Waking Up for the Hundredth Time

Outer Battlefield, Third Battlefield, 016 Barracks Base.

Inside the detached villa numbered 08563245, in the massive master bedroom.

Ye Muxuan slowly opened his eyes, a trace of bewilderment and helplessness flashing through his clear pupils.

He lay quietly on the comfortable, soft bed, waiting for that familiar dream to arrive once again!

He was trapped in the same dream! He had almost forgotten whether this was the eighty-ninth, ninetieth, or hundredth time!

In the dream, he was born on a continent within a Universe Secret Region. On this continent with a diameter of a million kilometers, there were not only his tribal clansmen but also formidable Ferocious Beasts threatening their survival. As the legitimate son of the Mu Tribe leader, the Seventh Young Master Xuan had followed the elders of the tribe to hunt Ferocious Beasts since he was young, learning exquisite hunting techniques.

His tribe was named Mu, and according to custom, the Seventh Young Master Xuan was also called Muxuan.

Of course, this name only became his formal title after he survived countless hunts and successfully advanced to the Universe Rank!

As a Xuan who stepped into the Universe Rank in just a hundred years, he finally allowed the Mu tribe to enter the sight of the Council of Elders. The name Muxuan appeared on the Council of Elders' conference table for the first time!

Muxuan was the legitimate son of the Mu tribe leader, the Seventh Young Master, and the number one genius of the Mu tribe. However, in this Council of Elders, which gathered the geniuses of most human tribes across the entire continent, Muxuan was not particularly eye-catching!

But after nearly thirty percent of the thousands of geniuses fell one after another within a short hundred years, Muxuan, with the third-fastest cultivation speed among the remaining geniuses, advanced to the ninth stage of the Universe Rank in just three hundred years. A hundred years later, he emerged victorious from a life-and-death struggle against a Ferocious Beast, and shortly thereafter became a Domain Lord, setting a new record for the tribe's elders!

Advancing to Domain Lord just five hundred years after birth—this record was the newest one for all human cultivation on the continent within the secret region! Muxuan was even hailed as the number one genius of the tribal humans! He was also the youngest elder in the Council of Elders!

At this time, he was received by the Grand Elder of the Council of Elders!

The Grand Elder was a Mythical Rank figure who had guarded the tribal clansmen for over a million years! There was only one Grand Elder on the entire continent, but this single person suppressed the two strongest Ferocious Beasts on the continent! It was because of him that the humans were able to multiply and thrive!

From then on, Muxuan disappeared from the continent. No one knew where he went! All that remained was that golden record, displaying the traces of his past and his glory!

Of course, this was only the first half of Ye Muxuan's dream! As for the second half, Muxuan's life trajectory continued!

After accepting the Grand Elder's entrustment, Muxuan left the continent and the secret region alone, stepping into the universe starry sky. Over the next five hundred years, he killed space pirates and was hunted by them, saved people and was saved, encountered starry sky storms, survived near-death experiences, struggled to stay alive, and even had fortuitous encounters, obtaining treasures.

Five hundred years later, he successfully advanced to the ninth stage of the Domain Lord rank. At this moment, he finally entered the Outer Battlefield!

A ninth-stage Domain Lord was an Overlord in any star system, an existence akin to a local emperor, and could even establish a primary Universe Kingdom. But on the Outer Battlefield, this strength was only slightly stronger than the cannon fodder of the Universe Rank!

He was considered mid-level cannon fodder!

The most common beings on the Outer Battlefield were Domain Lords and World Lords! Even Immortals, while not visible everywhere, were certainly not few! And the Universe Rank was merely the threshold for entering the Outer Battlefield!

The Outer Battlefield offered many opportunities, and the effect of life-and-death tempering was excellent. When he first entered the Outer Battlefield, he naturally joined a human army led by an Immortal Deity. He witnessed with his own eyes several Universe Rank ninth-stage warriors stepping into the World Lord rank within a few thousand years! This was almost unimaginable in the outside world!

Joining the Outer Battlefield also had an excellent tempering effect on Muxuan. His talent was originally quite good, and even with the inheritance he cultivated in the tribe being only average, he had crossed into the Domain Lord rank in just five hundred years and became a ninth-stage Domain Lord in a thousand years. Now, with the life-and-death tempering of the Outer Battlefield, and the cultivation manuals that could be exchanged within the Military System as long as one had Military Merit, he successfully broke through the Domain Lord rank in just a hundred years, becoming a World Lord!

And in the following ten thousand years, he reached the peak of the World Lord rank!

But from World Lord to Immortal was the first solid threshold in the journey of cultivation. Only by becoming an Immortal could one truly ignore the passage of time and exist eternally!

After his military quota reached the requirement, Muxuan had already accumulated rich battlefield experience, and because of this, he chose to fight alone. In the nearly one hundred and twenty thousand years on the Outer Battlefield, he had spent almost one hundred thousand years coming and going alone. Yet, at the 016 Barracks Base, and even throughout the entire Third Battlefield, many World Lords and even some Immortals knew him, because he was a rare World Lord General among the millions of World Lords in this barracks base!

A World Lord who possessed the combat power to kill an Immortal!

It was already extremely difficult to defeat an Immortal head-on as a World Lord, and it was even harder to kill one!

Once, several elite squads led by peak Immortal Military Lords had invited Muxuan to join them, even offering him the status of deputy captain!

However, in the end, Muxuan refused them all!

In the more than one hundred thousand years of wandering alone, Muxuan had experienced thousands of life-and-death crises! He had witnessed groups of military warriors go from naive to mature, or retire, though most had fallen!

In the end, while Muxuan was competing with a Monster Race World Lord for a treasure worth 800,000 Hunyuan Units called "Star Gravel Sand," he was struck by a soul attack. Heaven knows why that Sky Wolf Race World Lord, who had always followed the path of a Fighter and was a peak World Lord with faint Immortal-level combat power, would actually use a soul attack!

Although he successfully killed the Sky Wolf World Lord in a desperate counterattack before dying, Muxuan fell into a near-death state. He used two "Life Fruit" treasures—known as the second life of a World Lord, capable of saving anyone no matter how severe the injury—but Muxuan still showed no signs of improvement!

Struggling to have his Intelligent Optical Brain return him to the barracks base and back to his assigned villa, Muxuan lost consciousness!

And then, Ye Muxuan was trapped in this consciousness, repeating it over and over again. He no longer knew how many times it had been.

From the initial suspicion, astonishment, excitement, and keen interest, to anticipation, and then to the subsequent confusion, oppression, resentment, bewilderment, and numbness, Ye Muxuan had forgotten how many times this had happened, and he could no longer fathom what the meaning of these endless, repetitive scenes was!

From Muxuan's birth to his final loss of consciousness, the time span was about one hundred and thirty thousand years. For this world, it was but a fleeting scene, and for Muxuan, a peak World Lord with a lifespan of tens of millions of years, even if it wasn't the blink of an eye, it certainly couldn't be considered long!
