My name is Shen Wei.

My father… I don't know who he was. He left my mother and sister when I was just born, and my sister was five years old.

When I turned 16, my sister suddenly fell into a mysterious illness. Worrying about her, our mother passed away.

I mastered the Nine Sky Demon Sword, along with White Dragon Spear. When I returned, I killed all my enemies and became the Heavenly Demon.

By the age of 60, which was still much too young for a martial artist, I had conquered the Azure Cloud Domain with my several wives. I also reached the pinnacle of the Xiantian Realm.

After becoming the ruler, I happily stayed ever after.

" Huh?"

Sitting on a cliff, staring at the flowing clouds, Shen Wei felt a strange ache in his mind.

" Wh-What's this? I… I already lived this life before?"

Alas, before he could think anymore, he naturally lost his life.

My name is Shen Wei.

" Wait! Wait!"

" Shen Wei! What's happening?! Where are you going?!"

His mom shouted, but Shen Wei simply jumped out of bed and ran outside. He ran and ran till his lungs started to burn from breathlessness.

" Wh-What's happening? I…I swear I have seen all these. No, I haven't just seen this lifetime. I… I have clearly died once. And I also…I also became the Heavenly Demon!"

" Then why… How many times… I have to see this? Wh-What's happening?"

" Ah, so you are awake? But what are you doing here?"

Shen Wei looked behind him as he saw a handsome young man. He was wearing a flowing white robe with azure cloud patterns on it. A straw hat covered his head, but it only added more mysteriousness to his charm.

" Shouldn't you return and go for the hunt for Purple Crown Flower?" The young man spoke in a surprised voice, " Also, try fixing the debt of your home and finding a cure for your sister?"

" Wh-Who are you?!" Shen Wei became alarmed as he stared at the young man. Despite living so many lifetimes, he couldn't recall meeting such an individual.

" How did you know about this?"

" What? Should I forget the new Heavenly Demon?" The young man chuckled, " Hurry up and start practicing martial arts. After all, you should have already understood everything by now."

" Understand what?" Shen Wei tried to grab something from his waist, but he realized he didn't have any weapons. After all, at this period of time, he had no sword.

He readied his fist as he glared at the young man, " You! You know about my regression! Why? Why hasn't it ended yet?!"

" Haha, fists? Are you going to use the Overlord Dominion Fist?" The young man chuckled, " Be careful, you barely have any internal energy now. Using that can rupture your meridians and make you a cripple instantly."

" Yo-You!!"

" As for your regression." The young man spoke, interrupting Shen Wei, " I know about it. And you should too. Just live your two lives. After all, it's you who wants to live in this cage."

" Cage? What do you mean?"

The young man removed his conical hat as he looked at the young man. " Can you not understand what treasure you are using? That bracelet is your cage."

" This… Isn't a cage. This… This helped me to fulfill my revenge." Shen Wei clenched his fist, " Without this, I would have died with my regret!"

" And you managed to remove your regrets." The young man explained, " Long ago, in fact. But now, you are in this loop. Keep having regret and keep amending them."

" All because of that treasure. It's simply sending you back in time and keeping you inside the time loop." The young man shrugged, " Yes, you managed to take your revenge, but at what cost?"

" This…"

Shen Wei felt stumped as he looked at the jade bracelet in his hand. The bracelet seemed to vibrate, warming slightly.

" Does this mean… It's like a… dream?"

" Not exactly." The young man explained, " This is reality. However, you are just stuck in this small fabric of reality. But the thing is, you can do many things."

" For example, you can just leave your sister and mother to die. And in the meantime, you can travel across the world, see new things."

" NEVER! I WILL NEVER!" Shen Wei raged, " How can I do that?!"

" I mean, I am just giving an example." The young man shrugged, " There is a way… But, as long as you carry that treasure, you can never escape anyway."

" There is a way? What way?!" Shen Wei's eyes sparkled as he looked at the young man.

The young man shrugged, " I mean, see, you already fulfilled your dream. More than one time, by the way."

" A soul is supposed to travel through lives, yet you are stuck in a single lifetime. Don't you think you should be ready for your next life?"

" Give up the treasure and live a natural life."

" This…" Shen Wei looked at the young man as he fell into a deep thought. Suddenly, the bracelet seemed to be clenched hard, making Shen Wei wince in pain.

" Damn it! What's happening?! Shen Wei groaned, " Wait, I have never seen you in any in my life. How do you know so much? You want me to give this treasure to you?"

" Yes, you have never seen me. But I have seen you." The young man grinned, " You can say… I am the guide who leads souls to the cycle of samsara. But you are an anomaly, so obviously I am keeping an eye on you."

" As for that fellow…" He pointed at the bracelet, " That evil thing is slowly draining your soul with each regression. Hence, it's unwilling to let you go."

" Anyways, I have other stuff to do." The young man looked at Shen Wei, " What do you choose? Keep feeding this artifact and keep living this life? Or live a life of true freedom?"

" Trust me, even without it, you can reach the same stage as your previous life."

The bracelet seemed to buzz more and more as it was terrified. But Shen Wei already had memories of many similar past lives, making him feel tired.

" You are correct. I know everything about how the future will unfold. This time…" Shen Wei looked at the bracelet as he pulled it out, " I will do without it."

The bracelet buzzed as it floated towards the young man. The young man caught it with a smile. " Excellent choice, Shen Wei. I will take it."

" However, I am not heartless enough to snatch your opportunity." The young man turned to leave. " Return home, I have prepared a pleasant surprise for you."

Before Shen Wei could react, the young man had already vanished.

' Damn it! He still didn't reveal who he was!" Shen Wei felt angry for a moment. However, he was curious about the gift the young man had spoken.

He hurriedly returned home, seeing that his mother was sitting in anxiety. She saw Shen Wei and hurried to him, " Where did you run off to? I was so worried!"

" Mother… I… I am sorry." Shen Wei hugged her as her sister arrived. " I will fix everything."

As the family was enjoying itself, Shen Wei heard some commotion outside. Curious, he and his family went outside. The moment he looked at the sky, his face turned pale in an instant.

The sky was darkened as a large meteor fell from the sky, obscuring the sun.

*BOOOM!*

The moment it crashed, a loud explosion happened as flames spread like tidal waves.

Shen Wei and his family stood with shocked expressions as the flames reached them in an instant.

Somehow, Shen Wei recalled how the stranger said he had prepared a gift for him.

" BASTA-"

The flames covered them in an instant before he could react.

God's Space.

" Damn, you really managed to secure the treasure." Su Qingyao mumbled as she saw Jun Tianyun holding the bracelet, " Quality is almost comparable to top rank immortal treasures I have seen. But to think it can regress a person through time!"

Jun Tianyun chuckled as he looked at the treasure, " Well, not anymore. The Radiant Dragon Mystic Bracelet is mine."

" But did you really had to drop a meteor?"
