Chapter 1 Rebirth in Another World Section 1 Reborn in a Different World
In the midst of chaos, I don't know how long it took, but I regained consciousness. Upon introspection, I was dismayed to discover that I had lost my physical body and existed only as a primordial spirit attached to the Seven-Colored Heavenly Ling. The Heavenly Ling had shrunk significantly and could barely maintain my primordial spirit from dispersing due to its depleted spiritual energy. The place I found myself in was a massive, circular passageway with countless points of light, all slowly drifting towards one end of the tunnel. These points of light emitted faint life essences, and I realized where I was - the "Reincarnation Passageway". Reflecting on our final battle, that massive explosion must have shattered spatial barriers. The two treasures imbued with automatic protection consciousness carried our primordial spirits into the opened spatial rift, avoiding the external blast, and brought us here. Suddenly, a familiar aura emerged, and I was overjoyed to discover that the Supreme Soul Stone floated not far from me, emitting Athena's aura! She had also attached her primordial spirit to the stone, just like me! Unfortunately, we couldn't communicate, but I vowed to find you! Wait for me!
The Grand Marshal of the Great Han Kingdom, Duke Long Xiao Tian, paced anxiously outside the delivery room door. His fifth child was about to be born, but his heart was filled with worry rather than joy. The reason was that his wife was a delicate and frail spirit person, whose physical condition had deteriorated after giving birth to four children. This time, she had accidentally become pregnant again, and everyone in the family had advised her not to give birth, but she still managed to persuade her husband and father-in-law with her maternal instincts. When she finally gave birth to the child with all her might, she was exhausted to the point of collapse, but when she didn't hear the baby's cry, she loudly asked: "How is the child? Quickly let me see!"
I'm doing great, feeling the joy of rebirth as I observe this unfamiliar world. The first thing that catches my eye is a woman in her 40s with blonde hair and yellow eyes... Wait, I was born abroad! Then I'm placed in front of my mother, who has shoulder-length green hair, sky-blue eyes, a beautiful face, and pointed ears... Pointed ears? What kind of human is this? A fox spirit? No, she doesn't have any demonic energy, but rather a natural energy flowing through her body. It's strange that her life force is so weak, like an old person on their last breath. She looks like she only has a few days left. This won't do; I don't want to be a motherless child.
In my haste, I quickly check my own body and find it to be that of a normal infant, with the same energy as my mother flowing through me. On my left wrist is a striped birthmark, which should be the Seven-Colored Heavenly Sword and the Buddha's Golden Lotus combined. There's also an image of a sword and a lotus flower on the birthmark.
My original spirit is currently merging with this physical body, and the last bit of spiritual energy from my previous life is slowly dissipating. What a waste! I quickly take advantage of feeding time to convert this last bit of spiritual energy into vital energy and transfer it into my mother's body.
Good, at least for the next few years, my mother will be fine. Once I've rebuilt my cultivation, I can use the medicinal pellets stored in the Golden Lotus to completely cure her!
"Dear, how are you?" A robust man burst in and grasped his mother's hand, asking anxiously.
"I'm fine, everything is great!" The mother smiled: "Come and see our son!"
"He's really lovely, just a bit too thin. Doesn't seem like the type to lead an army into battle!" His father said with some regret: "But I didn't hear him cry at all?"
"I don't know, but he's definitely not mute, I can feel it. Besides, I've already given birth to four outstanding generals for you, and this child is going to inherit my magical legacy. He's absolutely a super genius in the magical world, because I can already sense the fluctuations of natural magic within him." The mother proudly said to the father.
"Really? It's great! Our dragon family finally has a magician!" Father laughed and said, "I'll go tell father to be happy too."
"It's okay, I've heard it all!" An old voice came: "Iliya, you have made too great a contribution to our Long family! Thank you, old man!"
"You're too kind, Father," Mother smiled: "It's all I should do."
At this moment, I finally lifted my head from my mother's chest and looked at my family. The first thing that caught my eye was my father, who scared me a bit. He was 2 meters 40 centimeters tall, with a robust body like a bear, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a neat olive green military uniform with a sword at his waist, exuding a typical military demeanor. He stood behind an old man sitting in a wheelchair, who was also very burly, with a face similar to my father's, with a resolute expression, looking like a double amputee but still unyielding.
I understood everything they said because the author stipulated that all characters in this parallel world must speak Mandarin!~~~~
"Ilya, our 'Super Genius of the Magical World', what heights will you reach in the future?" Grandfather asked with a smile.
Magic, I understand. Magician, I know. Nana is one, but I still want to be a Taoist. Although I have learned a lot of magic knowledge from Nana in my memory, I don't like this physically weak profession very much. However, ordinary people can do magic, and with the strange race of my mother, I know that I have come to another strange world. Never mind, as long as Nana and I are together, everything is easy to say!
"Father, the phenomenon of having magical fluctuations at birth does not exist in humans, and it is also rare among elves. As a princess of the elven tribe, my own magical fluctuations at birth were not as strong as his. It's likely that his achievements in magic will surpass mine." Mother smiled.
"That's to say, at the very least, he's got the makings of a great wizard! Well done, you've worked hard, take a good rest now. I'll invite all our relatives and friends for a grand feast on his 100th day! Let those old folks know that our Dragon family has produced a magician too! Haha, haha!" Grandfather laughed loudly as he walked away.
Time flies, and in these 100 days, I've been eavesdropping on others' conversations, slowly figuring out some things about this world. The place I'm in is a kingdom called the Great Han Kingdom, with 39 provinces, where the king and my father are both over 50 years old. Due to the abundance of spiritual energy, people's average lifespan is around 150 years, and some cultivators can live for hundreds of years without issue. The kingdom has five major families: our Dragon family is in charge of the Qinglong and Zhuque armies, the Shi Yuan family is in charge of finance and the Xuanwu army, the Wei Ke family is responsible for foreign trade and diplomacy, the Te Er family is in charge of mining and manufacturing, and the Ka Rui Si family is in charge of the Baihu army and the judiciary. They are all ancient families that have followed the Ai De Hua royal family for hundreds of years, and the rest of the smaller families rely on these five families to exist. The king controls the 150-strong Royal Guard, stationed in the capital city of Sai Te, while the other four field armies each have 500,000 soldiers guarding the four directions. To the east is my father's Qinglong army, facing off against the Kote Kingdom; to the west is my uncle's Zhuque army defending against the brutal sand thieves of the Western Desert; to the south is Ka Te * Ka Rui Si's Baihu army facing off against the Wana Kingdom; and to the north is Shi Yuan Ta Lang's Xuanwu army facing off against the four northern lords. My father has three brothers and one sister, two uncles who have already died in battle, and my aunt is the current queen. I also have four older brothers: my eldest brother is 14 years old, Dragon Qingfeng; my second brother is 13 years old, Dragon Qingyu; my third and fourth brothers are twins, 12 years old, Dragon Qinglei and Dragon Qinglei; and since they've all taken the names of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, my father had no choice but to name me Dragon Qingtian. Haha, what a ridiculous name! Our Dragon family has produced generations of famous generals, and my father is actually one of the four great generals on the entire Holy Continent... although he's the worst of the four. My father's ability to command in battle is mediocre at best, but our Dragon family's martial skills are extremely powerful, with our family's signature technique, the Dragon Fighting Energy, being one of the top two on the continent. The Qinglong army is composed entirely of Dragon family members, making it an extremely powerful force, and my father became the youngest Dragon Sword Saint in history at the age of 40 after defeating the Flower Sword Saint Ka Da. He's generally unbeatable in battle. Ten years ago, during the War of Defense, he led our kingdom to victory against all odds under his command, and was officially recognized as one of the four great generals, although he's still the worst of the four. I have a strange sense of pride about this. By the way, on the Holy Continent, there are hundreds of countries with a population of tens of billions, and only ten Sword Saints exist. To become a Sword Saint, all you need to do is defeat any one of them.
Under such a glorious family background, my hundred-day banquet was quite luxurious. The king and queen came, the king is just an ordinary middle-aged foreigner with yellow hair, a drunkard's face, looks like he's not very clever, but not a fool either. My queen aunt has a kind face, but the sharp light in her eyes makes me certain that she's a formidable figure. There's also an important person, the Archbishop of the Church of Light in the Great Han Kingdom, Stone Original Middle Bear, who wants to baptize me, huh, I'm not interested! I have a deep-seated grudge against the Birdman Jesus, and this archbishop has the same aura as him, superficially righteous but actually sinister and cunning. If it weren't for the fact that the Church of Light's influence spans the entire continent, I wouldn't be able to mess with them right now, I would definitely use my "little water gun" to shoot him in the face! After being tormented by a group of noblewomen for an entire morning, I finally got to rest. My mother fed me milk and handed me over to the nanny, who put me in a rocking cradle by the window and cooed me to sleep. Of course, I wasn't sleeping, I was cultivating my Supreme Divine Technique! The spiritual energy in this world is very abundant, and the cultivation of the Supreme Divine Technique is going very smoothly. I've already converted the natural magical energy within my body into the spiritual power of Taoism, laying a solid foundation for my Supreme Divine Technique. I believe that in twenty years, my Supreme Divine Technique will be able to achieve small success, which was previously a hundred-year achievement! In the past, when I exchanged knowledge with Athena, I learned a lot of magical knowledge from her and combined it with Taoism to create the new Taoist method of the Five Elements God Thunder. I discovered that using Taoism to mimic the principles of magic to control elemental energy can also release magic, without the need for incantations, as long as there is enough spiritual power to control it. The power is slightly weaker, but the control is stronger. In this world, I naturally cannot reveal the secrets of Taoism, but I can disguise myself as a magician, haha, thinking about this makes me laugh out loud. The nanny standing beside me suddenly heard my laughter and was taken aback at first, then jumped up excitedly, "Heavens, young master has laughed out loud, the Light God blesses, young master is not mute!"
I fainted~~~~~
