After chatting for a while, their smiles faded.
The Casanova Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and said, “I know why you’ve come. Logically speaking, we are one person, and I shouldn’t make things difficult for you. However, there are rules and restrictions in all realms, and transactions must be fair.”
"How about this, you fulfill one of my last wishes, and I will entrust my destiny to you."
“I understand, but please feel free to speak.” Jiang Yan nodded.
"I made tremendous efforts, but I still died ten years later."
"I'm not reconciled." The Casanova Jiang Yan sighed softly, "So, I want to ask you to survive the 30th Abyss Trial and see what the future holds for me ten years from now."
[Ding! You from an unknown timeline have made a request: "Survive until the 30th Abyss Trial." In exchange, you will receive one of their destiny powers. Do you accept?]
Please note that failure to complete the request will result in karmic consequences.
"accept."
Jiang Yan did not hesitate.
The other party had no intention of making things difficult for me. If I couldn't complete the task, I would die in the trial, and the punishment would be meaningless.
[The contract is established. You have obtained a destiny, the first technique of the Divine Art of Three Lives, Rebirth, has been mastered by 20%. You are about to travel to the next unknown timeline.]
Seeing the notification, Jiang Yan clasped his hands in a fist salute to his other self: "If I conquer the abyss and achieve the highest level in the future, I will surely come to continue the possibilities of this world."
"We are one person, why say more? I'll wait for your good news." The Casanova Jiang Yan nodded with a smile.
The world before my eyes shattered into pieces, and in a half-dream, half-awake state, I returned to a familiar space.
Jiang Yan woke up and looked down.
This time it seems to be similar to his previous actions.
He also chose the SS-level talent "Final Awakening".
However, an unexpected situation occurred when selecting the dungeon; the easy-level dungeon "Perfect Response" was drawn.
The final awakened talent was also synchronized to a D-level primary enhancement, which increases the power of ordinary skills by 10%.
Fortunately, the trial was very simple, requiring the rational allocation of a composite unit and the simultaneous elimination of enemies attacking from different directions.
I passed the assessment with ease.
The following scenes fast-forwarded, and Jiang Yan looked at the various interface panels with practiced ease.
[You altered the difficulty of the assessment without authorization, which should have warranted a court-martial, but given your past conduct, the academy dean intervened and spared your life.]
During the first Abyss Riot, you encountered three roaming Blood Demons. You fought with all your might and killed one of them, but were then wiped out, your territory was destroyed, and you lost your lordship.
The Federation has used additional survival points to freeze the Abyss Passage you lost. After word got out, your junior classmates, who previously respected you, began to secretly criticize you.
Upon learning of your elimination, your childhood friend immediately came to comfort you, and, claiming to have a better class card, gifted you the Spirit Array Master card that his family had spent a great deal of money to prepare.
[In his haste to earn the extra survival points created by your presence, a Federation deity accepted an even more difficult reward mission, sustaining severe injuries in the process.]
Feeling guilty, you chose to reveal some information about the future to the dean of the academy.
With better preparation, more lords successfully completed the subsequent inter-realm assessments, and achieved even better results than before in the Abyss Trials.
[To protect you, no one knew it was your contribution. Instead, you became a negative example; everyone thought you chose the easy level assessment because you were afraid of dying.]
[Li Miaolin stood up for you, but her reputation suffered as a result, and she was secretly mocked for getting into the command department only because of family connections.]
The federal high command apologized for this, ordered a halt to malicious attacks against you, and promised you that you wouldn't have to enter the Abyss Battlefield. But there's been even more talk behind your back.
Left with no other choice, you began researching spirit arrays. With the aid of divine-level insight, you improved three commonly used spirit runes, which were then classified as top secret. Your reputation remained unchanged; only Li Miaolin steadfastly believed in you.
[In the tenth year, the Thirtieth Abyss Riot arrived as scheduled, and all the Federation's gods were annihilated.]
[The abyss rift eroded reality; you died.]
The scene sped up and stopped, and a somewhat weathered man appeared on the other side.
"What a frustrating and powerless life," Jiang Yan sighed softly.
"It's my own fault for not seizing the opportunities that fate gave me; I can't blame anyone else," the weathered man shook his head.
“I have burdened many people in my life, but I have tried my best to make up for it and I do not feel guilty. Only Miaolin, I am sorry to her.”
"I know why you've come. I only have one request to make."
"Although we are not from the same world, I hope you can at least ensure her safety for the rest of her life."
[Ding! You from an unknown timeline have made a request: "Guarantee Li Miaolin's lifelong safety." In exchange, you will gain one of her destiny's powers. Do you accept?]
"accept."
Jiang Yan looked up and said seriously, "This is what I should do. Similarly, I promise that if I have enough ability in the future, I will definitely return to this world and change my destiny."
"Hahaha, then I'll look forward to a great show of a loser's rise to power." The weathered man suddenly burst into laughter.
"Farewell."
[The contract is established. You have obtained a second destiny. The first technique of the Divine Art of Three Lives, Rebirth, has been mastered to 40%. You are about to travel to the next unknown timeline.]
The screen shattered, but the trial continued.
The third world, unlike the previous ones, is actually based on events that occurred in the previous life.
Ultimately, it matched Jiang Yan's memory: he was killed when the Abyss Demon God suddenly appeared and shattered his divine kingdom with a single slap.
His proposed exchange was that if the demon god reappeared in the thirtieth Abyss Trial, he would avenge him and kill it.
The fourth time, it was something that happened before my rebirth.
In that world, Jiang Yan was lucky enough to pass the Heroic-level dungeon and become a relatively powerful god.
He dedicated his entire life to fighting for his country until the thirtieth Abyss Trial, when he fell at the hands of the Demon God.
His proposed exchange was to ensure, as far as possible, that the Federation would not be wiped out by the Abyss.
After accepting it, the world changed once again, and Jiang Yan felt a slight sense of excitement.
So far, none of my different timelines have made things too difficult for me.
The mastery of the first technique of the Divine Art of Three Lives, Rebirth, has been increased to eighty percent.
At this rate, after experiencing one last world, I will be able to learn the basics of this supreme divine art.
As I pondered, the fifth world gradually took shape.
A world different from the one before appeared before my eyes.
It was a magnificent and splendid city. If different worlds were like pages in a book, this city would be like a staple that holds them together, connecting countless dimensions.
The transit point of all the heavens—the City of Freedom.
Wait, normally this is a place only demigods can go, unless...
This timeline shows the beginning of a career.
