"Only memories..."

"I thought going to the Immortal Ancient Battlefield and possibly capturing an Ancient Emperor's Weapon would be the greatest gain. Yet, I didn't expect that it couldn't be taken out?"

Many people were discussing, and a sense of disappointment appeared on their faces.

Just then, the white-robed Mansion Master continued, "After all, the Land of Trial, in the end, is just an illusion realm. Everything inside is fake. The only reality is that whatever happens inside will follow what is recorded in ancient history."

"I won't say much more. If there are no other questions, I will now open the secret realm for you."

"Buzz!"

As the voice fell, his withered arm reached forward, and then he brought his two fingers together, pointing towards a spot above Celestial Emperor City.

In just an instant, everyone could sense the trembling of heaven and earth. The space surged endlessly, and a twisted entrance appeared above Celestial Emperor City, from which a vast amount of invisible power of space gushed out.

"The entrance is open. If not now, then when?"

As the white-robed Mansion Master's voice fell, soon a large number of figures in the city sprang up one after another. Disciples from various peaks swarmed like locusts, rushing overwhelmingly in the direction of that entrance.

"Everyone, see you in the secret realm!"

Ning Bufan clasped his fists towards everyone, then smiled, and his body also took off, disappearing in the blink of an eye into that secret realm entrance.

"I hope in ten years, you can all return safely."

Ji Chen, Huang Shuying, and others also bid farewell to each other and finally entered the secret realm without hesitation.

"Buzz!"

Ji Chen leaped into the air, paused for about two breaths in front of the entrance, and then stepped into it as well.

At the instant he stepped into the secret realm, a formless power of space rushed toward him from all directions, giving him a momentary feeling of weightlessness.

His consciousness also began to blur at this moment, as if he had drifted into nothingness.

This state seemed to last a long time, as if three or five months had passed, or maybe three or five years, yet it also felt like just a moment.

"Young Master, Young Master, it's time to get up. The sun's already shining on your behind!"

In a daze, Ji Chen heard such a voice by his ear.

He instinctively opened his eyes and sat up from a luxurious bed, a hint of confusion in his eyes as he surveyed everything in the room.

"Where am I..."

He blurted out, only to feel that everything before him was utterly unfamiliar.

"Young Master, are you still groggy from sleep? This is your own room, of course."

A girl in front of him spoke. She looked to be only seventeen or eighteen, yet she was pretty and lively.

"You are..."

Ji Chen was stunned, but before he could speak, a headache spread clearly through his mind.

Immediately, a flood of memories that did not belong to him surged forth in his mind.

"Divine River City... Qin Family... Qin Chen..."

At this moment, Ji Chen finally reacted and realized that he had entered the secret realm and was given such an identity.

Divine River City, located somewhere in the void, was the front line of the Immortal Ancient War.

There were Nine Great Emperor Clans in the city, guarding it through generations, and the Qin Family was one of those Nine Great Emperor Clans!

Qin Chen was the only son of the current Qin Family Patriarch. He had been pampered since birth, and as a result, had become a notorious playboy starting in his teenage years, infamous throughout Divine River City and known throughout the Nine Great Star Domains.

Receiving this information sent Ji Chen into a bit of a stupor.

"How did I become a playboy again..."

He was speechless, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Could it be that he is destined not to escape the label of a playboy in his life?

"No, it seems I got all the memories."

He sorted through all the memories in his mind, and Ji Chen quickly confirmed that the memories he received were indeed the entire life of this person named Qin Chen.

At present, Divine River City seemed calm and quiet, but news that shook the world had already spread.

It was said that beyond this galaxy, foreign invaders would come, although the specific time was unknown, possibly in a few months or even a few years.

However, from the memories, Ji Chen knew that the so-called Immortal Ancient War would truly begin ten years later.

During these ten years, the Nine Great Emperor Clans and all forces from the Nine Great Star Domains were preparing for the upcoming war.

"So... we won't have to experience the Immortal Ancient War?" Ji Chen was momentarily stunned.

This was undoubtedly good news, meaning that by the time the Immortal Ancient War actually began, those who had entered the secret realm would have spent their ten years there and completed their quest.

More importantly, now that he had become the playboy Young Master of the Qin Family, wouldn't he then be able to freely access the Qin Family's Cultivation Technique Pavilion to study the secret techniques and martial techniques inside?

This thought inevitably brought a rush of excitement to Ji Chen.

"Young Master, what are you daydreaming for? Get up and wash your face quickly, as the Young Madam needs to come and greet you later."

Seeing Ji Chen sitting there in a daze, the girl couldn't help but urge him.

Young Madam?

Hearing this, Ji Chen was instantly taken aback.

Following the memories in his mind, he began to piece things together.

He soon learned all the happenings.

According to the memories, he was indeed already married. Being the sole heir of the Qin Family, his father always hoped that Ji Chen could pass on the family line. So, two years ago, he arranged a marriage, and a grand wedding was held a month later.

The bride was from another of the Nine Great Emperor Clans, the 'Chi Family', but she was a daughter not favored by her family.

Chi Yun, her name sounded nice, though she was a typical young lady with ordinary looks. She was born plain, not ugly but not quite pretty either.

Because of this, in the two years since the wedding, Ji Chen had never shared intimacy with her.

Aside from Chi Yun visiting him every morning to greet him, they hardly saw each other the rest of the time.

It is worth mentioning that Chi Yun, though born plain and unremarkable, managed, through her own efforts, to keep her cultivation from falling too far behind her peers.

In the memories Ji Chen received, the two eventually truly came together due to numerous events in the future.

And among these was an event that completely changed Qin Chen's life.

Ten years later, the Immortal Ancient War fully broke out, marking the start of a war that lasted nearly two hundred years.

Qin Zhihai, the current Patriarch of the Qin Family and father to Qin Chen, fell at the very beginning of the Immortal Ancient War under the stars.

The fall of his father dramatically changed Qin Chen's temperament, as the pillar of his heart collapsed abruptly.

He vowed to rise, and in the wars that followed, he slew countless foreign enemies, and in the last century of the war, when most of the powerful had fallen and few remained, it was Qin Chen alone who defended Divine River City for a hundred years.
