I looked at the system and said, "Okay, I'm ready. Let's go."
As you wish, my lord.
A bright light appeared, blinding me for a few seconds, but then I opened my eyes to find myself in a simple room—a bed, a small desk, and a window. I quickly remembered where I was. It was the place where everything began, that cursed place—the Demonic Sect. I never expected to return here. The memories of the torment I endured in this place still haunted me, even after traveling through time. Especially that wretched girl, "Yang Xiao." I won't let her go, but now that I've returned with my previous knowledge, I'll eliminate that wretch and the nine geniuses. I'll step on their cursed corpses soon.
My lord, it is time for your journey to begin from here. But let me explain something to you.
I looked at him and said, "Go ahead."
Your ultimate goal is to become the Emperor of the Heavens, and you have the right to achieve that by any means. I will assign you tasks based on your choice, my lord.
"Wait, you mean by any means?"
"Yes, even if it means burning the heavens down to achieve your goal."
I smiled and said, "You really are a great system. But I have one question: Why are you appearing to me now?"
"Currently, I cannot answer, but soon, when all the legends and monsters bow to your rule, I will answer your question."
Although I was not satisfied with that answer, I decided not to press further. I needed to focus on my goal, so I said, "Alright, system, what is my first task?"
Good question. But first, you must review your personal stats.
I didn't fully understand what he meant, but I said, "Alright, show me."

I was reading my skills, and they weren't bad compared to my previous life.
Suddenly...
Someone entered the room. At first, I didn't notice, but then I quickly turned around. The person stepped back in fear. I looked at her and realized it was Mo Lin, my childhood friend. I never expected to see her again. Mo Lin had fallen to the ground because of my sudden movement. She looked at me and said,
"Yan, what's wrong with you? Why did you do that?"
I helped her up and said, "I'm sorry. I was confused."
She looked at me suspiciously and said, "You're not thinking about girls again, are you?"
I was taken aback, and my thoughts were completely interrupted. I said, "What... no, I..."
She placed her hand on her waist and said, "Yes, you are. How many times have I told you not to think about such perverted things?"
I looked at her in shock and said, "Mo Lin, I'm not..."
She interrupted me and said, "Enough! I'm angry with you. As compensation, you need to go on a walk with me."
This was something I wasn't used to Yan Tian, the terrifying Dragon of the Heavens, being spoken to like this. But I reminded myself that there was no harm in accepting her request. So, I decided to agree, smiling as I said,
"Yes, let's go."
Although I didn't know what would happen to me in the future, there was no harm in a little fun. After all, I spent my entire previous life in constant wars, forgetting simple pleasures like the sun or tea. I was excited to experience those things again. This was my new beginning, and this time, it would be different.
