"Hey, tell me, is Instructor Lin serious?"

As the night deepened, the atmosphere among the new recruits who were washing up in the dormitory was depressing and silent. They did not have the energy and vitality they had when they first entered the training camp in the morning. It was as if they had something on their mind.

"What do you think?" The recruit next to him rolled his eyes and pointed to the roof of the dormitory building opposite.

Under the moonlight, endless spider silk covered the floors. A huge, ferocious human-faced spider was quietly crawling in the air. Its scarlet compound eyes were always staring at the recruits under its feet, looking eerie and terrifying.

The recruit who asked the question couldn't help swallowing.

"But didn't he say that the formal training would start tomorrow?"

"Yes, otherwise the spider wouldn't just look at us, but would pounce down and chase us."

"Isn't this too outrageous? Is it really so cruel?"

"I don't believe it. It's probably the same as the previous assessment. They're creating this tense atmosphere in order to squeeze out our potential.

"I also think that it is impossible for the Night's Watch to train new recruits in this way."

“…”

Amid the chattering crowd, Fang Mo calmly put down the toothbrush in his hand, put the towel on his shoulders, and walked towards the dormitory without saying a word.

At this moment, he paused, as if he sensed something, and turned his head abruptly to look downstairs.

A deep red figure flashed by silently.

Fang Mo's eyes gradually lit up!

…

"Master Qiye!"

A few minutes later, Fang Mo, dressed in a recruit's uniform, ran quickly to the shadow at the edge of the dormitory building and spoke excitedly.

Lin Qiye turned around helplessly and made a gesture to him to keep quiet.

"Keep your voice down. No one else sees you coming?"

"No, Master Nanaya."

"Well, follow me."

Lin Qiye took Fang Mo and walked quietly across most of the training camp, came to the top of the teaching building, and sat down on the edge of the roof.

"Please sit down. There are things I want to talk to you about." Lin Qiye patted his side and said with a smile.

Fang Mo nodded and sat down next to Lin Qiye somewhat awkwardly.

"Lord Qiye, if you have anything you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know." Fang Mo said sincerely.

"No need to be so formal." Lin Qiye was embarrassed by Fang Mo. "I just want to ask, how did you leave Cangnan and become Yang Jian's disciple? Have you entered the Heavenly Palace?"

There are too many mysteries about Fang Mo, and all of them are related to the secrets of Daxia, so Lin Qiye is naturally curious.

Of course, what he wanted to ask most was actually the current situation in Heaven.

After all, the state of Heaven will directly determine Daxia's position and final outcome in this war.

Fang Mo hummed and pondered for a moment, as if thinking about where to start.

“Five years ago, Master Qiye, you left Cangnan and the miracle disappeared. All of us children born in Cangnan within the past ten years were gathered in the same place, ready to be dispersed to different orphanages for adoption… We didn’t know those people at the time. Only recently did I know that those people wearing dark red cloaks who helped us find our home were the Night Watchmen.

The night before we left Cangnan, a gust of wind suddenly blew where we kids lived, and then a weak man and a Taoist priest with an immortal look walked out of the wind.

That man is my future master, Yang Jian. "When Lin Qiye heard the word "Taoist", his mind unconsciously emerged with the mysterious Taoist priest who had appeared in his fantasy and met in Fengdu, that is, one of the Three Pure Ones in Daxia mythology, Yuanshi Tianzun.

The man next to him is the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao, Yang Jian... But why is Yang Jian weak?

Who hurt him?

Fang Mo paused and continued, "That night, the master and the Taoist priest selected twelve children with the strongest miraculous power in their bodies from among us children left in Cangnan, and took them away from Cangnan. I was the first one to be selected among the twelve children."

"Twelve children?" Lin Qiye was stunned. "That means there are eleven more like you?"

"That's right." Fang Mo nodded, "After we left Cangnan, we flew to an unfamiliar mountain range. Between the mountains, I could vaguely see a huge golden afterimage, and there were blurry shadows flying around in the golden afterimage.

The master opened a cave for us to live in on a mountain near the golden afterimage."

"What does that golden afterimage look like?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.

Fang Mo thought for a moment, "Like a...broken palace? We were too far away at the time, and there was some mist surrounding the afterimage, so we couldn't see what was inside clearly."

Lin Qiye seemed to be thinking about something.

If nothing unexpected happens, then it must be the Heavenly Palace that the Great Xia God had been trying to repair before... But the question is, why did Yang Jian and Yuanshi Tianzun bring these twelve children to the vicinity of Heavenly Palace and even specially built a cave for them to stay?

"So, all of you have become Yang Jian's disciples?"

"No, it's not." Fang Mo shook his head, "The night we arrived, twelve Great Xia gods flew out from the golden afterimage and came to the cave where we were sitting. Each of them selected a child and took him as his successor.

I was the child chosen by the master at that time."

After hearing this, Lin Qiye roughly understood.

These twelve children were chosen by Yuanshi Tianzun from the remnants of Cangnan to be chosen as successors by the awakened God Daxia. Of course, in the words of the Night Watchmen, these twelve children are all agents of God Daxia.

Judging from the timeline, at that time the gods of Daxia had not yet completely closed themselves off to focus on repairing the origin of heaven, and taking in these twelve children as their agents should have been the last thing they did before closing themselves off.

They knew very well that once they started repairing the Origin of Heaven, the process must not be interrupted. So to be on the safe side, they accepted these children as disciples in advance. If everything went well, then when they had repaired the Origin of Heaven, these children could also act as agents to protect Daxia. If something unexpected happened in the process, these children would become their successors.

Twelve survivors of Cangnan, twelve children, and twelve agents of the Great Xia God.

This was a seed that was planted five years ago.

At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something.

"You were all born during those ten years, which means that the oldest of you should only be fifteen years old now?" Lin Qiye looked at the boy in front of him in surprise, "You..."

"I'm seventeen." Fang Mo smiled. "After Master woke up, he took us into a mysterious space. The flow of time is different from that in the outside world. We practiced there for three years, but only one year passed in the outside world...

And I am the first one out of twelve brothers and sisters."
