"Exhausted… completely exhausted!"
After handling Yao Lao's matters, Xiao Yan silently lay back on the bed.
This kind of weakness was something he hadn't felt in tens of thousands of years.
In his current state, doing anything was inconvenient. It was better to rest for a while and consider other matters once his strength recovered.
"Although my Dou Qi is only Third Tier now, my memories of my past life remain."
With all he had accumulated in his previous life, not to mention Heavenly-tier techniques or Ninth-rank pill formulas, even methods of the Heavenly Sovereign or God-level cultivation…
"Huh? My memories… why are my memories—"
Xiao Yan, who had just closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened them wide, disbelief flashing in his eyes.
His memories of his past life were only clear for the first few decades. Everything afterward had blurred, leaving only major milestones vaguely intact.
"Damn it… my current body is far too weak. The most soul power it can handle is just a First-rank Alchemist's level."
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth. Even with his tens of thousands of years of superpowerful memory, absorbing it all at once would be hard—even for a Dou Emperor. A body that had not even reached Dou Zhe? Impossible.
If he tried to inject centuries of memories before reaching the Dominator level, his soul would likely explode instantly.
"Truly, when it rains, it pours."
Xiao Yan sighed, closing his eyes to think. After a while, he slowly opened them again.
"Fortunately, although most memories are blurred, a few useful fragments remain."
Xiao Yan knew that being reborn meant that besides the strong heart honed over tens of thousands of years, he had also gained countless insights from those memories.
Within them were secrets even gods would respect. Heavenly-tier Dou Techniques, peerless divine skills—any of them could drive the Dou Qi continent, even the multiverse, into chaos.
But with limited soul power, he only retained what he had created himself.
"That's not a big problem. Once my cultivation recovers to Great Dou Master level, I should recall many memories before the Dominator level. With Yao Lao's help, it won't take long."
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly. Fortunately, he still retained some cultivation techniques and divine skills he had invented.
But before becoming a Dou Zhe, most were useless. Leftover pill formulas might even be more useful now.
After taking stock, his body's weakness soon made him drowsy. Without realizing it, he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke, he felt a delicate hand gently wiping his forehead with a damp cloth.
Opening his eyes slowly, he saw that the sky had darkened—he had slept a long time.
Turning, he saw a young girl's pretty face staring at him—not Xun'er, but Xiao Mei.
"Big Brother… you're awake!"
Seeing Xiao Yan awake, Xiao Mei's face lit up. Yet a complex expression flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes.
Memories of his past and present life swirled in his mind.
In his last life, before losing Dou Qi, he had been ambitious...the clan's designated young leader, with all younger members trailing behind, including Xiao Mei.
But after losing Dou Qi, those people slowly changed.
"Big Brother, the clan leader sent me this Restorative Pill. He said your body will recover quickly after taking it."
Xiao Mei picked up a jade bottle, taking out a pill the size of a longan and placing it at Xiao Yan's lips.
Xiao Yan glanced but did not refuse, swallowing it with a sip of water.
The Restorative Pill, a common First-rank pill, restored vitality and body strength. Even so, one pill was worth several hundred gold coins.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan was still the clan's precious child. Not only Xiao Zhan, but even the elders treated him with utmost care.
"Mei'er."
Xiao Yan looked at the ceiling, then at her slightly coquettish face.
"If all my Dou Qi were gone, and my cultivation never returned, would you still treat me like this?"
"Big Brother, what are you saying?"
Xiao Mei froze, then fear tinged her face, and tears glimmered in her eyes.
"You're the clan's number one genius, the Xiao family's future. The head and elders will find a way to heal you."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan smiled.
"Big Brother, why are you laughing?"
Xiao Mei asked, confused. Xiao Yan seemed different now.
