Chapter 2: Wishes and Rebirth

"I am ready to state my wishes, but can you give me a hint of which world I am going to ?"

I asked.

He replied " That's for you to decide..and before you ask ,you need to reborn in first world no transmigration, you will unlock some conceptual powers like realm travel or multiverse travel when you reach certain power levels within the first world.

There is no body customization and system stuff..but you can get artifacts, both conceptual and physical, your 4 wishes can be descriptive about what you want. And no it cannot be too overpowered as reality manipulation or concept negation as it ignores my intention of enjoying the growth process"

" I wish to go to Tales of demons and gods novel world, to be born in glory city in an aristocratic family near nie li's family 13 years before the reincarnation of Main character in the second timeline and please include my profile as a random guy in first timeline or just give MC a small memory of my presence in first timeline as someone ordinary."

God just waited for my wishes.

" My first wish is to have a physical body capable of adaptive and progressive evolution based perfect human body that is capable of gaining biological abilities through contact with dna if I will it and abstract ability to convert one form of energy to my required form directly and biological abilities will not be replicated by cloning or other scientific or magical process unless I want it to be."

" Perfect human body you say..ok. As I observe, it is more than one wish but i won't object since it's about your physical body but conceptual ability will be limited to only preserve or store energy levels by conversion and not manipulate externally as you wish. " God said

" My second wish is to have Library of heavens path but it will have an added function of gradually merging and essentially indistinguishable with my consciousness or soul by gradually increasing my comprehension or understanding ability much like those fictions with ' heaven defying understanding' "

" It will be a restricted in some ways, continue" he said

"My third wish is to have the ability to duplicate a concept or artifact I obtain or near me"

"You can, but you will have a domain with a radius of minimum 1 meter around you which will grow as per your life level, within which only, you can manifest this wish and also the amount of artifacts will be limited to 3 items in possession; usage of energy can be restored using the first wish of energy conversion"

" My final wish is to shield me from divinations, soul seizure, psychic power attacks , sensing some unnatural energy since you mentioned creation energy or something , causality events and luck backlash from heavenly Dao or similar entities from labelling me a foreign entity. oh and shield me from someone going back in time to replace or kill me. etc"

"Done." He waved to me saying" good luck" and my vision and thinking went blank.

After an unknown amount of time...

<<Divine Continent, Glory city,>>

On the colossal St. Ancestral Mountain range, sunlight shined through the gap between the mountains into the deep canyons. On the hillside beside the valley, some snow remained.

Even though it's already the early summer, the snow has yet to melt. The cold here is exceptionally long. The roars of beasts can occasionally be heard.

On the surface of the valley stood a magnificent city.

The world outside of the St. Ancestral Mountains has been occupied by the beasts. The people living in the mountain range have not contacted the outside world for hundreds of years.

The people who live in the city are unsure of the situation of the outside world. It's been recorded that at the most glorious period of mankind, having thousands of Legend rank Fighters and Demon Spiritualists, the humans established many empires in the vast continent, but those empires have been wiped out.

The city, due to being stealthily located geographically, was well preserved from the Age of Darkness. They would occasionally encounter attacks from powerful Snow Wind Beasts within the St. Ancestral Mountains, however, after going through numerous devastating conflicts, the city was be rebuilt again and again.

These motley walls were an indomitable monument.

This city is called Glory City, and it is a symbol of hope for humanity.

<< Tian kui Family, Patriarch Chi feng's family mansion >>

A soul, unknown to anyone emerged out of nothing suddenly into the unborn child of Tian kui patriarch. The consciousness merged with the child and unknown changes activated within the child's body and it went dormant.

... Time passes and MC is born...

The new name I have in this life is Chi Tao.

Its been 6 months. A very frustrating 6 months. Initially I couldn't think properly as a lifetime worth of memory inside the astral soul is being injected to a child's brain, but it went okay by some days. I mostly have to lay and sleep on the crib arranged for me even though I could crawl by myself by the end of 2nd month and walk on 2 legs by end of 5th month but I only do that when I am by myself. I still shit and piss myself but recently I gain control of this process somewhat and by making some baby noises the maids and my mother did help me in cleaning me up regularly. Having mother's milk is also another peculiar experience.

Recently I made them aware of my crawling and staggered walking ability. 

Another month I began to address my parents by mama and dada but in the new language i recently know of which they are taking to.

I began my speech and waking by end of 10 months and they start to call me little genius or whatever. I only need to force some baby laugh and the people will move on.

I decide to enjoy being a child once again after the initial frustrations had gone. People are there for you to meet your needs, they will care for you. Only now I thought of my previous life's parents, during the unexpected situations of meeting god claiming as myself, reincarnating , being a baby. Now that I think about it, God won't be stingy and would care for my parent's health after I am gone right since he mentioned being myself. 

I enjoyed being with similar aged children around me. They are adorable and dumb at the same time. It gives you a sense of superiority. Knowingly or unknowingly, I am their big brother. I didn't train intentionally during these 5 years. The adaptable and evolving physique is gradually developing to it's full potential, I think. By the rate of progress, instantaneous adaptations will be available only 12 or 13 I think. The biological waste I generate is less and less each month as the body optimizes maximum utilization of chemical energy from the food.

I am grateful to my parents but attachment to them is noticeably less compared to my previous life partly due to my mature mind and partly since the secrets and ideas of mine from modern age is better not conveyed to them. So I chose non-interference in their actions which may lead to complicated questioning situations. I think they also noticed my maturity and attributed it to my genius thinking. I am the patriarch's son, so i get better nutritional diet and even demon beast meat.

My family is Tian kui family having 2 gold rank demon spiritualist and we are under Hong yue noble family. Our family is having medicinal plants sales for alchemy, farming, hunting demon beasts, and even mining near mountain ranges although some of the activities were done in collaboration with some other aristocratic families.

Now I am 6 years old. I used LoHP on every person and artifacts I came across and learned many things. There are multitudes of flaws in the cultivation techniques, clan people using. I don't want to be truly heartless and will consider pointing out some flaws when the canon starts. I am too young for this shit .

A one year training on simple pushups and pullups and simple practices made me somewhat strong I am near half of a adults strength which means i can pull two of the similar aged children on each hand simultaneously without any effort while my peers could hardly pick 10kg equivalent. I also made it while being secretive otherwise these brats will sell me out.

I also met Nie Li, a simple guy with orange hair. He is also dumb. Especially since there is no systematic learning program for children, they probably won't be able to even read till now. I changed my strategy of being playful. I started visiting clan's library. Took a weeks time to manually touch each book while continuing to pretend to search for books and read some of the techniques, martial arts, alchemic books and forging and everything in between. All in all I have 250 different books lying in my LoHP space.
