeared in his mind.

"Am I also a Chosen One?"

But the System said otherwise.

[The Host is not a Chosen One and won't be controlled by the Dao.]

"Then why is the system with me, why do I have my Past Life memories?"

[Host's Cultivation is not sufficient enough to know that.]

What came forward was the same mechanical voice devoid of any emotion, as if it was particularly designed to be that way.

To be honest, his system was indeed quite different from the Novels he had read back on earth. The Systems were portrayed as existences who had their own separate wills and even individual system names. But his System didn't seem to have any of that.

It didn't even have a name like 'Fate-Changing System' or something. It was simply called the 'System'.

Tian Yongheng gave up. He had no other choice but to accept things as they were right now.

He sighed slowly stood up and looked at his own reflection in the river.

Althrough he was still as good-looking as before, there was something different about him now.

He couldn't see his own emotions on his face. It was expressionless and indifferent.

Tian Yongheng didn't mind it. He just took a glance and once again said to the System in his mind.

"Status Window".

Then, the System Interface appeared in his mind and his Profile Icon opened.

[Name: Tian Yongheng]

[Race: Mortal]

[Gender: Male]

[Lifespan: 16/100]

[Cultivation: None]

[Title(s): None]

[Host's Current Connate Providence is as follows:

[Ethereal Looks: Extremely Good-looking face that can make your presence irresistible in front of the opposite gender.]

[Five-Elemental Divine Spiritual Physique: A never-before-seen Constitution that compliments all the elements of the world. Not just the initial Five-Elements, it also compliments Elements such as Yin-Yang, Time, Space and many more. It can not only help you get stronger than those of the same level, it can also increase the Spirit Qi of the area where you're cultivating and also help living beings near you cultivate.]

[Descendant of the Primeval Lord of Heaven: You have the Bloodline of the First Pure One of the Three Pure Ones, The Primeval Lord of Heaven, also known as The Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning. Extremely Fast Cultivation Speed and great Connate Providence. You're not bound by the Heavenly Dao.]

[Sword Heart: Top-notch Sword Dao talent. The amount of living beings with the Sword Heart that has ever appeared since Ancient Times can be counted on one hand.]

[Primordial Meridians and Primordial Bones: Innate Talents that greatly compliments each other. Can enhance your Cultivation Speed even more and make your Cultivation Path smoother.]

Tian Yongheng looked at the series of notifications in front of him with surprise in his eyes.

"Aren't I too Talented?"

But that was most likely not the case as there were many Chosen Ones out there.

He shook off his thoughts and once again asked the System.

"And what is the Divine Scripture of the Primordial Beginning?"

[Divine Scripture of the Primordial Beginning: A Cultivation Technique created by the Primeval Lord of Heaven himself. It is a part of your Providence, but not the Connate Providence as it can be taken away by someone searching your soul or by some other methods.]

"Alright."

Tian Yongheng opened his eyes slowly. He had already begun to feel many unknown things he didn't before. It was probably because of his Constitution, Bloodline and Innate Talents.

"Where should I go now..?"

Just as this thought flashed across his mind, he remembered the scene of his entire family lying lifeless at the door of Jiangnan Qin Family's Residence.

His eyes turned cold, and they were not as soft as they used to be before he regained his past life memories.

Then, he started walking towards a certain direction, without knowing where to go.
