Chapter 1 Reborn

An airplane was flying peacefully in the sky. There were passengers of diverse appearances inside. Some were quietly napping, and some were chatting in low voices. Fang Xin, who was among those napping, is an insurance salesman. At this moment, he had just completed a big contract and was on his way to another city to do some sales work, exhausted.

Thud! A bird crashed into the left side of the aircraft nose, and the airplane suddenly lost its balance. The passengers on the aircraft instantly lost their cool, and screams spread through the plane.

As the airplane plummeted, Fang Xin sighed and said, I haven’t even bought insurance yet...

The aircraft was getting closer and closer to the ground, and Fang Xin gradually lost consciousness.

Yang Tian’s Great World. In a dense and vast forest, there was a gigantic nest perched on a towering tree. On the tree was an enormous bird, over 10 meters in height. The gigantic bird was gazing intently at the bird egg in front of him.

Ka... cha... The egg slowly cracked, and a fuzzy little bird head emerged first. The so-called little bird head was in comparison to the gigantic bird head; this newly hatched little bird head could be described as tiny, but it was still about the size of an ordinary adult eagle, which was incredibly shocking.

The little bird gradually struggled out of the eggshell. This little bird had a hint of bewilderment and surprise in its eyes. That’s right, bewilderment and surprise, expressions that typically do not belong to birds.

This bird was Fang Xin. At this moment, shock filled Fang Xin’s heart. He looked at the towering, 100-meter forest before him and subconsciously muttered, Oh, man, but what came out of his mouth transformed into ji. Fang Xin looked at his own arm, but realized that his arm had transformed into a wing. He looked at his feet, but found that his feet had transformed into talons. He had now become a bird. At this time, Fang Xin was thinking: I’m so screwed...

The gigantic bird watched the newly hatched little bird—Fang Xin—and chirped a few times, but to Fang Xin, it sounded like the word, son, and moreover, it sounded like a woman’s voice. Fang Xin thought to himself, How can I understand bird language? Have I become able to understand birds now that I’ve become one myself? Could this ridiculously large bird be my mother? Fang Xin’s mind was racing.

Fang Xin gazed blankly at his bird mother, not knowing what he should say. The gigantic bird looked at Fang Xin’s blank expression and cried, Ji ji ji ji, which sounded like Son, what’s wrong with you? Why are you staring at your mother like that? Your mother has been waiting for so long, and you’re finally born. You should eat your eggshell now.

After listening to his bird mother, Fang Xin turned his head to look at the broken eggshells around him. He chirped and said to his bird mother, Can I eat these eggshells? Why should I eat these eggshells?

These eggshells are part of your father’s and mother’s essence, energy, and our bloodline inheritance. Eating them will be beneficial to your growth, his bird mother explained to Fang Xin.

After listening to his bird mother, Fang Xin wondered in his heart, what is essence? Do birds also have their own bloodline inheritances? After thinking for a while, Fang Xin still couldn’t comprehend his current situation.

Fang Xin raised his head and saw his bird mother’s loving gaze upon him. There wasn’t much change in the gigantic bird’s appearance, but Fang Xin could feel her love in his heart.

Fang Xin shook his head and thought, I won’t think about those things that I can’t figure out for now. Since my bird mother said that these eggshells are good for me, then I’ll just eat them.

Ka ka, Fang Xin used his beak to pick up a small piece of eggshell and chewed it. As it turned out, the eggshell had an intoxicatingly rich aroma when chewed. After eating a piece of eggshell, Fang Xin actually felt a surge of energy flowing through his body. He felt that his body had become somewhat stronger, unlike when he had just been born and his body was somewhat weak.

Ka ka, after experiencing the deliciousness of the eggshell and the benefits it had on his body, Fang Xin began to eat the eggshell fragments piece by piece. Fang Xin immersed himself in the rich aroma of the eggshells and felt his body gradually growing stronger.

Eat more slowly, don’t rush, said his bird mother as she watched Fang Xin eat the eggshells.

It’s so delicious, Fang Xin said vaguely to his bird mother with his mouth full of eggshells.

As Fang Xin chewed on the eggshell with a ka ka sound, the eggshells gradually decreased...

When Fang Xin consumed the last piece of eggshell, suddenly, some information appeared in his mind. It was about the world he was currently in and information about his bird father, who was not by his side.

It turned out that the world Fang Xin was now in was not the Yanhuang Great World, known for its technology, but rather Yang Tian’s Great World, where strength was the measure of all things.

In Yang Tian’s Great World, there were five major clans: the Human Clan, the Demon Clan, the Ghost Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Immortal Clan.

The Human Clan, as the name implies, consists of humans. It was the clan Fang Xin originally belonged to in the Yanhuang Great World and is the most populous and foundational clan in Yang Tian’s Great World.

The Demon Clan is made up of demons that have cultivated from demonic beasts. According to Fang Xin’s understanding of himself, he should now be a newly born demonic beast.

The Ghost Clan is formed from the lingering obsessions of the dead from other clans, gathering the resentment of heaven and earth and transforming into ghosts over time.

The Demon Clan consists of individuals from various clans who have darkness in their hearts. When this darkness is magnified, they transform into demons, hence giving rise to the Demon Clan.

The Immortal Clan is born from some humans who cut off worldly ties, severed all desires and emotions, and focused solely on cultivation.

In Yang Tian’s Great World, each clan cultivates essence by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to increase their own. The more essence one has, the greater their strength. The essence absorbed by the Human Clan is transformed into Mysterious Qi, by the Demon Clan into demonic Qi, by the Ghost Clan into ghost Qi, by the Demon Clan into demon Qi, and by the Immortal Clan into immortal Qi. Each clan has developed cultivation techniques that utilize essence in a way that suits their own clan best, with different levels based on the speed and amount of essence absorbed.

Mortal, Transcend Mortal, Yellow, Mysterious, Earth, Heaven. There are five levels of cultivation techniques, with Mortal being the lowest and Heaven the highest. In Yang Tian’s Great World, the highest-known cultivation technique is of the Mysterious Stage.

The different methods of condensing essence at the moment of its release are known as Qi Techniques, which can amplify one’s essence many times over. Qi Techniques and cultivation techniques share the same ranking system and are used in conjunction.

All beings in Yang Tian’s Great World possess their own attributes, absorbing essence that carries their specific attributes. The more attributes one carries, the stronger they become.

There are two realms in Yang Tian’s Great World: the Mortal Realm and the Transcend Mortal Realm, each divided into nine levels. One can advance to the next level by accumulating a certain amount of the essence of heaven and earth, with the speed of progression depending on one’s talent and the strength of their cultivation technique.

Several great worlds exist in the cosmos, and Yang Tian’s Great World is among them.

Above these great worlds are the Nine Heavens!

When one’s cultivation reaches the ninth level of Transcend Mortal and they make a breakthrough, a Heavenly Ladder will appear. By stepping on the Heavenly Ladder, cultivators can enter the Nine Heavens.

The information that appeared in Fang Xin’s mind outlined that the Nine Heavens are divided into Middle Heaven, Envious Heaven, Following Heaven, Renewed Heaven, Bright Heaven, Expansive Heaven, Envious Heaven, Deep Heaven, and Mature Heaven, in ascending order. Fang Xin’s father is a Thunder Phoenix from Expansive Heaven, who, due to an accident, fell from the Nine Heavens into Yang Tian’s Great World, where he met Fang Xin’s mother and conceived Fang Xin. Not long after Fang Xin was born, his father was taken back to Expansive Heaven by his family elders, leaving behind Fang Xin and his mother in Yang Tian’s Great World.

As this information entered Fang Xin’s mind, he felt some resentment towards his impressive bird father for abandoning him and his mother alone in Yang Tian’s Great World.

Just as Fang Xin was feeling resentful towards his father whom he had never met, a sudden intense pain struck his head, and some special characters emerged in Fang Xin’s mind.

.....

Chapter 2 Inheritance

Just as Fang Xin was complaining about his father, whom he had never met, some characters suddenly appeared in his mind. Fang Xin concentrated and saw that these characters were left to him by his incredible father.

Child, by the time you see these words, I will have already left this place. I regret not being able to watch you break out of your shell with your mother. My departure was out of necessity. I have left you a cultivation technique that I obtained from ancient ruins back in the day, as well as some Qi Techniques suitable for your current cultivation level. Back when I was injured and fell into this Yang Tian’s Great World, I met your mother because I was fighting over this cultivation technique with someone in the ruins. Now I leave it to you in hopes that you will grow into a powerful expert and protect your mother for me. Remember, do not come looking for me. Remember, remember. These words echoed in Fang Xin’s mind as if a technique had been cast on them.

As soon as the voice faded, segments of information surfaced in Fang Xin’s mind, as if they were inherited through his bloodline.

[Leveling Heaven Technique: Thunder Chapter] Unranked. The heavens have nine levels, the highest and most sacred, not to be profaned. Those who wish to cultivate this technique must oppose the Nine Heavens and endure heavenly punishment; upon completion, they will possess the power to rival the heavens. This domineering introduction gave Fang Xin a strong interest in this [Leveling Heaven Technique: Thunder Chapter]. Typically, cultivation techniques are ranked, but this [Leveling Heaven Technique: Thunder Chapter] has no rank, which is truly astonishing.

When Fang Xin read about enduring heavenly punishment, he couldn’t help but shudder. Then, when he read about attaining the power to rival the heavens, he felt a sense of awe for the creator of this cultivation technique.

He also became more curious about his incredible father, wondering how he obtained such an outrageously powerful cultivation technique.

After glancing through this ridiculously amazing cultivation technique, Fang Xin shifted his thoughts to the techniques left behind by his awesome father.

The cultivation technique my father left me is so overpowered, so the techniques can’t be too bad either. Fang Xin thought to himself, using his mind to scan the text that recorded the techniques.

There were two techniques, both bloodline techniques that could only be used by those with specific bloodlines. One was called [Thunder Feather Kill]. [Thunder Feather Kill] gathers the essence of thunder within the body, condenses it onto the wings in the form of feathers, and shoots them out at the enemy, granting them immense penetrating power. Based on the description of this technique, Fang Xin could tell that it was an attack technique and that it must possess considerable offensive power.

Fang Xin then turned his attention to the other technique, [Thunder Flash]. Judging by its name, Fang Xin thought that it must be a movement technique, and he continued reading while speculating.

[Thunder Flash] gathers the essence of thunder into the body and briefly charges forward, suitable for quick movement over short distances. Unlike the offensive power of [Thunder Feather Kill], [Thunder Flash] lacks any attack power and is instead a technique used for pursuing and escaping.

The text gradually disappeared, and Fang Xin thought, I didn’t even memorize it. How did it disappear? With a thought, the vanished text reappeared in Fang Xin’s mind. Seeing these words reappear, Fang Xin felt his heart relax.

Returning to reality, Fang Xin regained his senses and saw that the bird mother was looking at him. Just now, so many words and pieces of information had flooded into Fang Xin’s mind that he had gained a lot of knowledge and even obtained a cultivation technique and Qi Techniques. In reality, only a few seconds had passed.

From birth until now, only a few minutes had passed. Fang Xin had just come to terms with being reborn into another world as a bird and hadn’t even had the chance to look at himself.

Fang Xin knew that he had become a bird, but he didn’t know what kind of bird he was.

Fang Xin turned his bird head and saw his body, a brown body with a long golden tail feather trailing behind.

His massive body and brown plumage resembled that of a brown sparrow. This was how Fang Xin perceived his bird mother.

But why do I have this long golden tail feather? Could it be inherited from my incredible father? Fang Xin thought to himself.

Son, have you received the bloodline inheritance? his bird mother asked.

Yes, I have. I also saw what dad left for me, Fang Xin replied.

Being born in a different world, Fang Xin felt the exhaustion that came with new life.

Looking at the gigantic bird mother and the warm nest she had built, Fang Xin said to her,

Mom, I’m very sleepy.

With that, Fang Xin fell into a deep sleep.

What Fang Xin didn’t know was what kind of setbacks and hardships he would face in the chaotic Yang Tian’s Great World.

Time flew by, days turned into months. More than ten days had passed since Fang Xin arrived in Yang Tian’s Great World, and he had gained a deeper understanding of this world.

Every day, Fang Xin stayed at home waiting for his bird mother to bring back some demonic beasts he could eat as food. Eating these raw foods, Fang Xin not only didn’t feel the disgust he initially anticipated but also sensed the essence contained within this flesh. Although this essence was very minimal, it was better than nothing, and Fang Xin quite enjoyed the feeling of essence nourishing his body.

Under the nourishment of this essence, Fang Xin’s body slowly grew. Although the growth wasn’t obvious, Fang Xin could feel his body gradually enlarging, and his strength slowly increasing.

During this time, Fang Xin began to cultivate the [Leveling Heaven Technique: Thunder Chapter], just making an entry and reaching the first level of the Mortal Realm.

Fang Xin wanted to practice techniques, but with his current realm and amount of essence, he couldn’t support learning and using techniques at all. Fang Xin had no choice but to temporarily give up on practicing techniques.

He would first slowly absorb essence to accumulate his essence supply and wait until his essence was sufficient to practice techniques.

After so many days, Fang Xin also learned that his bird mother had reached the first level of the Transcendence Realm.

When demonic beasts reached the Transcendence Realm, they could transform into demons, gain the ability to shapeshift, and open their horizontal bones, enabling them to speak human language.

When his bird mother gave birth to Fang Xin, she had used up a great amount of essence, so she was still a bit weak. Her strength was only at the eighth level of the Mortal Realm, which was not enough to support her shapeshifting.

Fang Xin ate the food his bird mother caught for him every day, accumulating essence. He was very happy and comfortable staying in the nest every day.

Boom... rumble... Fang Xin would often hear these sounds, which were the sounds of demonic beasts fighting in the forest.

There were many reasons for the fighting: they didn’t like each other, they were fighting over food, or they were simply food for each other. Any reason could be a cause for them to fight.

This was the law of the jungle, or even the
