Ten thousand years ago, Ye Tian was just a high school student—until a fateful surgery hurled him into a world of cultivation, where he became the feared Heavenly Demon, a name cursed by immortals and dreaded by demons. After countless lifetimes of slaughter and a desperate struggle against the Heavens themselves, Ye Tian finally returns to his former world... only to find it is not what it once seemed. His arrival triggers a global awakening—unleashing mysterious powers, mutating animals, and driving humans mad. With society collapsing into chaos and zombie-like creatures roaming the streets, Ye Tian’s quiet reunion with his family is shattered. Faced with a new kind of apocalypse, he must once again awaken the Heavenly Demon within to protect those he loves and uncover the dark secrets that bind both worlds. Will Ye Tian reclaim the life he lost, or will he lose everything once more?
Time goes back a few minutes, just before Ye Tian began his breakthrough.
At this time, the smoke had just cleared and Ye Tian's hand was still pierced through the giant Gao Tianyuan's heart.
Feeling the rapidly draining life force of the opponent in front of him, Ye Tian sighed slightly
As the seconds passed, he seemed to feel the once rapid heartbeat, filled with vigor and fighting spirit slowly diminish
If nothing changed, within a few seconds, its once vigorous beat would forever be silent. Never to make a sound again.
"Haha Kid, thanks for letting this old man go out with a bang" Said Gao Tianyuan's
As if sensing Ye Tian's emotions, Gao Tianyuan's began speaking as he felt his body temperature begin to drop.
"Listen here, although I don't know how you become this strong, but I want to give you one warning before I go"
"think of this as a thank you for the hearty battle ha~" he chuckled
Unfortunately, his smile just now looked a bit weird as his face with a dislocated jaw, an eye missing and blood dripping from the sides made it seem like a scene straight out of a horror movie
However, neither Gao Tianyuan nor Ye Tian could careless about it
In fact, hearing Gao Tianyuan's words, Ye Tian didn't say anything, rather he just remained silent motioning for him to continue
For his enemies, he would neither have pity nor feel sorrow for them, however for someone like Gao Tianyuan who was reminiscent of the true meaning of martial arts
A group of people who even as the heavenly demon he was fond of them due to their common mindset, Ye Tian felt at least a few last words were deserving of him.
"Alright Kiddo, I don't have much time so let me make this quick"
"Although I don't need to tell you this, but the world is changing"
"just like me and that Chen kid over there, people all over the world are awakening abilities even as we speak"
"and here in the dragon country, we call those people awakeners"
"With the weakest being F-level, and the highest being S-level."
And Chen Beixuan and I could only be mid-level at best"
Saying this, a sarcastic smile appeared on Gao Tianyuan's face despite his vision beginning to blur and his speech slurring with each word.
"Although given my status and connections, I don't really know much about what is going on, but I can be sure that those families in the capital are at the forefront of the changes"
"At least, until you reach S-level, try not to confront any of them, especially the Chen Family"
"I heard they have an S-level powerhouse hidden somewh-!"
*Cough! Cough!*
Cough up a clot of blood, Gao Tianyuan felt his time was up
Struggling to keep his eyes, open. He remembered something he had overheard from the Chen family representatives when they came to meet Chen Beixuan a long time ago
"Also, kid. Beware!"
"Beware of the Gods, those bastards are real!"
Saying this, Gao Tianyuan breathed his last breath, completely leaving the land of the living
A sight that left Ye Tian silent.
Hearing, the words of Gao Tianyuan, he wasn't too surprised about the changes going on in the Blue star
After all, he had already predicted the oncoming invasion and sensed the special energy in the air.
The only thing, that made him somewhat confused was the last message Gao Tianyuan said
"Gods? It seems like my guess wasn't too far off there too"
"However, the whole issue with Gods still needs to be investigated"
Murmuring under his lips, Ye Tian looked at the ground under his feet with consternation and curiosity
*Blue star! Blue star! Just what in the heavens and the world makes you so special!*
…..........…..
Picture turns back to the present, and condensing the Qi core in his dantian, Ye Tian had officially become a Qi cultivator
Feeling the energy in his body that was more than 5 times that of the previous stage, Ye Tian couldn't help but smile
"Haha Gao Tianyuan, it seems that you are not the only one who gained from this battle"
Laughing heartily, Ye Tian didn't expect to break through so easily
He thought he would need to kill at least thirty to fifty more people, an amount which could have made him easily be noticed by authorities
A situation he didn't want to happen.
However, just as he was about to continue exploring his new strength, a familiar voice sounded in his ears
"Um! Young master! It's me He Qiang"
"I've gathered everyone here just like you requested!"
Quivering in his shoes, it was only after making sure that Gao Tianyuan had died that he decided to speak up
As he was afraid interrupting him would lead to his head being cut off
Luckily, Ye Tian at this moment still didn't have time to take care of He Qiangs little thoughts
Rather as if sensing something, his eyes narrowed slightly
"Hey He Qiang, is there a hiding spot around here?"
"If there is, lead me there immediately. We need to go now"
"Tie the Chen brothers and drag them with you"
Hearing this, He Qiang although confused still answered the question
"There is one young master, just a few buildings down we have an underground hideout there"
"Nobody knows it apart from the former bosses, and captains."
"I only heard it because Sun Kai said it a few times while he was drunk" As he said this, he already began leading them toward the safe house
As for Chen Fan and Chen Beixuan, those two were both knocked out unconscious again by the Red Knife gang members and dragged along against their will
And He Qiang, despite his fear, his curiosity couldn't help but make him ask Ye Tian what was going on
"Young master! Why exactly are we running away?"
"did something happen?"
Saying this, He Qiang looked around several times but he couldn't sense anything
It wasn't until Ye Tian finally said what was going on that his face turned grave
"It's the police, perhaps the fight just now was too loud but I can sense them rapidly approaching this direction"
"Not only that, their numbers aren't small. I sense about a hundred of them making their way here"
"and rapidly at that"
