"Hmmph!"
Xun Er ran her slender fingers over the Ancient Book, her lips pursing in slight irritation.
Her father had arranged for her to grow up in the Xiao Family, telling the clan that she would find an opportunity to bring back the Tou She Ancient God Jade. But in truth, sending any Dou Ling would have accomplished that. Why send her?
He had merely wanted to give her the childhood of an ordinary girl, allowing her to slowly fuse with the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame Seed Fire in an environment free of pressure. With the Heavenly Flame's power, she could temper away the impurities in her bloodline and raise its grade.
She had never intended to invest too much emotion in the Xiao Family, because she knew she would leave sooner or later and never return. This place was only a temporary stop. Yet life always held surprises, and Chu Xiao had been her unexpected encounter. He always came up with novel ideas, was good at making up and telling stories, and could even cook.
Over the past ten years, Chu Xiao had won over her stomach, while those stories had captured her heart. Coupled with all the little moments they had shared day and night, it had become difficult for her to let him go.
But she also knew that the clan would never agree to her being with Chu Xiao. So, she had recently decided to return to the clan and grow strong as quickly as possible, until no one in the clan could control her. Then she could bring Chu Xiao back and live with him there forever.
Unexpectedly, before she could put that plan into action, she first received this Diary Copy and learned of Chu Xiao's "wonderful" future.
"Let me see just how blessed in romance you'll be in the future, Brother Chu Xiao."
Xun Er's gaze sharpened as she held the Diary Copy and continued reading.
You really shouldn't raise a flag. Before the great battle, I even promised them that once it was over, I would take them traveling throughout the Great Thousand World. Yet I ended up falling.
"Flag?"
The Women holding Diary Copies were all puzzled.
It was a word they had never seen before. Had he learned it in the future?
"Brother Chu Xiao is talking strangely again." Only Xun Er was used to it.
The Heavenly Evil God was far stronger than I had imagined. Only by sacrificing my true spirit and burning my Primal Dharma Body to its utmost sublimation could I barely fight him after he opened Eight Eyes. But when he opened Nine Eyes, I was completely no match for him. I couldn't even perish together with him.
Heavenly Evil God, Primal Dharma Body, Eight Eyes, Nine Eyes.
The Women silently remembered these terms. Perhaps they would prove useful someday in the future.
At that time, I was already a Saint-Rank Peak Heavenly Sovereign. I had mastered numerous Peerless Divine Abilities, rebuilt the Ancient Heavenly Palace, yet could only sigh helplessly!
"Heavenly Sovereign? Saint-Rank Peak?"
The Women murmured these unfamiliar realm titles.
Aside from Xun Er, the other girls all guessed that they might be titles for Dou Zun experts.
The owner of this diary, Chu Xiao, actually became a peak expert of the Dou Qi Continent in the future?
"Heavenly Sovereign may be a title like Soul Hall Great Heavenly Venerate. Saint-Rank Peak... Could Brother Chu Xiao's strength have reached Peak Dou Saint?" Xun Er felt both troubled and delighted.
She was troubled because an enemy that even a Peak Dou Saint could not defeat might appear in the future. That was extremely dangerous.
She was delighted because, with Chu Xiao possessing such strength, the clan would surely agree to them being together.
No wonder he had more than one woman in the future. Having three wives and four concubines was practically one of a powerhouse's standard traits.
But then again, I already sacrificed my true spirit. How could I not have fallen and instead been reborn?
Could it be that the Azure Sky Chart recognized my act of sacrificing myself to protect the Great Thousand World and gave me another chance?
Great Thousand World?
Recognition from the Azure Sky Chart?
The Women did not understand, yet felt it sounded impressive.
Was that another name for the Dou Qi Continent?
The Azure Sky Chart actually possessed the power to interfere with time?
A Saint-Rank Peak Heavenly Sovereign could barely glimpse a corner of the River of Time, but could not step into it or influence it at all.
Unless one reached the legendary Dominator Realm, which only those acknowledged by the Azure Sky Chart had a chance to enter!?
The Women:?
What kind of realm was the Dominator Realm?
At that moment, Chu Xiao paused briefly to organize his thoughts.
Telling a story was like acting. First, you had to deceive yourself. You also had to make it immersive enough for others to believe it.
Little Yan Zi was still around, but he was no longer Xiao Yan, the transmigrator educated through nine years of compulsory schooling. Instead, he was more like Lin Dong from next door's beast-taming version. With Chu Xiao's own presence added to the mix, it was hard to say how the future would develop.
He might as well directly borrow Little Yan Zi's story, add in bits of Mu Chen's and Lin Dong's stories, then combine them with details he liked. That would become the "future."
Since others would see the diary's contents, he needed to consider their identities. Thus, he deliberately mentioned the Heavenly Evil God, who endangered the Great Thousand World, to shape a positive image for himself.
But that still was not enough.
I do not yet know the truth. The shattering of my true spirit left my future memories incomplete.
Fortunately, I obtained this diary after being reborn. As long as I record my life every day, I can recover some of my future memories. Perhaps this object was what brought about my rebirth?
Future memories will be an unimaginably precious fortune. The Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques and cultivation methods on the Dou Qi Continent, precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures such as Heavenly Flames—they are nothing at all.
"Gasp!"
The Women were all shaken to the core.
Regardless of their identities, status, or strength, they all understood the cultivation ranks and the grades of cultivation methods and Dou Techniques on the Dou Qi Continent.
One cultivated Dou Qi, condensed a qi vortex to become a Dou Zhe, then advanced through Dou Master, Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Huang, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Dou Saint, and Dou Emperor.
Dou Huang experts were already exceedingly rare in the Jia Ma Empire. Dou Zong experts could roam the Dou Qi Continent freely. Dou Zun experts were elusive, appearing only rarely, while Dou Saints had already become legends, let alone Dou Emperors.
As for Dou Techniques and cultivation methods, the entire Jia Ma Empire might not even be able to gather a single Low-Level Earth Grade Cultivation Method or Dou Technique. Even Dou Huang experts used High-Level Mysterious Grade Dou Techniques.
Heavenly Flames were supreme treasures that could make alchemists throughout the continent flock after them, and alchemists held an exceptionally lofty status on the continent.
Yet now, Chu Xiao claimed that even Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques, cultivation methods, and Heavenly Flames were nothing.
Was he delirious and spouting nonsense, or had he reached a height beyond their imagination in the future?
The next moment, they found the answer in the diary—provided that its contents were not fabricated.
The Great Thousand World was where planes converged and countless races stood side by side. It was originally made up of several thousand continents, but now only more than a thousand remained among the main planes, collectively known as the Great Thousand.
The main planes were connected to endless Lower Planes, and the Dou Qi Continent was one of them. At its peak ten thousand years ago, Dou Emperors emerged in great numbers, but its foundation was only comparable to that of a medium-sized continent. It could not even nurture an Earthly Sovereign, much less now, when it had been severely damaged in that battle against the Evil Clan and could no longer produce even a Dou Emperor comparable to the Sovereign Realm.
In the future, after successfully breaking through to Dou Emperor and entering the Great Thousand World, I brought my entire plane into ascension. I became the first Earthly Sovereign, then a Heavenly Sovereign, and even broke through to Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme. After rebuilding the Ancient Heavenly Palace, I guarded a territory bordering the Evil Clan.
As long as I restore those memories, I can become a Dou Emperor at a faster pace, open the plane passage, and soar all the way to Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme. I may even carve my true name onto the Azure Sky Chart and become the first immortal powerhouse of the Dominator Realm!
If the memories before my death were not so deeply etched into me, and if the trump card I gained only after breaking through to Dou Emperor were not still here, I would not dare believe any of this was real.
The Women:!!!
How terrifying!?
