The first story volume is 正文卷, and it opens on 第1章 重生. 重生 is chapter 1, in the first 正文卷. Two note rows sit above it. The newest row announces 大帝归来. 1023.39万 characters is the shelf label. The mobile page said 完本. The door is the earlier row.
Start at 第1章 重生
Open 第1章 重生 on Qidian and follow that catalog from the first story row, not from the newest button. The Chinese original, 神道丹尊, is the book page. On 15 October 2026 the mobile page called it 完本, author 孤单地飞, category 玄幻·东方玄幻, updated 2020-04-29, with 1023.39万 characters. The catalog listed 4937 rows. The public pitch was not copied here.
The newest button is not the door
The newest timestamp points at 新书《重生：大帝归来》已发. 1023.39万 characters is a shelf label, not a dare. You are deciding whether 第1章 重生, filed under 玄幻·东方玄幻, is your door. 完本 is a status. The newest note is not this book’s first row.
Who should start here

Leave it if you want a newcomer’s first chance at training, checked scene by scene. That door is the RMJI opening guide. The shelf is the Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao reading series. The index is where to start. If the shelf label xuanhuan is the thing you searched, start at what xuanhuan means here.
