Back in the City: Starting by Protecting My Daughter

After five hundred years traversing the cosmos, Ling Chen, revered as the Immortal Venerable Who Crosses Tribulations, was struck by a backlash from his inner demon at the final moment of his breakthrough to the Divine Realm. His cultivation collapsed, and his soul was destroyed.

Yet the Heavenly Dao turns in cycles. He returned to Blue Star five hundred years in the past, to the starting point of a life filled with humiliation and regret.

In his previous life, he was ignorant and lost, cast out by his family and scorned by everyone around him. Only after wasting half his life did he chance upon an opportunity and embark on the path of cultivation, but by then, he had also missed the most important person in his life.

In this life, the Immortal Venerable has returned. Peerless techniques, secret arts, alchemy, formations, and countless divine abilities are all in his mind.

But Ling Chen discovers that his greatest power is neither the ability to overturn rivers and seas nor to kill with a flick of his finger.

It is the tiny figure in an incubator at the hospital: a child born because of him, with a congenital meridian disorder and a life hanging by a thread.

“Niannian...”

As he softly speaks her name, five hundred years of pride and aloofness come crashing down.

In this life, he seeks neither immortality nor the great Dao.

I, Ling Chen, only want to be a good father.

If gods stand in my way, I’ll slay them. If demons stand in my way, I’ll destroy them!

Whoever dares lay a finger on my daughter, I’ll annihilate their soul and make sure they can never be reborn!
