And in the neighboring Empires, people who have the power to see and predict about a destiny, fates, and futures, despite it being weak, they seemed to have a glimpse of a raging and furious purple eyes of a large form of a beast before they have instantly been hit with a powerful backlash as they cough out blood, their faces paling white while some of them even fainted and died from seeing something that a mere mortal isn't allowed to get a glimpse of.

"What is happening?"

"Ah! What is this?"

Everyone fell into confusion, but they knew that something has changed in one of the neighboring empire's fates and destiny, something that was completely beyond their understanding and comprehension.

And from the mysterious seer, shamans and other kinds of people that have the ability to 'see' a different world in their eyes, fortunately, everyone can tell which one of the Empire has caused them all to become confused about the mysterious phenomena that have happened.

In the entire Continent, every empire has different belief and symbols into their Royal Family, and in the Four Largest Empires, base from the large purple eyes of a dragon that they saw in that split second, there is only one Empire which greatly believes and has been using the symbol of a dragon in the long history, which was the Chang Empire!

Everything seemed unbelievable though because, in everyone's eyes that has those strange abilities, the Chang Empire's destiny and fates have always been a chaotic state, twisting into an unknown future and ever changing.

And even though they couldn't see deeper into it since there are a rule and restriction that has been set up to the people that live in the entire Continent, only people who were born and raised in their own Empire only have the ability to glimpse of its future and destiny.

Every Empire has its own mysterious member, be it the well known High Priestess of the Chang Empire, the group's of shamans in the North, the National Division in the South and many more, but all of their powers are independent only toward their own Empire.

They don't know why and how, but that has been the rule from long before in the past that no one can remember anymore.

However, despite it all, the rulers that have been informed have started to make their move as they prepare to observe the current situation of the Chang Empires and figuring out what is really happening since every one of them felt an ominous premonition that it was just the start of something exceptional event happening in the future.

Thus, different from the previous life of Shao Cheng, the neighboring Empires have started to focus their eyes and attention at the Chang Empire which is far from their usual attitude they have from before in his previous life.

Ignorant about what just happened, Shao Cheng was currently facing a bit of trouble, after all, he was currently being stared at by that purple dragon that was currently looking down at him in an overbearing way, which surprisingly remind him of that annoying Ren Yuan in his previous life.

And seemingly knowing what he was thinking about, the purple dragon suddenly roars toward him, albeit without no power over it to cause him harm and only causing Shao Cheng hair to fly chaotically.

Rather than feeling scared about this purple dragon, Shao Cheng only felt annoyed, that familiar annoying feeling he always has toward Ren Yuan in the past, which wasn't surprising since from what he could tell, this is the form of the split purple fog that belong to Ren Yuan in his previous life.

So… Ren Yuan has unconsciously caused him to almost die as a spirit in the past? Since Shao Cheng was quite sure that this one isn't supposed to go to his body, is it because of Ren Yuan's obsession and feelings that have caused it to go into his body after dying?

Damn it Ren Yuan… your affection is so heavy that I almost died from it.

Anyway, the most important part at the moment is to figure out what is happening but not before forgetting to give his thanks to the previous High Priestess Jiayi that has saved his life.

"So… what do you want?"

Shao Cheng's sapphire eyes twitch when another roar was echoed out from the purple dragon, the furious rage that he has been feeling has instantly cooled down at this thing appearance.

Seemingly feeling proud, the purple dragon finally stops roaring before changing his shape into a smaller form before leaning his head to Shao Cheng.

After staying silent for a while as Shao Cheng communicates at the purple dragon which seemed to have wisdom and intelligence has finally let out a smile filled with helplessness but at the same time strong determination.

"Aren't you a greedy one?… Alright, I accept it. Rather than exchanging my soul to a devil for a wish or power. I don't mind making an exchange with you."

This purple dragon is like a gift from him after all… even though the man might have not known about it, but who cares?

So this time, don't let anyone become the Emperor, either choose between the two of them to sit in the throne?

Alright, why not, he will just let Ren Yuan become the Emperor this time around once again, although it's going to be so troublesome, much harder to deal with while he will probably experience the same hardship and suffering once again, but…

Hey, Ren Yuan… since I promise to follow you in this life… making you the Emperor is also part of it, right? After all, Shao Cheng doesn't feel like becoming one at all.

Seemingly thinking something funny as a thought grace Shao Cheng mind, "As your faithful follower, it is my job and duty to serve and assist you with the best of my ability."

However, there was one thing that Shoa Cheng has forgotten, it was the fact that the 'Ren Yuan' in the past that he knows, never really wanted to become one, and was just force by certain circumstances which Shao Cheng will later determine in the future and cause him a great headache, as they tried to push the power and authority toward each other to handle.

"So tell me, where is Ren Yuan right now?" After all, this purple dragon was once belong to 'Ren Yuan' and even if this 'Ren Yuan' in this world isn't the same in a previous life, there is still connection right?

Shao Cheng seemed to be in the great losing end in the exchange of their deal, but who cares?

Two lifetimes of experience, it was a bit a miracle that he hasn't become insane and crazy… or is he already secretly broken and just don't know about it?

Because one thing has changed after the previous life was over, Shao Cheng felt numb about his own life anymore.

Even if his soul will never have the chance to reincarnate anymore, forever be bound by this world or Empire entity and becoming its own puppet or servants if he doesn't fulfill his promise, duty, and responsibility that has been given to him aside from making either Ren Yuan or himself the Emperor of the Chang Empire.

After all, there is no way that Shao Cheng will only need to make someone an Emperor since he was also asked other surprisingly unbelievable things from this purple dragon but right now, Shao Cheng desperately needs this power, something that he couldn't freely use because it wasn't his in the first place.

"Ah… Ren Yuan… see what I do just for you. You better appreciate it and treat me well in this life alright?"

So with a smile, Shao Cheng follows the direction that the purple dragon has shown him after it once again enters his body as he dashes ahead.

And this time with a direction to go.
