Congratulations! You have obtained the hidden reward of this Dream‑Reincarnation!

Finally arrived.

What exactly is the mysterious reward?

Lin Chuan had been waiting for a long time.

He hoped this reward could change the future outcome, alter his daughter Rumeng's fate.

Before the reward is revealed, host, please view another ending of the future world.

It was then that Lin Chuan realized.

The ninth special achievement surprisingly has two different illumination methods.

It also has a name—Finally become An Ying.

He saw another ending: if he does not make a change, he will ultimately become like An Ying Zhu, turning into a wandering 'Black Mist' in the Chaos Universe.

The soul will eventually be absorbed by instinctual desire, becoming a predator of infinite devouring evolution.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan broke out in cold sweat.

If the future also reaches this point, without the control of conscious intent, no longer a dream that can be awakened, can he achieve this?

Lin Chuan does not dare to guarantee.

Even though it has already occurred once in the dream, he does not dare to guarantee that his former self would not sink.

Two selves from different eras may not be able to empathize.

The resolve now does not guarantee future steadfastness.

The intense loneliness in the Dream‑Reincarnation has continued to affect Lin Chuan up to now, like a nightmare implanted in his heart.

System, what exactly is the reward?

The reward of this Dream‑Reincarnation is—Shikong traversal.

If the host still has regrets, if the host believes that restarting from a certain moment of fate can change everything, you may return there.

One more time!

But this time, you must have an unshakable belief in victory.

Lin Chuan was stunned.

It can still be like this?

If I travel back to the era before the Real World, what will happen?

It will change according to you.

So, everything that exists now will disappear, and the entire timeline will be completely scrambled?

Yes.

What kind of reward is this!

Where there is loss there is gain; returning to the past, you have a chance to reverse everything.

Flowers may bloom again, but a person never regains youth.

But now, this opportunity is before you.

As long as you reach the pinnacle, everything will return; the loss is only a dream, and this all depends on your belief.

The belief in whether you can succeed!

If the host refuses this hidden reward, the system will convert it into points as a compensatory reward.

But the same reward will not be generated again.

Lin Chuan hesitated.

The future Dream‑Reincarnation made him feel intense pressure.

Especially the final words of An Ying Zhu,

"No matter how many times it comes, I will wait for you at the end of fate!"

Another point that concerned Lin Chuan is that the conditions to become immortal in the Nine-Phase Realm of the Real World are excessively harsh.

According to the memories of the future Dream‑Reincarnation,

The eventual chance for All Immortals to battle An Ying Zhu arose because the Heavenly Dao was already in a half‑collapse state; Yang Zu forcibly ascended, using the Profound Heaven Purple Pillar to merge with the Heavenly Dao, exhausting the power of all living beings, thereby creating the opportunity to ascend.

Such Immortals, like the few Guardians of the Jing Tu era, have a ceiling that is too low.

They cannot defeat An Ying.

Following this trend will only repeat the same mistake.

Lin Chuan made an estimate in his mind: after ascending, the realms still have a huge gap.

He internally made a division.

The first layer of the Immortal Realm is to open the Immortal Gate.

The second layer of the Immortal Realm requires perceiving heaven and earth, aligning with the Dao; for example, the Human Ancestor who first created the Human Race is at this level.

The third layer of the Immortal Realm demands merging special forces, such as Dao fruits from other Immortal Realms.

At the end of the Ancient God Absolute Realm cycle, the Human Ancestor had already reached this level, far surpassing other Ancient Gods.

This level already possesses the power to counter the yet‑unevolved Black Mist.

In the future Dream‑Reincarnation, it incorporates

the fourth layer of the Immortal Realm, which requires the blessing of a unique Dao, such as the Reincarnation body Shu that controls the full power of the cycle.

For instance, Rumeng, who is born with Forbidden power.

This realm can contend with An Ying Zhu, but cannot slay him; ultimately it will fall into defeat.

The Fifth Layer of the Immortal Realm is a state that merges Forbidden, controls Reincarnation, and has all living beings and heaven and earth imposed upon the body, capable of fully suppressing An Ying Zhu.

In theory, as long as one reaches the Fourth Layer of the Immortal Realm before Black Mist evolves into the complete form of An Ying Zhu, there is a chance to utterly crush him.

As for the Fifth Layer of the Immortal Realm, Lin Chuan has no idea how to enter this realm by the second method.

"Right now, what I lack most is time."

"If I must choose, starting over from the ancient era is the best opportunity."

"With ample cultivation time, and when the heavenly rules are at their most complete in the Nine-phase World, the path to Immortal is clear."

"The chance of entering the Fourth Layer of the Immortal Realm is the highest!"

One more thing: before the final great war of the ancient era, reinforcements from another Great World had not yet fallen.

The Human Ancestor who has already reached the Third Layer of the Immortal Realm, along with his good brothers Hong, Chi, and Xi, all came to aid in the final battle.

Reopening from the ancient era is the best chance for reversal!

After much deliberation, Lin Chuan made a decision.

"System, can I traverse to the ancient era? I have not experienced the Dream Reincarnation life?"

【Yes.】

【Friendly reminder: this is a Shikong traversal, not another Dream Reincarnation; after going back, you will not be able to return.】

【As compensation, this System will unlock another special function for the host.】

【Host, would you like to claim the Shikong traversal opportunity?】

"Claim it!"

Lin Chuan gritted his teeth.

【Would you like to use it? Please select the time anchor you need to traverse to!】

"Use it!"

"To that life in the ancient era."

【Received!】

【Host, please prepare; Shikong traversal in progress.】

Boom!

Lin Chuan's consciousness roared with a boom, followed by intense pain, his soul feeling as if torn apart.

【Ding!】

【Shikong traversal has ended.】

Lin Chuan's consciousness remains hazy, but his resolve is now firm.

The last time, he painfully lost his beloved, watching his five cherished wives collapse in a pool of blood, his sister sacrifice herself, a close friend ascend to the heavens, and his daughter perish.

Ever losing my love, I look up to desolation.

In this life, having been reborn, I will definitely reclaim everything that belongs to me!

Crooked mouth? Laugh!

Snap! Snap snap!

The next moment, Lin Chuan felt a sharp pain in his little face.

He couldn't open his eyes; with a hazy awareness he only saw a tiny foot kicking his face wildly.

"What is this..."

"Reborn back to the womb?"
