The sky was blue and the clouds were white. The blue sea was infinite.
It was July, and the weather was hot. At first glance, it was verdant everywhere.
The Heaven Illusion Dynasty respected martial arts. This was a world dominated by martial arts. The fist was the truth, and cultivation was the basis of everything.
The Heaven Wasteland City was located in a remote place in the northwest of the Heaven Illusion Empire.
At noon, the sun hung high in the sky.
In the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Chen sat cross-legged under a towering tree. His face was expressionless, and his deep eyes stared at the sky in silence.
He was the son of the famous War King of the Heaven Illusion Dynasty, and his status was once extremely noble. However, after the War King died, he was banished to the Heaven Wasteland City due to the power struggle of the imperial family. He was known as the master of a city, but in reality, everyone knew that the War King's bloodline had become the victim of power and influence.
"The Dragon Emperor?"
Lu Chen withdrew his gaze and the corners of his mouth curled up as he mocked himself.
At the end of the dark great era, dark turmoil appeared, endangering the cosmos. The heavens and myriad clans, the Dragon Emperor stepped forward bravely, using his own power to suppress the turmoil, ending the dark great era, at the same time opening up a new era of the Dragon Emperor.
In the first year of the Dragon Emperor's reign, the Dragon Emperor had issued a new rule that no one was allowed to kill each other. They were to communicate with each other and learn from each other, so that they could return to their peak state before the dark turmoil as soon as possible.
The Dragon Emperor had killed the Demon Venerable and challenged the Dragon Emperor for 90 thousand years. The two of them had fought fiercely for seven days and seven nights at the top of the starry sky. In the end, the Dragon Emperor had crushed them with absolute strength. From then on, no one could shake his position as the overlord of the starry sky in the universe.
The Dragon Emperor had lived for three hundred and ninety thousand years...
Deep in his mind, memories of his previous life surged like a tidal wave.
When he had been reborn, he had lost the memories of his previous life because the power of the Soul Dao was too strong for him to bear. He was now fifteen years old, and his memories had been restored.
Lu Chen sighed.
During these past few years, he had experienced all of the world's fickleness. He watched helplessly as the War King's bloodline fell, but he couldn't do anything about it. In the end, he discovered that he was actually the Dragon Emperor's reincarnation.
When he came to his senses, Lu Chen began to think seriously.
How did he die? How did he be reborn?
Even though he used to be a top master with one hand, he didn't know about it at all.
"The backfire of the Natural Law?"
Lu Chen shook his head. When he cultivated to the top of the world, he felt a pair of invisible big hands controlling everything. He wanted to break the shackles of heaven and earth and rush out of this world. However, every time he took action, he would be warned by the Tao of Heaven.
He denied this speculation, because he truly remembered that he was currently cultivating in isolation.
"Qi Deviation in cultivation?"
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The Dragon Emperor, who was once a peak expert, had died from a cultivation deviation and was reborn in the Heaven Wasteland City? He couldn't accept this.
"Bro's betrayal?"
He and the Mystic Emperor had lived and died together. With the rise of grass roots along the way, he did not believe that his good brother would stab him in the back.
"But... why did you change the Dragon Emperor's calendar to the Mystic Emperor's calendar after my death?"
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's face became a little serious.
He had personally created the Dragon Emperor's calendar. However, now, it was the Mystic Emperor's calendar of fifteen years.
In other words, the Dragon Emperor's calendar had come to an end the year he had died and had become a part of the past.
He was a little confused.
But at the same time, he was a little relieved.
The Dragon Emperor had perished in the end. As for the mysteries that had plagued him, they would eventually be solved as his strength increased.
Now that he had been reborn, he had to face reality calmly.
"Brother."
Suddenly, the bell-like voice woke up Lu Chen, who was lost in thought.
He looked up and saw a cute little girl with a ponytail and a princess dress running toward him.
"Sister."
Lu Chen opened his arms and hugged his sister, Lu Xin tightly.
His father, the War King, fought against the previous kings under the heavens. Due to his high contributions, he was bestowed the title of War King, and he was bestowed with the title of War King's fief.
However, the current king was afraid that the War King's achievements would shake the world, and he would secretly push and suppress the War King. Coupled with the power struggle of the Left Prime Minister, he regarded the War King as a stone blocking the way.
In the first year of the Mystic Emperor's reign, Lu Chen was born. The War King's accomplishments were astonishing. The War King's Mansion was filled with danger.
Five years after the Mystic Emperor passed, his younger sister Lu Xin was born. In the same year, the War King died on the battlefield.
Without the War King's protection, the War King bloodline was suppressed by all sides, gradually declining. If it wasn't for the Right Chief Minister's appearance, as well as the War King's powerful prestige when he was alive, the few remaining members of their family might have been killed as well.
"Brother, I can practice now."
Compared to Lu Chen, her younger sister, Lu Xin's cultivation talent was much weaker. She had always been unable to temper her body. Now that she had successfully tempered her body, she immediately ran over to tell her older brother.
The 10-year-old girl was ignorant and ignorant. She didn't know anything about the recent situation of the Wang family.
Her fair little hand was holding Lu Chen's arm, and her pure and flawless face was filled with a happy smile.
Not far away, Lu Chen's mother looked at this warm scene, and a drop of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She really hoped that this moment could be fixed.
"Xin'er is the best."
Lu Chen said with a smile. Looking at his innocent sister, he swore in his heart that no matter how difficult it would be in the future, no matter how miserable the Battle King lineage would be, he would do his best to protect his family and sister.
Even the high-ranking Left Prime Minister couldn't hurt his family at all.
A cold killing intent flashed across the depths of Lu Chen's eyes. Over the years, the War King lineage had been humiliated. Even though he had been exiled to the Heaven Wasteland City, those forces that were enemies with the War King lineage were still unwilling to let them off.
Not long ago, he was assassinated for the seventh time. Fortunately, Uncle Fu protected him so that he could be safe and sound.
"Xin'er, don't disturb your brother's cultivation."
Mrs. Lu stepped forward in a timely manner and took Lu Xin away. She smiled at the same time and said softly, "Chen'er, there's no need to put too much pressure on us. Although the War King's bloodline has declined, your father's prestige is still there. They don't dare to make a move openly."
Lu Chen fell into his memories.
"Your Majesty, although the War King has worked hard and made great contributions, he died on the battlefield that year. I have some doubts. According to some clues, the War King..."
"What did he say?"
"The War King... betrayed the Heavenly Illusion Empire."
The words of the Left Prime Minister were still ringing in their ears. At that time, the War King lineage tried their best to refute. However, the Left Prime Minister was so powerful that they had no right to speak.
Although the king did not quite believe it, he was also suspicious.
"After all, the War King is an elder. His descendants still need to be treated with preferential treatment. I suggest that young master Lu Chen return to the place where the War King made his fortune and take control of a city."
The Right Chief Minister had come forward to speak up for the Battle King's bloodline. Coupled with the War King's high prestige, the king was not willing to take the risk of being greatly humiliated. As such, he listened to the Left Chief Minister's advice and sent the War King's bloodline to Heaven Wasteland City.
All kinds of memories came to his mind. Lu Chen clenched his fists to suppress the anger in his heart.
"No one can hurt my family."
Lu Chen thought to himself.
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Lu Xin tilted her head and asked.
"It's nothing. I'm worried that your brother won't be able to rest well, so I asked him to have a good rest," said Mrs. Lu as she caressed Lu Xin's head.
Lu Xin nodded. "Brother, you have to listen to my mother."
"I will."
Lu Chen nodded heavily. His eyes were filled with tenderness.
When Mrs. Lu left with Lu Xin, the garden became peaceful again. From Mrs. Lu and her sister Lu Xin, he felt endless family affection, sweet and happy.
His mentality had also changed a little, and he completely put down the noble identity of his previous life.
From now on.
The Dragon Emperor had died, and he was Lu Chen!
