Chapter 1, Breaking the Universe

The mysterious light has vanished, replaced by the daze, astonishment, and surprise in his eyes... along with a myriad of complex emotions

"Brother..." the girl softly called out, recalling the events of the day, and could not help but shed silent tears. Uncle Ji and the others were truly excessive; not only did they wrongfully accuse her brother, but they also pushed him into the lake. She cried and shouted until someone finally went into the lake to rescue her brother, yet he still had not woken up.

For this, he spent fifty-six years of his life, seeking various miracles and pursuing different martial arts. During this period, the world fell into chaos, Confucianism and Daoism collapsed, the Star of the Literary Emperor was extinguished, and the Demon Emperor emerged, causing immense suffering among all living beings. Yet, he remained indifferent to it all, relentlessly pursuing the ultimate martial arts. Finally, he integrated countless martial disciplines, successfully broke through the martial path, achieved the immortal body, and became the first and only Earth Immortal in this world

The wooden window panes, veiled by a light gauze, shield against the mosquitoes outside, as the brightness gradually fades away. First, it is shrouded in gray, and even this hint of gray is slowly deepening. Outside the window, the sycamore tree stands, with cicadas incessantly chirping on its branches. The continuity of their sound paradoxically evokes a profound sense of tranquility.

He still remembers that on that day, the heroes bowed at the foot of Mount Tai, pleading desperately for him to come out of seclusion to confront the Yuan Demon Emperor. The land was shattered, the divine land was in ruins, the demon soldiers advanced, and those who resisted were killed, even those taller than the wheels were slain. He had become the only hope against the Yuan Demon Emperor. Yet, he stood atop Mount Tai, ignoring the desperate pleas of the heroes, gazing up at the vast sky, and struck out with a single sword.

The sword tested the vast sky, the void shattered, yin and yang reversed, and the universe collapsed! He exhausted all his strength to unleash the extraordinary move he had painstakingly contemplated, "Breaking the Universe," and then, without hesitation, leaped into the shattered void amidst the incredulous and astonished gazes of the heroes.

At first, everyone was somewhat skeptical; however, with the county magistrate personally intervening, even those familiar with Ningjiang could not afford to disbelieve or dare to disbelieve

By the bedside indoors, there sat a young girl dressed in ancient attire. Although she was only thirteen years old, in this era, she would soon be of marrying age in a year or two. She wore an orange-red ru skirt, and by the light of the three-foot-high candlestick, she looked anxiously at the young man on the bed

This is an era where the moral code dictates life and death. During the mourning period of three years, one is prohibited from participating in the imperial examinations, from marrying or proposing, couples must sleep in separate rooms, no celebrations are allowed, and even during the New Year, one is not permitted to hang lanterns or decorations. Yet, the son of the Ning family actually called for a courtesan in front of his deceased father's memorial during this period when even spouses are not allowed to share a room, causing an uproar among the onlookers.

When he was twelve years old, his father in this world passed away due to edema. Before his death, he spent a considerable amount of silver and used some connections to help his son secure a position as a filial and incorrupt official.

In his first life, he was a high school student in another world. On the first day of high school, he was involved in a car accident and was killed by a vehicle. He then traversed to this world and became the young master of the Ning family in Gaosu County, beginning his second life. Two years later, he had a younger sister, who is now the little Meng in front of him

However, it was on this very day in his previous life, on the day he completed three years of filial piety and performed the coming-of-age ceremony, that everything suddenly changed. During his coming-of-age ceremony, their uncle Ning Ji burst in with a group of courtesans, accusing him of failing to observe filial piety, claiming that during the mourning period, he had been constantly attracting attention and violating the rites.

If he cannot save his sister, then let this world, which cannot even accommodate his gentle and kind sister, collapse!

Ning Jiang, wronged and filled with both shock and anger, continuously defended himself. However, shortly thereafter, the local magistrate, Cao Kai Ding, entered with a group of people, claiming that he had learned the truth. He accused Ning Jiang, the son of the Ning family, of being unfilial, violating the rules of propriety, and bringing disgrace to the family.

His mother in this world died very early, shortly after giving birth to Xiao Meng, passing away due to excessive blood loss. Their father, Ning Li, the head of the Ning family, is a silent man. Although he has never remarried, he does not know how to be a good father. Perhaps due to the fact that he is a "transmigrator," Ning Jiang does not share much emotional connection with him. The only bond he has is with his younger sister, whom he has raised since childhood. It can even be said that she is his only tie in this world.

The young man was covered with a thin blanket, his features delicate and refined, yet he remained in a deep slumber, unaware.

Due to the one-child policy in the previous world, Ning Jiang did not have any siblings, as his parents had always regarded him as a treasure and took great care of him. In reality, he had not truly experienced much of the world. In the confusion after his transition, this new younger sister became his closest relative

The name of this young man is Ning Jiang, and in a certain sense, this is already his third life

Since time travel itself exists, what about rebirth

"Brother, are you awake?" Although she was looked at by her brother with such a strange expression, the girl was still almost ready to leap with joy upon seeing that her brother had finally woken up

Great injustice, great humiliation, if it were only this, Ning Jiang could still endure, after all, living is more important than anything else. However, that very night, an even more significant event occurred, which directly shattered him. From then on, he wandered the world, abandoning his home, forsaking everything, and madly pursued various martial arts and techniques.

When he saw the gauze curtain above, the boy's consciousness was still somewhat hazy. However, in the next moment, his eyes suddenly became sharp. The candlestick was originally placed on the other side of the bed, and his face was obscured by the gauze curtain at the head of the bed, shrouded in dimness. Yet at this moment, it was as if a light burst forth from his eyes, illuminating the empty room, startling the girl. She rubbed her eyes, doubting whether she had seen it incorrectly.

The maid said, "How can you not eat? Young master doesn't know when he will wake up. What if the young lady falls ill again? How about I go bring the meat soup that has been simmering in the kitchen? Young lady, will you have a little?" After saying this, she did not give the girl a chance to refuse and went out just like that

The governor of the broken family, the county magistrate of the exterminated clan, the county chief wants the young master of the Ning family to die; who dares to let him live

He must return, even at the risk of losing his life, even though according to his own calculations, the probability of successfully reversing time and space is less than one in ten thousand, he is determined to go back regardless of the circumstances

If he can save his sister, then he can save the world

The weather in July remains scorching, and even as evening falls and darkness approaches, the heat is difficult to dissipate

Little Dream?" The young man looked at her and blurted out.

According to the customs of this world, one only needs to wait for Ning Jiang to observe the mourning period of three years, after which, following the coming-of-age ceremony, he can officially become the head of the Ning family. Furthermore, he can be jointly recommended by the local gentry to become a filial and incorrupt official. On the side of the government, Ning Li, before his death, also helped his son establish good relations. In principle, everything should be without any issues

Not long after the maid left, the young man on the bed slowly opened his eyes

"Xiao Meng ... ... Xiao Meng ... ... younger sister ... ..." At this moment, tears uncontrollably streamed from his eyes, falling onto his sister's shoulder. ... Fifty-six years have passed, a full fifty-six years, and he has finally succeeded in shattering the universe and reversing the yin and yang, returning to this day ... . ... This is the very day that has tormented him for fifty-six years.

In the previous world, he was merely a high school student who had not seen much of the world. Although his family was not particularly well-off, his parents loved him dearly. After crossing over to this world, Ning Jiang did not harbor many grand ambitions. This is a peaceful era that reveres Confucianism. Although it is an ancient and different realm, the Ning family in Gaosuo County can be considered a moderately prestigious family. His only aspiration is to live a safe and sound life in this world.

He wants to be reborn, he wants to return to this day, he wants to prevent his sister's misfortune on this night, and then live well with his sister.

The screen door was quietly pushed open, and a maid entered, whispering beside the girl: "Miss, would you like to eat something first?"

When the girl's eyes opened again, the young man had suddenly sat up and turned to look at her

"Brother, what is wrong with you? You look as if you haven't seen me in a long, long time?" Ning Xiaomeng glanced at her brother, and immediately after, her shoulders tensed as the young man tightly embraced her.

Ning Jiang was both shocked and angry, trying to defend himself. However, the courtesans all testified about how he had secretly summoned prostitutes, even claiming that he had engaged in debauchery with numerous women in front of his deceased father's memorial. One woman even clung to his leg, crying out for him to take responsibility for the child in her womb.

The girl shook her head, indicating that she really could not eat any more

Although Ning Jiang had not seen much of the world, he was by no means a fool. He quickly realized that it was his cousin Ning Ji who was scheming to seize the family inheritance that rightfully belonged to him. In a moment of impulsiveness, he rushed towards Ning Ji without a second thought. However, the family servants around Ning Ji were well-prepared, and in the ensuing scuffle, they pushed him into the lake. His sister, Xiao Meng, cried out and knelt on the ground, pleading desperately, which finally led to someone rescuing him from the water

Thus, the crowd vehemently condemned the young master of the Ning family for tarnishing the family reputation, his small voice drowned in the tide of insults
