* First Incarnation
* Ninth Incarnation

## Overview

Di tian is a major antagonist and rival of Wang Wei in first 9 volumes of the book. He is a reincarnator who has lived 9 lives and is currently on his 10th. He is the main reason why Wang Wei managed to reach his potential. Later it was revealed that Di Tian was a pawn of Overseer of Samsara, who was trying to use him to escape the shackles of the Grand Dao.

## Appearance

A young man with white hair and a cold face approached the front door. This young man had a handsome face, however, his cold and indifferent temperament made people want to avoid him.

This young man had very special eyes. His eyes displayed the vicissitudes of life; it was like he had lived for so long and seen so many things that he became numb to everything and everyone around him.

However, if you look deep into those eyes, you will find both a profound sadness and Will that could sunder anything between Heaven and Earth.

## Background

He was born near the end of the Emperor Beginning Era and was one of the greatest geniuses of that era, cultivated by the entire human race in their battle against the Innate Demon Gods.

When he was in the womb, Emperor Tianzi detected that he was a key figure in the war and was selected as the key figure to cultivate. So, even before he was born, his body was washed away by both the Emperor's blood essence and Primordial Gods and Innate Demons as a way to set up his foundation.

After he was born, he listened to countless Emperors' teachings and preached the Dao. Many precious and rare resources that would make all the Emperor Lineages fight a full-scale war were used by him for his cultivation. He was expected to be another Eternal Emperor of the human race to lead them in that era.

Unfortunately, an accident occurred to him and his wife before he managed to prove the Dao, and Di Tian was forced to reincarnate. The source of his strength did not diminish because of this, instead, he became more powerful after reincarnation. Before his reincarnation, Di Tian foretold that there might be some accident. So, he prepared beforehand. He left secret realms full of innate treasures, Innate Demon Gods and Emperor Bloods, and even a few chaos treasures to recuperate.

To acquire all these things, he had to use all the merits he achieved for the human race during the war. And as he expected, an accident did occur. When he finally reincarnated, it was already after the Null Era, when the war ended.

Although sad that everyone he knew was either dead or gone, he still continued forward as he had a mission to fulfil: become a Great Emperor to revive his beloved wife, Ning'er. Using the things he left behind, he quickly cultivated to a realm similar to True Monarchs. Although the environment then had changed making it difficult for the ancient cultivation system to flourish, he did not have this problem with the resources in his hand.

When it was time for the Heaven Will Battle, Di Tian lost, and it was at the hand of Wang Wei's ancestor, Emperor Qiyuan. Although unfortunate, he still accepted his defeat calmly. After all, this was not the first time.

Additionally, he knew that Emperor Qiyuan was carrying the luck of an era with him; he was destined to open a new era and spread the Dao to the entire Myriad Emperor Realm. So, Di Tian planned for his next reincarnation. Before his death, he condensed something Cultivation Seed and reincarnated with it. This seed's purpose allowed him to absorb all the strength of his previous life after cultivating to the peak.

So, in his second reincarnation, Di Tian once again cultivated to the peak. This time, he used the Origin System to fit in better with heaven and earth. Once he reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he absorbed the cultivation of his previous life, thus drastically increasing his strength. Unfortunately, he failed once again during the Heaven Will Battle.

This time, his opponent was the Yan family ancestor, the Sword Empress. To this day, Di Tian remembered that fight, if only it could have been considered one. The Sword Empress–holding a bamboo as a sword–gently swung it and terrifying sword qi destroyed his body into millions of pieces.

Luckily, he already cultivated the Cultivation Seed and his soul was still intact, so he could be reincarnated again. When it came to his third and fourth, reincarnation, Di Tian does not have any memory of how he lost. He remembered participating in the battle, but for some unknown reason, he could not remember the face or the name of the person who defeated him. Truth be told, he could not even remember how he lost.

In his 5th reincarnation, he was born as a Buddhist monk. He was very talented, so was cultivated with great emphasis by the Buddhist Sect. That monk had the brilliant idea of cultivating the [Past, Present, and Future Buddha Book] together by splitting his soul into three. This was not a simple feat as this book was essentially three Emperor Scriptures combined into one; it was never meant to be cultivated simultaneously. If succeeded, that monk would be able to compete with the Heaven Chosen of Buddhism at that time who cultivated the Buddha Golden Body.

Unfortunately, an accident still occurred. Right as this monk was about to succeed, it was the exact time that Di Tian recovered the memories of his previous lives, which led to cultivation deviation.

With his understanding of the soul, he was able to cure the injury to his Primordial Spirit. However, his Sea of Consciousness was filled with the berserk power of time, constantly influencing his mind. And when it was time for the Heaven Will Battle, he encountered the Absolute Beginning Emperor. He could not even use half of his strength, so he lost miserably.

At this point, Di Tian knew that something was off. Nevertheless, he continued onward.

In his 6th Reincarnation, he became the Prince of the Devil Race. Once he regained his memories, Di Tian immediately realized that something was wrong. He seemed to have formed a feud with a little girl from a small village because some human traitors wanted to give her to him,

Usually, most people would not care about such small and insignificant things, but he knew his experience over the past few reincarnations, so he was cautious. After investigation, he discovered that this little girl carried tremendous luck–just like Qiyuan Emperor. Additionally, the entire Devil Race was enveloped by Qi of Calamity and would soon face a terrible tribulation.

So, he hurried to take action to smooth out the situation. He contacted human leaders at that time and asked them that as long as they could set up a meeting with the little girl, he would find a way to create a better living environment and treatment for the human race. This was a perfect plan to not only smooth things out with the human race and wash away some of his karma but also peacefully deal with a literal Son of Destiny.

Unfortunately, his words were wrongly interpreted. As a result, more people started to chase after the little girl, making her life more miserable. Frustrated, he dispatched his Sleepers, which were a group of elite information gatherers that had constantly reincarnated with him.

And unlike him, there are usually many of them in each generation, so the amount of information they have gathered over the years is unimaginable The only time that has failed him was what happened in his third and fourth reincarnation. Even they did not know.

In the end, the Sleepers failed to catch the little girl. Somehow, she always managed to escape. Without any choice, Di Tian decided to prepare for the Heaven Will Battle. This was his 6th reincarnation, and each time, he had cultivated to the peak of the Quasi Emperor-Realm, so he had the strength of 6 lives. With all his strength, he did not think he would lose.

But he lost. Fair and Square.

In that final battle, despite the secret intervention of the Devil Gods, he still lost to Empress Wu. Plus, once she won, she sealed him and stole his talent and strength before killing him. Luckily, he had left a backhand; a piece of his soul survived and occupied a human cultivator. He used the time that Empress Wu was madly slaughtering the Devil race to secretly steal many of the resources of the race to re-cultivate to the peak once again.

Then, he condensed the Cultivation Seed and prepared for the 7th reincarnation. This time again, he failed to become a Great Emperor once again, and it was all because of tricks. In this life, he was born as a devil cultivator. By the time his memories returned, he was considered one of the greatest devils that ever existed in the current generation His body and soul were tainted by sins–even worse than when he was an actual devil. What's worse, all the sins were the reason he lost the final battle.

Emperor Kong was a man of great merit. For his creation of the Academy System, gathered large enough merit to cultivate the Golden Body of Merit. So, when a devil cultivator like Di Tian faced someone like this, he was overwhelmed by the merit and could not even use ten per cent of his strength. And just like that, he also failed to become a Great Emperor.

By this time, Di Tian had become discouraged. Failures after failure had begun to shatter his Dao Heart. However, his desire to one day see the smile of his wife again, to gently caress her face, to brush her hair, to taste her lips, to hear her voice: kept him going. No matter the price, no matter how many times he has to fall and get up, he would.

So, he went into his 8th reincarnation. And as expected, he also encountered another Eternal Emperor. However, the defeat this time greatly angered him. The reason he was defeated was that he only awakened the memories of his past life after his defeat at the hands of the Heaven Devour Emperor. He never even had the chance to absorb the strength of his past lives.

At that point, Di Tia was aware that Heavenly Dao was manipulating his reincarnation to prevent him from becoming a Great Emperor, just because he had committed a taboo. Nevertheless, he did not back down. He calmly prepared for his 9th and final reincarnation. At this point, his soul had reached its limits and could not reincarnate for the tenth time. Di Tian studied the Dao of Reincarnation deeply and ensured that he would be born in the right era, his memories awakened just after he was born, and even ensured that he was blessed with great luck.

With the strength of his nine lives, he should be guaranteed to win the throne. But now, he received news that there were variables. No matter how talented Wang Wei was, he should not rival him once he reached the Quasi Emperor-Realm. With his talent, he should be able to reach the strength of his 6th reincarnation, similar to Empress Wu.

Even if he was more talented, at best he could reach the 7th reincarnation, and pushing it, the 8th. But not the current 9th. He knew that 9 was a qualitative change, and even he did know how powerful he would be.
