Volume One: Luoshui City

Chapter 0001: Creation of Heaven and Earth, Infinite Bloodline

"Kill! Kill!"

A furious, resentful, and unwilling roar rang out as William Nash gradually regained consciousness.

"Yun'er, you’re finally awake. Don’t scare your mother like that again!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a voice tinged with sobs.

Hearing this voice, William Nash shuddered, his eyes instantly widening as he hurriedly turned toward the source of the sound. Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged woman sitting by the bed, her eyes red and bloodshot, as if she hadn’t slept for several nights.

"Mother?"

William Nash froze all over, his mind buzzing as a memory flashed by.

His name was William Nash, a super expert at the peak of the Dantian Acupoint Realm. When the demon race invaded, he and dozens of sworn brothers entered the continent’s most mysterious Myriad Worlds Mountain to seek traces left by the gods, hoping for a breakthrough and a chance at survival.

After a series of adventures, they really did discover an ancient civilization deep in the distant reaches of time and space. Just as he obtained it and hadn’t had time to examine it closely, a long sword pierced his chest!

The one who struck was his most trusted brother! They had already defected to the demon race and used him to find these ruins!

Under the powerful assault of the demon invasion, William Nash had not intended to survive, but being betrayed by his most trusted brother still drove him mad. Gravely wounded, he unleashed a forbidden technique, burning his own lifespan to slaughter all those who betrayed him with his sword!

That battle caused the collapse of Myriad Worlds Mountain and the ancient civilization!

That battle wiped out all who betrayed him!

That battle shattered his soul and bloodline, utterly dissipating!

"I shouldn’t have died. Wasn’t my family already destroyed?"

As this memory flashed by, William Nash clenched his fist. When his eyes fell on the familiar surroundings, a bolt of lightning seemed to strike him. His mouth fell open as he uttered words of disbelief.

"I actually... returned to three hundred years ago? I’m only sixteen this year?"

He knew this scene all too well, unforgettable for a lifetime. It was the year he was sixteen, when he went out and encountered his clan cousin Charles Nash. A disagreement led to a quarrel, and the other party severely injured him!

This time, he was unconscious for five whole days and nights, and his mother stayed by his side for all five days and nights! When he finally woke up, his strength had plummeted from the early stage of the third level of the Qi Sea Ninth Heaven to several levels lower, back to the first level of the Qi Introduction Realm!

Because his strength dropped so drastically, he missed the clan disciple assessment, his branch’s status fell to the lowest, he was abandoned by the clan, forced to leave Luoshui City, and from then on, he never recovered, suffering humiliation from outsiders, his family members dying one after another with no one to rely on!

It was also because of this injury that his mother, in order to find a Pengxin Snow Lotus to save him, secretly climbed up Xialuo Peak and accidentally fell to her death, becoming a lifelong regret!

"If you’re fine, stop pretending to be dead. Get up and cultivate!"

Just as William Nash was overwhelmed by the shock of rebirth, an unhappy, cold shout rang out. The speaker was a somewhat disheveled middle-aged man holding a huge wine gourd, reeking of alcohol, staggering as he walked out.

"Father?" Seeing this man and hearing such a scolding, William Nash didn’t feel any resentment. Instead, his eyes reddened.

His father, Edward Nash, was once the clan’s number one genius, a royal peak cultivator who had awakened seven major bloodline factors. Before the age of twenty-five, he had reached the seventh level of the Qi Sea Ninth Heaven, was the champion of the Luoshui Talents Competition, and the winner of the Luoshui Golden Shield. Just when everyone thought he would break through the seventh-level bottleneck and become a grandmaster, he suddenly suffered a cultivation deviation, his Qi Sea damaged, and all his power destroyed!

A damaged Qi Sea meant he could never cultivate again. For a super genius said to appear only once in a hundred years, the blow was too great. From then on, his father was never the same, drowning his sorrows in alcohol every day.

From genius to cripple, his father’s former rivals all ostracized him. Their branch’s status in the clan plummeted, and now they had been assigned to the very edge of Luoshui City, not even allowed into the clan estate!

He was born into this environment, bullied and ridiculed from birth. Because of this, he always resented his father, even hated this family!

If not for this father, he could have awakened his bloodline factors earlier, obtained more cultivation resources, and his strength would have improved much faster. He might have already become a genius admired by all in the clan, instead of being reduced to living on the city’s edge, despised and looked down upon by everyone!

If not for this father, he wouldn’t have suffered so much humiliation, faced such obstacles in everything, and lived in such hardship!

For these reasons, he grew to hate his father more and more, to the point where there was no affection between them.

This situation continued until that day...

That day, blood filled the sky as the demon army invaded all of Luoshui City. His father’s body shielded him, pierced through by the spear of a demon leader!
