"Suppose you could time travel to become Xiao Yan in the Battle Through the Heavens world, with the following seven Golden Fingers to choose three from, how would you choose?"

"One, an Emperor-Grade Elixir (Note: after choosing this, it will be placed in a mysterious space and you can retrieve it at any time)."

"Two, an Emperor-Realm Soul. After time-traveling, you will obtain an Emperor-Realm Soul, but you will be unable to continue improving it."

"Three, a Portable Space. After time-traveling, you will obtain a portable space. The space will upgrade as your realm advances and will always remain three major realms higher than you. Within the space, you are invincible."

"Four, all Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking (Note: after choosing this, they will be placed in a mysterious space and you can retrieve them at any time)."

"Five, the Myriad Flame Emperor Physique. A physique identical to the Calamity Poison Body—naturally close to flames, immune to fire-type damage, and capable of upgrading by absorbing flames."

"Six, soul talent maxed out. There are no obstacles to breaking through soul realms; things will happen naturally when conditions are met."

"Seven, the Vajra Saint Body. Your physical body can upgrade through dual cultivation with the opposite sex, and you can copy the bloodlines and physiques of the opposite sex, and so on."

In Blue Star, in midsummer, Xiao Yan lay on the sofa, blowing the air conditioner, drinking iced cola, crossing his legs, and comfortably browsing Douyin.

His feed was also well-trained; out of ten videos, ninety-nine percent were beautiful women, and all of them were top-tier bombshells.

After browsing for a while, his Supreme Bone was already beginning to stir.

Xiao Yan took out another phone, plugged in his earphones, and opened a mysterious website.

Then, the phone lagged, and a multiple-choice question appeared on the screen.

"I'm not getting poisoned, am I?"

Xiao Yan muttered offhandedly.

He wasn't afraid of poisoning either, because this phone had no contacts and was not bound to any bank card; he wasn't panicked in the least.

When he looked closely at the multiple-choice question that appeared on the phone, he was suddenly startled, and even his Supreme Bone went soft.

No one knew that he had a secret in his heart: he was a time traveler who had crossed over from Earth to Blue Star.

And in the Blue Star world, there was no such novel as Battle Through the Heavens.

Xiao Yan had crossed over to Blue Star for five or six years. He had plagiarized three novels: Douluo Continent, Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, and Swallowed Star. Because his memory had not been enhanced and his own writing skills were subpar, he had squandered these three masterpieces and only managed to scrape together an LV5 rank.

"I'm not going to time-travel again, am I?"

Xiao Yan had already traveled through time once, and now the novel Battle Through the Heavens—which did not exist in this world—had appeared on his phone, forcing him to view the situation with cautious suspicion.

He sat up from the sofa, looked closely at the text on the screen, and read it seriously.

"If I really do time-travel again, will I travel through time to become Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

Afterward, he looked at the seven Golden Fingers.

"I want every single Golden Finger. Can I just choose all of them?"

Xiao Yan looked at the seven Golden Fingers. Each one was extremely powerful and he wanted them all, but he was only allowed to choose three out of the seven, leaving him hesitant and unable to decide.

Seemingly sensing Xiao Yan's hesitation, a one-minute countdown actually appeared on the phone screen.

59, 58, 57...

Xiao Yan immediately grew anxious, breaking out in a sweat all over.

Although he had read the novel Battle Through the Heavens, because his memory of it was too distant, he didn't remember much of the plot.

This was also the reason why he hadn't plagiarized this novel first.

"Emperor-Grade Elixirs all possess sentience. The Emperor-Grade Prototype Elixir that appeared in the book possessed formidable strength and could simultaneously withstand the joint attacks of several nine-star Battle Saints. Although consuming an Emperor-Grade Elixir allows one to become a Battle Emperor, that is still a matter for after reaching the Battle Saint stage. Pass!"

"If I choose the Emperor-Realm Soul, I'm afraid that the moment he travels through time to Wutan City, the entire city will be flattened to the ground, and furthermore, the upper limit is locked solid. Do not choose!"

"A portable space that can even upgrade, and I'm invincible inside the space? Keep it for now."

"All Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking? Keep it."

"The Myriad Flame Emperor Physique: immune to fire-type damage and upgrades by absorbing flames? This is a match made in heaven with the Flame Mantra, and what's more, I'm afraid of pain. Keep this one too."

"Soul talent maxed out, no obstacles in breaking through soul realms. This is good, keep it, keep it."

"The Vajra Saint Body: physical body upgrades through dual cultivation, and can even copy the bloodlines and physiques of the opposite sex? This is good. What dual cultivation? I just have a hobby of body refining, that's all."

Xiao Yan quickly analyzed them, then found that there were five Golden Fingers he wanted to choose, watching as the countdown dwindled.

His heart pounded like thunder, and beads of sweat as big as peas slid down his face. Gritting his teeth, in the final three seconds of the countdown, he quickly checked three options.

As the countdown hit zero, Xiao Yan's vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness, collapsing onto the sofa.

The phone screen finally stopped lagging and entered a mysterious website—domestic, Japanese, Korean, European, and American...

The Xiao Household back courtyard.

At night, the moonlight was bright and clean, draping all things in a layer of silver clothes.

Xiao Yan finished washing up and had just lain down on the bed to prepare for sleep.

Suddenly, a massive amount of memories poured into his mind.

Being bombarded by a vast quantity of memories caused an expression of extreme pain to appear on Xiao Yan's face.

I don't know how long it had passed before the memory shock finally stopped. By this time, Xiao Yan was drenched in sweat all over and his face was pale.

"I am Xiao Yan? I really did time-travel?"

For a long time, Xiao Yan muttered softly, feeling it was utterly incredible.

As it turned out, after Xiao Yan made his choices on Blue Star, he lost consciousness.

His soul had traveled through time to the Battle Qi Continent, becoming a fetus, and within the fetus's body there had been another soul.

Because Xiao Yan's soul was relatively powerful, he had ended up swallowing the other soul.

Afterward, Xiao Yan also fell into a deep sleep, only awakening just now.

True to the saying: once past-life wisdom is awakened, only today is one's true self seen.

Xiao Yan was somewhat excited and jumped out of bed, but didn't expect his head to be dizzy and his legs to go soft, nearly causing him to drop to his knees.

He grabbed the edge of the bed to support his body, rested for quite a while, and only then recovered.

Shaking his dizzy head, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Shit, my phone isn't locked! If someone sees it, my reputation will be completely ruined."

He only then remembered that after submitting the multiple-choice questions, his vision went black and he lost consciousness—his phone wasn't locked!

Time-traveling was fine and all, but he still wanted to leave his purity in the mortal world.

"Forget it, anyway I was an orphan on Blue Star too. If I lose face, I lose face."

"I'd better think about how to get by in the Battle Qi Continent from now on."

Xiao Yan recalled the memories in his mind, pondering which plot time period he was currently in.

He was currently fifteen years old, and his experiences over the first fifteen years were about the same as the plot in the original work.

He began cultivating at age four, reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi at age ten, and advanced to a Dou Practitioner at age eleven.

From age twelve to fifteen, he dropped from a Dou Practitioner... all the way down to the third stage of Dou Qi.

"Didn't Father say over at the back mountains just now that an honored guest is arriving tomorrow?"

"Holy crap, it's Nalan Yanran coming to annul the engagement!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but massage his forehead. Why hadn't he awakened a bit earlier? Right now he was only at the third stage of Dou Qi, so he couldn't act tough.

If he had awakened his past-life wisdom a bit earlier, he definitely would have laid his cards on the table with Medicine Elder sooner. His Dou Qi realm could have been higher too, and he could have learned some high-tier Dou Techniques.

That way he could have directly defeated Nalan Yanran when she came to annul the engagement, without having to wait for any three-year period.

"Right, what about the three Golden Fingers I chose?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan remembered the three Golden Fingers he had selected; they hadn't appeared in his memories of the past fifteen years.

They wouldn't be gone, would they?

Right at that moment, Xiao Yan's body shook, and three strange sensations descended upon his physique.

The three Golden Fingers he had chosen had arrived.

Portable Space.

Myriad Flame Emperor Physique.

Vajra Saint Body.
