After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan. (Author: Waiting for the Moon)

"I'm sorry, I don't think we're a good match. Let's break up."

"You know, there's a big difference in our status now. I have a better future, and I don't want you to hold me back."

Zhou Yan's girlfriend awakened the power of her ancestors, and the first thing she did was break up with Zhou Yan and end their relationship.

Zhou Yan returned home with mixed feelings. On his first night back home, he dreamed of a four-horned wild beast with white fur all over its body.

"I am Bai Ze, and I am you."

Upon awakening, Zhou Yan discovered he had become Bai Ze, the Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Chapter One: Breakup

"I'm sorry, I don't think we're a good match. Let's break up."

Zhou Yan, dressed in a Western-style school uniform, stood in the corner of the corridor outside the classroom. In front of him was a pretty girl in a short skirt and school uniform with delicate features, but with an indescribable charm.

Before she said "let's break up," this girl was Zhou Yan's girlfriend.

Zhou Yan remained silent in the face of the girl's request to break up.

The pretty young woman said calmly.

"You know, there's a big difference in our status now. I have a better future, and I don't want you to hold me back."

Zhou Yan then spoke.

"Is it because you've awakened?"

Fifteen years ago, someone in Zhou Yan's world suddenly awakened at the scene of a fire, gaining the ability to control flames and claiming that he had awakened the Bifang bloodline. Since then, people have awakened various bloodline abilities one after another.

Over the course of fifteen years, countless scientists studied these individuals with special abilities. They quickly discovered that the genetic chains of these individuals with superpowers had changed, and each claimed to have inherited the powerful abilities of an ancestor.

They didn't seem like humans, but rather like demons and monsters.

Of course, in this world, whether it is a demon or a monster, as long as it is willing to listen to the government and can make contact with people, its special abilities are just eye-catching traffic.

Every person who awakens their ancestral bloodline naturally becomes a superior person.

What Zhou Yan didn't expect was that his girlfriend, the woman who had previously depended on him, had also awakened her ancestral bloodline. However, the first thing she did after awakening was to break up with him.

The pretty young girl looked at Zhou Yan with a pitiful expression.

"Otherwise what? Um, Xiao Yan, you helped me a lot before, and I owe you a lot too. But from the moment I became an Awakened One, our futures became parallel, right? Understand? You've already... never mind, Xiao Yan, I owe you a favor. If you ever run into trouble in the future, you can come to me."

Zhou Yan was slightly moved, but the young man mocked him.

"Is this your condescending compassion?"

The pretty young girl turned around.

"Let's try to see each other as little as possible in the future."

The pretty young girl went down from the teaching building and came to a black luxury car parked outside. Several bodyguards in black stood beside the car. After the girl arrived, one of the bodyguards opened the car door and respectfully let her in.

All awakened individuals are highly coveted by various factions. Zhou Yan didn't know which faction the men in black belonged to, but judging from the luxury cars they were surrounded by, he knew that this faction must be quite wealthy.

Zhou Yan watched his former girlfriend leave, sighing inwardly.

Honestly, this woman is quite slow. Zhou Yan used to tutor her, buy her snacks, and try every possible way to take care of her. However, while she was slow at learning other subjects, she grasped the concept of class hierarchy very quickly.

Zhou Yan walked back to his classroom. As soon as he entered, the classroom fell silent. All the students turned to look at Zhou Yan with pity in their eyes.

Zhou Yan walked back to his seat and sat down. The person in front of him immediately turned around and smiled wryly at Zhou Yan.

“Someone in my hometown has also awakened. Xiao Yan, do you know what the first thing this person did after awakening was?”

Zhou Yan shook his head.

The desktop background color is dull.

“He sold his ancestral home, cut off contact with the villagers, and went to the city to live like an ancestor. An old man from my hometown saw him in the city and greeted him, but the man ran away like he was avoiding a plague god. Afterwards, he had someone beat up the old man from my hometown, saying that he had embarrassed him in front of his friends in the city and that he was not allowed to come to the city again, or else they would beat him to death.”

The student in front of him nodded his chin toward the window.

"It's good that Mi Qing, now an Awakened One, came to see you, Xiao Yan. The others who have awakened are eager to distance themselves from their origins."

Zhou Yan gave a sarcastic laugh in response.

The school bell rang, and then the teacher entered the classroom to begin the lesson. The fact that Zhou Yan's girlfriend had become an Awakened One and then broke up with Zhou Yan seemed like an insignificant interlude, quickly overshadowed by the boring lessons.

……

Outside the school.

Mi Qing sat in the back seat, watching the buildings rushing past the window. She had lived in this place for two years, thinking she would live here for the rest of her life, but...

A man in black standing nearby suddenly spoke up.

"Now that you are an Awakened One, this place is no longer befitting your status. From now on, in front of other Awakened Ones, always refer to yourself as someone from Dragon City. If anyone asks about your background, just say you are Fang Ying's disciple. Don't say anything else, understand?"

Mi Qing gave a soft "hmm".

A few days ago, Mi Qing dreamed of a four-legged snake. The four-legged snake told Mi Qing that it was an unformed dragon, and also Mi Qing herself. Waiting to wake up from the dream, Mi Qing suddenly found that large patches of fine scales began to appear on her body, and then she gained the ability to control water.

This was clearly the appearance of awakening. Without saying a word, Mi Qing went to the local Awakener Testing Center, where the local testers confirmed the type of awakening, which was named "Hui She," a semi-formed Jiao.

This half-formed dragon was already considered a semi-mythical creature, far stronger than the lowest-level demon beasts. As a result, its appearance attracted the attention of many forces. In just half a day, Mi Qing received invitations from more than twenty awakened forces. In the end, Mi Qing chose Dragon City as the target to which he would seek refuge in the future.

The reason is that the leader of Dragon City has an awakened type of "Azure Dragon", which belongs to the highest level of True God. In addition, the dragon is an advanced version of the Jiao, so it is easier for Mi Qing to advance in Dragon City.

The driver, who was driving, asked.

"You came here just to talk to your boyfriend?"

Mi Qing found it difficult.

"Xiao Yan has helped me a lot in the past."

Before she awakened, Mi Qing always felt that she was not good enough for Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan did not think there was anything wrong with having her as a burden and always treated her very well.

The driver scoffed.

"Do you know what? I can help you kill that little Yan you're talking about."

Mi Qing's eyes widened instantly.

The driver was very satisfied with Mi Qing's current attitude.

"It's too embarrassing for you to date a mortal. If people in your circle find out in the future, you'll be laughed at to death. If I help you kill your boyfriend, no one will know about this."

Mi Qing said, trembling.

"Just because of this, you want to kill Xiao Yan?"

The driver asked matter-of-factly.

"Isn't your reputation more important than the life of a mere mortal?"

Mi Qing bit her lip and remained silent.

The driver turned the car around and glanced at the rearview mirror. Mi Qing's face in the mirror was full of reluctance.

This is normal. When many people first become awakened, they still can't let go of their feelings for ordinary people. But after being in the circle for a long time, they will get used to controlling or even extinguishing the fate of ordinary people.

The driver was playing with words.

"I'll keep your boyfriend story private for you. When you've figured things out, you can come to me and I'll help you erase your embarrassing past."

Mi Qing shook her head.

"It doesn't need to go that far."

The driver lit a cigarette and then estimated that in three months at most, the woman would be begging him to kill her.

Oh no, if we hurry, a month will be enough.

Human nature can never withstand the test.

……

School ends at 4:30 PM.

Zhou Yan walked out of the school gate and boarded a bus outside the school.

As he got into the car, Zhou Yan took out his phone and typed "Awakener" into Baidu Search.

A dense array of web pages popped up, and awakened individuals with various abilities appeared before Zhou Yan.

Fifteen years ago, the Awakened Ones appeared. Over the past fifteen years, they have repeatedly ravaged the world's power system. Faced with the Awakened Ones' immense power, governments around the world have eventually granted them a certain degree of power concessions, making these Awakened Ones a born privileged class.

Born into the privileged class...

Ha ha……

Zhou Yan recalled the scene where Mi Qing looked at him with a condescending gaze.

It's impossible for Zhou Yan not to feel displeased, but considering that he might never see this woman again in the future, he didn't have too many thoughts about it.

The bus arrived at its stop soon, and Zhou Yan got off and went home.

His mother was cooking in the kitchen. Zhou Yan went upstairs to do his homework. After he finished, he ate dinner. After dinner, he took a shower, played on the computer for a while, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

Darkness quickly engulfed Zhou Yan's will. Just as all his consciousness was swallowed by darkness, tiny points of light suddenly appeared before Zhou Yan's pitch-black eyes.

In his half-dreaming, half-half-conscious state, Zhou Yan saw a starry river leaping out of the darkness, seemingly existing since time immemorial.

Vast and boundless, magnificent and majestic.

Zhou Yan watched silently, waiting silently.

It felt as if my whole being had sunk into this endless galaxy.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yan's gaze uncontrollably shifted from the Milky Way downwards. Beyond the Milky Way, beyond the darkness in between, Zhou Yan saw a sea with undulating waves.

The sea stretches endlessly, leaving only a vast expanse.

The camera rapidly panned across the sea, with foam and waves almost touching Zhou Yan's face. In some places, Zhou Yan could even see sea fish swimming beneath the surface.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yan suddenly saw a continent appear at the end of the surging sea, with a white dot at the very front of the continent.

As the camera zoomed in, the white dot became clearer and clearer.

Zhou Yan saw it clearly: it was a wild beast covered in white fur, with four legs on the ground, two long horns on its head, and a goatee on its chin.

A faint light emanated from the beast, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The camera zooms in faster and faster as the beast appears, until it stops.

Zhou Yan was almost within a meter of the beast, staring into its eyes.

The beast raised its paw and patted the ground.

In an instant, large swaths of green plants sprouted from the stone surface that had been eroded by seawater for thousands of years, and the surrounding undulating waves stopped.

The rivers are clear and the seas are calm.

The beast suddenly spoke.

Do you know who this person is?

Zhou Yan knew nothing and just stared blankly at the scene.

The beast laughed loudly.

"Your family is named..."

"...Bai Ze..."

Dragon City, Star-Gazing Tower.

A middle-aged, balding, and obese man stood on the observatory at the top of the star-gazing tower. Early in the morning, the man fidgeted with his fingers, his expression growing increasingly serious. A few seconds later, he spoke to several awakened individuals standing beside the observatory.

"Go and call Qinglong over."

The disciple nodded and hurried downstairs. A short while later, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and sporting a buzz cut came up.
