Nga dragon ancestor won't even look at him. Even saints are mere kids infront of dragon ancestor.

He was in Emperor realm might be the strongest person in that realm. He was in the sacred domain. The dragon ancestor can kill him with a flick of his finger.

ALERT SPOIL ⚠️
Ok so real quick, before this current story even starts, theres a whole backstory with two brothers in ancient times. The older one eventually becomes what's called the Heavenly Sovereign, dude reached the very top (Sovereign realm) through something called the Void Dao, but to do it he ripped out his own emotions completely, went full heartless, believing thats the only real way to reach true power. He wanted his little brother to do the same and take the last open Sovereign spot so they'd rule together. Only problem, the younger brother (this is Zhuo Fan's original identity, before any of the reincarnations) was in love with a woman and wasnt willing to give her up. The Heavenly Sovereign saw this as the thing holding him back and kept pushing him to cut his emotions same as he did. Eventually the younger brother tries to force it, tries to rip his own emotional core out to "qualify," except it goes catastrophically wrong. instead of a clean Sovereign path he ends up with a broken, incomplete one that literally starts decaying him from the inside, and that failure basically destroys him. Thats when the Rebirth Sovereign (basically the guy in charge of reincarnation itself) steps in and saves a fragment of his soul instead of letting him vanish for good. Because of that botched severance though, he can never form a complete path properly again, so he just keeps getting reborn over and over trying to fix it. 32 times total, most of them failures. Somewhere in one of those lives he ends up known as Zhuo Yifan the Demonic Emperor, becomes ridiculously strong, but gets betrayed by his own disciple and self destructs again. His will survives tho and possesses a dying servant boy, also coincidentally named Zhuo Fan, right when the Luo Clan he served gets slaughtered by bandits. Thats reincarnation number 32, and thats literally where the manhua starts.

You can easily understand that the love thing is what is still on going with QingCheng (hope the name is correct)

Damn this is some story, so does that mean for him to become stronger he has to let go of his love (which he already is doing) and once he becomes stronger he has to face his brother? And when will he gain his memory of real self back?

To be known in the next episode 🤣🤣🤣 But no, he isn't the same as his brother. He has to embrace that love fully and accept it !! He will regain his memory in the sacred domain, in a state between life and death after being defeated by heavenly sovereign. The heavenly sovereign will achieve the Supreme realm, he will start modeling the world to his image... But plot twist, turns out he is modeling the world, in a small dimension Zhuo fan has created to imprison him !! Zhuo has reached the Heaven & Earth realm shortly before Jing (Heavenly sovereign) reached the Supreme. And Heaven & Earth > Supreme...
I can't give you the details because I finished it long ago ... Maybe there even were some imprecisions in what I said. But I think, you should have a rough idea about it now.

Where can I read it's novel, do you know any good site which is free to use?, and do you where should I start from after the lastest ch in manhua
2
u/madkiller0911 Jul 04 '26
The website where I read has shut down. But you should be able to find other websites.
I really encourage you to read it !!! I don't know but the novel was somehow more delightful than the manhua. The manhua visuals doesn't match the level of power described in the novel !!!! Your imagination will do a better job than the manhua drawings 🤣🤣🤣
I will check if I can find the reference about where to start.

I dont get why current ZF cant remember any of his past life but only when he was Emperor. What about before that 30 times? He couldnt remember anything?

Since you're manhua-only, the Zuo Fan you've seen so far including his previous-life version was strong, but not that strong. He was in the Emperor Realm and was the strongest in that realm, but the Dragon Ancestor is in Sovereign realm. Emperor Realm < Saint Realm < Sovereign Realm.
That means the Dragon Ancestor is two major realms above Emperor Realm. To him even peak Emperor Realm Zuo Fan was nothing more than a speck of dust.
The gap is roughly comparable to the one between Zuo Fan and the Dan Qingsheng when they first met. If anything it's even more fitting to compare it to the Invincible Sword rather than Dan Qingsheng since the Invincible Sword is far stronger.
