Chapter 1

Blue Star.

Xishan Cemetery in Jiangling City.

A woman silently mourned in front of a newly installed tombstone, bidding the tomb owner his last journey.

The tombstone was engraved with the tomb owner's name: Lin Jichen, who died at the age of 29.

The woman's name was Ren Lan, Lin Jichen's college senior.

She stood silently in front of the tombstone, looking at the posthumous photo on the tombstone. The owner in the photo was handsome and elegant, with eyes as bright as stars.

Ren Lan stared at the photo, stunned.

The cemetery staff came over, pushing a shelf with an ebony urn on it.

"It's time to bury it, ma'am, do you want to put it in, or do we do it?" The staff reminded.

"Let me do it."

Ren Lan walked over with a heavy heart, took the urn, and carefully put it into the square pit under the tombstone.

"I didn't expect that after so many years of not seeing each other, we would meet again in such a scene."

Ren Lan talked to herself, with mist in her eyes.

Her voice was a little choked, unable to hide her grief.

"Tell me about you, if you had believed me at the beginning, you wouldn't have ended up like this. You clearly had a promising future in "Eight Wastelands", but you believed the treacherous man and didn't even know you were deceived... Oh, forget it, it's all in the past..."

"Madam, put the deceased's belongings in there too." The staff reminded again.

Ren Lan nodded, and with red eyes, she put the last bit of Lin Jichen's belongings in there.

But suddenly she remembered something, and quickly found a recorder from the belongings.

There was a note on the recorder with a line of small words on it: Ren Lan, I'll open it when I'm buried.

Ren Lan had been remembering it, but she was so sad just now that she almost forgot it.

Looking at the recorder in her hand, Ren Lan chose to play, and a piece of audio was played.

"Crazy woman, long time no see, haha, you didn't expect it, I have become an immortal, I will ascend to the fairyland, I guess we won't have the chance to meet again, I think you will miss me a lot, I'll leave you a recording..."

The voice in the audio is very cheerful, without any seriousness or sadness of leaving last words, and even joked that his death was compared to becoming an immortal.

Ren Lan was not surprised at all, because the Lin Jichen she knew was always so optimistic and sunny.

The recording continued.

"Actually, I want to apologize to you, if I had listened to you earlier, but this is all my own blindness, don't blame others, sorry, my senior sister Ren Lan, if we are destined to meet, we will see each other in the next life, I will continue to be bullied by you, and be your Taekwondo sandbag... hehe... then... we have to say goodbye..."

Hearing this, Ren Lan burst into tears, this is the second time she cried since she could remember.

The first time she cried was when Lin Jichen misunderstood her and broke up with her.

Her strong life, Ren Lan, a woman who claimed to have never cried, was ruined because of Lin Jichen.

However, in the next second, the audio style suddenly changed.

"Fuck! Where is this? Why is it so dark!"

"Shouldn't I become an immortal? Why did you lock me in a small box? Help~"

"Is there anyone to save me? I'm scared~ Yamedie~"

"Da mee da mee! Da mee yo~"

Several staff members nearby were amused. They had never seen such a weird last words.

They would never laugh in this kind of work. They were professionally trained.

Puchi.

Ren Lan also laughed, wiped her tears, and cursed the owner of the tombstone: "Lin Jichen, your uncle!"

....

Ding ding dong dong...

The phone rang, waking up Lin Jichen who was sleeping soundly.

"Hiss, my head hurts so much."

Lin Jichen covered his head and opened his eyes. His body and nose were filled with the unpleasant smell of alcohol and stomach acid caused by vomiting.

Looking at the room that seemed strange but seemed to have been seen somewhere, his brain was a little short-circuited.

"Damn, where is this? Why does it look so much like my dormitory when I was in college."

"Didn't I die after being severely injured by the immortal realm boss Zhu Jiuyin? How come I am still alive?"

"Hey! Where is my storage ring and my Danfu? Why are there nothing?"

...

Ten minutes later.

After Lin Jichen confirmed it again and again, he understood.

He was reborn.

Back to ten years ago!

This year, he had just finished the college entrance examination and was a freshman.

At the age of nineteen, he was immature and full of vitality.

As for why he was reborn, Lin Jichen thought carefully.

If he guessed correctly, it was related to the jade pendant he had stolen from Zhu Jiuyin's cave.

As soon as Lin Jichen got the jade pendant, it disappeared, but a second before he died, he vaguely remembered seeing the jade pendant again, and it was emitting a dazzling light.

Then, he returned to ten years ago.Lin Jichen thought for a moment, and he remembered.

Before "Eight Wastelands" was integrated into the real world, there was always a rumor.

Zhu Jiuyin, the strongest beast in the immortal world, has a supreme artifact called the Pisces Pendant, which can comprehend the laws of heaven.

But no one has ever obtained it. After being framed, he accidentally fell into Zhu Jiuyin's cave.

The jade pendant he got was most likely the legendary Pisces Pendant.

Unexpectedly, this legendary artifact gave him a chance to be reborn.

"Since God doesn't kill me, Xu Zihui, Guo Jie, you two traitors! In this life, I will also let you taste the taste of being abandoned by everyone and suffering!"

Lin Jichen got up and came to the mirror in the dormitory. Looking at himself in the mirror, his eyes flashed with cold light and bone-chilling coldness.

Before his rebirth, he had just experienced the most miserable and desperate time in his life.

Guo Jie, his girlfriend of ten years, betrayed him and got together with his most trusted brother Xu Ziqu.

The two even conspired to cheat him of all the wealth, elixirs, and magic weapons he had accumulated in the past ten years.

In the end, they tricked him into the abyss of Zhu Jiuyin to die.

Even though Lin Jichen was already a powerful person in the Enlightenment Realm and the world's number one magic cultivator at that time, he could not defeat this terrible beast in the Ascension Realm and finally escaped with serious injuries.

However, because of the serious injuries, no medicine could cure it, and Lin Jichen passed away soon.

Lin Jichen looked back on his previous life and found that he had lived a complete tragedy.

A typical case of playing a good hand of cards badly.

He obviously had many better choices and many people who treated him sincerely.

But because of his stubbornness and mysterious confidence in his own vision.

He rejected the girl who was truly kind to him and spoke coldly to her, but embraced the woman with a heart as vicious as a scorpion and obeyed her in everything.

Thinking about it, Lin Jichen felt that he was extremely ridiculous.

God has eyes, let him go back to ten years ago, that is, 2040.

On August 8, 2040, this day.

A virtual online game with 100% simulation degree came out, called "Eight Wastelands".

It was independently developed by the so-called universe-level artificial intelligence "Nuwa", with the culture of many countries as the background, to create this first cross-era virtual online game.

Originally everyone thought it was just a virtual game.

Until five years after the game was launched, strange things happened!

First, a few players discovered that the abilities and magic weapons in the game can be brought into reality, and even the NPCs in the game can come to reality.

Once this discovery was exposed, all human players rushed into "Eight Wastelands" crazily, just to obtain various abilities, cultivation, magic weapons, elixirs, magical powers, etc. in the game.

But what followed was that all kinds of demons, evil spirits, boss villains, vast beasts, etc. in the game also came to reality one after another.

Even the world in the game merged with reality.

It was this game that made Lin Jichen a powerful person in the realm of enlightenment, allowing him to have everything, and at the same time, he also lost everything.

But now, everything starts from scratch and starts all over again.

Lin Jichen believes that with his understanding of "Eight Wastelands" in the past ten years.

He knows all kinds of secret realms, hidden tasks, immortal caves, divine pets, divine weapons, etc. clearly.

Coupled with the skills he has honed in the past ten years, Lin Jichen is absolutely confident that he can become the strongest cultivator in the Eight Wastelands!

This game has been in operation for ten years. If the time for world fusion is excluded, the actual game has only been in operation for five years.

And Lin Jichen has only played for four years.

He came into contact with this game in the second year after the game was publicly tested, and the start was not smooth, and he only got a very useless talent.

Even so, he still came from behind.

He caught up with most of the players and squeezed into the top ten of the [Eight Wasteland Heavenly Ranking].

And the current time is August 7, 2040.

The public beta of "Eight Wastelands" is tonight!

Lin Jichen tried to adjust his breathing and suppress his emotions. He swept away the haze before his rebirth and grinned at the mirror.

In this life, he wants to start over and take revenge!

In this life, he wants to make up for the regrets of his previous life and compensate those he owed.

In this life, he must not miss another year and waste the most precious time in the early stage of the game.

Even if the beginning is still the same as in the previous life, only a tasteless talent.

Lin Jichen is still very confident that he can rely on his understanding of "Eight Wastelands" and ten years of technology to leave everyone far behind and compete for the entire Eight Wastelands world!

Ding Ding Dong Dong...

The phone rang again.

Lin Jichen took the Huawei Tianwen mobile phone from ten years ago, and the caller ID on it was: [Crazy Woman].

Seeing this name, Lin Jichen couldn't help but smile brightly and immediately chose to answer it.

"Xiao Linzi! Why did you answer my call just now? Something big happened. I have some breaking news for you., you must hold on!"

A young and energetic girl's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Jichen didn't care about the content, but simply recalled the voice.

How long has it been since he heard this voice? Ten years.

But it's still so familiar and kind.

"I'm sorry, crazy woman." Lin Jichen whispered suddenly.

"Huh? What's sorry?" The person on the other end obviously didn't react.

"Nothing, just a few words from my heart."
