Over 10,000 years since the Quantian Era, Linlang Star has undergone earth-shaking changes. As time went by, the original Huangcheng Continent was divided and reorganized into four parts, east, west, north and south.
The human race renamed these four continents. The rich and mysterious Eastern Continent inherited the word "Huang" from the Huangcheng Continent and called it Donghuang Continent. The other symmetrical continent took the word "Cheng" as Xicheng. mainland.
There are two new continents left, each occupying the north and south ends of Linlang Star. These four boundless lands nurture all living beings.
This system of living beings is composed of the human race on the Donghuang and Xicheng continents, the gluttonous strange beasts of the Far South Continent, and the special creatures of the Far North.
Before the split of the Huangcheng Continent, the human race had its own training system - Fate Master. At that time, all people practiced martial arts and almost dominated the entire Linlang Star. However, for unknown reasons, starting from the end of the Quantian Era, people were able to condense Fate. The number of human beings with life skills is decreasing rapidly, and now life masters have become a rare profession. However, all humans with life skills will be protected and cultivated by local departments to serve as a major force in various countries.
The life master training system has been simplified into three stages. The first is to open up the life base, through training the body, tempering the will, and opening up life marks. This stage is called the heroic spirit stage, and the next stage is called the outstanding spirit stage. , this level belongs to the powerful life masters, most of whom are at the officer level. The last stage is the heroic stage, which belongs to high-level generals. By opening the eighth life mark, you can forge your own life weapon, which is extraordinary in the world.
And our story will also unfold around this system...

"On the evening of March 27, a meteor streaked across the sky above Xicheng Continent, accompanied by burning fire, and crashed into the city of San Lorenzo. The impact of the explosion caused great panic in the local area. Now the church has intervened Investigation. Our reporters will provide you with the latest situation."
"Beep——"
The screen was turned off, and a blond man casually threw the remote control on the sofa and said to the man in a suit behind him: "It seems there is something wrong up there."
"It seems it won't be long before someone comes looking for me." The man in a suit replied. He was tall and wearing a brand-name tie around his collar, looking like a gentleman.
The blond man shook his head, leaned on the sofa and pouted. "San Lorenzo is a territory that I have worked hard to manage. There must be no problems there. Come with me in the next two days to see the situation."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for the trip."
Hongyan Street, District A7, San Lorenzo City,
A dilapidated room, the faint light flickering in the window is alluring and seems to be real and illusory.
Suddenly, the tattered and leaky wooden door was kicked open, and a rough man stumbled out of the house, spitting thick phlegm on the ground, and cursed: "I can catch up with anything, what a bad luck! "
"Brother, give me the money first." The girl's voice sounded in the night, with a slightly hoarse and panic tone.
The strong man turned around and wiped his stubble-covered chin with his hand. He rolled his dark yellow eyes, grinned and sneered: "Your shabby nest has collapsed, I haven't done it yet." I want mental compensation from you, don’t just look for trouble."
After that, she turned around and was about to leave. The girl also shouted loudly: "Brother, no, my sister is in urgent need of money!"
The slender hand climbed up the man's arm, trying to keep him, but the latter pushed hard, broke away from his hand, and cursed angrily: "Did I give you face, can't understand people's words? I’m out of here!”
The man's brute force pushed the girl to the ground. The tulle on her body was stained by dust and became dull. She covered her scraped knees and shouted with a cry while watching the man disappear into her. In sight.
"Bah! You're just a poor guy, he's wasting my body in vain."
Limping to the back of the rotten shack, the girl couldn't help complaining again: "This Mercury retrograde should have a head, right? Where did this thing come from? I'm still living there tonight."
She has been living in this small dilapidated house for a while. She usually does some business when she has free time to barely make ends meet. But she didn't expect that a big event suddenly happened tonight. She was hit by a meteorite that she hadn't seen in hundreds of years. Things can also happen to you.
She casually pulled out a few pieces of clothing from the ruins and put them on her body. She had to leave here quickly. Once someone from the church found them, those in this business would inevitably have to go in and suffer.
As she walked around the smashed houses, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.
When she regained her composure and got closer to observe clearly, she discovered that there was a child on the ruins, wearing a dark blue robe. The clothes on his body should be torn, like rags, barely Cover yourself.
"Whose doll is this? No one cares about it at night?"
The girl looked at it carefully. The little boy in front of her was estimated to be about seven or eight years old. He had not yet fully grown up. He had a chubby face, thick eyebrows, and long eyelashes covering his eyes, especially his small lips, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. Upturned, I don't know if he encountered something happy in the dream. The pointed nose moved up and down with his breathing. It was the long hair, which must have been left untouched for a long time.
"Hey! Wake up, you don't dare to sleep here!" She went up and pushed the boy's shoulder, trying to wake him up, but she couldn't bear the fact that the child was so asleep that she couldn't wake him up no matter how hard she tried. he.
He stretched out his white hands to pinch the flesh on the boy's face and rubbed it gently.
"That's all, just pretend that my sister is kind-hearted and come with me first."
Hanging the boy on her back, she blushed and tried her best. She didn't expect that this boy was not light. She was still wearing high heels. She stumbled every step, and the bruises on her knees were blown by the cool night breeze. Give her a jolt.
"Hey, we are all miserable people. You were thrown into this place alone, and my sister was also thrown into this place where no ghost comes."
"But don't be afraid. I'm here, so don't be afraid."
She sighed and forced out a smile randomly and hard. The cold air caused her breath to turn into a white mist, which then slowly dissipated.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door, followed by an irritable response: "Who is it? It's late at night."
There was a sound in the house, and after a moment, the iron door creaked open, and a woman with a big body and a round waist carefully exposed half of her body from inside. She looked around warily, then saw the two people lying on the ground, and said in surprise: "Chen Hong, what are you doing? You slept on the ground in the cold weather, and you still wore so little!"
Chen Hong was breathing heavily, her ears were red from the cold. She stood up, pulled up the boy who was leaning against the wall, and threw them into the warm room together.
The next day, early morning.
Chen Hong hugged her knees and looked at the woman in front of her with a pitiful expression.
"Tell me, what's going on? What happened last night? The earthquake originally shocked me, but why did you deal with it like this?" The plump woman leaned against the table and asked with her hands folded.
Then he caught a glimpse of the boy who was still sleeping on the bed, his expression became even colder, and he continued: "What's going on with this guy? You don't even let the child go now?"
Chen Hong's face was covered with black lines, and she quickly explained: "Sister Wei, that wasn't an earthquake, it was a meteorite that hit my house. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to disturb you at night!" After saying that, he looked at the boy on the bed with a look on his face. Feeling aggrieved, he said with a choked voice:
"This little brat was found behind my house. He couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed. Seeing how pitiful he was, he brought him to you together."
When the woman called Sister Wei heard this, she became even more angry. She stretched out her hand and tapped Chen Hong's forehead and said, "You are here when you come, but if you put him here, you don't know that we What kind of business do you do?"
"I can't help it. If he sleeps outside for one night, something will happen." The girl replied, gently reaching out to touch the scabbed wound on her knee, and murmuring with sobs: "I don't want to take him with me either." But as soon as I saw him and looked at his face, I couldn't help but feel cruel."
Sister Wei sighed, shook her head and walked towards the back room. She writhed for a while, and then came back from the back room with an extra patch of medicine on her hand. She pursed her lips and motioned for Chen Hong to catch it.
After a simple tidying up, Sister Wei brought out a plate of dry bread and mixed it with some lemonade. Today's breakfast was completed. Chen Hong was hungry. She was almost dying of hunger, so she picked up a piece of bread and ate it. He got up and said while eating: "Don't you think it's strange? Even now, he still doesn't wake up no matter what."
Sister Wei turned on the radio nearby, sat down, picked up the bread on the plate, and tore it into two pieces. She picked up the smaller piece, put it in her mouth and took a bite. Without raising her head, she replied: "If you weren't worried, If you are exposed, I have asked you to take him to the hospital a long time ago. If you take him with you, maybe something will happen."
Chen Hong swallowed the bread in her mouth, licked her lips, and retorted: "What can happen? Isn't it just that I temporarily adopted a child? At most, during this period, everything I earn from you will belong to you." , it’s considered as the expenses for us, brother and sister, to eat and drink at your place.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a violent shudder on her head. When she raised her head and looked up, Sister Wei had already raised her eyebrows and scolded her in a stern tone:
"You little girl, how dare you talk to your sister like this? It seems that you haven't been open this night, and you're itchy again, right?"
After that, he pushed Chen Hong down on the bed, looked down at her condescendingly, and said, "Sister, I'm worried about you. It's been a troubled time recently. You heard what was said on the radio just now. Your place has been investigated. .”
Chen Hong pretended to struggle, and Sister Wei's body rubbed against her belly intentionally or unintentionally. A tickling feeling made her lose control of her expression. She smiled and begged for mercy:
"I was wrong, sister, please forgive me, I don't dare!"
While the two sisters were having fun, the boy beside them finally woke up. His long eyelashes moved slightly for a few times, and then he slowly opened his eyes, revealing his bright eyes. At this moment, A flash of flame flashed across the brown pupils, and it disappeared in an instant.
A milky voice sounded behind the sisters: "Is this...where?"
Chen Hong didn't know where the strength came from, so she directly pushed Sister Wei away and turned over in front of the boy. Regardless of the clothes slipping off, she was so happy that she asked anxiously: "You're awake. You scared me to death. Do you feel anything there?" Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
After walking with me all night, there was a cool breeze, and I don't know if the child's body can bear it.
"I'm fine. Sister, you are so beautiful." The boy sat up and lay down in front of Chen Hong, looking at her with starry eyes and smiling.
Chen Hong's heart suddenly melted, this is simply an angel!
Wei Wen, who fell to the ground, had black lines all over his face. This girl was really big-hearted, and she was torturing herself with every move she made.
She stood up, patted her trouser legs, then looked at the boy and said, "He speaks the language of the country we went to."
Shangguo is the hometown of her and Chen Hong, and it is the place where they dream. If the two sisters were not deceived by that man, how could they come to this place? The so-called holy country is just a gathering place for dirty deals.
Chen Hong also realized that the child spoke the Shangguo language more proficiently than she did, and he should be a native of Shangguo.
Thinking of this, Chen Hong and Wei Wen suddenly had an idea in their minds. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Little brother, come and tell sister what your name is." Wei Wen was a little older after all. Looking at such a cute little baby in front of him, the dissatisfaction just now disappeared and turned into the infinite tenderness in his heart.
"I can't remember, but I..." The boy hesitated, because in his vague memory, there were very important contents that he couldn't remember, including his name and where he came from.
The fear of the unknown from the bottom of his heart gradually spread in his mind. He didn't know who to ask for help. The feeling of being unable to think of anything made his face become very painful. He covered his head and cried. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried not to cry out, and her face turned red because of this.
Seeing the boy in such pain, Chen Hong's heart was as sharp as a knife. For some reason, she subconsciously opened her hands and took the child into her arms.
A hand as white as jade rested on his shoulder, stroking it gently.
"Be good, don't cry, don't cry, sister is here, we are not afraid."
Sure enough, with Chen Hong's comfort, the boy's mood gradually calmed down and he was no longer so painful.
When Wei Wen went to get a tissue and came back with a scroll in his hand, he threw the tissue to Chen Hong, shook the scroll in his hand and said:
"Here, take a look at what this kid is wearing on his belt. Maybe you can find some clues."
After squinting his eyes and studying it for a while, he opened the red rope on it. The scroll unrolled because it lost its restraint, revealing the contents inside.
At the moment when the scroll was unfolded, the boy's eyes suddenly froze, and he hurriedly got out of Chen Hong's arms and said loudly: "Close it quickly! Don't open it!"
But it was too late, the content of the scroll had been completely displayed in front of the three people:
The magnificent mountains and rivers are as ethereal as a fairyland. The majestic green mountains are not a scene from the human world. This scene can only come from the sky.
"Isn't the beauty of this picture a bit exaggerated?" Wei Wen was already stunned, her hands motionless, as if her soul was reflected in the mountains and rivers.
Chen Hong narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the small characters in the upper right corner of the scroll and read:
“The vast sea is full of waves, and the vastness between heaven and earth is vast.
The pearly light is like a mirage, illuminating Xichuan forever.
Composing a poem to recall the fairyland, returning to the ruins and estranged from the beginning of time.
A new chance encounter in a small test, and the swan geese fly together."
She finished reading, and at the same time the boy took the scroll from Wei Wen's hand and rolled it up again.
Chen Hongzai kept repeating the verses on the scroll, while Wei Wen's pupils flickered and he even forgot to breathe. It was obvious that the two of them had not woken up from the shock just now. This scroll was full of magic power and could firmly control people's minds, making it impossible for them to break free.
"The vast sea is full of waves, and between heaven and earth, waves... waves." The boy looked at the scroll in his hand, and a few memories deep in his mind seemed to be loosened by it, reminding him of something.
Just when Chen Hong and the two sisters were still in a trance, he suddenly said:
"I remembered! My name is Canglan..."
"What's the shouting inside? Wei Wen, I know you are inside, open the door quickly!"
Just when Canglan regained her memory and was filled with joy, a discordant voice came from outside the door.
He stared at Wei Wen and Chen Hong behind him, then turned back and walked towards the door.
