Chapter 1: Chapter 1 : The Ancestral God
In a place filled with Chaotic Energy, a magnificent Golden Palace stood firmly amidst the storm of Chaos Energy.
Inside one of its chambers, there was an extraordinarily beautiful woman with golden hair and a perfect figure for a woman—one that could make every other woman in the universe envious and jealous.
She was the embodiment of perfection, without the slightest flaw, exuding a holy aura that made it feel as though the entire universe existed solely to worship her.
"It seems there are still a few hundred years before that child is born. It's such a pity that the child won't have the Chaos Bloodline," the woman murmured to herself, as if she were gazing into the future.
"Should I summon a soul from that place instead?" Before she could finish her thought, she felt the presence of a weak soul fragment approaching her abode. With a wave of her hand, the soul fragment appeared before her.
"I didn't expect to encounter a soul from that place, and this soul has an extremely high affinity with Chaos itself. It seems far more intriguing to choose this one rather than wait for a baby that won't be born for several years," she suddenly smiled.
"How interesting, this little man has read numerous novels and comics about cultivation worlds, making it easier for him to adapt after reincarnation," she mused, as if studying a new toy.
"Alright, little boy, I'll give you a gift before sending you off, and I'll place you near the home of a girl with the Sacred Spirit Medicine Body, before that perverted old man gets to her," she chuckled at her own plan.
With a smile, the woman kissed the weak soul before her, and gradually, the once fragile soul began to grow stronger.
"Hehe... I can't wait to see you grow up and become powerful. Here is the gift I promised you." A golden light appeared in her hand, and she fused it with the soul in front of her.
Time passed slowly as the woman watched over the golden light. Day after day, year after year, she never looked away.
"It's finally done." It had taken one hundred years to fully merge the soul with the gift she had given.
Before her stood a five-year-old boy with an adorably handsome face, snow-white skin smooth as jade, glossy black hair, and bright blue eyes.
One could easily imagine that when this boy grew up, he would captivate women wherever he went.
"Thank you for giving me the chance to reincarnate," the boy said, bowing toward the golden light in front of him. Although he couldn't see her, he was certain the figure behind the light was a woman.
"Enjoy your new life. It's time for me to send you off now," the woman said with a smile, gazing at the little boy before her.
"Could you give me a name? And... may I hug you before I leave?" the boy suddenly asked, looking at the light with puppy-like eyes.
"Uhh..." The woman felt an overwhelming urge to embrace the little boy and keep him for herself, for he was simply too adorable. However, she restrained herself, diverting her focus to thinking of a name that suited him.
"From now on, your name is Shen Xiang. What do you think?" She believed it was the perfect name for the little boy.
"Thank you for giving me this name. I really like it," Shen Xiang said as he walked toward the light. When he reached it, he immediately hugged it.
As Shen Xiang embraced the light, he felt an overwhelming peace in both his body and mind, as if he were in a mother's loving arms.
The woman said nothing but gently stroked Shen Xiang's head. She savored this moment deeply, having lived for an unimaginably long time and endured the loneliness of residing at the edge of the universe, surrounded by Chaotic Energy.
Shen Xiang, on the other hand, greedily inhaled the fragrance of the woman in front of him, as though wanting to commit her scent to memory forever. Time seemed to stop as he held her, unsure how long had passed, but he felt it was enough and didn't want to trouble her further.
"Thank you. Will we meet again?" Shen Xiang asked reluctantly as he let go of his embrace.
"Perhaps. It's time for you to leave now. Live your life as you wish, and if you grow strong enough, you might be able to meet me again in the future," she said, offering advice before waving her hand, causing Shen Xiang to disappear.
"Hehe... It's time to leave this place. I'll follow that boy wherever he goes because waiting here is too boring," the woman said with excitement, looking forward to meeting Shen Xiang again.
"Let me change my appearance first; I don't want Shen Xiang to know my true identity just yet." From a divine figure, the woman transformed into a fairy-like being.
"Who would have thought that Shizu Shen, who has long been the Ancestral God, would play such a role just to relieve her boredom?" She giggled, eager to begin her new adventure.
"I suppose I'll have to apologize in the future for sealing part of Shen Xiang's memories of our meeting. But it's for his own good," Shizu Shen said as she vanished along with her palace, leaving only the Chaotic Energy behind.
