Oh no, I've become Shi Hao!

"Wait... this isn't right, is it?" When Li Changsheng regained consciousness, he saw himself pinned to a table, while a vicious woman and a cute child watched him from the side.

Beside the vicious woman, an old man was respectfully whispering to her.

Li Changsheng overheard their conversation, and when he heard the words "Natural Supreme Bone," he was completely stunned.

Then, a flood of memories rushed into his mind.

After processing the memories, Li Changsheng—or rather, he should be called Shi Hao now—was dazed.

Are you kidding me? I just woke up from a nap, and somehow I've ended up in the Perfect World, becoming the original protagonist Shi Hao. And now, my Supreme Bone is about to be dug out. You can't play me like this!

Shi Hao struggled desperately.

However, having only just been born, he was utterly powerless to resist.

Before long, Shi Hao felt a sharp, stabbing pain and sensed that something vital had been lost from his body.

In the final second before passing out, Shi Hao memorized the face of that vicious woman. Once he had the strength, he would definitely take his revenge on her!

After the Supreme Bone was extracted, the old man transplanted it into the body of the child beside the woman.

As for Shi Hao, from an angle they couldn't see, a golden light flickered momentarily within his bright red blood.

A short while later, when Shi Hao's parents rushed back, they saw him on the verge of death. A great upheaval ensued, and ultimately, just like in the original story, they took Shi Hao to the Shi Family Ancestral Land, hoping he could be saved there.

By the time Shi Hao woke up again, he was already in Shi Village, located within the Boundless Mountain Range.

Just as Shi Hao woke, a tender green willow branch wrapped around him and carried him out of the room.

Seeing this, the villagers of Shi Village hurriedly knelt to pay their respects to the Sacrificial Spirit Lord. When they saw the Sacrificial Spirit Lord carrying the child, Shi Hao, countless villagers felt that the boy would surely be saved.

Protected by several tender green branches, Shi Hao's tiny body soon arrived at the willow tree at the entrance of Shi Village.

The awakened Shi Hao looked at the tender green branches wrapping him and immediately thought of the Willow Deity.

He had arrived at Shi Village.

As Shi Hao was thinking, a gentle and beautiful voice echoed in his ear.

"You are very special. I cannot see your future; it is a grey haze. Perhaps you are the one I have been waiting for, the one who can save..."

"That's right, that's right! It's me, it's me! Willow Deity, it's me! I am the one who will save the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the future." Hearing that beautiful voice, Shi Hao directly waved his tender little hands and spoke out loud.

"You know of me..." Before the Willow Deity could finish, she saw the infant before her waving his little hands and acknowledging her.

This left her somewhat surprised.

"Immortal Emperor! I am an Immortal Emperor in the future. I have returned to the present because the future is too dark; I cannot hold it alone, so I came back to find helpers." Facing the Willow Deity, Shi Hao hid nothing and spoke directly.

In order to survive and grow in this world, Shi Hao had come up with a plan. He had to bluff his way past the Willow Deity, though deceiving an Immortal King Giant was impossible.

But what if everything he said was the truth?

"Immortal..." Hearing the infant's words, the Willow Deity fell silent.

She found herself unable to utter the word 'Emperor' that followed. She had a vague premonition that if she did, she would suffer a severe wound to her Dao.

This proved that the infant's words were true; he was not lying.

Just as the Willow Deity was at a loss for what to do, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind.

It was a lone, helpless youth facing four terrifying enemies. Behind him lay the ruined Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In the vision, countless beings wailed in grief, and blood-red rain fell from the sky.

"Is the future... truly that tragic..." A look of sorrow appeared on the Willow Deity's face.

She had seen a fragment of the future, but it was far too cruel. In particular, those four enemies made her heart tremble with fear. Facing those four powerful foes, the youth had no allies by his side. With the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths behind him, had he carried it all alone?

Seeing the Willow Deity's reaction, Shi Hao was a bit stunned. "You can see the future? That shouldn't be right. You're only an Immortal King Giant; logically, you shouldn't be able to see the future. Could it be because of me?" Shi Hao pondered; perhaps it was his presence.

Perhaps it was through him that the Willow Deity was able to see a fragment of the future.

Seeing that the Willow Deity had witnessed the future, Shi Hao came up with a plan.

Since he had become Shi Hao, for his own sake and for the sake of all living beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he had to persuade this Immortal King before him.

"In the future, I tried many ways, but ultimately could not withstand the weirdness of the Heavens. So I returned to the past—which is now—to seek another way."

"In the future, the Weird Race from the Heavens invades. They are backed by the Original Plateau and cannot be killed. Relying on this, they wore me down until I lost all hope. Moreover, there were too few people by my side; even in the future, there weren't many companions who could help."

"So I came back. I've realized that since the enemy is endless and vast in number, why not use the same numbers to fight them?" Shi Hao told the Willow Deity what would happen in the future, while also preparing for the plan he needed to execute next.

"I returned with one goal: to spread my Bloodline as much as possible and nurture descendants so they can grow up and help me hold back the enemy. This will give me time to Cultivate. As long as I have enough time, I can ascend to a higher Realm. Then, I can ignore the enemy's numbers and charge directly into their base."

"Willow Deity, you are an Immortal King Giant. I've returned to the present, and my strength is weak in the early stages, so I need your care. I will also help you recover your strength, but I need your help as well."

"I need to conceive children with you. My Bloodline is very strong. If we have children together, the offspring born will be able to grow into at least an Immortal King Giant in the future. In the future, one Immortal King Giant might not change much."

"But what if there are hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of them? Among these Immortal Kings, through countless battles, some will surely be able to promote to Quasi-Immortal Emperor. As long as we have enough children, we can delay the enemy and buy enough time for me."

"Of course, you won't be the only one bearing my children. Women with good Aptitude in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths may all bear my children. When I returned, I decided to use numbers to stall the enemy. There's no need to fear their deaths; once I become an Immortal Emperor, I will have a way to resurrect those who have fallen."

Having become Shi Hao, facing this starting situation, he couldn't possibly ascend according to the original story.

Thus, fabricating a reason to make the Willow Deity believe him, to have her protect his path and bear his children, was the best way.

As long as the Willow Deity didn't go to the Realm Sea and stayed by his side to have children with him, her strength could fully recover and even reach a higher level.

This was because of the confidence his Golden Finger gave him.

Like every transmigrator, he had a Golden Finger, specifically the 'Many Children, Much Blessing System.' As long as he had many children, he could absorb a portion of power from his descendants.

The stronger the offspring, the more power they would feed back to him.

That was why he proposed such a plan to the Willow Deity. He truly would be an Immortal Emperor in the future, or even higher, so he wasn't exactly lying to her.

Shi Hao looked at the willow branch, awaiting the Willow Deity's response.

"So the threat to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths isn't actually the enemies from the other side of the Realm Sea?" The Willow Deity hadn't expected that the true threat lay elsewhere.

"Those four Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the Realm Sea are nothing compared to the weird army." Shi Hao knew well the horror of the weird army.

Hearing Shi Hao's answer, the Willow Deity took a deep breath. She didn't feel that Shi Hao was lying, because as he explained, she saw more of the future fragment.

She saw the weird army Shi Hao spoke of. When she saw that densely packed, eerie horde, even she felt a sense of despair.

But when she saw the back of the person suppressing the weird army alone, she felt that only he could save the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Heavens and Myriad Realms.

"Alright, I promise you. I will protect you as you grow up." The Willow Deity looked at Shi Hao and gave her word.

Hearing the Willow Deity's agreement, Shi Hao felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

*Grumble...* Just as he relaxed, his stomach began to growl.

Only then did Shi Hao remember that he was currently just an infant.

He was hungry.

"Willow Deity, I'm hungry." Shi Hao looked at the Willow Deity and said something that left even her dazed.

New book, please follow! This time I won't hold back; I'm going to write freely. I won't let a single heroine go—at least ten children for each!
