The breeze was still and the waves were tranquil. The school was resting as it was being reorganized.

It had been seven days since the chaos that occurred at the school. During these past few days, the Holy Spirit Magic School became peaceful. The forces that originally wanted to attack the school remained silent.

In the end, what happened?

Why did the dragons, who invaded the Holy Spirit Magic School, become exterminated?

According to rumors, the head of the Holy Spirit Group, Long Shiyan, summoned the Great God of Radiance. While the Radiant God did not engage in the fight himself, all of the dragons that invaded the Holy Spirit Magic School were slaughtered.

The crisis at the Holy Spirit Magic School was over.

Moreover, after the event, the king of the Radiant Empire and the pope of the Radiant Church issued a declaration. If any nation dared to attack the Holy Spirit Magic School, they would destroy that nation at all costs.

Therefore, the various nations, who were going to cause a ruckus, quieted down one after another.

In fact, the reason why they remained silent was not that they feared the Radiant Church’s threats, but rather, they were afraid of Long Shiyan, who had just been promoted to the Saint-level. Furthermore, this girl could also summon the Radiant God. So who would ever dare to make a move on the school? 

In the past seven days, the Holy Spirit Magic School had been focusing on reconstruction. All of the members of the school were depressed and immensely hurt by the previous events. There were more than a thousand students who lost their lives within the school, which could be said to be the worst incident that had happened within a thousand years.

The death count of the teachers and members of the Holy Spirit Group, including all kinds of the school’s staff, was also awfully high. In particular, the Holy Spirit Group only had a dozen or so members left.

Leaving aside the matters involving Long Shiyan, what was Long Aotian’s current condition?

In a dismal underground palace, Long Aotian was tied onto a pillar of iron as he was being crucified. One could not deny the firmness of this iron column.

“Aaaahhh!!!”

Long Aotian screamed in agony. He was in front of a man with a tough and stocky build. This handsome and aggressive man clutched his head as black energy eroded into his mind.

“Aaaahhh!!!”

It was so painful that Long Aotian was unable to withstand it.

“This is really difficult!” The man knitted his brows. The level of the contract far exceeded his imagination. It was really difficult to take it out. It seemed that the only thing he could do was to extract a part of his soul.

First, he let go of Long Aotian and then sat cross-legged on the ground to recover.

“Who are you?” Long Aotian was extremely weakened. “What do you want from me?”

The man suddenly opened his eyes and smiled. “It seems that you are still persevering against me! If this is the case, then I will reluctantly inform you about my intentions! I want the inheritance in your mind, the memory that has been sealed, and information about obtaining the primal chaos inheritance.”

“In—Inheritance?”

“Yes.” The man stood up, reached out, and lifted Long Aotian’s chin. He sneered as he said, “You are really enviable. While you possess the inheritance, you don’t comprehend how high of a value it has. Although you may be confused by all of this, I will do anything to achieve the primal chaos.”

“What are you talking about; I don’t know anything about all that—”

“You don’t need to know!” The man gritted his silver-colored teeth and stared at him in indignance. “You don’t know how long I have waited for this day! Nor do you know how much Master likes you! The old thing is really hateful.”

“M—master?”

“Yes! Master!” Then, the man smiled. “Do you remember anything?”

“Is he the old man who made me cross into this world?” Long Aotian was not a fool; he carefully analyzed his repressed memories and remembered the one who let him cross into this world. The other party was extremely dubious as he offered Long Aotian unlimited benefits.

Was he Long Aotian’s original master?

“Yes, it’s him.” The man smiled very strangely. “He is the master of your previous life and my master. He is the greatest god in the world. As he is the god of the highest plane of existence, he is a very extraordinary person.”

“H—highest plane of existence…”

“In this vast and limitless world, I don’t know how many planes there are. These planes contain our homes and are the residence of the king of the heavens. He is the strongest in the world. His strength could be compared to the God who created this world.”

“What we are pursuing is to achieve primal chaos and breakthrough this plane of existence to enter the higher planes. After the third level of chaos, one could obtain power equal to our master’s.”

“Master is powerful and has many disciples, but no one has ever achieved the primal chaos. The master wants to go to the higher planes, but he can’t leave this realm, so he wanted to find a successor. However, this successor must also have the power of chaos.” The man paused and said, “Out of many disciples, only the best ones are selected. The inheritance ended up with ‘Long Aotian,’ giving him the chance to achieve primal chaos.”

“Ultimately, you became ‘Long Aotian,’ and I am just a substitute.” When it came to this topic, the man gritted his teeth. “The disciple who became ‘Long Aotian’ will be sent to other worlds by Master, but you always let the old man down. Every time you crossed over to a world, things never went as he wished, so Master had to constantly reincarnate you over and over again.

“This time, you became even more pitiful. You have encountered obstacles that you didn’t know would come. ‘That’ has always prevented you from doing miraculous things. Now, you are almost crippled, so Master asked me to replace you.” The man suddenly reached and grabbed Long Aotian. The corner of his lips evoked a strange smile. “But Master, that old man, does not know about this. I’m pretty much stirring up trouble.”

“What do you plan to do?” The pain caused fear to spread across Long Aotian’s face.

He did not fear death, instead, he was afraid that he would not be a man anymore.

This pervert, what was he going to do?

(TLN: I’ve seen too much hentai to know where this is going…just kidding. ( ‾ʖ̫‾))

“Actually, Master had already discovered the existence of that ‘doll’ early on. So he ordered me to come and protect you while killing her along the way. But in the end, I did nothing.” The corners of the man’s mouth formed a sneer.” Intuition tells me that if you fail, then I can replace you.”

“Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by Master?!” Long Aotian gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up to him.

“Discovered?” The man suddenly laughed heartily. “Although I don’t know why that’s the case, the old man can’t peek at the events happening within this world. He could only peer into the world as a last resort. Besides, it’s not like I didn’t do anything in this world. In the beginning, I tried to kill her, but who would have known that she was not there on the day my men attacked. My men did not kill her, but instead, the entire Long family was eradicated.”

“What?!” Long Aotian’s pupils shrank and glared at him with a shocked expression. “It’s you. Are you the one who massacred our Long family?”

“What? Are you dissatisfied?” The man frowned. “You are not the child of the Long family. You took over someone else’s body. So what if the Long family was slaughtered?”

“Bastard!” Long Aotian headbutted him and then frantically struggled.

“Heh, are you angry?” As the man was knocked back by Long Aotian, he patted his chest, or the area that was hit, as if he were dusting away something filthy away.

“You demon!” Long Aotian hysterically shouted.

“He, it seems that this rubbish became too immersed in his role.” The man walked over to him and punched him. With a stern voice, he stated “I will remind you! You are not a part of the Long family. You are simply an intruder who has occupied the body of one of their people!” He really couldn’t bear to see Long Aotian’s behavior as he let him go.

“Hehe, what’s that about an intruder?” Long Aotian suddenly smiled. “I didn’t voluntarily invade his body. Can you blame me? Moreover, he was already dead when I did. So now, I am a child of the Long family. Thanks to the Long family’s care, I received the warmth of family that I have never experienced before. But who would have known that the Long family would be completely destroyed, causing my warm home to abruptly disappear? I secretly vowed that I would look for the culprit at all costs and take revenge for those who were good to me.”

“Taking revenge?” The man acted as if this was the best joke he had ever heard.

Long Aotian did not pay attention to him and continued, “Now, my sister’s body is occupied by a fake Long Shiyan, and my aunt was killed by Long Shiyan. Only my brother, Long Pingtian, is left. My elder brother hasn’t accomplished anything yet. But I now want to kill Long Shiyan. Of course, this task is even harder than reaching the skies. And since you appeared, there is no way that I can die now!”

(TLN: “Even harder than reaching the skies” idiom meaning “extremely difficult”)

“What!?” The man took a few steps back.

A mad expression was visible within Long Aotian’s eyes as a colorful array suddenly appeared below his feet. The moment when a “bang” sounded, the rope that bound him was completely torn. Long Aotian reached out and grabbed the man by his collar as he punched him.

The man was struck and blown away to the main hall. Long Aotian pulled himself out of the iron pillar and charged towards the man. But the man was just a hand, and the iron column did not harm him at all.

“You almost gave me a heart attack!” The man chuckled. “As far as Master’s insight, I really fail to see why he would choose someone with no brains to be ‘Long Aotian’! You said that Long Shiyan was possessed by a fake Long Shiyan. Who told you this? That person is going to make me laugh to death.”

As he said that, he laughed while clutching his stomach.

“The white cat deity told me.” Long Aotian was at a loss. The white cat deity said that he was his master’s pet, and now, his master’s disciple was in front of him. They all had a relationship with his master, yet their words were contradictory.

“The white cat deity? Wahahaha!” The man laughed even more crazily, even tears flowed down his face.

When Long Aotian saw that the man couldn’t stop laughing, he couldn’t help but ask, “What? Am I wrong?”

“What white cat deity?! That guy is the will of this world. In order to make you deal with that unpredictable ‘doll,’ Long Shiyan, he deceived you! I’m laughing to death! You’re so stupid! I—I’m dying of laughter. Hahaha!” He laughed while clutching his stomach.

Long Aotian’s complexion changed. “I—Is what you’re saying true? But how can you explain the fact that Long Shiyan is a transmigrator? Furthermore, she hates me.”

“Tch, tch, tch, the one who possessed someone else’s body after coming to this world was you. Why wouldn’t she hate you? You are the enemy who killed her elder brother! This entire time, she has been suffering in silence!”

“W—what?!” Long Aotian took a few steps back. Could it be that when she said she was going to save her aunt, she really meant it? Did he stop her from saving her aunt? Was he their aunt’s true murderer?

How—how come?

“An opportunity!” When the man saw Long Aotian sink into despair, he immediately moved, grabbed his head, and then sent more black energy out.

“Aaah! Aaah!” Long Aotian had no time to resist and could only cry out in pain. This time, the pain was stronger than before, as if the man was stripping his soul. Also as if someone pried open his skull and then used a spoon to scoop out his brain as much as possible. 

In fact, Long Aotian and Long Shiyan had similar backgrounds. In the absence of memories of past lives, he was fatherless, motherless, and had no other relatives. After crossing over to this world, he regarded the Long family as his true family. This person, besides always thinking by using his “lower body,” was also a person with a strong sense of righteousness. The will of the world also made him deal with Long Shiyan. The will of the world didn’t act passively, but rather, it lied and said bad things about Long Shiyan.

And, it also said that if Long Shiyan did not die, then he would be unable to advance to the Saint realm.

Long Aotian was completely caught off-guard and deceived by the will of the world. From this, he received a large psychological shock.

It was without a doubt that the will of the world would do this to him. After all, Long Shiyan had always been fighting against it. If that continued, Long Aotian would become a “Long Feitian.”

(TLN: In “Long Feitian,” the character for “fei” means cripple/waste/trash. I couldn’t think of a good way to make the pun englishized.)

Long Aotian shouted in pain. He fainted and reawakened, and then he continued to faint. In the process of this muddle-headed state, a memory also hit him squarely. Under the assault of these two mental attacks, it was unknown how much pain he received.

This process lasted for one day and one night.

Ling Feng finally obtained the so-called inheritance, along with a part of Long Aotian’s soul. He swallowed the soul as all he had to do now was wait until it digested within his stomach.

He opened his eyes that were filled with elation and sized up at his own body that did not change in appearance. Then, he glanced at Long Aotian and slowly approached him. He squatted and patted his face. “Hehe, this piece of garbage is quite sturdy, isn’t he?!” ”

Long Aotian opened his eyes in exhaustion and said hard: “Y—you will regret this…”

Regret?

The man suddenly laughed: “I, Ling Feng, painstakingly used my all to get this treasure. I will regret this? You can really tell some amusing jokes. Forget it, I’m currently in a good mood. I don’t care about whether or not you fall in love or wherever you go in the future. If you can live through this, I’ll even grant you a gift out of pity.”

Long Aotian pitifully laid on his stomach on the ground. Where did his strength go?

At that moment, he had no protagonist halo anymore, so anyone could easily kill him. Not just that but his current serious injuries could possibly spell his death.

The man clapped his hands, beckoning several people in black to come over. Then, he harked, “Throw him out! The farther, the better.”

“Wait.” The man suddenly halted and then revealed a creepy smile. “You over there, turn him over. I still have something to do to him.”

“Yes.”

When Long Aotian was turned over, the man went over and stomped on his ‘family jewels’, crushing it into pieces. “Since you have already studied the ‘capturing goddesses method,’ I can’t leave this alone. I need to prevent you from ever rising again. What I want to see is your complete downfall. You can rest assured that I will become the new Long Aotian. One that’s better than you!”

Long Aotian had already fainted. Even when he was being trampled by that man, he did not wake up. It seemed that he was dying.

He didn’t care if Long Aotian could hear him or not. He laughed and said, “Starting today, you are not a man. You can enter the palace and have fun, but you shouldn’t restore something like the prophecy. This is permanent. Now, it’s completely flattened.” He sprinkled some medicine on it. Aside from stopping the bleeding, the medicine didn’t cure the wound.

Long Aotian was completely unaware of what was happening.

The man spoke to the two men once again, “Throw him out, but bear in mind, don’t take his life away nor injure him.”

“Yes.”

Two men in black dragged him away into the distance.

The man sat cross-legged and closed his eyes as he digested Long Aotian’s inheritance.

From now on, he was Long Aotian.
