Ch. 1
The lights of Xuan City glittered like countless stars beneath the night sky.
Hovercars drifted silently between towering skyscrapers, their spiritual engines leaving streams of azure light across the heavens. For ordinary people, it was simply another peaceful evening.
Inside a high end apartment overlooking the city...
A girl suddenly opened her eyes.
"..."
Silence.
Her amber pupils trembled ever so slightly as she stared at the familiar ceiling.
The room was clean and elegantly furnished, blending modern luxury with subtle traces of cultivation civilization.
A wooden desk.
Stacks of high school textbooks.
A cultivation aptitude guide.
A calendar hanging on the wall.
Everything was so distant but painfully familiar.
The girl—Bai Ningxue—looked around the apartment. It was the home of her childhood. Though the memories of those distant years had long since faded into a blur, she still recognized every corner of it.
"...I'm..."
She slowly raised her pale hand.
Smooth.
Without the countless scars earned through centuries of battle.
Without the faint golden markings that represented the peak of humanity's supreme authority.
Without the immeasurable cultivation that once allowed her to suppress entire starfields with a thought.
"I'm… reborn?"
Her voice was soft.
Almost emotionless.
Yet beneath that calm exterior, her heart had already become a raging ocean.
She abruptly stood.
The mirror beside her wardrobe reflected a girl barely seventeen.
Long black hair cascaded down her waist.
Amber eyes, cold as winter.
Her features were still delicate, carrying the youthful beauty that had yet to mature into the peerless elegance that countless races once called the "Human Empress."
She touched her face, it was warm and alive. Not an illusion! She was truly reborn.
In her previous life she had awakened a Supreme talent.
From then on, she cultivated while absorbing spiritual qi and crushed everyone in her path, and with the stature of a Prodigy, she ascended to the peak of Martial Dao.
She thought she had reached the apex, but only after leaving the Xuan Civilization did she discover how vast the Universe truly was.
But using this as an opportunity, she also successfully stepped into the starry sky!
In the Universe, civilizations were as vast as smoke, and there were countless massive, ancient Legacy forces.
The Outer Universe, vast enough to contain countless civilizations and endless seas of Spiritual Qi, was merely an outer shell before the Inner Universe where Stellar Qi permeated heaven and earth, and there were even secluded blessed lands that were called Holy Lands.
The Dao was truly vast and boundless. Beyond the territories ruled by the great races lay forbidden domains untouched since the beginning of time.
The Xuan Civilization was only a newborn spark in the forgotten corners of the Outer Universe. As insignificant as a grain of sand upon an endless shore, few beyond its borders even knew of its existence.
And she!
After entering the starry sky, she continued her legend!
This was a once-in-a-millennium prosperous age of the Universe, where countless Prodigies walked out from ancient forces and Legacies.
After experiencing hardships and obstacles, she finally entered the Inner Universe and ascended to Emperor Realm, suppressed a corner, and together with nine other stunningly talented young Emperor Realm powerhouses, was collectively honored by the MyriadRealms as the 'Ten Zeniths'!
A Zenith!
This was a title that shook every corner of the Myriad Realms and even resounded in the Immortal Realm!
It meant she stood at the peak of her Dao!
They surpassed their Seniors, crushed the Prodigies of their generation, traversed the starry sky, and intimidated the Universe!
Their every word was enough to decide the life or death of a massive starry sky force!
They were the strongest of the young generation in the Universe, legends admired by billions!
Of course.
This was the glory of her previous life.
Reborn into this life, she needed to start over.
Whenever she thought of this, a trace of extreme coldness would flash in Bai Ningxue's eyes.
In her previous life... after becoming an Emperor, she had hoped to go to the next level, but she was betrayed by treacherous people and fell.
She swore.
When she returned, she would personally put an end to this matter!
"Hoo—" Bai Ningxue took a deep breath.
A few seconds later, having adjusted her state of mind,she had returned to calm.
"In the starry sky, the Legacies are long-standing, and there is no shortage of Prodigies who Cultivate while still in the womb before they are even born."
"It's a pity that the civilization level of the Xuan civilization is still too low having only gone through a spiritual awakening a thousand years ago. One can only perceive the Spiritual Qi around them and embark on the path of Cultivation at eighteen, after the human body's genes naturally perfect themselves."
"However..."
"It's only eighteen years!"
"To me, it's nothing."
"In my previous life, I could ascend to the Emperor Realm."
"In this life, I still can!"
But just at this moment, a notification sound suddenly came from her mind:
[Ding! Prodigy Comparison System binding… Binding successful!]
