Translator: Fate Proofreader: Silavin The Middle State was divided into eight domains, and the Central Sky Domain was the most prosperous among all as it held numerous Sects and factions. Within Central Sky Domain was Superior Dao Academy, also known as Academy of Pride. Superior Dao Academy was filled with prodigies and talents that came from different Sects. Basically, the youthful ones who managed to get into the academy were extraordinarily talented, and their futures were potentially marvelous. In fact, many leaders of holy lands and empires were alumni of Superior Dao Academy. However, in this instant, there’s an exception in the classroom. As the woman in gray was angered, her eyes grew colder and the atmosphere turned stiffer, as if she was filled with resentment. At the same time, many teenagers were also gazing at the young man, who was sleeping leaning against the table, with their condescending, indifferent eyes. “How is this trash accepted into Superior Dao Academy? His presence alone humiliates us!” “I know, right? He’s only in the same room with us because he’s from the Ancient Lin Family, and his sister is an elder in the academy.” “Elder Lin is so unfortunate to have such disgrace for a brother.” The teenagers gossipped softly as they turned over. Unquestionably, they were complaining about the young man—Lin Tian. Lin Tian was an infamous individual in Superior Dao Academy and the maternal brother of the woman in gray. Not only was his strength inferior, but he also never put effort in his daily life and was constantly dozing off during classes. In short, he was the scummiest among all scum. His sister, Lin Qiuhan, on the other hand, being the youngest and prettiest elder in Superior Dao Academy, was pursued by many, including the legends from various holy lands and empires who came to woo her, amazed by her boundless potential. In comparison, Lin Tian had more fame in the entire Superior Dao Academy. “Lin Tian…” Seeing the young man snoozing and snoring, the woman in gray raised her voice. Vexed, she hurriedly walked up to him. All of a sudden, the disturbance woke the young man up.” “Ah! Dissatisfied is My Highness!” He yelled before he raised his head, revealing the bafflement and daze in his eyes, as if he was still in his dreams. “Where am I? Who are you?” “‘My Highness,’ he said? Haha, what a joke!” “What did that trash dream of?” Mocking laughter surrounded him. As Lin Qiuhan was deeply enraged, her glowering grew even tenser. [Fine! He took a nap in my class and now he’s pretending not to know who I am? Even though I’m his sister, I can’t let him be so full of himself. I’ll have to teach him a lesson!” “Sky Blue Realm, Middle State, Central Sky Domain… Ah, so that it is…” At that moment, as if he was ignoring everyone else, he muttered in astonishment before his eyes gradually glowed up. [To think that even I, the God King of the Sky, gets to be reborn…] Indeed, Lin Tian was no longer the incompetent rascal. He was now the first God King of the Sky—a being so mighty it could split the sky in half. Nonetheless, during his ascension, he was met with a horrifying tear in spacetime, and passed away before he could reach the mythical Beyond. Fortunately, the heavens showed him mercy as they made him an indestructible cursed spirit that eventually achieved rebirth in the young man. Nevertheless, Lin Tian was somewhat bewildered. In his previous world, one had needed to break through to Enlightened King Realm before they could ascend to the mysterious Beyond, but seemingly, in the world of his current host, one in merely Partial-Enlightented Realm could already ascend to the Beyond. Thinking of that, Lin Tian subconsciously revealed a confident, smug look. [Getting belittled and ridiculed by my own family? I am the God King of the Sky, and it’s only a matter of time until they realize my worth and virtue. Admiring your own sister, but bears no courage to make her your own? Fret not, for My Highness is here to fulfill your desires!] As for the matter of bloodline, it was no issue for a being of his standard. “Lin Tian, what are you grinning at? If you fail to break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm this month, you will be kicked out of Superior Dao Academy. By then, even your family wouldn’t be able to help you.” Seeing how Lin Tian was still ignoring her, Lin Qiuhan frowned as her utterance grew stricter. Lin Tian’s birth was a result of concubinage. His mother was a servant that possessed poor talents, and her position in the Lin Family was atrocious as no one bothered to show her any respect. Despite that, she remained a kind woman and always cared for Lin Tian. Alas, Lin Tian wouldn’t recognize her, resulting in her disaffection. “How is the lowly Spiritual Sea Realm even an obstacle? I could break through to it in less than half a day,” Lin Tian faintly stated as insouciance and scorn surged in his eyes. [He’s unsalvageable.] In response, Lin Qiuhan shook her head while the students in the classroom burst out in laughter, thinking that Lin Tian had yet to wake up from his dream given how delusional he was. Regardless, Lin Tian was not affected nor was he upset. [I am the God King of the Sky. My visions are unimaginable by these puny teenagers. Prepare to be slapped by reality in a few days!] … Whoosh! The clouds dispersed as the winds raged. The extravagant, monumental flying ship flew in the sky. Under the graceful hue of sunrise, the ship quickly arrived at the territory of the Middle State. Gu Changge’s robe swayed as his dark hair flew in the winds. With his hands crossed behind his back, he looked down at the new territory. All of a sudden, a system notification in his mind left him stunned. [Ye Chen’s speedy decrease in Fortuity led to the rise of a new Fortuitous One? It seems I have a new toy to play with.] “Never had this old one expected to have the opportunity to return to the Middle State. It’s been over thirty thousand years. This old one wonders how his successors are living…” Courteously standing behind Gu Changge, Ming Lao expressed his sentiments as he peered at the unfamiliar, mountainous area and the vast woodlands. In thirty thousand years, waters were turned into fields whereas ancient cities were turned into ruin sites. He couldn’t help but reminisce about his past, wondering if his successors still lived. “Senior Ming Lao had ascended to the Beyond from Middle State?” Su Qingge was shocked as it was her first time hearing about it. She had always assumed that Ming Lao, like Gu Changge, was a being born and raised in the Beyond. “Yes, before the ascension, this old one had established the Lin Family,” Ming Lao said with a smile. Unknown to many, Ming Lao’s true family name was Lin.
