From the Start, Reborn as an Immortal Emperor: Ascend? I’ll Buy the Heavenly Dao

The peerless Immortal Emperor Zhan Tian, Ye Zhantian, had been invincible for all eternity.

The divine souls of three lifetimes merged into one. From the start, he shattered Heaven's seven-day life-and-death trap, and all the myriad paths of the heavens lay in his grasp.

Since ancient times, a saying had circulated in the Guixu Realm: Beneath the Heavenly Secrets Stele, no one can become a true immortal.

Only when trapped in a deadly predicament did he glimpse the truth: It was never that no one could become a true immortal. The so-called ascension was never transcendence, but a conspiracy by a higher-dimensional civilization.

Betrayed and destroyed in a conspiracy, the remnant soul of the Immortal Emperor possessed Xiao Wu, the good-for-nothing third young master of the Xiao family.

He was beset by people trying to forcefully buy his family property, then publicly and coldly rejected by his fiancée.

Amid such utter humiliation, two trump cards awakened at once:

One was the ultimate creation built by Ma Tengyun, Blue Star's richest man, top hacker, and technology fanatic: the Myriad Things Return to Ruin Engine, along with his technological knowledge and memories.

The other was a wisp of the complete soul, experience, and battle spirit of the Immortal Emperor Zhan Tian, peerlessly invincible for all eternity across both the immortal and divine realms, hailed as the greatest in all the worlds.

Who could have guessed that the Seven-Colored Legend would appear? From then on, code became his blade, letting him analyze all things and exploit loopholes in the laws. Capital became his game piece, letting him buy out the Heavenly Dao and reshape the order of the myriad heavens. And all this was backed by his invincible bearing, undefeated for all eternity.

Others cultivated bitterly for a thousand years, crawling beneath the Heavenly Dao, just for a single chance to ascend.

He, however, would reshape the cultivation system, rewrite the rules of the Heavenly Dao, acquire the rights to the myriad heavens piece by piece, and shatter the shackles of cultivation to give cultivators true freedom.

As cultivators across the heavens knelt and begged the Heavenly Dao for mercy, he stood atop the peak of Guixu, his voice carrying across all worlds:

"Ascend? Hmph! I'm going to buy out the Heavenly Dao."

"The entire cosmic sea will belong to me."

"Everyone says the return of all things to ruin is the end."

"Little do they know, all creation under heaven will ultimately return to Xiao, and begin anew..."
