Chapter 1: Tragic rebirth

The bustling streets were filled with people moving about, immersed in their daily lives. Among them was adrian, a young man with a passion for cultivation manhua. He walked while engrossed in the colorful panels displayed on his phone screen, following the adventures of the manhua's heroic protagonist.

As he flipped through the pages, he immersed himself in the story, longing for the kind of love and romance that seemed to blossom effortlessly in the manhua's world. Adrian's heart ached, for he had never experienced the warmth of a romantic relationship. His parents had passed away early in his life, leaving him to navigate the world all alone.

Lost in these thoughts, he failed to notice the traffic signal turn red. Oblivious to his surroundings, adrian stepped onto the road without looking, and in a tragic twist of fate, he was struck by a speeding cycle. The impact sent him sprawling onto the asphalt, blood oozing from his injuries.

Gasps and shouts echoed through the air as people rushed to his aid. A moment later, a car screeched to a halt, narrowly avoiding a more severe collision. The driver, visibly shaken, got out of the car to check on the injured young man.

As the world blurred around him, adrian's thoughts took an introspective turn. In the throes of pain, he couldn't help but reflect on his life's shortcomings. Memories of his parents' warm smiles flashed before his eyes, their untimely departure leaving an everlasting void in his heart. He had grown up without the loving embrace of a family, and the emptiness of not having someone to share his life with haunted him.

Through teary eyes, he whispered to the sky, "i hope my next life will be better... That i won't be so alone."

just as the darkness threatened to consume him, a radiant light enveloped adrian. It was as if he was floating, disconnected from his battered body. And then, in an instant, his eyes fluttered open.

Before him stood a woman of breathtaking beauty, her eyes shimmering with tears. Her soft voice filled with concern, she pleaded, "please wake up, my son."

confused and disoriented, adrian tried to speak, but his voice failed him. He couldn't comprehend what had happened. Where was he? Was this his mother? But it couldn't be; his parents were long gone.

As he gazed into her eyes, he felt an inexplicable connection. It was as if he had known her forever, yet they were strangers.

The woman's name escaped his lips, but he couldn't recall it.

A tender smile graced her lips, confirming their bond. She continued to cry, "please, you must wake up."

The beauty of the woman left him in awe, but he couldn't fully comprehend the depth of her allure. There was something extraordinary about her, an ethereal grace that defied explanation.

The light of the unknown world beckoned him, and he slipped into unconsciousness once more.

The afternoon sun filtered through the curtains, gently coaxing Lu Yang from his slumber. His eyes fluttered open, and he found himself lying on a soft bed in an unfamiliar room. Confusion washed over him like a tidal wave, and for a moment, he couldn't recall how he ended up in this place.

Pushing himself up, he took a deep breath and looked around. The room's interior was simple yet elegant, adorned with traditional decorations that hinted at a world unknown to him. With a surge of curiosity, he decided to explore further.

As he stepped outside the room, the sight that greeted him left him speechless. A breathtaking panorama stretched before his eyes – majestic mountains, their peaks kissing the skies, and lush forests that seemed to go on forever. The beauty of nature engulfed him, and he felt a deep connection to this mystical world.

"This can't be my world... I must have been reincarnated," he murmured to himself, trying to make sense of the inexplicable circumstances.

As Lu Yang immersed himself in the enchanting scenery, a sudden sharp pain pierced his head. He clutched his temples, gritting his teeth to endure the agony. Memories that didn't belong to him flooded his mind, overwhelming his senses.

The body owner's name was Lu Yang, and the woman he saw earlier was his mother. Her name was Lu Meiying. The owner was attacked by a very powerful beast and died due to poisoning. He was not targeted by anyone, nor did he have any enemies.

Lu Yang's heart swelled with gratitude for this second chance bestowed upon him by the heavens. He had read countless cultivation manhua in his previous life, and he knew that the protagonist often received a system to aid their journey in the cultivation world.

As if responding to his fervent wish, a strange sensation washed over him. A series of unfamiliar words echoed in his mind, "Ding! Supreme Sage System activated. Binding host with system... 88% complete."

As the synchronization with the system reached 99%, a searing pain engulfed Lu Yang's head and heart. The intensity of the pain was beyond anything he had ever experienced before, and he felt as if his very soul was being tested.

Clutching his head in agony, he staggered, his vision blurring for a moment. The pain seemed endless, as if time itself had slowed down to magnify his suffering.

And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the pain subsided. Lu Yang's breathing was ragged as he tried to regain his composure. The system had completed its binding with him, granting him access to its powers.

"I did it," he gasped, his voice filled with a mix of relief and awe. "I really have a system!"

The moment he was about to delve into the mysteries of the Supreme Sage System that had bestowed upon him, a soft and familiar voice called out his name, "Lu Yang!"

He turned, and there, standing before him, was a woman of breathtaking beauty – his mother, Lu Meiying. Her eyes shimmered with tears of joy as she rushed towards him with open arms.

"Mother..." Lu Yang's voice was filled with both surprise and delight as he saw her radiant smile.

"Oh, my dear Lu Yang, you're finally awake!" Lu Meiying embraced him tightly, her heart overflowing with relief and happiness. "I was so worried when I found you unconscious. Thank the heavens you're alright!"

Lu Yang returned the embrace, feeling a rush of warmth and love.

They held each other for a while, cherishing the joy of their reunion. Lu Yang couldn't help but marvel at his mother's beauty – her eyes, her smile, every aspect of her seemed to embody the essence of grace and elegance.

"Mother, I... I don't remember much from before," Lu Yang confessed, pulling away slightly to look into her eyes. "But being here with you, it feels like I've come home."

Tears glistened in Lu Meiying's eyes as she caressed his cheek lovingly. "You are my son, and no matter what, we will always be together, " she said softly.

Hearing this, Lu Yang blushed as it somewhat sounded like a confession. You see, he was originally not her son but was in her son's body, and his face turned beet red.

Seeing Lu Yang's face turn red, Su Meiying placed her hands on his forehead and said, "You don't have a fever, so why is your face so red?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm perfectly fine. Probably just feeling a bit warm." Lu yang said.

Let's go I have made your favourite dinner.
