Chapter One: Reborn in the Perfect World as the Elder Brother of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor

Perfect World, Stone Village.

On a vast open field, a group of children ranging from five or six to their early teens were training their bodies.

Each child was robust and muscular; to them, hefting a stone weighing dozens of pounds was as effortless as waving a twig.

“My child is only six and can already lift a hundred-pound stone. He’ll surely be extraordinary when he grows up!”

“My kid is even more impressive! He managed to draw the rhinoceros sinew bow, something only adults can handle. That bow requires at least five hundred pounds of force—when he’s a bit older, he’ll be able to hunt fierce beasts with it!”

After their meals, the villagers would gather to watch the children exercise, occasionally boasting about their own offspring.

Everyone believed their child was remarkable.

Suddenly, the ground trembled and dust billowed as a bronze cauldron was thrown onto the earth!

“The little one has lifted the bronze cauldron!”

A cry of astonishment drew everyone’s attention.

Turning toward the sound, they saw a bronze cauldron, adorned with carvings of birds and beasts, hovering in midair, weighing over a thousand pounds!

Looking closer, it wasn’t floating; beneath the cauldron, a small child was holding it up.

The little one, restricted by his height, couldn’t grasp the ears of the cauldron like others. Instead, he squatted beneath it, propping it up with his body.

“My goodness, this cauldron weighs a thousand pounds! Da Zhuang can barely lift it, and he’s already nine years old. But the little one is just three!”

“Incredible! The strength of his body rivals the young of ancient relic species!”

Exclamations erupted among the crowd.

Shi Jian followed their gaze, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

“No wonder he’s my Wild Heaven Emperor—so formidable at just three years old…”

To lift a thousand-pound bronze cauldron at the age of three—such talent was terrifying.

“Luckily, I have my own cheat; otherwise, I wouldn’t last a moment in this Perfect World…”

Shi Jian thought to himself.

He wasn’t originally from this world; he was a traveler from another realm.

Arriving here, Shi Jian felt his scalp tingle.

The Otherworld, the dark beings, the Immortal Emperor of Corpses, the beings above the heavens, the ten great ancestors of the plateau…

Just imagining the terrifying villains of this world was enough to induce fear.

Though the Wild Heaven Emperor would one day dominate all ages, for now, he was still a toddler, the milk stains at the corners of his mouth not yet wiped clean.

Such a Wild Heaven Emperor, Shi Jian found it hard to feel any sense of security from him.

Moreover, since both were orphans, Shi Jian and Shi Hao shared a stone house, and their bond was extraordinary.

How could Shi Jian bear to let Shi Hao continue down that lonely, bitter path to invincibility?

He wanted to help Shi Hao.

Under normal circumstances, even knowing the future wouldn’t be enough to assist Shi Hao.

For what Shi Hao faced were not mere schemes, but an “Darkness” that had shrouded this world for countless epochs.

Any machinations were meaningless before those villains of absolute power.

The Immortal King An Lan, the Three Emperors of the Vast Sky, the Elder Who Ends Worlds, the Dark Immortal Emperor…

None of these monsters could be defeated simply by knowing the plot.

To break through, only absolute strength would suffice.

Even with Shi Hao’s terrifying talent and potential, his journey was fraught with hardship—let alone Shi Jian.

Fortunately, Shi Jian carried a cheat with him; otherwise, he’d have no idea what to do.

Shi Jian’s cheat was called the “Library of All Heavens.”

Within this library, everything across the myriad worlds could be recorded.

The scope included, but was not limited to, cultivation techniques, talent, physiques, treasures…

Shi Jian possessed the power to load these recorded items.

To put it simply, if the Library recorded the Heavy Eyes, Shi Jian could use them!

This was the foundation of Shi Jian’s confidence to help Shi Hao.

Even if his talent was not on par with Shi Hao’s, he could rely on the Library to record everything about him.

Even if he ended up a lesser version of the Wild Heaven Emperor, it was still better than letting him face everything alone.

“Too bad, there’s nothing worth recording from Shi Hao yet!”

Shi Jian couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

Shi Hao was still just a toddler.

No cultivation technique, no physique, no treasure…

There was nothing for Shi Jian to copy.

Without having endured countless hardships, the little child was still rather ordinary.

“Liushen, though, has things worth copying… Liushen’s Method, True Phoenix Method—these are top-tier techniques!”

“But the Library requires me to witness the cultivation or display of a technique firsthand… And Liushen spends most of the time in slumber—there’s hardly an opportunity!”

Shi Jian sighed.

The divine arts were right before him, yet unattainable.

What could be more frustrating?

All he could do was turn his gaze once more to the little child, praying for him to grow quickly.

As Shi Jian pondered, a sudden voice sounded in his ear.

[All Heavens and Worlds Chat and Support Group Activated]

[Shi Jian, Fang Han, Xiao Yan, Yang Qi, Meng Qi, Lin Dong have joined the chat group]

[This group is dedicated to fostering friendly exchanges between different worlds, breaking the barriers between dimensions. Congratulations on becoming beta members!]

[The beta period lasts one year. Afterward, group members may vote to select an administrator!]

[Supervised by the River Crab God. Please get along harmoniously; no fighting is allowed. Violators will be forcibly removed from the group.]

Shi Jian was stunned by the voice in his ear.

Wasn’t he the protagonist of a fanfic? How did he become the lead in a chat group genre?

Looking at the names of the members, Shi Jian couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

He felt like a lamb among wolves in this crowd.

[You may begin chatting now!]

After the final electronic tone, there was a brief silence, then voices began to sound again.

[Xiao Yan: “This is unbelievable. Has Ma Daddy’s business expanded to all the heavens and worlds? There’s a chat group now?”]

[Meng Qi @ Xiao Yan: “Bro, give the secret code—King covers earth tiger?”]

[Xiao Yan: “Pagoda suppresses river demon. Are you a fellow earthling?”]

[Meng Qi: “I was watching the World Cup, then suddenly crossed over—my soul, at that, and I have no memory of this world at all…”]

[Xiao Yan: “I was reborn, crossed over as a baby, been here for more than ten years, and memories of home are fading…”]

As the saying goes, when countrymen meet, tears fill their eyes.

Both Xiao Yan and Meng Qi came from the ancestral star and were not unfamiliar with the concept of a chat group.

Though they didn’t know where it originated, they quickly struck up a conversation.

The others observed cautiously.

Shi Jian considered for a moment and joined the chat.
