Tang Chen, bewildered, tried to make sense of the foreign environment. The memories of his past life clashed with the reality of a cultivation world. As the images continued to flood his mind, he realized the abrupt shift – a transmigration from a modern, mundane life to a realm where strength dominated.

In his previous existence, Tang Chen had been an earthly soul, an ambitious engineering student striving for success. The relentless pursuit of a better life led him to toil long hours, yet respect eluded him. His life ended abruptly in the cold monotony of his workplace.

Now, in this new world, the laws were different. Here, strength was paramount, and the struggle for survival transcended the corporate battles of his former life. The body he inhabited belonged to a cultivator who met an untimely end, poisoned within his own sect. This cultivator, neither remarkably powerful nor weak, represented the norm in his faction.

Tang Chen felt the weight of destiny pressing upon him, a destiny shaped by the clash of spiritual energy and the pursuit of martial prowess. As he stood in this unfamiliar realm, he wondered how he would navigate the intricacies of a world where the strong preyed upon the weak, and the echoes of ancient cultivation practices resonated in the air.
