Chapter 1

Celestial Sphere

Dahe City

In an old residential building, a young man lay in a dim room; the room was not large and very simple, containing only a bed and a wardrobe.

Not knowing how long had passed, the youth in his sleep suddenly furrowed his brows, as if about to wake, but after a moment his brows relaxed again, as if about to fall back into sleep, just when one thought the youth would drift off again.

Pa!

Only seeing the youth on the bed suddenly roll over and fall towards the floor beneath the bed, heavily hitting the concrete floor below, while the youth's body shrank and darted under the bed.

One minute, two minutes……

As time passed, Chen Shoushan cautiously poked his head out from under the bed.

Huh? Where is this?

——————

Bathroom

"Really nostalgic!"

Chen Shoushan stood before the mirror, touching his face.

The face in the mirror, about twenty years old, handsome features, high nose bridge, fair skin, striking to behold; this was also Chen Shoushan's youthful appearance.

Chen Shoushan, a transmigrator, this is his second transmigration; the first time in the world of Lord of Mysteries, he became a minor noble of Lu En, eagerly he greatly desired to become an Extraordinary Person, after all who wouldn't want to be the next Huang Tao and taste the flavor of power? But seeing that there were still ten years until the protagonist's arrival, helplessly he had to strive on his own, painstakingly searching for the opportunity to become an Extraordinary Person.

Thus Chen Shoushan became an Extraordinary Person on the Lawyer path, relying on his foreknowledge of the Role-Playing Method, plus the natural advantage of being a native noble of Lu En, he smoothly rose to the rank of Corrupt Baron of Sequence 6, after which further advancement seemed hopeless, because neither the advancement ceremony nor the potions would be readily given by those above.

The hopeless Chen Shoushan was not in a hurry; on one hand he hid his ambition, on the other he awaited the protagonist's arrival. Of course Chen Shouwang also did not forget his own enjoyment; unmarried, he used his position and extraordinary abilities to amass hundreds of mistresses, and with the barbarians' blessing, he was invincible in battle.

But heaven's weather is unpredictable; upon waking, Chen Shoushan discovered he had transmigrated again. Although he wasn't sure whether he had truly transmigrated or been arranged by the audience's high Sequence, it didn't matter—what could a Sequence 6 like him possibly resist?

"Dachangshi, Great Capital City, Great Sea City……"

Chen Shoushan discovered he had come to a more dangerous world—Mysterious Resurgence. If the Lord of Mysteries world allowed one to muddle through for a few decades and survive, then Mysterious Resurgence was just a matter of luck.

To ordinary people, this world is no less than hell on earth; if they accidentally encounter a supernatural event, ordinary people cannot survive more than three seconds.

However, this world is also an opportunity; chaos and order intertwine, presenting a chance for the ambitious.

Before the mirror, Chen Shoushan slowly extended his right hand; a card slowly rose, its front showing a man seated on an ancient stone throne, his head crowned with a black crown inlaid with countless gems, he wore black armor, draped with a black cloak, holding a scepter, his eyes coldly gazing ahead.

Blasphemous Card—Black Emperor!

Chen Shoushan could hardly leave such a treasure gathering dust in a museum; after great effort he obtained it, which is also his confidence, the confidence to climb upward.

The Blasphemous Card records all potion formulas and rituals from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0, greatly saving Chen Shoushan the time spent searching for formulas, and is also why he could reach Sequence 6 in a short time.

Who would have thought it also followed him into this world!

Chen Shoushan looked in astonishment at the floating card before him, his thoughts stirring.

Immediately, the card became three-dimensional, transforming into a book; the book flipped open on its own, turning to the first page.

"Sequence 9- Lawyer"

"Skilled at discovering and exploiting rule loopholes and opponents' weaknesses, adept at striking foes with order, possessing eloquence and persuasive extraordinary abilities, and able to some extent twist or guide the target's thinking, making one feel amiable and willing to believe……"

"Potion Formula……"

…………

The pages flipped quickly, soon stopping on a page.

"Sequence 5- Chaos Instructor"

Increasing dignity and physique, causing surrounding beings to unconsciously lower their stance, wanting to submit.

Chaos: causes the locked target or a surrounding area to fall into chaos, making it hard for attacks to hit oneself and making enemies prone to choose wrongly.

Advancement Ritual: after extreme chaos, before order is reborn, take the potion; moreover, the greater the chaos, the higher the success rate.

The content above was very familiar to Chen Shoushan, after all it was something he had long coveted; what truly surprised him was the thing slowly emerging from the pages.

From the book slowly floated a clenched, semi-transparent black fist; the fist intuitively conveyed a sense of power and eeriness, its patterns, light specks, and nails appearing to follow normal rules yet filled with discordant meaning, as if hiding great madness and chaos.

An Extraordinary Trait, it is the Extraordinary Trait left behind by a Chaos Pastor! Possessing it allows one, without needing main ingredients, to simply complete the ritual and have a great chance of becoming Sequence Five — Chaos Pastor.

This is something I craved in my previous life, yet now it appears so easily before me, making Chen Shoushan feel as if it were a dream, utterly unbelievable.

Moreover, Chen Shoushan clearly sensed that the cards contained not only the Chaos Pastor's Extraordinary Trait, but also Sequence Nine and all subsequent Extraordinary Traits, meaning he could become an Extraordinary Person once again in this world, even reaching Sequence Zero — Black Emperor.

"This… looks like my previous efforts weren't in vain!"

After the shock, Chen Shoushan couldn't contain his joy; this time he finally had a cheat, though it was a cheat he fought tooth and nail for, it is still his reliance for surviving in this weird world.

Suddenly the pages trembled violently, and four white-mist-filled crystalline solids shot out from the book; looking at the four floating Extraordinary Traits before him, Chen Shoushan felt a very familiar sensation.

"No, it can't be what I'm thinking, can it?"

Chen Shoushan licked his somewhat chapped lips.

The next moment, the Extraordinary Trait, as if drawn by a magnet, was pulled toward Chen Shoushan, rushing at him and instantly merging into his body.

"Damn, aren't you afraid of playing me to death?"

Even after two lifetimes, Chen Shoushan still keeps the national essence in mind; when it's time to scold, he must scold.

A few seconds later, an unstoppable wave of pain struck, as if every organ in his body had conceived dozens of babies, making his whole body feel like an overinflated balloon about to burst.

Damn, this familiar feeling—when Chen Shoushan first became an Extraordinary Person he also endured such pain, accompanied by some unknown whispers, but nothing like today's agony; he just leapt from mortal to Sequence Six in one breath!

Fortunately, this seemed to be Chen Shoushan's original Extraordinary Trait, so there wasn't much rejection, thus avoiding losing control on the spot and dropping dead.

After who knows how long, the pain slowly subsided, and Chen Shoushan dazedly let out a breath; he had finally made it through. Since becoming Baron Ru'en he had been indulging in pleasure, which almost caused him to fail this time.

Looking at his drenched self in the mirror, the exhausted Chen Shoushan swept his sweat‑slicked hair back with his hand, revealing a somewhat pale but still handsome face.

"Ah, I still have to bathe myself, what a hassle!"

Accustomed to noble life, Chen Shoushan really wasn't used to suddenly being thrown back to a pre‑liberation lifestyle overnight; once he becomes glorious again he must restore the Great Emperor's glory, otherwise wouldn't that be embarrassing for a transmigrator?
