Everyone holds the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? In our great nation of Yanhuang, everyone is a demon c

In the 106,000th year of the Qian Yuan calendar, the great primordial era was re-established. The heavens trembled, the realms were reshaped, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth revived. Ancient, long-sealed traditions awakened from the void, and countless cultivators, as if sensing the call of destiny, emerged from their secluded cultivation places and plunged into the torrent of this new era.

"In this life, all those who qualify can plan their future."

These words resounded like thunder throughout the entire primordial land. Cultivators, warriors, weapon forgers, array masters, beast tamers... all knew that this was a true opportunity for the future, and a reward from heaven and earth for cultivators.

The Northern Mystic Realm, Changkong Mountain, a thousand miles high, is shrouded in clouds and mist, resembling a fairyland.

Chen Xiu sat cross-legged, his brow slightly furrowed. A ray of light was slowly circulating in his sea of ​​consciousness—the "Light of Destiny" he had activated seven days ago. It was said that only those who truly entered the ranks of the qualified could perceive the path to the future. Now, he had finally seen the path leading to becoming the "protagonist of the era."

"I sense the future," Chen Xiu murmured to himself, his gaze calm and profound.

In this primordial era, the path of cultivation is not accessible to everyone. Only those with unwavering will, exceptional talent, and who persevere through countless life-and-death trials can be considered "qualified."

But today is different.

The Qian Yuan Dao Bell tolled three times, revealing the Heavenly Dao and bestowing upon each qualified individual the "Seal of the Era," granting them the ability to propagate the future and control their destiny. Consequently, countless cultivators broke free from their seclusion at this moment, emerging into the world, causing turmoil across all realms and resounding cries from all races.

This is the era that everyone longs for most.

"Anyone can successfully establish their own era in the shortest possible time." This is the promise of Heaven and the ultimate truth of the universe.

In the Southern Sea Realm, Helian Qingyin, the master of Lingfeng Valley, stood quietly on the Heavenly Ladder in a green robe, gazing up at the thunderclouds in the sky, and said in a low voice: "I have been condensing the Dao Seed for three years. If I can summon the shadow of the future today, I will surely be able to sweep aside those of the same level and have no rivals."

Meanwhile, on the broken shore of the Western Sea, Chu Tiancang, a descendant of the dragon, was drawing upon the true blood of the ancestral dragon. A three-zhang-tall dragon shadow surrounded him, and thunder shook the heavens: "The gate of the era is about to open. My goal is to rebuild the Dragon Palace and restore the glory of the dragon race!"

Every powerful individual was undergoing a process of refinement, breakthrough, struggle, and ascension at this moment. Chen Xiu, a rising star who had just entered the Nascent Soul realm, also attracted a "sign of the future," which was considered an extraordinary phenomenon by many sects.

Behind Changkong Mountain, Master Dao Xuanzi said solemnly, "Chen Xiu, your ability to draw upon the light of the future proves that you are destined to inherit the Great Dao. The next step is to usher in your era and walk your own path of destiny."

"My era?" Chen Xiu gently closed his eyes, and the scene appeared in his mind—under the vast starry sky, he alone faced the army of all races, his halberd piercing the sky, the gods bowing their heads, and all spirits submitting.

That was a vision of the future, and also a projection of his own destiny.

The master continued, "Do you know what 'future tense' is?"

"Master, please clarify."

"The Future Tensor is the exclusive domain of every chosen one after the rebirth of the Heavenly Dao. Once you comprehend the Future Tensor, you can construct future forms on top of reality and predict your achievements decades or even centuries into the future. Once you fully master this ability, you will be destined to become a saint!"

Chen Xiu's eyes widened in shock. Future deduction was originally a technique that only those at the Great Power level could master, but now that the Heavenly Dao was loosening, even Nascent Soul cultivators could get a glimpse of it.

"From now on, many people will be able to truly understand everything that belongs to them." This is an unprecedented era.

Just then, a powerful aura rose from the Eastern Heavenly Sea, a phenomenon signifying the Supreme Elder of the Divine Firmament Sect's breakthrough to the Immortal Venerable realm. Nine Heavens Thunder Dragons shook the void, ten thousand feet of lightning fell from the sky, thunder spirits roared, and the earth trembled.

At the same time, super powers in the Central Region, such as Daoyuan Sect, Xuanshuang Palace, Wanxing Valley, and Blood Sword Sect, have launched "Future Deployment" and unleashed their sect's resources all at once, just to seize the opportunity for the future.

"This is a war without gunpowder," Dao Xuanzi said solemnly, "but it is also the era that everyone feels is the most favorable."

Many warriors awakened in this transformation, some dormant ancestors emerged from seclusion, some chosen ones broke through to new heights, and even the divine souls of emperors who had perished in their early years began to reunite in the torrent of the Heavenly Dao.

"A truly qualified fighter can successfully achieve the goals that everyone desires."

After seven days of meditation, Chen Xiu's future began to take shape. He saw his soul being reforged and all spirits returning to one a hundred years in the future, as well as the moment when his fellow cultivators betrayed him, his family perished, and his sect was destroyed. In this future prediction, his ending was both glorious and tragic, honorable yet lonely.

"If that's the case, I don't want this future!" he shouted sternly.

At that very moment, his sea of ​​consciousness trembled violently, the image of the future began to disintegrate, and a more vast chaotic sea of ​​light unfolded.

"It was your unwavering determination to resist fate that unlocked the true 'mastery of the future'." The master gazed at him, filled with amazement.

To dominate the future is not to passively accept the arrangements of fate, but to rewrite and create a completely new system of destiny!

In that instant, Chen Xiu became the first person in the world to truly step into the realm of "Lord of the Future." He could not only foresee the future, but also use his own will to reverse it—this was the possibility brought about by the strongest era!

Everyone here yearns for their own future, but Chen Xiu has already taken the lead and stood at the pinnacle of his own destiny.

And the primordial world was completely changed because of this moment.

Chapter One: The Beginning of Apocalypse

In this unprecedented primordial world, myriad paths surged, the nine provinces shattered, heaven and earth were unsettled, and chaos still lingered. Since Pangu separated heaven and earth, myriad races have vied for supremacy, with the strong reigning supreme. Whoever could wield the power of heaven and earth could control destiny. Now, a great calamity is imminent, the six directions converge, and the nine paths intertwine. Countless cultivators, sensing the impending storm, are stirring, seeking their own success or failure.

In the primordial chaos, boundless opportunities and perils were contained. Every truly qualified powerhouse could, in this ancient era, see in an instant the connection between themselves and the future, grasp the secrets of heaven, and swiftly plan their cultivation for the next thousands or tens of thousands of years. It was precisely because of this supreme opportunity that countless cultivators yearned to seize this moment, firmly locking their destiny and climbing to the pinnacle.

Chen Xiu was one such exceptional individual. Born into the White Deer Sect of the Eastern Wilderness, he possessed mediocre talent and was often ridiculed for his frail physique in his youth. However, fate did not forsake his talent; with the passage of time, he gradually transformed from an ordinary youth into a powerful young man who had gained profound insight into the Great Dao. Now, he could seamlessly integrate his cultivation with the laws of the Great Dao within the Chaotic Ancient Path, easily glimpsing the future of the world. Countless cultivators envied his momentary enlightenment, regarding it as his "most successful era."

At that moment, the heavens drastically changed, with crimson clouds pressing down overhead. Far beyond the nine heavens, pillars of heavenly tribulation lightning surged, several bolts of lightning tearing through the sky with a sound like shattering jade, their vast expanse flashing with electric fire. Cultivators all stopped in their tracks, trying to capture the pulse of that instantaneous heavenly lightning and glimpse the grand trends of the next hundred or thousand years. However, truly qualified individuals could dispel the fog of the future even before the lightning arrived, foreseeing the higher-level opportunities that lay beyond the heavenly tribulation.

Chen Xiu stood before the Taichu Hall of the White Deer Sect, his gaze clear as water. He slowly clasped his hands together, his spiritual energy surging in reverse, and several blood-red spiritual patterns emerged, peeling away layers of obstruction, pointing straight to the deepest part of his chest. That was the point of convergence between him and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the core of his ability to "successfully establish his own era at the first opportunity"—the Primordial Pivot of the Great Dao.

"The future has already been laid out," he murmured. In that instant, he seemed to sense the movement of the stars over the next thousand years, every surge of the earth's veins, the roar of wild beasts, and the cracking of the mysterious ice on the land of Kyushu—all were under his control. At this moment, Chen Xiu was like the intersection of reality and the future; no cultivation bottleneck or reversal of fate could stop him from moving forward.

His contemporaries were mostly filled with astonishment. Some of them, who had fallen behind in recent years, were still searching for the essence of heaven and earth in the abyss of bones, while others were exiled to the northern desert, suffering the harsh winter. Yet, without exception, they all felt an unprecedented desire at this moment: only by seizing the initiative could they survive, become strong, and even defy fate in the coming chaos.

Just then, a group of figures appeared on the horizon. Hundreds of cultivators gathered, their white robes fluttering, and entered the Taichu Palace. The leader was a middle-aged man clad in crimson-gold armor, exuding a majestic aura and possessing piercing gazes. He was none other than the leader of the Three Desolate Domains War Alliance—Crimson Iris Heavenly Venerable. This man possessed astonishing combat power, having once slain the remnant of the Demon Lord in the Chaos Ancient Battlefield, drawing the attention of countless powerful figures.

The Crimson Phoenix Celestial Venerable surveyed the entire scene, his voice booming like a bell: "Today, we are gathered here by the mandate of heaven. All the arduous training and trials of the past have been for the sake of preparing for today's battle. The war has reached its most critical moment. If we cannot seize the initiative to open up the future, we will surely lose the upper hand and be crushed by the torrent of the times."

Everyone echoed in agreement. They knew that whether it was cultivation, martial arts practice, or troop deployment, one had to be half a beat, a beat, or even three beats faster. Only in this way could they gain the upper hand in future battles and defeat their opponents before the fighting even began. Many secretly marveled: This was truly the "most favorable era"!
Chen Xiu listened quietly, his mind racing. How could he use his perception of the future to cooperate with the grand scheme of the Crimson Phoenix Celestial Venerable, seamlessly connecting his personal destiny with the War Alliance and even the entire prehistoric world? He knew that he could not keep this divinely bestowed opportunity to himself; only by spreading this advantage to more like-minded people could he create a greater chapter and open up a new chapter in the boundless prehistoric world.

So he stepped forward, his tone resolute: "Everyone, follow me into the hall. I have a method that will allow you to steadily increase your speed of law fusion over the next few years, and break the shackles of your own destiny ahead of time. If you are willing to follow me, you will surely be able to seize the initiative in the next battle."

Before the words were even finished, everyone was shocked. The oppressive atmosphere that had enveloped the Taichu Palace suddenly relaxed, replaced by an irresistible centripetal force. The Crimson Phoenix Celestial Venerable was even more moved; he and Chen Xiu exchanged a knowing glance, their brows furrowed with eager anticipation.

Thus, an unprecedented inheritance of the "fate reversal technique" quietly began.

……

From then on, Chen Xiu and the Crimson Phoenix Celestial Venerable led the elites of the War Alliance side by side, venturing deep into the ruins of ancient battlefields, the rifts between heaven and earth, and the lands where the Milky Way reversed, to seize the remaining fragments of chaos and Daoist runes. Each breakthrough, each trial in the wilderness, was like placing a piece on a chessboard of the future, laying the groundwork for an impeccable situation. Under this powerful aura, countless cultivators also hardened their wills and strengthened their convictions, awakening the long-dormant contract marks within their bodies.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, the other feudal lords, demons, the Heavenly Court, and the Underworld were all on high alert. They all sensed that this "war for the future," initiated by Chen Xiu and the War Alliance, would completely overturn the established order of the primordial world. Only by making timely arrangements for the future and seizing the initiative could they survive in this chaotic world and perhaps even become the ultimate overlord.

The first great battle of the primordial era is about to erupt. Cultivators worldwide hold their breath, their hearts filled with the same desire: to seize the broad road to the supreme peak in this unparalleled era! (End of Chapter)
