Divine Reincarnation: Dual Cultivator’s Ascent

Chapter 1: Awakening of the Forgotten Gods



Lu Tian had always thought of cultivation as nothing more than a game. On Earth, he had spent countless nights grinding away in virtual reality cultivation worlds, chasing after legendary techniques and celestial realms. But nothing could have prepared him for this moment.

A vast, suffocating darkness enveloped him. He felt weightless, adrift in an endless void, his thoughts slipping between dreams and reality. The last thing he remembered was falling asleep in his tiny apartment—just another night of gaming. But now... now he was somewhere else entirely.

Then came the voices.

Ancient, powerful, echoing from the depths of time itself.

"You are my final reincarnation. Our legacy must not end here…"

"Master the art of battle. No enemy shall stand before you."

"Embrace the path of dual cultivation. Only through unity can true power be attained."

Memories that did not belong to him surged into his mind—visions of standing atop the heavens, wielding divine weapons, embracing celestial beauties, and shattering entire realms with a flick of his fingers. He gasped as his body trembled under the sheer weight of it all.

Who were these voices? Why did it feel as though he had lived countless lifetimes before?

A radiant light pierced the darkness, growing larger, pulling him toward it. He tried to resist, but there was no escape. The force yanked him downward, faster and faster, until—

BOOM!

Lu Tian crashed onto solid ground with bone-rattling force. Dust and debris scattered as he groaned, his entire body aching from the impact.

The scent of ancient trees and fresh earth filled his nostrils. A warm breeze brushed against his skin, carrying a faint hint of spiritual energy. He blinked, adjusting to the dim golden glow filtering through the canopy above.

Lu Tian's heart raced, the weight of his new reality pressing down on him. He stared at the woman, unsure whether to be cautious or eager to embrace this strange new world. Her eyes sparkled with an unsettling mix of wisdom and mystery, and the aura around her was like nothing he'd ever felt before—an energy that was both calming and intimidating.

"You said... first partner?" Lu Tian’s voice betrayed a hint of confusion.

The woman’s smile widened, and she took another graceful step forward, her presence drawing him in like a magnet. "Yes," she whispered. "The path of dual cultivation is not one you walk alone. To master it, you must harmonize your spirit and energy with others. And I am here to guide you."

Lu Tian felt a strange sensation stir within him as her words settled into his mind. The memories of his past lives began to resurface—visions of countless celestial beings, both men and women, whose powers and passions had shaped the very foundation of existence. His mind was a storm of emotions as fragments of divine knowledge collided with his own thoughts, leaving him disoriented.

Yet amidst the chaos, one thing stood clear: dual cultivation was a profound art, a delicate balance of both physical and spiritual unity, one that transcended the boundaries of normal cultivation techniques. But this was more than just a technique—it was the key to unlocking unimaginable power.

Before he could process it further, the woman’s hand was before him, her fingers glistening with a soft, ethereal glow. "Shall we begin?" she repeated, her voice like a song that echoed in the deepest corners of his soul.

Lu Tian hesitated for a moment, but the thirst for power that bubbled within him, mixed with an undeniable pull toward the woman, overpowered any doubts he had. He reached forward, his hand trembling slightly as he met hers.

The moment their palms connected, a surge of energy coursed through him, unlike anything he had ever experienced. His body burned with power, but it wasn’t just physical strength. His very soul seemed to merge with hers, and he felt the world around him dissolve into nothingness.

His mind was flooded with visions—celestial palaces, vast battlefields, heavenly beasts, and worlds beyond counting. Each image was like a fragmented memory, each echoing with the same message: Power through unity, strength through harmony.

The woman’s voice whispered in his mind, her tone both soothing and commanding. "Let go, Lu Tian. Feel the energies within you... and let them flow freely. Together, we will awaken what lies dormant in your soul."

The sensations grew stronger, and Lu Tian’s thoughts began to blur. He could feel his inner strength growing, his body becoming a vessel for an overwhelming surge of power. It wasn’t just his own; it was the combined essence of all his past lives, their strengths, their knowledge, their desires.

Suddenly, a jolt of realization struck him like lightning.

This wasn’t just a training session. This was a binding—an initiation into a higher realm of existence. A part of him wanted to pull away, but the other part, the part that had been dreaming of this moment, refused to let go.

"You must understand," the woman said, her voice now filled with an unmistakable authority. "The path you are about to walk is fraught with dangers. There are forces in this world that seek to stop you before you can even begin. But with dual cultivation, you will have the strength to defy them all. With each partner, you grow stronger. But also, with each partner, you must learn to give yourself fully. Your soul will intertwine with theirs, and you will learn the art of balance—between love, strength, and sacrifice."

Lu Tian could feel her presence more clearly now, her energy mingling with his own, blending in a way that made him feel as though they were becoming one. His heart pounded, and for a fleeting moment, he wondered if he was truly ready for such an intense journey.

Yet, even with the weight of the unknown pressing on him, he couldn’t deny the exhilaration coursing through him. Every fiber of his being screamed for more—more power, more knowledge, more mastery over this new world.

The woman pulled away slightly, her violet eyes locking onto his with an unreadable expression. "Your true cultivation begins now," she said softly, the golden light around them growing brighter. "But remember, every choice you make will shape your future. And the path ahead is full of temptations. How you walk it is entirely up to you."

Lu Tian’s breath steadied as he finally found his voice. "I’m ready."

With those words, the golden light enveloped them completely, and for the first time, Lu Tian embraced the journey ahead—no longer just a game, but a reality that would test the very limits of his soul.

 

And deep inside, he could feel the awakening of the forgotten gods that once ruled the heavens.

He wasn’t in his apartment anymore.

Towering trees pulsed with faint, ethereal light, their leaves shimmering as if whispering to one another. Strange creatures lurked in the shadows, their luminous eyes filled with curiosity and intelligence.

Lu Tian pushed himself up, his muscles feeling... different. There was no fatigue, no weakness. In fact, he felt stronger than ever before. His senses were sharper, his body lighter yet overflowing with raw power. It was as if every cell within him had been reforged into something beyond mortal limits.

He staggered forward, trying to make sense of his surroundings when—

Ding!

A golden screen materialized before his eyes, pulsing with celestial energy.

[Welcome, Chosen One. Your journey begins now.]

Lu Tian’s heart pounded. The text flickered as more words formed beneath it.

[You have awakened the Lost Inheritance of the Gods.]


[Your past lives have been sealed, but fragments of their knowledge remain.]
[Primary Path: Dual Cultivation. Secondary Path: Battle Divinity.]
[Unlocking core abilities…]

A shiver ran down his spine. He reached out instinctively, but before he could touch the screen, a sharp pain shot through his mind.

Memories.

Not just his own, but countless others. He saw himself as a war god, carving mountains with his blade. He saw himself as a divine scholar, grasping the mysteries of the universe. He saw himself as a devil emperor, standing atop a throne of corpses. And he saw himself as a celestial dual cultivator, locked in the embrace of the most beautiful women under the heavens, their energies intertwining, reaching heights beyond mortal understanding.

He staggered back, gasping for air. His breath came in ragged heaves, his mind struggling to process the torrent of images and emotions.

This… this isn’t a dream.

This was real.

A rustling sound snapped him back to the present. From the shadows, a figure emerged. A woman—elegant, otherworldly, her silver hair flowing like liquid moonlight. Her violet eyes gleamed as they studied him, a mix of curiosity and amusement dancing within them.

“You’re finally awake,” she murmured. “The heavens truly have a sense of humor… A man chosen by the gods themselves, yet you reek of inexperience.”

Lu Tian narrowed his eyes. “Who are you?”

She smiled, stepping closer, the faint glow of spiritual energy radiating from her body.

“Your first partner in cultivation,” she said softly, reaching out a delicate hand. “Shall we begin?”

Lu Tian’s breath caught in his throat. The knowledge buried deep within him stirred. He knew exactly what she meant.

This was only the beginning.

And deep within him, the power of forgotten gods began to awaken once more.
