“If life is fleeting as a mayfly, how can one shake the heavens?”
At ninety-nine, Xiao Chen breathed his last in the bitter wind, still muttering this bitter, defiant question. In his lifetime, he went from “the useless son of the Xiao family” to a refugee who survived against all odds, but in the end, he could not escape an ordinary fate.
But death was not the end. It was the beginning.
The late-arriving Defy Fate System bound itself to him just as his soul was about to dissipate. The achievements of each lifetime could be exchanged for Defy Fate Points, which he could use to improve his talent, constitution, and family background, helping him defy the heavens with every step of his reincarnations.
Years flowed by, and reincarnation went on without end.
He had been an inconsequential young master and a general who fought on the battlefield. He had been a tragic prodigy who became a stepping stone for the chosen child of fate, and a peerless Sword God whose blade pierced the Ninth Heaven. He had been a mastermind who plotted across the ages, treating the world as his chessboard, and an Extreme Dao Emperor who ruled a forbidden zone for tens of thousands of years, intimidating the cosmos.
Body Tempering, Spirit Gathering, Spirit Runes, Spirit Sea... From mortal to emperor, he had seen countless peerless geniuses. He watched them blaze like meteors, only to vanish like fireworks.
“Let the fate of an Immortal Emperor make you invincible for one lifetime. How can it compare to my fate across countless lifetimes?”
Even a tiny spark can start a prairie fire. As Xiao Chen climbs the steps of countless reincarnations and ascends ever higher, those he once looked up to will either submit at his feet or turn to dust.
He will walk this path of defying the heavens to its end and find out who can truly shake the heavens!
