Today, no matter what the world threw at her, she would forge a transcendental-grade foundation—a foundation that would shake the destiny of this realm.
In her previous life, even as an alchemist coveted by Upper Realm titans, she had ultimately been shackled by a grave flaw: her foundation was only mid-grade. That single flaw had suffocated her path, hindering her every advancement. The fact she clawed her way to the Eternal Emperor Realm despite such a crude base was proof of her monstrous perseverance.
But this time would not be the same.
This time she had experience. She had the Nine-Petaled Soul Calming Flame. She had a master who tilted fate around him.
This time she would surpass everything she once was.
Li Mei exhaled softly and closed her eyes. Nostalgia faded. Doubts faded. The world narrowed until only her heartbeat remained.
It's pointless to dwell on the past. This life—this moment—is what matters.
Her determination crystallized.
