So, You're a Reincarnator, Aren't You?

Xue Wuyou's expression turned utterly terrified in that instant.

It's over!

His greatest secret, the foundation upon which he had returned after reincarnation, the trump card he believed would let him seize the initiative in this Golden Age, was about to be exposed by the Blood Sea Ancestor right in front of Chen Changqing.

"Shut up!"

Xue Wuyou's eyes brimmed with panic and fury.

He had never imagined that this ancestor, normally so lofty and arrogant, would humble himself so completely just to stay alive—even offering up Xue Wuyou's deepest secret to the enemy as a token of allegiance.

"Ancestor, have you lost your mind?!"

Xue Wuyou glared fiercely at the Blood Sea Ancestor, his voice trembling. "How could you..."

"Shut up!"

The Blood Sea Ancestor backhanded him through the air, sending Xue Wuyou flying. Half his face swelled high at once.

"If it had not been for you, you wretched brat, sweet-talking and deceiving me, why would I have provoked a colossal force like the Chen Family?"

"My Blood God Palace's ten-thousand-year foundation was nearly destroyed by you alone, and you still have the nerve to speak here?"

After cursing him out, the Blood Sea Ancestor hurriedly turned back. His face once more piled high with a fawning smile as he repeatedly kowtowed to Chen Changqing and Chen Haotian.

"My lord, senior, this was truly this boy's fault alone!"

"He said he could dream of the future, foresee fortune and disaster, and witness great events that had yet to occur."

"At first, this old man did not believe in such mysterious things. But this boy's predictions came true time and time again..."

"He once predicted that Cangwu Ditian's Supreme Bone would undergo a second awakening. This old man had scoffed at it, yet half a month later, news came from the Cangwu Ancient Clan that Cangwu Ditian had indeed awakened a second time and obtained another Supreme Treasure Art."

"He also predicted that the Primordial Dragon Nest would soon enter the world. Before half a month had passed, dragon roars shook the heavens, and that dragon genius with a perfect Ancestral Dragon Bloodline declared that he would enter the world to challenge every genius."

"He also predicted the opening times of numerous secret realms, accurate down to the very day and hour."

"One time might be coincidence, two times might be luck—but three, four, five times? This old man had no choice but to believe!"

Tears and snot streamed down the Blood Sea Ancestor's face. There was no trace left of the dignity of a ninth-level Saint Emperor Realm mighty figure; he looked exactly like a slippery old fox desperate to cast off the blame.

"So when he said that the Lin Family's daughter of fortune would one day destroy my Blood God Palace, although this old man did not wish to believe that a lowly force could destroy the Blood God Palace, I was still bewitched by evil and believed his nonsense. I chose to mobilize the entire sect, hoping to nip the disaster in the bud..."

"If I had known that the Lin Family had ties with the Chen Family—with you, my lord—then even if this old man had been given ten thousand times the courage, I would never have dared touch a single hair on the Lin Family!"

As he spoke, he heavily kowtowed several more times.

"My lord, see clearly! Everything Xue Wuyou said was utter nonsense, completely upside down!"

"This old man is willing to lead the entire Blood God Palace in submitting to the Chen Family. From this day forth, we shall look to the Chen Family as the horse's head, with no second thoughts!"

"I only beg my lord to show mercy and spare this old man's life!"

The Blood Sea Ancestor had utterly cast aside the bearing of a Saint Emperor Realm expert, seeking only to preserve his life.

Ancestor Chen Haotian stood to the side, his brows rising higher and higher.

Foreseeing the future?

Dreaming of events that had yet to happen?

Even he, a ninth-level Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse, had never heard of such an inconceivable ability.

If such a method truly existed, then Xue Wuyou's strategic value was likely anything but ordinary.

Should they keep him?

At that thought.

Ancestor Chen Haotian instinctively looked toward Chen Changqing, only to find the latter's expression as tranquil as water. Yet within those deep eyes, vast as chaos itself, a faint trace of nearly imperceptible interest had surfaced.

"Dreaming of the future?"

Chen Changqing spoke calmly, his gaze falling upon Xue Wuyou, who lay limp on the ground.

His tone was soft, as though he were speaking to himself, yet also as though he were confirming something.

"Interesting."

As someone who had once loved web novels, he knew more than everyone present combined.

Reincarnation stories, future-foresight stories, transmigration stories... to him, no matter how bizarre something was, it was all perfectly "reasonable."

After all, he himself was a living example.

He had transmigrated into this world with a Chaos Body and the Chaos Azure Lotus, then unlocked the Dao Ancestor's Blessing. His comprehension doubled every day, and after sleeping for a million years, he had even comprehended a Divine Ability Method capable of overturning the entire cultivation system.

If he could encounter such fortunes, why could no one else?

Only—

If his guess was correct, Xue Wuyou was most likely a reincarnator.

The other man's golden finger could never have been future foresight.

Because if he could foresee the future, he would certainly have known today's outcome. Why would he have rashly stepped into the Purple Star Domain?

Only if he were a reincarnator could he know certain things about the future, while butterfly effects arising afterward caused deviations from the original course of events and led to failure.

Moreover, judging from Xue Wuyou's reactions in this life, before his reincarnation, he had likely suffered greatly at the hands of Lin Yue Ru, this so-called daughter of fortune.

Otherwise—

Why would a first-rate force with a ninth-level Saint Emperor Realm mighty figure overseeing it mobilize its entire strength to destroy a long-declined third-rate family?

And why would they dispatch three Saint King Realm mighty figures merely to hunt down Lin Yue Ru, who was only in the Transcendent Realm?

Xue Wuyou had clearly been scared out of his wits by the memories of his previous life. He wanted to pull out the weeds and destroy the roots in advance, no matter the cost.

He had even proactively revealed certain "secrets" in order to win the Blood Sea Ancestor's trust.

What a pity.

No matter how carefully he calculated, he had not accounted for the fact that after dispatching the Blood God Palace's experts to openly encircle and suppress the Lin Family, Lin Yue Ru would instead be forced to flee near the Purple Star Domain—nor had he expected her to run into Chen Changqing.

This was probably what they called the butterfly effect.

Or perhaps it was the manifestation of the heaven-defying great fortune possessed by a "daughter of fortune" like Lin Yue Ru.

But no matter what.

Xue Wuyou's actions had already shown that killing a daughter of fortune favored by destiny was troublesome even for a reincarnator!

"My lord, it isn't like that..."

Xue Wuyou struggled to speak, to explain, to deny it.

But when he met Chen Changqing's eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through every secret in the world, all his words caught in his throat. He could not utter a single one.

A powerful instinct rose within him.

Before this man, every lie was meaningless.

Chen Changqing looked at him. The corners of his lips curved upward slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Heh heh..."

"Don't worry. I know he's talking nonsense. You cannot foresee the future!"

At those words, Xue Wuyou's expression relaxed. It seemed the other party did not believe in something as "illusory" as foreseeing the future.

But the very next second!

All color drained completely from his face, and an unprecedented terror filled his eyes.

"So, you're a reincarnator, aren't you?"

Chen Changqing smiled leisurely and spoke in an indifferent voice.

The instant those words fell.

The entire scene fell silent!
