Chapter 446: Reborn as a Human for the Fifth Time

Then, without wasting any more time, Xu Lei activated the Ten Thousand Lives Book to begin his reincarnation.

His vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

Of course, Xu Lei had descendants—quite a few of them in the mortal world, in fact—so he successfully reincarnated once again.

When Xu Lei woke up again, he found that he had become a one-year-old boy, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a cradle.

“Young Master, you’re awake. Are you hungry? Would you like some milk?”

At that moment, a middle-aged, large-chested woman nearby saw Xu Lei open his eyes. She came over, picked him up, and spoke gently.

As she spoke, she unfastened her top, preparing to feed Xu Lei.

‘Is it because my Power has increased that I’m waking up later in my new life?’

Xu Lei assessed his situation and thought, ‘I’m already a year old the moment I wake up? Is this woman my wet nurse? What kind of family have I been born into this time? Hmm? Another official’s?’

At that moment, fragmented memories belonging to this body entered Xu Lei’s consciousness and were absorbed by him.

These were memories of this body’s experiences, from its time as an embryo until it grew to one year old.

Of course, this body was Xu Lei’s own. He had been reincarnated into it and had been growing all along. It was only at this moment that he began to awaken the memories of his past life.

However, an infant’s memory between the embryonic stage and one year of age isn’t particularly strong.

There wasn’t much for him to remember.

Still, Xu Lei was able to get a rough idea of his current situation.

The world was still ruled by the Great Kang Dynasty.

In his previous life, Xu Lei had helped his father ascend to the throne, after which he cultivated for several more decades before beginning his Ascension.

More than forty years had passed since Xu Lei’s Ascension.

Add to that another thirty years for his last life.

Thus, the Great Kang Dynasty had now existed for over a hundred years.

It could be said that the entire nation had reached its golden age.

The realm was exceedingly prosperous.

Although the Great Kang Royal Family of that era had been Xu Lei’s own family in his previous life, he hadn’t had any children, so his bloodline was not present among the royals.

This time, Xu Lei had not been reincarnated into the Royal Family.

Instead, he had become the son of a Civil Servant.

In truth, Xu Lei couldn’t figure out how his own ancestral bloodline had come to be connected to this family through marriage.

In any case, with so many descendants, intermarriages were bound to happen, and over time, the various lineages became impossible to untangle.

‘Thirty-one years have passed. I wonder how Xin’er and Qing Lian are doing in the Celestial Palace?’ Xu Lei mused with a sigh.

Then, Xu Lei began his Cultivation. However, for someone who had already reached the Bodhisattva Realm, cultivating in the mortal world—rather than the Celestial Palace, and without the help of Spiritual Liquid—yielded almost negligible progress.

In fact, it felt as if he was making no progress whatsoever.

And so, one night, after everyone had fallen asleep,

Xu Lei used his Magical Power to make his one-year-old body levitate and fly away from the Prince’s Mansion.

He flew deep into the Great Xing Mountain Range, arrived at the cave, and retrieved all his Treasures.

“Excellent. The Spatial Talisman, the Spiritual Liquid… they’re all still here. With this Spiritual Liquid, my Cultivation should finally make some progress this time.”

The tiny, one-year-old Xu Lei stood in the cave looking at the treasure from his previous life—the one Yuan Kong had sent down from the sky—and couldn’t help but smile. “The most crucial item is this Spatial Magical Artifact from Yuan Kong,” he said. “It’s absolutely enormous—as big as a basketball court from Earth! If I were to fill this with explosives, take it to the Celestial Palace, and detonate it all at once… I wonder what would happen? Would it be enough to kill that Saint Master?”
