Snap!
"Fuck, not again..." Wang Xiao's eyes snapped open, and instinctively, he knew he was alive yet again.
Naked!
Stranded in an unfamiliar place!
It was uncomfortably rigid to lie there, so he quickly scanned his surroundings, his expression freezing almost imdiately.
SCREEEEEEEECHHH!
A giant bird screeched omniously just in front of him, and before he could fully grasp the situation, he found himself being fed to her hungry chicks.
"..."
At this mont, Wang Xiao wasn't even surprised.
Instead, he felt a deep, numbing trauma.
This was the thirty-eighth ti he had died and co back!
He had co to realize that in this bizarre place, dying was an impossibility!
Every ti he died, he would respawn like a character in a video ga, maintaining the sa physique he had upon his initial arrival, except for his eyes, which seed irrevocably lost.
Nevertheless, he had resolved to turn this neverending cycle to his advantage!
With each revival, he would consolidate all his accumulated knowledge, growing stronger each ti.
Then, he would strategize new ways to extend his survival.
His record so far had spanned a few decades without facing death!
However, the solitude and the endless cycle of death and rebirth had worsened his temper, leaving him increasingly irritable and quick to anger.
Now Wang Xiao understood why none of those who had went into the graveyard of gods ever spoke of their experiences within its confines.
It was fucking terrible!
Nevertheless, Wang Xiao himself hadn't anticipated that on his sixty-seventh revival, after surviving a full century for the first ti...
Roaaaaarr!
Before him stood a huge tiger, its two elongated fangs each stretching over ten ters, issuing a thunderous roar.
Clad rely in a rough animal skin, Wang Xiao was perched atop a stone, lost in deep ditation.
Through countless trials and tribulations, he had at last unlocked the secret to the grasp of old age.
And this ferocious beast had chosen the perfect mont to appear!
"Hehe..."
A soft chuckle slipped from Wang Xiao's lips.
To the monstrous tiger, Wang Xiao must have seed insignificant, akin to an ant.
Yet, in a breathtaking display of agility and strength, that 'ant' suddenly sprang forward, seizing the beast's massive fangs and plucking them apart with nothing but his hands.
"!"
Seizing the dislodged teeth as weapons, Wang Xiao turned the tables on the beast, initiating a chase that spanned hundreds of kiloters.
It beca a ga of cat and mouse, with Wang Xiao pushing the fearso creature to its limits before finally delivering the killing blow.
The once-frequent flare-ups of his temper had dissipated.
Now, amidst the wild and untad dangers of this godly graveyard, Wang Xiao was now starting to finally have fun...
"Huff... He was so incredibly fast..." Wang Xiao chuckled, standing triumphantly in front of the lifeless carcass, pondering whether he resembled an ancient caveman.
In fact, during this period, Wang Xiao had been simultaneously delving into the mysteries of Aether, mastering its foundational principles.
However, his primary pursuit remained Psychokinesis, which he had honed to a remarkable level—
Whoosh!
Suddenly, his once diminutive hands swelled to an imnse size, allowing him to dissect the tiger—not for sustenance, but for enlightennt!
He aid to uncover how these strange beasts harnessed Aether.
As for his hands, Wang Xiao, having survived nurous deadly experints, had learned to morph his body to extraordinary extents.
Slightly altering his form was no longer a challenge; indeed, he considered the possibility of reconstructing his own eyes, though he acknowledged his experience was still lacking.
Just as Wang Xiao bathing in his victory—
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!
"..."
His expression darkened. Far in the distance, a colossal mountain, stretching across hundreds of kiloters, revealed itself to be a volcano that had violently erupted!
Lava surged into the sky, engulfing everything in its path, leaving no avenue for escape!
He instantly realized the lava was no ordinary molten rock.
Whoosh!
Ultimately, he plunged downward, eager to test his endurance against the searing lava—without succumbing to death and without the aid of Aether!
"Grr..."
He gritted his teeth as the searing lava began to scorch his flesh; the sensation of pain gradually dimd until he felt almost nothing.
It was natural, for everything had plunged into darkness once again.
In that desolate place, nothing remained but a charred human carcass and bones, eerily burning alive.
The cycle repeated thousands of tis.
Skills accumulated, layer upon layer...
But gradually, the thrill evaporated.
In fact, there ca an era when, even after living for nearly a thousand years, Wang Xiao had barely uttered a single word.
He sensed he was gradually losing grasp of his own language.
His past beca a blur, fading slowly from mory...
He developed an instinctual flinch from certain elents.
Like water!
Because the last ti, he had erged in an eternal sea, where he endured tornt for millennia!
And that was rely the beginning!
Each ti he was reborn, he would not die by conventional ans.
Instead, he faced profoundly traumatic ends.
And he was never reborn in the sa place; each rebirth occurred in a different plane, utterly devoid of any human or humanoid life, a desolate expanse stretching into eternity.
No matter how desperately he tried to solve the mystery of this place, he could not decipher its chanics.
He himself was unaware of the extent of strength he had amassed or what he was truly accomplishing...
It had beco an innate instinct for him...
To be born anew, endure as long as he could... and then begin anew.
He had ceased to count the years and the countless deaths a long ti ago...
Splash!
Standing at the edge of the shore, Wang Xiao offered a faint smile upon seeing his reflection ripple in the water.
Two vibrant pairs of blue eyes sparkled back at him, stunningly alive in what had once been hollow sockets.
Indeed, he could have fashioned another eye much earlier, but he had been experinting, testing whether he could restore the natural function of his eyes, which seed an almost impossible challenge.
After countless trials and continuous adjustnts to his own brain, he finally achieved a breakthrough.
Now, he could effortlessly toggle between using his natural eyesight and his heightened sixth sense.
The pursuit of physical strength?
Wang Xiao had long abandoned such concerns.
Such thoughts no longer occupied his mind...
In fact, his mind was clear of everything...
Whoosh!
He ascended swiftly into the sky, casting a glance backward at the endless, golden wheat fields sprawling before him.
They stretched to the horizon, insignificant in the grand scale of his existence.
He turned his gaze back, observing the endless sea mirroring the wheat fields from behind the shore.
With a subtle smile playing on his lips, he lifted his hand and—
Whooooosh!
The sea surged up like a colossal wave, crashing destructively against the expansive wheat fields.
