Dragon Emperor sensed something was wrong. With its power, it could still retreat in time, but it was unwilling to give up the Xing Tian Divine Armor. With a turn of its divine sense, Dragon Emperor advanced instead of retreating, bringing its claws together to trap Brian Carter in its grasp. It tried to use its emperor-level formidable divine sense to suppress the self-destruction.

However, the power unleashed by the Radiant Divine Light was far beyond its imagination.

In an instant, the entire universe froze, with only that brilliant divine light piercing through positive and negative space, opening an incredibly tiny hole in the fabric of time and space.

When the light faded, Wolf King and Dragon Emperor had vanished from this universe and time forever.

“Ah…”

With a suppressed gasp, Brian Carter woke up drenched in sweat.

In the darkness, the pale blue nightlight display showed the time: 02:34. Above the time, the date was displayed: April 5, 3298.

The sensor light on the wall gradually brightened as Brian Carter got out of bed. The gentle light brought a sense of warmth, but was never harsh.

Brian Carter paid no attention to the light, instead staring fixedly at the star calendar opposite him, his mind in turmoil, unable to calm down.

On Blackstone Star, everyone used the unified Galactic Calendar, with time following Earth’s convention—a 24-hour system. For people who lived underground all year round, using Earth time was not unreasonable.

The calendar displayed on the clock was perfectly normal, matching Brian Carter’s memory exactly. The problem was, he had just had an extremely long dream.

In that dream, he had experienced countless battles and become a king-level powerhouse. But then came the Black Dragon Clan’s invasion, the Light Empire’s crushing defeat, his escape with the Xing Tian Divine Armor, and finally being ambushed by the Black Dragon Clan’s emperor, Dragon Emperor, ending as a dazzling, peerless divine light.

Every detail of the dream was vivid in his mind. Brian Carter couldn’t believe it was just a long and strange dream.

But if it wasn’t a dream, then what was it? A vision of the future? Even with over a hundred years of experience and knowledge from the dream, Brian Carter still couldn’t comprehend everything he had gone through.

Barefoot, he got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water from the kitchen’s purifier. The water, drawn from three thousand meters underground and filtered and sterilized layer by layer, was still cool and sweet.

Brian Carter drank three glasses in a row, feeling a chill spread from his stomach, helping him calm down.

Even if it was all a dream, it was deeply imprinted in his mind, becoming part of his memory. The emotions he experienced were just as real. Brian Carter felt that everything fit him so well, as if it was his future life.

“Having these memories is a good thing, right? At least, he still remembers many cultivation secrets… though who knows if they’re real!” At this thought, Brian Carter suddenly smiled. He was being silly—there was a way to verify it. The cultivation techniques in his memory could be tested.

As Brian Carter was thinking this, the ground suddenly shook beneath his feet, nearly making him fall. “An earthquake…” Brian Carter instinctively guessed. But the series of deafening booms immediately made him dismiss that thought.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning crossed Brian Carter’s mind. That’s right—today was the early morning of April 5, 3298! In the long memories he had just gained, this day was an extremely important one.

On this day, the underground races of Blackstone Star—lizardmen, shadow wolves, green gnomes, and others—joined forces to form an allied army and attacked the Central Star Mining Base, causing over twenty thousand casualties. The mining base was almost razed to the ground.

In this serious incident, Brian Carter narrowly escaped, but his uncle’s entire family perished. Even his first love, Sophie Foster, died in this disaster. His life’s trajectory was changed forever.

When Brian Carter was a child, his parents disappeared during an interstellar expedition. He was raised by his uncle. His uncle was a mid-level manager at Central Star Mining Group, and because of the mining on Blackstone Star, Brian Carter had moved here with him.

Brian Carter hadn’t expected those memories to actually come true. The tragic and painful memories weighed on him like a giant stone, making it hard to breathe.

He stood in a daze for a moment before suddenly coming to his senses. To have another chance—this was his opportunity to change his fate! But with his meager strength now, could he really change history? This battle would be brutal, nothing like a game. Any mistake could cost him his life.

These thoughts flashed through Brian Carter’s mind, and his movements unconsciously slowed. He looked up and saw the Tang sword hanging on the wall.

An ebony scabbard, fittings of purple gold, the hilt wrapped with a thin black cord. The blade was long and simple, with a subdued yet elegant luster.

Brian Carter took down the sword and gently drew it from its scabbard. The blade shone with a silvery brilliance, as if forged from condensed moonlight. At the base of the blade were two engraved characters: 思锋.

The Sifeng Sword. It was a seventeenth birthday gift from Sophie. Even the cord on the hilt was wrapped by her own hands. Brian Carter treasured this sword dearly—he wouldn’t even let others look at it.

Holding the Sifeng Sword, Brian Carter thought of the lively and adorable Sophie, and couldn’t help but smile. What was there to hesitate about now? Though he was not yet the Wolf King who would roam the galaxy a hundred years later, he was always Brian Carter.

Having lost his parents’ care from a young age, Brian Carter had developed a very resilient character. After that great dream, he had become even more decisive and strong-willed.

“Some things are more important and meaningful than life itself…” At this moment, Brian Carter’s gaze was incomparably resolute.
