chapter 1 Immortal respects life

"Arno Lin, as a member of the Lin family, how can you do such a thing? Can you still call yourself a person?"
"Arno Lin, I thought of you as a brother, but you turned out to be such a beast!"
"Arno Lin, I seriously misjudged you!"
Several sharp voices rang out, both male and female, filled with intense anger.

At this moment, Arno Lin felt an excruciating headache, as if his head were about to split open, and as if it were being filled with tons of heavy cement, weighing him down.

"It hurts..."
Arno Lin subconsciously sat up, his hands instinctively reaching out in front of him. What he touched was something soft, followed by a strong and pungent fragrance. This sensation made Arno Lin open his eyes abruptly.

"Where am I? Who are you?"
In front of him was a bewitching woman he had never seen before, quietly sobbing with a deeply resentful look in her eyes.

Arno Lin couldn't help but be shocked.

"You scoundrel, how far are you willing to take this act?"
The woman in front of him delivered a slap to his face.

Arno Lin's expression changed, and he tried to intervene, but he was surprised to find that he was completely powerless. This body didn't seem to belong to him.

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Arno Lin was extremely shocked. How could this seemingly weak woman hurt him? It was impossible.

His complexion shifted, and Arno Lin immediately tried to focus his consciousness to figure out what had gone wrong. But the next moment, an explosive wave of pain in his mind left him greatly astonished.

He couldn't even gather his consciousness now!

What was happening? He was the Great Master of the Fantasy World, capable of controlling the elements at will. How did he suddenly become like this, with his thousands of years of cultivation seemingly erased?

This fact left Arno Lin feeling extremely shocked.

Another wave of intense pain, and Arno Lin remembered. He had found an ancient relic called the "Eye of Heavens" when exploring an ancient site. It was then that his most trusted master and brothers betrayed him. His beloved Zeki Chen had sacrificed herself to save him, and he lost consciousness afterward.

"Zeki, where are you?"
Arno Lin gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage. "Chilong Great Master, Zeki Chen is your own daughter, and you showed no mercy at all. You beast!"

In his mind, a scene flashed—Zeki Chen's cold face, looking at him, and then selflessly taking a fatal blow for him. That pitiful smile tore Arno Lin apart.

"No, this isn't the Fantasy World. This is... Earth?"

Arno Lin looked around the unfamiliar surroundings, a luxurious hotel suite, and his expression changed once again. A flood of memories suddenly rushed into his mind, unearthing long-buried recollections.

In his mind, the dusty memories from his previous life on Earth started to become clear and awakened once more. He had been a person on Earth in his past life, and eventually, he ascended to become an immortal, entering the Fantasy World. Now, thousands of years later, he had somehow returned to Earth and had reincarnated as a debauched young man.

"Arno Lin, after committing such despicable acts, what nonsense are you spouting now? How long do you plan to continue with this act?"

A shout snapped his attention back to the present. He observed his surroundings and sensed that something was amiss. He was inside a luxurious hotel suite, and in front of him sat a disheveled woman with tear-stained cheeks. Several angry men stood beside her, pointing at him and hurling accusations.

"Arno Lin, you dare to harass your own sister-in-law, are you even human?"

This statement made Arno Lin shiver. With his thousands of years of experience, he quickly understood what was happening and felt a throbbing headache.

This debauched young man, before his crossover, had not intended to harm the woman but had been drugged and set up to die?

"Arno Lin, for your vile actions, you'll become infamous in the city tomorrow! We will make sure to inform your elder brother and your family about this!"

The group took out their cameras and began taking pictures.

"Not good!" Although he had been away from Earth for thousands of years, Arno Lin still remembered what a camera was. If he were photographed like this, it would be a real problem.

Arno Lin tried to stand up but realized he had no strength. Even just lying down took a lot of effort.

"Arno Lin, you beast, we'll make sure you pay tomorrow!"

The group cursed vehemently. Arno Lin was surprised because he learned from the person's memories that these people, who were currently cursing at him, were some of his closest friends.

This Arno Lin had also been betrayed by his most trusted people, just like he had in his past life.

"Friends, we are in the same boat. Don't worry; I won't let these scoundrels off easily!"

Arno Lin gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger, whether due to events from his previous life or his current predicament, he couldn't tell.

After taking pictures of Arno Lin and the seductive woman, the group left with satisfaction. Just before leaving, the woman glanced back at Arno Lin and gave a cold smile, her eyes filled with indifference.

This woman with a venomous heart was actually his sister-in-law?

Arno Lin clenched his teeth, filled with anger, but he still had no strength to stand up.

In his fury, Arno Lin suddenly realized that the woman had been fully clothed earlier, but now she was standing in front of him in her underwear.

"What's going on? She was clearly wearing clothes just now."

Arno Lin was perplexed but didn't dwell on it because the most crucial thing at the moment was how to survive. This body still contained a significant amount of toxins. If he didn't do something about it, he might die soon after returning.

"Damn it, if I could use the Fantasy Dragon Formula..."

Arno Lin gritted his teeth, realizing he couldn't even move, and his meridians were damaged in many places. This evil woman had clearly beaten him.

"Grr... Is it possible that I, Junhe Great Master, will meet my end so soon after my rebirth? No! It's impossible! I will kill those wretches!"

"They must die!"

Arno Lin's eyes blazed with intense hatred. Just then, he noticed a bright light in his eyes, and a luminous glass bead with a mysterious radiance appeared from his forehead.

"The Eye of Heaven?"

Seeing the bead, Arno Lin was overjoyed and carefully held it in his hand, his eyes showing a different determination.

"Debauched young man? A waste? No! I am Junhe Great Master and I'm going to return!"

"All those who owe me, tremble and wait for me!"

Arno Lin laughed heartily, looking to the sky.
