Chapter 1

### The Reincarnation Continent

### Xia Guo Hu City Third Reincarnation High School

"Soon, we'll be taking the past life test. I hope my past life was a great emperor, punching the Southern Mountains and kicking the Northern Sea."

"You wish? I don't have high hopes; I just hope my past life was a knight, a handsome and graceful man."

"Hey, I heard that Teacher Pan awakened another past life. It seems she was a great beauty, her husband's surname is Wu, and his family runs a restaurant, making good pancakes. But her younger brother-in-law is a violent man who once killed a cat after drinking."

"Wow, what abilities did she awaken from that past life?"

"I'm not sure. After awakening that past life, Teacher Pan became very mysterious, locking herself in her office and saying she needs some peace and quiet."

"Past life test? Reincarnation Continent? Universal reincarnation?"

In the classroom of Class 4, Senior High School, classmate Shen Xujin looked around with curiosity.

穿越？

This is a world where everyone cultivates and possesses a brilliant martial path.

But the problem is, the cultivation system in this world is quite peculiar.

In this world, everyone gradually awakens their past life memories after the age of ten and inherits the wisdom of their past lives.

Through this, they gradually gain the power of their past lives.

This wisdom is innate.

Some people awaken to a past life as a super scientist.

Some people awaken to a past life as a great talent.

Some people awaken to a past life as a martial arts expert.

These past lives have brought very valuable information and martial arts legacies to the Reincarnation Continent.

Of course, many peculiar things have happened during this period.

For example, someone awakened to a past life as a mortal enemy, but in this life, they became lovers.

That's still considered good.

Many people's past enemies, who had killed their entire families, became their fathers in this life.

Some past friends became couples in this life.

In short, since the Reincarnation Continent began recording history, many things that challenge the three views have occurred.

Fortunately, awakening a past life only means inheriting the wisdom of that past life.

These past life memories are known to you, but they are not directly integrated into your brain.

Whether you are influenced by this wisdom depends on the individual.

"The rules of this world are like this. The Reincarnation Continent experienced a cultural break from the very beginning..."

Shen Xujin recalled the original body's memories and was very curious.

"I wonder what my past life memories will be like."

Shen Xujin thought for a moment and then looked worried.

In his past life, he was just a recently graduated, poor college student.

One could say he had nothing except for his good looks.

Even if he awakened the wisdom of his past life, what good would good looks do?

In his past life, he struggled for work, even working tirelessly in a 996 schedule, but it didn't change his fate.

In this life, facing powerful beings who can change the world and many people who have become strong through awakening, life would be even harder.

"Classmates, the past life test is coming soon. Out of the 50 students in our class, some who have not yet awakened their past lives will participate in the test. Please prepare well."

At the lectern, a teacher with black-rimmed glasses, a delicate face, and a good figure walked in.

It was the class teacher, Pan Yan.

Shen Xujin's thoughts were drawn to Pan Yan. According to the original body's memories, Pan Yan had recently awakened another past life.

"Her husband's surname is Wu, he makes pancakes, uh... does he drink medicine very quickly?"

"Her younger brother-in-law killed a cat after drinking... later, her husband died of illness..."

Shen Xujin's expression was strange; this memory seemed familiar.

Pan Yan continued speaking, but the content was just a repetition of what had been said before.

Everyone was already tired of hearing it.

Although many people awaken the wisdom of their past lives after the age of ten, there are exceptions.

Some people awaken very late, but the latest is at the age of 20.

If they don't awaken by 20, it's almost certain they won't awaken at all.

Here, being able to awaken wisdom is also an honor and a capability.

Because those who awaken wisdom naturally cultivate faster.

Some people even inherit some abilities directly.

Therefore, those who can awaken powerful wisdom are highly valued in society.

They often stand at the top of the pyramid, obtaining status and wealth that ordinary people can hardly reach.

"Everyone, remember, this is the last time the school will provide a free awakening of past life memories. Please seize this opportunity."

Awakening memories has two methods.

One is self-awakening.

The rules of the Reincarnation Continent are a bit special, and many people can self-awaken the wisdom of their past lives.

The second is artificial awakening.

After thousands of years of development, humans have mastered various methods to awaken the wisdom of past lives.

But this method often requires a significant cost.

Ordinary poor children can't afford it.

"Alright, now follow me to the playground to begin the awakening ceremony."

【Ding!】

Shen Xujin had just stood up when he suddenly heard a voice.

"Huh? Brain pinched? No..."

At this moment, Shen Xujin noticed a panel appearing in front of him.

【Detected abnormal soul power, awakened past life talent: Life Editing Deduction.】

Past life talent?

Shen Xujin's eyes lit up with surprise.

Judging by the name, it seemed he could edit his past life!

He checked it immediately.

After understanding the content, he realized how suitable it was for his current situation.

Life Editing Deduction, in simple terms, allows him to write his own life.

For example, when awakening past life memories, using the editing deduction, he could create a new past life, changing the trajectory of his past life.

"Then, is the plot I edit real?"

Shen Xujin didn't know.

There was no indication.

"Regardless, let's try it now."

But at this moment, his desk partner, Yang Jie, excitedly came over: "Shen Xujin, do you have confidence?"

Yang Jie was short but agile, with long hair styled like a certain celebrity.

While speaking, his body moved flexibly, quite agile.

This was because he had awakened memories last year, and his past life was a dancer at weddings and funerals.

Unconsciously, he became a good dancer.

The only problem was that he liked to shake his head frequently.

Seeing the excited Yang Jie, Shen Xujin asked strangely, "What's up?"

"You failed to awaken twice before. I don't think you'll succeed this time either. But don't worry, a bar is looking for a dancer. I'll introduce you."

Hearing this, Shen Xujin was speechless. Is it a good omen for a bar to hire you as a dancer?

Thinking about it, he sighed. In his two previous awakenings, the second one was actually successful.

【0 years old: You were born, a girl, and because of premature birth, you were weak.】

【2 years old: You were always hungry. A male child was born in the family, and your parents were very happy. They gave you away.】

【3 years old: You were weak and abused, fell seriously ill, and your adoptive parents, seeing you wouldn't survive, threw you on the back mountain. You froze to death.】

This kind of past life, although awakened, was considered a "useless past life" due to its tragic life.

"I think, a person can't be so unlucky all the time, right?"

"Old Shen, accept your fate. You should prepare in advance. Otherwise, you won't find a job after graduation."

...

...

The two chatted as they followed the crowd to the playground.

While walking, Shen Xujin kept studying the Life Editing Deduction.

Through understanding, he knew the general usage.

It means, first deduce your past life, then edit the parts that are not smooth.

Of course, editing requires consuming soul points.

And changing key fates can also earn soul points.

At this moment, Shen Xujin had already taken his place in the queue. Seeing that the past life awakening was about to begin, he decided to deduce his life first.

【Deduction begins.】

【Prompt: Deduction times are unlimited. Each deduction ends with a three-day cooldown.】

【Prompt: During the life editing process, you can consume soul points to edit your life.】

【Prompt: After awakening, you can obtain everything from your past life by consuming soul points.】

【Current soul points: 100.】

...

At this moment, Shen Xujin found that prompts kept appearing in his mind.

And flashbacks of scenes appeared.

【0 years old: You were born in the Shen family, the son of a guard. You are a boy.】

【1 year old: Your father tested your martial talent, and you showed excellent talent.】

【4 years old: You were very smart and became the leader among the servant children.】

【5 years old: You met a strange girl who played with you every day.】

【6 years old: You learned the girl's name was Shen Bi Jun. Your father told you that masters and servants are different and forbade you from playing with her.】

【7 years old: Shen Bi Jun challenged you to a duel, but you ignored her.】

【8 years old: Shen Bi Jun gave you a pill to help you cultivate. In return, you took her to play in the back mountain, thinking no one would find out.】

【9 years old: Once in the back mountain, Shen Bi Jun fell and was injured. The Shen family punished you. Your father pleaded for you, but you were beaten and lost a hand.】

【10 years old: Your hand healed, and you continued to practice martial arts. You saw Shen Bi Jun again, but you turned away.】

【12 years old: You shone in a competition but were envied by the steward.】

【13 years old: You were poisoned, and Shen Bi Jun bought medicine for you.】

【14 years old: Due to the poisoning, your martial arts progress stagnated. Shen Bi Jun promised to take you to the Spirit Mountain to cultivate.】

【15 years old: The Shen family was attacked, and the higher-ups were poisoned, leading to a total massacre. Shen Bi Jun wanted to die with them, but you knocked her out and escaped from the Shen family.】

【16 years old: You and Shen Bi Jun became beggars and went to the Spirit Mountain to cultivate and seek revenge for your clan.】

【17 years old: You were deceived, and Shen Bi Jun was kidnapped.】
