Reborn After the Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Now I'll Make Them Regret It

Lu Ye—once hailed across the realms as the Nine-Lives Celestial Venerable. 
Yet on the very day he ascended… the eight Empresses he had raised, protected, and trusted turned on him.
Nine Heavens Sword Maiden: “Because of you, the world sneers at me as nothing but a Sword Slave!”
Fairy Hong Ling: “If not for you, I would’ve become his divine companion long ago! You deserve to die!”
Vermilion Bird Demon Empress: “You warned me they’d hurt me… but the only one who truly wounded me was you!”
But fate rewinds, granting Lu Ye a second life. 
And this time, he refuses to walk the same doomed path.
He won’t sacrifice everything for them again. 
Let the eight of them fend for themselves.
