When going through the lobby to meet the king (adoptive father), he came across his brothers, who were also on the way.
He greeted them with a smile, but they ignored him completely. Their relationship, he now remembered, was full of hatred and contempt.
He was the youngest of three brothers, and also without any background (in this world), so they treated him like trash—even though he had once been a genius with rapid cultivation speed.
His brothers had reached Middle Deity Transformation at the age of 40. But he, at just 18 years old, had reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage—something his brothers only achieved at 24 and 25.
His first brother's mother came from the powerful Sharma family, known for wealth and political power. The king favored him because the Sharma family could fuel his dream of continent-wide conquest.
His second brother's mother came from the Saini family, known for unmatched strategic brilliance. No martial strength, but their minds ruled cities.
He, however, came from a peasant family—in the eyes of the world. But in truth, he carried the blood of another world, with immense secrets that could start a war across dimensions. This must remain hidden.
As he approached the royal chamber, a system notification popped up:
[You have to train your body.]
By doing running and push-ups until exhaustion.Reward – 100 Good Karma Points and a Divine Taiji Sword Technique.
By killing any level of monsters (0/100), but the count must not be less than 100.Reward – 100 Bad Karma Points and breakthrough to Middle Deity Transformation + Domain creation.
He smiled. The Taiji Sword Technique had been lost for over 10,000 years—yet it could now be his. But he would decide after meeting the king.
The chamber doors loomed ahead.
He knocked.
A deep voice echoed from within:"COME."
Just one word—and everyone felt as if their bones were freezing.
Inside stood a man whose very presence was madness and war incarnate—the Tyrant Monarch, King of Pritampur.
