Chapter 47:Rebirth in Murim:The Broken Demon Awakens

The moment Lucifer collapsed into darkness, the last thing he remembered wasn't the battlefield... nor the dragon king's final roar.

It was the fountain of immortality—the cracked sky above the secret realm, Chirin's warning, and that single reckless decision.

When he opened his eyes again—

"Ahh... why the hell does my whole body feel like it got crushed by a kingdom?"

His voice echoed in a wooden room.

Chirin replied calmly, sitting by the window.

"So you're awake."

Lucifer slowly turned his head. "Where... are we?"

"You won't believe it even if I explain," Chirin said. "Look outside."

Lucifer forced himself up.

And the moment he looked through the window—

His pupils narrowed.

Endless mountains. Floating sword peaks. Roaring rivers of spiritual energy.

A completely different world.

"...Murim?"

Chirin nodded. "Yeah. That's what it looks like."

Lucifer's expression froze. "How did we end up in a cultivation world?"

Chirin leaned back. "I have a theory. That fountain of immortality wasn't just a reward. You didn't drink it properly—you gave half of it to me."

Lucifer's eyes widened slightly.

"So instead of granting immortality... it triggered a transmigration split."

Lucifer whispered, "You're telling me that drink was a dimensional trap?"

"Or a gateway," Chirin corrected. "Either way, we're not in your world anymore."

Then—

Pain exploded inside Lucifer's skull.

"AHHH—!"

He grabbed his head as veins of burning memory surged through his mind.

Chirin stood instantly. "Lucifer!"

A mechanical voice echoed in his consciousness.

SYSTEM PROMPT: Restoring host memory archive...

Images shattered through his mind like glass.

Battles. Blood. Cultivation halls. A broken body kneeling under betrayal.

Lucifer screamed again, dropping to one knee.

"STOP—!"

And then—

Silence.

He breathed heavily.

"...I remember."

Chirin narrowed his eyes. "Everything?"

Lucifer's gaze sharpened.

"This world is called Land of immortals. Two powers rule it—Murim Alliance and the Demonic Cult."

He slowly stood.

"And I'm not just a visitor."

A pause.

"I'm the 5th disciple of the Heavenly Demon."

Chirin blinked. "That sounds like a strong start."

Lucifer gave a dry laugh.

"It would be... if I still had power."

He raised his hand.

System panel opened.

What appeared made both of them go silent.

SYSTEM STATUS: RESET COMPLETE

Skills: None

Titles: None

Karma: 0

Attributes: Fire / Lightning

Cultivation: Body Tempering 9th Realm

Condition: Broken Dantian

Chirin slowly spoke.

"...We're screwed."

Lucifer exhaled. "Yeah. That system basically told me to start over from zero."

Chirin added, "And in Murim, zero means prey."

Lucifer clenched his fist. "Worse. My body can't even circulate energy properly."

He looked at his status again.

"Body Tempering 9th Realm... lowest of the upper tier. Anyone stronger than me can kill me casually."

Chirin frowned. "So fix your dantian."

Lucifer scoffed. "Easy to say. I need top-grade elixirs or miracle pills. And this body is broke—no resources, no backing."

"Can't the cult help you?"

Lucifer's smile turned sharp.

"I'm an outer disciple now. A fallen one. They didn't kill me only because I was once the Heavenly Demon's student."

Chirin went quiet.

"...So we really have nothing."

Lucifer leaned against the wall.

"For once... even I might be at the bottom of the food chain."

A long silence settled.

Then—

A faint glow flickered in the system interface.

Both froze.

SYSTEM PROMPT:

Skill Creation System unlocked.

Condition met: Immortality Nectar residue detected.

Chirin whispered, "That... doesn't sound like nothing."

Lucifer's eyes slowly lifted.

"...No."

A faint grin formed.

"That sounds like I'm allowed to break this world too."
