Heaven's Will Continent, Luo Family Fortress.
The moonlight is as gentle as water, and all around falls into a profound silence.
"Swish!"
Luochen suddenly opens his eyes.
Looking at the environment which is strange yet familiar, his pale and sickly face is filled with astonishment.
"Have I been reborn?"
The astonishment in his expression gradually turns into joy, and a trace of a smile appears on Luochen's face.
In his past life, Luochen was merely an ordinary cowboy on the Heaven's Will Continent.
When he was eighteen, he accidentally acquired a peculiar skill, which incited the competition of the Nine Great Fight Sects.
In two years, whilst Luochen was on the run, he simultaneously cultivated this divine skill.
Nearly 4000 top-rated fighters from the Nine Great Fight Sects, were shockingly massacred by Luochen single-handedly.
Even the four Sect Leaders from the Nine Great Fight Sects died under his sword with resentment!
This matter shocked the entire continent:
What extraordinary skill could possibly turn a cowboy into an unbeatable "God of Killing" who single-handedly waged against the Nine Great Fight Sects?
Finding themselves in a quandary, the Nine Great Fight Sects were ultimately forced to join hands.
Enlisting their most elite core forces, they encircled Luo Chen tightly.
The bloody battle carried on for nine days and nights.
Luo Chen dispatched a great majority of his attackers, eventually draining his power, leading to his self-destruction.
That miraculous accomplishment disappeared together with him, turning into an everlasting legend...
"Surprisingly, I've been reborn into the body of this youth with the same surname and given name..."
Luojia Stockade is on the border of the Gale Nation, an encampment near a mountain.
It is unknown how many miles away it is from the region of Zhongzhou that is home to the Nine Grand Douzongs.
The boy that Luo Chen reincarnated into is a member of the Luojia Stockade.
A few days ago, Luo Chen hurried back to the Luojia Stockade from the "Qingyang Douzong" to participate in the annual clan meeting.
Unexpectedly, during a sparring session, he fell victim to the schemes of his rival Luo Feng, suffering severe internal injuries, resulting in the total loss of his cultivational achievements.
At last, amidst unceasing torment, his spirit shattered and he died.
At that exact moment.
The self-destructed "God of Killing" Luo Chen's spirit attached itself to him.
Memories from the two spirits conflicted and merged.
For several continuous days, the two spirits within his body clashed.
His mind was in a murk and he fell into a deep sleep, seemingly unrested.
Until this night, the memories of the two souls finally merged temporarily.
The merging of memories brought not only pain but a transformation of the soul itself!
In this dream, Luo Chen felt like he'd experienced two completely different lives.
He was a changed man, entirely unrecognizable:
Living two lives broadened his horizons and even profoundly matured his temperament.
Both the past life and the present have fortified his willpower, making it stronger than before!
Now, he appears like a fourteen-year-old on the surface.
But inside, he carries the mature soul of someone weather-beaten.
His eyes are deep, dark, like a deep pool.
They radiate wisdom far beyond his age.
It's worth mentioning that Luo Chen's memory seems mysteriously strengthened.
Even the many details and experiences of his previous life's cultivation have been vividly recalled, every bit brought to life.
"Central State, Nine Great Fighting Ancestors?"
"Mark my words, once I, Luo Chen, mature, I will annihilate all nine of your Douzong to avenge the grievances of my past life!"
All of a sudden, Luo Chen’s nose twitched slightly:
A strong aroma of alcohol rushed into the room.
He quickly lay down to feign sleep, but he stealthily opened a slit in his eyes to peek.
A towering figure of a man, swathed in the scent of alcohol, staggered into the room.
He appeared to be around thirty years old, with a persistent sorrow etched between his brows.
He bore a certain resemblance to Luo Chen, albeit not exactly identical.
Looking at the "still sleeping" Luo Chen, the haggard man whispered:
"Chen'er, it's your uncle who is incapable."
"I encountered an accident in the secret territory last time."
"As a result, not only did uncle's star soul break, becoming a good-for-nothing, your parents also disappeared while protecting our clan!"
"Now, you are being bullied by Luo Feng, that wolf cub, and your uncle has no power to protect you. I have let your parents down!"
Luo Ting pounded his chest heavily, his eyes filled with self-blame.
After a while, he let out a long sigh.
His body hunched, he trudged out of the room, each step an effort.
"Uncle."
The figure, massive as a mountain, suddenly trembled.
"Do you plan on continuing like this in despair?"
"Whoosh!"
Luo Ting's sturdy body abruptly turned around, his eyes shining:
"Chen, you...you are better!"
With a slight smile, Luo Chen's eyes twinkled with laughter:
"Yes, uncle, your nephew is completely healed."
The Luo Chen of the past, mediocre and weak, is dead now.
Let me, Luo Chen the God Slayer, be your dutiful nephew in the future.
Luo Chen's open smile left Luo Ting stunned.
Looking into his nephew's clear and bright eyes, Luo Ting had a sudden illusion:
Has his nephew's demeanor drastically changed?
Is this the same silly boy who used to muddle around in a daze?
"Dum dum dum!"
Luo Ting hastily took three steps as if they were two, rushing excitedly to Luo Chen's bedside to carefully check on him.
In his whole life, Luo Ting had never had offspring and had always regarded his nephew Luo Chen as his own child.
He seemed afraid of shattering his most precious treasure, scrutinizing Luo Chen thoroughly with circumspect eyes.
His throat bobbed up and down, as if a thousand words were lodged within.
"Chen'er! Are you hungry? Uncle will cook for you!"
"I want to eat the scallion and egg noodles that Uncle makes."
In his memory, the noodles made by his uncle were Luo Chen's favourite delicacy.
"Wait here!"
Luo Ting surged out of the room like a gust of wind, even forgetting to take his ever-present wine gourd with him.
In a room heavy with the pungent smell of alcohol, Luo Chen's mouth curled upwards at the corners, a silent chuckle slipping out:
"This frugal old uncle of mine is quite interesting, it seems."
As he laughed, however, the corners of Luo Chen's eyes grew slightly moist.
In his previous life, he had been utterly alone with no one to rely on.
No one had ever truly cared for him.
This has shaped his wild, untamed, and ruthlessly fierce character to the extreme.
So, is the feeling of being cared for this warm?
Luo Chen clenches his fists tightly.
As if he would clutch onto this hard-earned happiness tenaciously.
"In this world where the strong are revered, only by mastering great power can the happiness of one's family be protected."
"Without power, even trash like Luo Feng dares to bully our uncle and nephew."
A strong self-confidence flickers in Luo Chen's eyes.
The previous Luo Chen had average talents and lacked cultivation experience, hence was left far behind by his peers.
But now, he's not only more mature mentally but also more resolute in will.
Even his countless cultivation experiences from his past life sprung into his mind!
"This life, I shall become an unparalleled powerhouse, surpassing the pinnacle of martial arts!"
In response to Luo Chen's strong will, the remaining bit of residual spirit in his body began to grow weaker.
Eventually, two souls harmoniously coalesced perfectly together.
Suddenly, Luo Chen felt that his mental power had significantly increased.
But what surprised him more, his mind felt exceptionally clear.
Many questions that were once incomprehensible are now easily understood in a blink of an eye.
"Never would I have expected, the fusion of two souls has substantially strengthened my mental power."
"Even my martial arts talent has improved remarkably!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Chen's eyes.
And right at this moment.
Luo Chen vaguely realized that another extraordinarily delightful event had occurred:
"Boom!"
In the deepest part of Luo Chen's memory, a profoundly concealed mysterious item suddenly emitted a dazzling light...
