I was banned by the Revitalization event.

I was deprived of my work due to the spiritual energy revival. (Author: Min Dong)

Synopsis: Overnight, Qin Luo is reborn twenty years in the past. No one but him knows that twenty years later, the world will descend into chaos due to the resurgence of spiritual energy, ultimately leading to nuclear war and apocalypse. To change the future...

Knowing everything all along, Qin Luo traveled to famous mountains and rivers, constantly tempering his spirit, absorbing spiritual power, breaking through his own limits, and desperately trying to seize the initiative before the end of the world.

Finally, on the day the spiritual energy revival began, Qin Luo surpassed himself and broke through to the supreme realm of Heavenly Tribulation—then the spiritual energy revival didn't come, leaving him hanging.

Chapter 1: Reborn!

In a KFC restroom stall, Qin Luo sat on the toilet, lost in thought.

he……

I feel like I need to calm down.

He touched his face.

He had no stubble, and his hairstyle was different from what he was used to, making him look younger and fresher.

These hands of his were softer than he remembered, without any scars or calluses. They were the hands of a young man, with clean fingers and neatly trimmed nails. It seemed that he had maintained good hygiene habits when he was young.

It just felt like my body was completely empty, with no spiritual energy present.

I've traveled through time—

No.

wrong.

He is still himself; in fact, it seems more like a rebirth.

After searching his pockets for a while, Qin Luo pulled out a cell phone, glanced at it, and saw that the system time showed it was March 2022.

last moment.

Qin Luo's last memory was of him exploring ruins with his wife.

And the next second.

A blinding white light tore through the sky, and phantoms of clocks and gears seemed to appear in the cracks of space. In the midst of the excruciating pain, everything became blurred. When time began to flow again, he found himself in the restroom.

He was reborn...

I've returned to my distant childhood, back to twenty years ago.

My mind feels a bit empty.

I don't want to think about anything, and I don't want to do anything.

Qin Luo sat in the toilet for a long time until someone knocked on the door. He was startled awake, washed his hands, opened the door, smiled apologetically at the person waiting outside, and walked out of the small stall.

Outside, the sun shines brightly, people are bustling about, and colors are vibrant and dynamic.

So many people...

It was like stepping into another world.

Since the war began, he had not seen such a lively and prosperous scene for a long time. All he saw were dark, cloudy skies, ruins, rampant vines, and numb, pale faces.

They walked out of KFC.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar bustling street, Qin Luo scratched his head; he couldn't remember where he lived.

For twenty years, he wandered aimlessly, without a fixed abode. As spiritual energy revived, the city was ravaged and changed beyond recognition, with each city undergoing a transformation every few years. With only scattered and fragmented memories, he could not recall anything from the past.

But that's alright.

Qin Luo looked around and saw a small park diagonally across the street. It would be a good opportunity to go there and have some peace and quiet.

Stepping on the dappled sunlight.

In this era, his sister seems to still be alive. If he goes home in this mental state, his sister, who knows him well, will inevitably see through his act.

Hold on.

It must be the weekend, and the park is bustling with visitors.

Qin Luo found a bench and sat down, pretending to play on his phone. He observed the city out of the corner of his eye for a while. Everything in the city was running as usual, and it seemed that no one except him remembered anything about the future.

Is the reborn person only themselves?

Holding his forehead, Qin Luo felt his thoughts becoming clearer and began to organize his memories.

If the timing is correct, about a year later, the spiritual energy revival will begin to erupt, and humanity around the world will enter the era of cultivation, completely shattering the past order.

After losing balance.

What humanity faced was an endless war.

population……

resource……

food……

Everything is a target of contention.

What began as a struggle between cultivators quickly escalated into a world war due to resource allocation issues. Ultimately, due to a flawed decision, the president of a certain country was the first to press the switch to nuclear war.

From that moment on, Pandora's box was opened.

In just a few years, 95 percent of the world's population died in war.

The remaining humans also linger in the shadow of nuclear winter, suffering from hunger and cold, with no peace.

And then.

He returned to the present amidst that strange phenomenon.

Spiritual Awakening —

Qin Luo silently recited these words in his heart: this was the source of everything, the original culprit.

The idea of ​​everyone cultivating immortality was initially seen as an opportunity for social progress.

Many years later.

Most people only realize what exactly led the world step by step to become the way it is.

Sitting on a park bench, lost in thought.

As Qin Luo stroked his smartphone, a thought suddenly struck him. He quickly unlocked the screen, held his breath, and, almost unconsciously, entered a string of numbers.

The other party's phone number is registered in Xianning.

He lives in the same city.

Many years later, his wife once said that she hadn't changed her phone number for over twenty years, and even though the carrier had long since shut down, she kept that number until the very end.

Qin Luo himself didn't know what his mindset was, but he memorized that string of numbers perfectly.

Tang Yi...

Twenty years later, his wife, that gentle girl.

For so many years, they relied on each other, never abandoning one another, and went through many difficult times together. When he heard that name, what came to mind was that smiling, gentle face.

Where is she now?

Are you still in college, or have you already entered the workforce?

Cultivators have longer lifespans, so their ages become blurred, and he never knew his wife's age.

Just about to move.

After much deliberation, Qin Luo finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and pressed the dial button, then held his breath and listened intently, his nerves on edge.

Just one hit.

Listen to your wife's voice from twenty years ago, and when the opportunity arises, go find her immediately.

After a brief busy signal.

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hello?

His voice was very mature, with a kind of knowledgeable, gentle and refined quality.

"Hello, I am..."

Holding the phone, Qin Luo's spirits lifted. Just as he was about to speak, he heard another man's voice in the background.

"Honey, who is it?"

"I don't know, it might be an advertisement or a sales pitch. Let me ask."

The woman's voice moved further away, as if she was afraid he would hear it, and deliberately moved a little further away.

Qin Luo: "..."

His smile froze on his lips.

Oh, this.

After finally being reborn twenty years ago, it turns out that his wife seems to have another husband.

What kind of bizarre development is this?

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Seeing that Qin Luo remained silent, the woman continued, her tone still calm and gentle.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Tang."

Qin Luo opened his mouth several times, finally moving the microphone a little further away, ready to hang up.

It felt like being hit by a heavy hammer; my head was buzzing.

I'm a little confused.

He needs to take it slow.

Qin Luo gripped his phone. As an upright warrior of pure love, he found it hard to accept the sudden realization that his gentle wife was actually another man's wife.

We've been married for so many years.
