Rewrite My Fate to Become the Daoist Ancestor

"Crooked Mouth Dragon King?"

On the podium, Ning Xunqiu looked up from his phone. Zhang Wei had already picked up a pencil knife and cut open his palm, staring blankly at the blood on his hand, the curve of his upturned mouth impossible to suppress.

Ding dong.

[Main quest is activating... Completing any one task will allow you to return.]

[S-class task — Imprison a "peculiar" entity and bring it back to the Main God Space, reward of 30 million points, one S-class authority (can be repeated)]

Ning Xunqiu furrowed his brows slightly.

Ning Wudi defeated a Celestial List Martial Artist in An Yue World, but it was only an A-level task.

And "peculiar"? With no level requirement and repeatable, even imprisoning one peculiar entity is considered an S-level task? That’s high value.

Buzz!

Ning Xunqiu staring at Zhang Wei.

Cyan Heaven status bestowed.

The entire world was already different.

Those deep eyes gazed at Zhang Wei once again, a strange light flashed, and then, lines of information slowly appeared before him.

[Zhang Wei unknown, "Catastrophe Level" Deceiver ten years later, Baozhou City Defender General, failed to seal the source of peculiarity with other Hua Country Defender Generals, causing apocalypse, reborn for unknown reasons.]

"Reincarnator?"

Ning Xunqiu’s expression shifted.

He, as Cyan Heaven, couldn’t see through the information of a mortal, this world is not simple.

He silently recited in his heart.

"Black and white and grey under the sky, only a touch of cyan... The Loose Cultivator Ancestor who taught without discrimination, the Cyan Cloud Sword Leader who intercepted a line of celestial opportunity for all mankind..."

Beyond the world,

A boundless galaxy flowed from the void, it was his Daoist Treasure "Immortal Slaying Sword Map."

No matter where, with his past deeds and name before attaining Dao with "Cyan Heaven," he could call upon "himself,"

But without leaving enough traces within the world, forcibly using the Immortal Slaying Sword Map within it would require the consumption of "Fortune."

Ning Xunqiu looked at Zhang Wei.

[Main God’s Apostle, completely lost true name, this world has rebooted 39,700 times...]

"World reboot? It’s truly profound, rebooted over thirty thousand times, the world hasn’t vanished yet."

Ning Xunqiu was astonished.

The Dark Star Realm also once rebooted, a final straw for self-rescue as the world headed toward dissolution. But unfortunately, rebooting so many times, virtually possessing infinite variables, yet never succeeded.

This Zhang Wei is likely not experiencing his first rebirth.

However, the "existence" that even the world couldn’t handle despite exerting all its effort intrigued Ning Xunqiu greatly.

A definite Big Fish!

"Teacher, Zhang Wei slit his wrist trying to commit suicide, he’s truly gone mad!! Teacher!" A female classmate saw the blood-covered Zhang Wei still chuckling foolishly, her pupils dilating with disbelief, suddenly letting out a piercing scream.

"Yue Chan? You’re still alive."

Zhang Wei, hands covered in blood holding the pencil knife, followed the sound, stepped forward attempting to calm Fang Yuechan.

Fang Yuechan retreated with an expression of fear.

"Zhang Wei, I know you’ve been under a bit of pressure with studies lately, calm down, put the knife down first!" The surrounding classmates, startled by Zhang Wei’s demeanor, quickly backed away.

Originally disrupted from a pleasant dream, the student with a domineering aura intended to question "soft target" Zhang Wei.

At the moment Zhang Wei used the knife without hesitation and slashed himself, the student jumped onto the table like a monkey, displaying Qinggong, leapt over the heads of several classmates, now standing by the window vigilantly watching Zhang Wei’s actions.

Zhang Wei glanced at the chaotic classroom, seeing the terror-stricken classmates, casually tossed the pencil knife to the ground, awkwardly chuckled, "Everyone relax, I’m not crazy."

Seeing Zhang Wei discard the "weapon," speaking clearly, the classmates present sighed in relief, and began asking what exactly happened to Zhang Wei.

"Whew."

Zhang Wei listened to the clamor in his ears, took a deep breath.

During today’s evening study, a few students fond of playing summoning games accidentally attracted a "Catastrophe Level Peculiar" entity that expanded its eerie domain, engulfing the school, leaving barely any survivors within the school.

Right now, his voice carried little weight, if he went outside claiming there was something peculiar, he’d likely be dismissed as a madman. He couldn’t evacuate everyone, unless the country intervened to evacuate, but currently, the country hasn’t established "Relevant Departments," he couldn’t contact them.

At this moment, he hadn’t yet mastered peculiarity, he couldn’t face "Catastrophe Level Peculiarity" directly, possibly losing his life...

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, as long as he found Chang Liwei and them, stopped their summoning game in advance, the Catastrophe Level Peculiar won’t appear, he can prevent all tragedies.

Before that... there’s still time, maybe just delay a few minutes.

Zhang Wei looked at his classmates, instantly becoming a different person, serious demeanor, sharp gaze, as his eyes swept across the classroom, meeting Zhang Wei’s gaze, it was like an electric shock, trembling all over.

Zhang Wei walked to the podium, picked up a chalk, ready to write on the blackboard, only to find a bespectacled man still sitting at the podium, the two exchanging glances.

"Teacher Ning?! So this class is yours!" Zhang Wei was surprised.

As a newbie, he was able to escape the first attack of a peculiarity at the school thanks to Teacher Ning holding off, allowing seven of them to escape, giving him the experience to master peculiarity.

Afterward, Teacher Ning somehow made the entire school and Catastrophe Level Peculiar vanish.

He became one of the Defender Generals, requested national investigation for several years, the mystery remains unsolved.

Now, with Teacher Ning’s help, he has the chance to "seal" or "master" this unknown Catastrophe Level Peculiarity.

"Hmm."

Ning Xunqiu nodded.

"Teacher Ning, what I’m about to discuss is crucial for everyone’s safety. Could you please stand up for a moment?" Zhang Wei requested.

"Of course." Ning Xunqiu stood up, moving to the side, guessing that Zhang Wei was likely about to talk about those undying evil spirits. In this pivotal moment of resurrection, he still had the mind to give a lecture to his classmates...

Indeed, without being extraordinary, one couldn’t possibly become the nation’s Defender General.

"..." Zhang Wei froze.

Then he picked up the chalk, "swish swish swish" writing three rules on the blackboard.

"Classmates, from now on, you must remember my words."

"Not long ago, a mysterious force twisted the world. Urban legends and tales passed down through generations may turn into real anomalies... the longer these stories and legends have been circulated, the more terrifying the anomalies birthed from them."

"Anomalies?"

A student scoffed upon hearing this.

"Materialism doesn’t fear any monsters or ghosts. It seems your mind isn’t quite right; you’d better see a doctor soon."

"Don’t think that crazy act just now will make us believe your lunatic words!"

"Indeed, stop causing trouble, I’m busy revising here."

Staring at the questioning faces below the podium, Zhang Wei knew that convincing them of the existence of anomalies was akin to daydreaming.

However, from today onwards, the resurgence of anomalies will become increasingly frequent, affecting everyone in Baozhou City. The nation will, in three months, disseminate the ironclad laws obtained at the cost of investigators’ lives to all.

"You can choose not to believe, but if one day you truly encounter an anomaly, I hope you’ll recall my words today. By then... do your utmost to find the killing patterns of the anomaly and survive." He spoke calmly.

Most students slightly frowned hearing Zhang Wei’s placid words, glancing at Ning Xunqiu, hoping Teacher Ning would speak.

Ning Xunqiu pondered silently to the side, not interrupting, allowing Zhang Wei to eloquently explain the countermeasures against anomalies on the blackboard.

Before seeing an anomaly firsthand, he too didn’t know what it was; this anomaly sounded very idealistic.

An anomaly stepping out of a story? An anomaly can spread via names, sounds, photos, and any medium, disseminating like cancer globally. Guns, missiles, nuclear weapons, and energy weapons cannot harm anomalies in any way.

Ninety-nine percent of matter is unable to touch anomalies.

Anomalies are not traditional ghosts formed by unjust deaths but rather a certain natural law or higher-dimensional life.

It’s as though anomalies... do not exist?

The students in the classroom saw Teacher Ning not speaking, thinking he was worried Zhang Wei was having another episode and letting him continue his lecture. Some students opened their books to continue revising.

After a few minutes, Zhang Wei finished talking about anomalies; he quickly needed to find those students who played the séance game to understand the source of the anomalies.

"Why is the sky dark?"

"It’s only five in the afternoon."

"What’s happening outside? Is it going to rain?"

Students noticed something was off while revising. The outside suddenly became still, with dark clouds rolling in.

"So soon?! It wasn’t supposed to appear until evening self-study."

Zhang Wei turned to look, the thick black fog outside spread over, enveloping the entire school. His heart quickened.

They had played the séance game earlier than expected?

A chain reaction from that reincarnation?

Zhang Wei’s mind quickly flashed several thoughts.

Even if he didn’t delay these few minutes, it seemed he couldn’t escape this school.

"Ah—!!"

Outside the window, the black fog surged like tides towards the teaching building. Then, ear-piercing screams rang out but swiftly vanished into the rolling fog.

"Is this... truly an anomaly?!"

In the classroom, everyone witnessed this extraordinary scene, fear instantly manifesting.

Everyone gathered towards the podium, seeking a hint of safety.

"Zhang Wei, you knew about anomalies before, you must have a way out, right?"

"Think of something now!!"

Zhang Wei felt a chill run down his spine. Even after experiencing this again, he wasn’t confident he could escape this Celestial Calamity level anomaly’s domain.

He took a deep breath, recalling his experience from ten years ago, quickly saying:

"Everyone, first take deep breaths, stay calm, do not panic! Do not run around! Just stay in the classroom and don’t make any noise. From now on, no matter what sounds come from outside, do not respond, and do not open the door!"

"Yue City, Wang Liang, you stop anyone from opening the door; if you want to survive, follow my instructions!"

Zhang Wei pointed to several students.

Yue City, Wang Liang were tall and robust, with average grades, also among the seven who escaped last life, though now terrified and trembling, at least willing to listen, not dragging others down.

Last life, it was someone opening the door, letting a Ghost Slave in the classroom cause chaos, everyone rushing out being hunted continuously in the black fog. If not for encountering Teacher Ning, they would be dead.

If he ran out now and the Ghost Slave targeted him, it would be certain death.

"Okay!"

Yue City, Wang Liang, and others knew the severity, nodded their heads.
