Jia Xingtian!

After carefully reading his own last testament three times, Chen Guan fell into deep thought.

He could not determine whether those experiences were real or false, but deep down, he still believed them eighty percent.

After all, many of the descriptions truly matched his nature.

His drowsiness was completely dispelled, and Chen Guan could not help but begin considering it. This last testament could tentatively be considered his "cheat," and although it did not have any ridiculously overpowered functions, it had still brought him quite a bit of information about the future.

Of course, the specifics still needed to be verified.

After careful deliberation, Chen Guan decided to trust it once. For the time being, he set aside the thought of using extreme methods to obtain a cultivation technique and quietly waited for the first key figure who could change his fate.

Jia Xingtian! According to the last testament, Jia Xingtian first appeared in Wutan City when Xiao Xun'er arrived, which would be half a month from now.

Chen Guan could afford to wait half a month!

Having made up his mind, Chen Guan calculated the benefits the information in the last testament could bring him. Seeing a glimmer of hope for becoming stronger, he grew somewhat excited and only drifted off into a daze when dawn began to break.

Half a month later.

That day, Chen Guan, still scraping by in his usual spot, clearly sensed that the atmosphere within the Xiao Family had become far more tense. His heart stirred, and he immediately got up and moved closer to the main gate.

"What do you think the identity of this distinguished guest is? The Clan Head and elders actually all went out to welcome them."

"Who the hell knows? But they must be Important Figures. It's not something we should concern ourselves with anyway."

"..."

After eavesdropping from afar for more than an hour, two Xiao Family members entering through the gate finally spoke of what Chen Guan wanted to know.

Just as expected, Xiao Xun'er had arrived! Having obtained the information he wanted, Chen Guan began looking forward to Jia Xingtian's arrival and returned to wait quietly.

One day, two days... five days passed. Just as Chen Guan could not help beginning to doubt, that night, when he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep, a figure appeared before him like a ghost.

His face was aged, yet his eyes were not cloudy. Instead, they were exceedingly sharp, and he carried an invisible Aura that made Chen Guan feel as though he were standing at the foot of Mount Tai.

It was him! It was him! It had to be him! Chen Guan was ninety percent certain inwardly, but his face froze as he displayed the shock he should have shown.

"You..."

"Hehe, child, do you want to be able to eat your fill every day from now on?" Jia Xingtian asked from above, stroking his beard.

He was never worried about being refused. Members of the Jiama Imperial Family often brought back homeless children struggling to survive at the very bottom of society when they traveled outside, all to expand the reserve ranks for trusted guards, death warriors, and the like.

Therefore, although these children had simple backgrounds, they would still be investigated.

He knew Chen Guan's current situation clearly. For a child, rather than asking whether he wanted to become a mighty expert admired by countless people, it was better to tempt him with something as simple as a full stomach.

As expected, the child before him Nodded, his eyes revealing longing.

"Then will you come with me?"

Chen Guan got to his feet "nervously," answering with his actions.

"Child, what is your name?"

"Chen Guan."

His reply was not particularly fluent, but it was already the best he could manage at present. It might have been smoother if he had written it instead.

Jia Xingtian Nodded Slightly and said nothing further, directly taking him to the City Lord's Mansion.

There were seven other children around Chen Guan's age here, four boys and three girls. All were blank slates who had yet to begin cultivating.

Jia Xingtian could not possibly fly back to the imperial capital with them, so the task naturally fell to the City Lord of Wutan City.

After giving a few simple instructions, Jia Xingtian left at once.

The Next Day.

Eight children with round, full bellies squeezed into a horse carriage. This was the first full meal Chen Guan had eaten since coming to the Dou Qi Continent! He was practically moved to tears. A soldier drove the carriage, neither treating them well nor poorly, simply carrying out his duties.

All the children in the carriage were also very quiet. During the first five days of their journey, their total conversation did not exceed five sentences.

They were all children with tragic fates. Otherwise, they would not have appeared here. Children like them were bound to be timid and afraid of strangers, so there was nothing unusual about it.

If a chatterbox who was naturally familiar with everyone suddenly appeared, that would be truly strange.

Chen Guan had no desire to speak with them either. Rarely having no need to worry about his next meal, he finally had enough time to sort through his plans for the future.

This was the Dou Qi Continent, where everything was decided by strength.

Chen Guan had ambitions. He wanted to control his own fate, and if possible, he wanted to ascend to the Great Thousand World and even higher worlds. But to achieve that, he needed sufficient strength.

His cheat was not much. So far, it was only a last testament, and the future information it provided was extremely limited. Now that he had boarded the ship of the Jiama Imperial Family, it could even be said that the last testament had become useless and would no longer serve any purpose.

In This Way, if he wanted to reach the peak of the Dou Qi Continent, there were very few paths he could take.

At this thought, Chen Guan greatly envied those fellow transmigrators with systems, simulators, and the like. They could casually obtain countless resources from beyond this world, even easily acquire something like Origin Qi, and had innumerable choices for cultivating to the Dou Emperor realm.

As for him, he had only two paths in total.

First, the inherited origin of the Tou She Ancient God.

Second, that half-finished Emperor Pill.

They appeared to be two options, but in reality, the latter was not suitable for him.

He was not Hun Tiandi. He did not have the capital to scheme across half the Dou Qi Continent and completely refine the Emperor Pill.

In This Way... the inherited origin of the Tou She Ancient God was his only hope!

Otherwise, he could only lie low until Xiao Yan became an Emperor and opened the passage to the Great Thousand World.

"Flame Mantra! That is the true key!"

Thinking of Yao Chen's strength, Chen Guan could not help sighing.

At this point in the timeline, Xiao Yan had only just begun cultivating. There were still several years before Yao Chen began absorbing his Dou Qi, but Chen Guan believed there was a high chance that Yao Chen was already conscious.

After all, Yao Chen had observed Xiao Yan for a long time before appearing to accept him as a disciple. No one knew exactly how long that "long time" was.

Since he could not be certain, Chen Guan planned for the worst-case scenario.

Stealing Xiao Yan's ring would not work! "I can only see whether there will be a chance to exchange for it later."

Chen Guan did not have much of an opinion about Xiao Yan. He merely hoped they could coexist peacefully.

He was certain that he would inevitably seize some of Xiao Yan's opportunities in the future. After all, the memories in his mind were currently his only advantage.

The struggle of cultivation had always been cruel. To grow stronger, Chen Guan would never go easy in this regard.

But deliberately hating and targeting Xiao Yan because of that would be rather despicable and completely unnecessary.

As for whether they would become enemies in the future, that would depend entirely on how fate unfolded.

As he pondered how to obtain the Flame Mantra along the way, a month passed before he knew it. The carriage finally entered the imperial capital and, after several handovers, entered the Imperial Palace of the Jia Ma Empire.

"We're here. Get down and stand properly."
