Chapter 1: I, Lin Langtian!

East Xuan Continent, Great Yan Empire.  

Great Yan Province.  

Great Yan Province, known as the imperial Province of the Great Yan Empire.  

Within Great Yan Province, there are two main cities: the Imperial City and Lin City, the headquarters of one of the four great clans of the Great Yan Empire, the Lin Clan.

The Lin Clan is one of the top powers in the Great Yan Empire, not only possessing countless experts but also Nirvana stage powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the empire!

As the headquarters of the Lin Clan, Lin City is located in a prosperous area, its wealth ranking among the top in the empire.  

At the very center of Lin City lies the core area of the family, where only direct descendants or high-ranking elders reside, all of them affluent and powerful.

At this moment, in a room within the core area, a young man struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and a luxurious and splendid room appeared before his eyes.  

This unfamiliar scene startled the young man, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.  

"I... Wasn't I hit by that woman driver? How did I end up here? Wait, my browser history..."  

As he thought of this, a look of terror appeared on his face. 

But before he could continue to ponder, a sharp pain surged through his mind, causing him to faint again.

Time slowly passed, and when the young man regained consciousness, a flood of unfamiliar memories slowly seeped into his mind...  

"This is Lin City in the Great Yan Empire, and I am... Lin Langtian?"  

Upon receiving the name of his new identity, the young man was stunned. 

Then, as if realizing something, a look of shock spread across his face.  

Without hesitation, he stood up, walked to the table, and looked at himself in the mirror.

In the mirror, the young man had a handsome and upright face, wearing a green robe with long, flowing hair, giving him an air of freedom and elegance. 

His appearance was far superior to any celebrity from his previous life.  

"I really became Lin Langtian?"  

Seeing himself in the mirror, the young man's expression kept changing, and then he let out a sigh.  

In his previous life, he was named Lin Lang, just one character different from Lin Langtian. He was a college student about to graduate, struggling daily to find a good job.  

But then, he was hit by a woman driver while crossing the street, and to make matters worse, his browser history hadn’t been cleared.  

Not only did he lose his life, but his reputation might have been destroyed as well.

"Wait, the Great Yan Empire... and Lin Langtian... Could it be that I've ended up in the Great Thousand World?"  

After lamenting his fate, Lin Langtian suddenly realized something, and his expression grew even more bitter.  

In his previous life, he was an avid reader of novels, often sacrificing sleep to read, which led to his academic decline. Naturally, he had read the second part of the famous "Potato Trilogy."  

He was no stranger to the name Lin Langtian, who was born in the Lin Clan of the Great Yan Empire, not only the most brilliant genius in the clan but also the leader of the younger generation in the Great Yan Empire.  

Unfortunately, Lin Langtian was arrogant, cold, and selfish, crippling Lin Xiao at a clan gathering, which led to him becoming Lin Dong's enemy and the driving force behind Lin Dong’s cultivation journey.

"Who would have thought that I would become Lin Langtian, the lifelong enemy of the protagonist?" Lin Langtian muttered bitterly.  

At this moment, no one could have imagined that in a remote town of the Great Yan Empire, a young master from a small family who was not favored would become the future famous Martial Ancestor!  

The Martial Ancestor, the second powerhouse in the East Xuan Continent, and the first local-born powerhouse to step into the Great Thousand World!

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian’s mood grew even more depressed.  

He knew that Lin Dong was the protagonist of the East Xuan Continent, a heaven-favored child like the Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, who overcame countless obstacles and rapidly ascended to power, following the classic protagonist template.  

Moreover, after arriving in the Great Thousand World, Lin Dong quickly grew to become a pinnacle powerhouse, becoming a giant in the Great Thousand World, a true ruthless character.  

And as for Lin Langtian, he was merely a small antagonist in Lin Dong’s growth journey, a pitiful role.

"Maybe, before Lin Dong grows stronger, I should just..."  

Familiarizing himself with the situation, Lin Langtian's eyes flickered with a cold light, and a ruthless expression appeared on his face.  

Though he had admired Lin Dong in his previous life, especially that phrase "strengthen my Dao Sect," which had ignited the passion of countless men, now that he had become Lin Dong’s enemy, the feeling was like a thorn in his side.  

Facing an opponent like the protagonist, whose fortuitous encounters and growth speed were beyond ordinary expectations, was truly terrifying.  

If he didn’t eliminate Lin Dong before he grew strong, he might be hunted down and ultimately suffer a miserable fate.  

Moreover, Lin Dong had probably already obtained that stone talisman by now.

The stone talisman, which should be called the Ancestral Stone, was ranked second on the East Xuan Continent’s Ancient Divine Item List, second only to the Dimension Fetus, a truly priceless treasure.  

The stone talisman played a significant role in Lin Dong’s rise, and within it was also the young master of the Celestial Demon Marten, a tremendous help!  

Lin Langtian considered himself to be an outstanding genius within his clan and the entire empire, but on a continent-wide scale, he was still too insignificant.  

However, with the Ancestral Stone’s power and the help of the young master of the Celestial Demon Marten, he might be able to replicate Lin Dong’s path to some extent.  

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian was tempted. But despite his inner urges, he was still hesitant about whether to kill Lin Dong.  

If it were Tang San instead of Lin Dong, Lin Langtian would have acted without hesitation, as the former was a hypocritical and cunning character deserving of death.  

But Lin Dong was an upright and determined man, earning him much goodwill. 

Lin Langtian, although not a saint, was not someone who would kill the innocent for his own gain.  

Moreover, Lin Langtian knew that the East Xuan Continent was not entirely safe.  

If Lin Dong were to die because of him, and he himself did not reach the Ancestor Realm in the future, then when the Yimo Emperor invaded the continent, the entire continent, including himself, would perish. 

It would only delay his death by a few years.  

Thus, there was no need to be the source of such a disaster.

As Lin Langtian hesitated, a bright and ethereal cry suddenly echoed in his mind.  

Chirp!

The cry wasn’t loud, but it struck Lin Langtian like a lightning bolt, causing his entire body to stiffen, and a buzzing sound echoed in his head.  

Boom!  

As Lin Langtian's mind was overwhelmed by the cry, he suddenly noticed something shocking.  

Waves of scorching and noble energy suddenly emerged from within him, rushing straight to his mind. 

Then, new information appeared in his consciousness!  

A Nine Netherworld Bird?!  

This situation left Lin Langtian stunned, his body instantly freezing, and his eyes filled with surprise.  

My cheat ability has arrived!
