As Truck-kun expected to die he had already left all his worries behind him and had then been cut into two by his little brother.
Before he died he remembered what Ling Tian said, "I'm sorry for this, though you did everything for me yet I betrayed you for material wealth, I know you'll forgive me within a heartbeat but brother if we meet in another life I'll make sure to truly be loyal and be your little brother, I'm sorry..."
He knew his brother ended his life to stray him from this dark path and he thanked him for it, the number of humans he transmigrated every year was taking a toll on his body.
And now that he was freed from that he became satisfied, now without any worries, Truck-kun merely closed his astral eyes.
(A/N: Freed- I don't think so.)
As he welcomed his eternal damnation in the Yellow River. However it never happened, rather he opened his eyes again this time and found that he actually had a body.
It was scary, to be honest after an eternity without a humanoid body, his palms became sweaty as his knees trembled under an incredible pain as his mind seemed to have been split and put back together countless times however he couldn't scream he didn't allow himself to - but then he noticed it wasn't entirely physical as he could feel the diesel coursing through his very veins.
Before he finally blacked out once again.
———_______———
Once he'd woken up again his body twitched several times before he got up as he found that he was currently within a courtyard of sorts that seemed to emit majestic and charismatic energy.
"Am I dead or am I suffering in purgatory for all the earthly sins I've committed!"
"No, if I was dead why can I feel some sort of energy flowing through my veins, it makes no sense- wait this isn't even my body, it's too weak and it's essence is completely different."
And as he looked around he finally got near the hibiscus flowers as he touched it, almost immediately a number of memories flashed in front of him like a TV show based on ancient history and conspiracies.
Apparently he was someone called Long Aotian. It weirded him out slightly but he assumed it was because of his last remaining energy that allowed him to survive like that.
So without further ado, he began watching through his life.
-Long Aotian's Memories:-
This was a city that was located in the Far East located in one of the eight empires of the Golden Sun Continent- Water Dragon City. And he was the only son of the Patriarch, and that too he had only just become sixteen recently.
Due to him possessing drive and determination ready to do things to make his presence known he was favoured by his father and he was en route to become the next Patriarch while his other cousins merely leeched off of the family fortune.
His cousin brothers didn't study properly instead hung out, drank and hired prostitute's, while his female cousins had long been married off to well known noble families in Water Dragon City allowing trade links to be made increasing the Long families fortune.
The city was overall a Megacity compared to others however this city compared to his previous world called earth was much bigger as the city was as big as ten megacities.
And then the megacities within this world were ten times bigger than cities in this world. Meaning a city hosted about 10 million people while a megacity contained about 100 million people.
And going by these estimates he wondered just how big this planet was as it was completely different than other worlds he'd visited during his lifetime.
As he'd already gone through his memories he quickly headed back into his courtyard as he returned to his room.
It seems the previous day he'd ingested some sort of poison unknowingly and that caused his predecessor to die allowing him to be reborn.
Without a moment's hesitation he immediately figured out what the poison was, and it left a bad taste in his mouth to whoever did this.
As whoever did this was surely an evil insane piece of crap with no love for their own family.
In the years when he was in the Sage Realm, he had made all medicine and pills known to man and so he picked up on the poison he'd consumed, it wasn't affecting him anymore as it indeed killed its target letting me take his place.
It could be said that there wasn't a single pill concoction and medicine method he didn't know of not to mention all the herbs he knew, with just a whiff he could guess what herb it was and with just a look he could guess what illness or disease one faced.
"Extirpate Soul Crush Powder... It seems someone really doesn't like me to even crush my soul with such a strong medicinal powder- I wonder just who could be so desperate."
'It means that the person who killed my predecessor allowed me to reincarnate into this dead body, though I don't know whether to thank them or kill them for allowing my rebirth.'
The Extirpate Soul Crush Powder was made by grinding a unique Spirit Hibiscus before then lacing it with some extract of a Phantom Beasts Core and finally it was topped off with an Inferno attribute Phantom Beasts blood.
And once this powder was dissolved in water it would become colourless, odourless and toxic, killing the consumer in 30 seconds, and the first symptoms were a heart attack before their soul was crushed making it almost painless with how quick it was.
It seemed that whoever did it was too jealous of his position and decided to end him, what with him being only a 1-Star Bronze Rank.
You see though his father doted on him and allowed him to inherit his fortune this move was objected against by the family elders simply because of the fact that he couldn't cultivate properly.
You see this was because Long Aotian's mother had died during childbirth and the childbirth happened while his father and mother were under attack and one spear went through his mother's womb grazing against his Dantian and essentially crippling him for life.
He could still cultivate however he couldn't go a rank past 1-Star Bronze Rank that was his threshold that would remain forever unattainable. But now that I was here something as simple as that would be fixed with a wave of my hands.
But first off I was really feeling the urge for some fuel- if they even had that here, like humans liked cold beverages mine was Diesel and I was really feeling the need to drink some.
