Battle Through the Heavens: Reincarnated as Xiao Yan, I Intercepted My Own Opportunities?

A modern-day web novel fan from Blue Star finds himself transmigrating into the Douqi Continent as Xiao Yan, the destiny-favored protagonist. Aware of the impending threats from the Soul Hall, he relies on his formidable spiritual power to cultivate his first stage of Dou Qi at the age of four, become a 1-Star Dou Zhe at nine, and reach an 8-Star Dou Zhe by eleven, establishing himself as a once-in-a-century prodigy of the Xiao Clan. Never growing complacent, Xiao Yan understands that while such talent makes him a peerless genius in Wutan City, it is utterly ordinary in the Central Plains and among the elite Ancient Eight Clans. Consequently, he remains silent for three years, allowing Yao Lao to consume his Dou Qi, anticipating a massive breakthrough by his fifteenth year. To his bewilderment, a system suddenly binds to him, though it appears to be malfunctioning. The "Opportunity Interception System" instructs him to intercept Xiao Yan's fortunes as soon as possible. Confused, Xiao Yan wonders how he is supposed to intercept his own destiny when he *is* Xiao Yan. The system immediately registers that he has already intercepted his greatest windfalls—including Yao Lao, the Flame Mantra, and Xiao Xun'er—and grants a massive critical reward: the Myriad Flame Divine Body, the Heaven-Incinerating Divine Art, and the supreme divine flame known as the Undying Divine Fire. Flabbergasted, Xiao Yan realizes the system is entirely functional. Years later, Yun Shan pledges unwavering loyalty as a devoted follower, while Protector Wu furiously accuses him of betrayal. Yun Shan dismisses the accusation as poor phrasing, calling it mere pragmatism in the face of absolute power. When Hun Miesheng sends forces to eliminate a mere remnant of the Xiao Clan, he is horrified to discover what kind of monster they have nurtured instead. Finally, looking up at Xiao Yan's towering, ten-thousand-foot Flame Emperor avatar, Hun Tiandi is completely dumbfounded, wondering how a mere two decades of cultivation could utterly surpass a thousand years of meticulous scheming.
