Global Awakening: The Heavenly Demon Returns

Transmigrator! A term found only in fantasy books and light novels, in his former world, yet it had become his reality.

Ten thousand years ago, the man who would become the feared Heavenly Demon across billions of worlds was just an ordinary high school student named Ye Tian, looking forward to his university life.

Unlike the tales where protagonists get hit by a truck or summoned by a god, the last thing Ye Tian remembered was undergoing surgery for appendicitis. Clearly, he had died during the procedure.

Remembering this, Ye Tian felt a wave of sorrow wash over him. *Mom, Dad, Sister... don't worry. I'll see you all again soon!*

Despite the passage of ten thousand years, the desire to return home had never once left him, not for a moment.

Fortunately, his journey to this new world while abrupt, had come with some benefits.

In his sea of consciousness, there existed a peculiar bead—an item he had casually bought from a street vendor years ago.

This bead was extraordinary. As long as he killed, it absorbed a portion of his opponent's strength, feeding it back to him.

It also had the ability to deduce new techniques and abilities.

Ye Tian even believed that with enough lives sacrificed, there was no technique he couldn't deduce.

Fueled by this power, Ye Tian soon climbed to the pinnacle of cultivation.

Yet, upon realizing that his former world did not exist within any known realms, he embarked on a ruthless quest to create a technique to return home, slaughtering everyone who stood in his path.

Be it his brothers and sisters who had once laughed and drank with him, Zhang Yang who picked him up as a child, or the sect who had raised him as a child

In Ye Tian's eyes, all of them were deemed insignificant and but a means for him to return to his former world

"Using billions of lives and eleven Immortal Emperors as the foundation, tracing the cause and effect, and sacrificing my current self," Ye Tian whispered, his eyes gleaming with fervor.

"Today, my ultimate technique is complete! The Great Regression Technique!"

Sensing that his move was ready, Ye Tian didn't hesitate.

"Haha!" He burst into laughter.

"Heavenly Dao, Zhang Yang! And all you cowards hiding in your home worlds, too afraid to face me even when I'm besieged and chained here—hear this!"

You may think you've won today, but I am the true victor in the end!"

His mocking laughter echoed through the desolate battlefield, drawing everyone's attention.

A reaction he both expected and intended, knowing he couldn't afford to be interrupted while preparing his technique.

This was thanks to him utilizing the fact that surrounding forces were already on edge, so hearing his words, they instinctively hesitated.

Seeing the momentary pause, Ye Tian pressed on, his voice booming with authority, "Even if I die today, my name will be immortal!

"I, who slaughtered all the Immortal Emperors."

"I, who devoured the ten greatest sects and the five great worlds." 

"I, who exterminated the Martial Gods and Demon Lords." 

"I who am shunned by the devils, cursed by the immortals and the sole disciple of Immortal Emperor Zhang Yang!" 

"Today, I, the Heavenly Demon—the Incarnate of Evil—ascend the Dao!"

With each word, his aura, which had been weak and fading, began to surge, distorting the very fabric of reality.

The entire world trembled in response, a sight that filled his enemies with dread.

"What are you waiting for?!" Zhang Yang roared, his voice quaking with urgency. "Don't listen to his nonsense! Attack!"

Snapping back to reality, the assembled forces unleashed their might upon Ye Tian. But it was too late.

Under their anxious gazes, Ye Tian's body began to disintegrate bit by bit under the combined assault. But his smile remained.

"Goodbye, everyone. Let's hope we never meet again," he whispered.

As his body vanished, so did the Tianxian Continent, obliterated under the relentless attacks.

Zhang Yang, having exhausted his strength, also breathed his last, leaving the once-glorious Tianxian Continent a distant memory.

Time soon passed, and for a hundred years, no traces of Ye Tian were found.

Eventually, the remaining forces of the heavens and the world returned to their realms to recuperate, eager to rise again in the newly reshuffled power dynamics.

While tales of Ye Tian and the Tianxian Continent were marked as taboos, sealed away in time and space to prevent further disasters.

Yet, what no one knew was that in a completely different multiverse, on a planet known as Blue Star, a surgical patient suddenly opened his eyes!

.....

[Ye Tian's Pov]

Location: Blue Star, Dragon City

"Haha! It worked!" Ye Tian laughed. "Damn you, Zhang Yang! Damn you, heavens and the world! I, Ye Tian, am back!"

Waking up in a pure white room, lying on a soft green bed. A weak sensation coursed through his body, but he wasn't bothered by it. Instead, he felt elated.

"I can't believe I'm happy to feel this weak," he chuckled. "Judging by my current state, the surgery must have just ended."

Looking into a nearby mirror, Ye Tian examined his new appearance.

Gone were his long red hair, red eyes, and jade-like skin—the signs of his cultivation in the other world.

Now, he looked painfully ordinary: short black hair, small black eyes, pale skin dotted with acne, and a slightly chubby physique.

"Now that I think about it, I should have worked out more when I had the chance," he muttered, flexing his unimpressive muscles in the mirror. Even so, a smile formed on his face. He had finally returned.

The thought of reuniting with his family filled him with a warmth he hadn't felt in millennia.

He could almost hear his dad's nagging, his mom's doting care, and his sister's cute but annoying antics.

However, a familiar, desperate voice pierced through the air as he basked in this joy.

"Doctor! What do you mean my son is dead?! Wasn't the surgery's success rate 98 percent?" A woman sobbed loudly outside.

Hearing this, Ye Tian's heart skipped a beat.

He wanted to rush out and tell his mum he was fine, but another voice immediately caught his attention, one that made his expression darken.

"Shut up! Who is this woman causing a commotion in my father's hospital?! Security, throw them out!"

Hearing these words, a flicker of red flashed in his black pupils.

"Courting death..." Ye Tian whispered.
