(The previous text has been revised to show that Li Tian's clan is fleeing from within the universe, in order to fit the subsequent plot.)
Chu Xiao staggered out of the cave where he had slept for tens of thousands of years, but suddenly stopped at a certain corner.
There, a strange, eight-colored plant was swaying gently.
The strange plant has nine segments, but the last segment is colorless and transparent, with only a tiny speck of condensed light adorning its tip.
"Nine Deaths Resurrection Grass! This is Nine Deaths Resurrection Grass that's about to mature!" Chu Xiao exclaimed in shock.
Finally, he erupted in ecstasy: "I never expected this! I never expected that Heaven would be on my side, granting me such an opportunity!"
He sat down cross-legged in front of the Nine Deaths Resurrection Grass: "Judging from its quality, this peerless herb will mature in exactly three days. The medicinal power will rapidly diminish after the Nine Deaths Resurrection Grass matures, and it's all thanks to my timely awakening."
He curled his lips into a cold smile: "Is this the heavens and earth conspiring to help this emperor regain his glory and be reborn as an immortal?"
[You, standing to the side, munching on some gossip: "You really were chosen by fate."]
However, compared to someone like Bei Chenguang who only wants a peaceful life, being chosen by fate might be more beneficial for Chu Xiao.
Otherwise, he might never wake up from this dream, or several hundred years later, the giant beast deep within the earth might ascend to the 35th level of the Heavenly Realm, then kill and devour the severely injured Chu Xiao.
[The giant beast was still unharmed, and Chu Xiao, who was still weakened and hadn't yet consumed the Nine Deaths Resurrection Herb, probably couldn't even defeat someone at the tenth level of the Heavenly Realm.]
[But if he had that kind of luck, he could awaken over these thousands of years, successfully take revenge, ultimately kill the adulterous couple, and become an immortal.]
Although he died shortly after becoming an immortal, at least he completed his revenge and comprehended the mysteries of the Spring and Autumn Period's supreme ruler, which is far better than being severely injured, falling into a deep sleep, or dying midway.
Of the ten chosen ones, Chu Xiao probably benefited the most. His fate, which should have ended in death, was forcibly rewritten—a classic case of "I give you a life, then take it away."
[Secondly, there's Xiao Yelin. Like Chu Xiao, if he lacked luck, he wouldn't have met Nangong Meng and would have been a complete waste of time his entire life.]
[While others also encountered hardship, they turned their fortunes around through sheer luck and became winners in life... but their hardships were probably also brought about by luck.]
[Let's take the classic North Star as an example.]
If they hadn't been chosen by that destiny, the Otherworldly Demons might never have descended upon the Cloud Realm, and wouldn't have brought those calamities.
[In this simulation, Jiang Yueli will not die due to an accident, forcing him to desperately pursue the highest path of cultivation in an attempt to salvage everything.]
[The same applies to other chosen ones born in the last few millennia.]
Without that luck urging them on like a death knell, without that luck forcibly creating various hardships to temper their will and force them to move forward, the other lucky ones could have lived very well.
Even if one cannot become an immortal, there's no need to suffer so much, only to be killed in the end anyway.
[Li Tian, who comes from within the universe, will not have his family killed. He will live, grow, marry, and have children like an ordinary young man.]
[Zhang Fan will not have his Ten Divine Beast Bloodlines extracted by his junior sister. He will be a consistently overpowered winner in life. Since his divine beast bloodlines are not extracted and his divine human bloodline cannot awaken, he will become an extremely outstanding sixth-realm emperor. However, his hope of advancing to the seventh realm will be slim.]
[Xiangyang might have perished in the battle due to an accident, or his mother might not have died then. Under his gentle mother's care, he would have focused on his studies and never developed any interest in combat.]
[You haven't met many other chosen ones yet; these are the few you know of so far.]
The tragedy that befell Chu Xiao occurred more than 70,000 years ago. His suffering stemmed from the unpredictability of life, not from some twist of fate.
[You even wondered, what if Bai He hadn't let fate automatically choose Chu Xiao, but instead had actively sought him out for a deal: "I'll give you a chance to rise, to take revenge and ascend to immortality, but your end will be death a thousand years from now."]
[In that case, Chu Xiao might not only agree, but she might even have to thank Bai He!]
Three days later, Chu Xiao consumed the Nine Deaths Resurrection Grass, recovering to full health. He immediately began cultivating again, without even using his spiritual power to probe the lower realm before starting.
Otherwise, one might discover a colossal beast slumbering in this lower, blue planet.
"All sorts of coincidences, just to make you miss this point, right?"
"It was also to make it easier to add more scenes for the Return to Earth arc later on. Otherwise, after he regained his strength, he could easily find and kill that 34th Heaven in its rebuilt state."
Are you sure you haven't paid any attention to Chu Xiao since he woke up? You haven't fully explored this world yet; there's no need to keep following him around.
However, starting today, Earth has become quite lively.
Within the Dragon Kingdom, the venerable Celestial Master, who had slumbered for 300 years, suddenly awakens, causing a stir on Dragon Tiger Mountain. The mountain gates are opened to true cultivators, allowing Taoist disciples to descend.
A 200-year-old "Buddha reincarnation" from the Lizard Kingdom opened his eyes: "Spread the true lineage of Buddhism and invade the Central Plains!"
"What the hell is this Lizard Kingdom?!"
"And I am the true successor of the Buddhist lineage!"
[The Eagle Nation's latest research has achieved an epic breakthrough in the field of cyborg-modified warriors: "Hmph, it's time to make the world fear the number one nation on Earth once again!"]
[The seal on the evil spirit that the Great Onmyoji had suppressed in the Chicken Kingdom a thousand years ago has been accidentally loosened: "Abe no Seimei, the blood feud you have suppressed for a thousand years, I will surely avenge myself on your most outstanding descendant!"]
"I've already heard that your descendant has achieved great success and become the prime minister of a country!"
"I will possess and command the mountain clans outside the shrine's seal, severing your bloodline!"
"???"
In the Bear Kingdom, a werewolf in Siberia howled at the moon: "Potatoes! The potatoes we dug up back then are all gone! We need more potatoes!"
A great era has arrived, extraordinary beings are manifesting on Earth, ghosts and monsters are appearing, and all sorts of extraordinary individuals are beginning to roam the world.
You, on the other hand, experience it from the perspective of an ordinary person.
[I heard rumors of haunted properties nearby, and that a martial arts tournament was taking place in a small town, where masters were beating people up like paintings.]
[In City Y, thunder and lightning surged, and some citizens seemed to have seen a figure walking through the air and riding on lightning.]
Members of the world's top assassin organization, "Blood Luo," mocked on the dark web, saying, "No mercenaries in China? We're coming."
A feng shui master from Hong Kong was defeated in a duel.
