Volume 1 Chapter 1 Killing Enemies to Upgrade the System
Da Zhou is located in the northwestern border area, a bitterly cold place.
In front of the lonely grave.
A young man knelt there like a tombstone, his expression numb.
He is Bai Qi who traveled through time and space. He has the same name and surname as the ancient god of death, but a different fate!
An old man in sackcloth behind him took a puff of his pipe and sighed, "My son, accept your fate! Your mother offended the gods and was killed by a sword. This is her fate."
"The gods and immortals cannot be insulted!"
"We are only human."
When Bai Qi heard this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "What a god that cannot be insulted!"
"My mother just lowered her head a little bit when that person was flying in the air, and she was cut in half on the street. My mother struggled for a long time before she died."
"What's even more tragic is that my father not only didn't dare to ask for my mother's crime, but he also accused my mother of being disrespectful to the gods and divorced her. He didn't allow her to be buried in the ancestral tomb, and he also expelled me from the family tree, tattooed me with a tattoo and exiled me."
"Should the lives of mortals like us be as cheap as paper?"
Bai Qi's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared unwillingly: "One day, I will kill all these immortal gods in the sky!"
The old man in hemp clothes stamped his feet and looked around hurriedly. When he found no one was around, he breathed a sigh of relief and said anxiously, "Kid, are you crazy? This is disrespectful!"
Behind the old man was a slender and pretty girl, who said distressedly, "Brother Bai Qi, don't be sad. Your mother doesn't want you to be like this either."
"Brother Bai Qi, have a bowl of porridge first. You haven't eaten all day."
As she spoke, the girl carefully filled a coarse porcelain bowl with multi-grain porridge and handed it over.
Bai Qi was slightly moved. From that day on, he was expelled from the family tree and became a rat crossing the street, everyone wanted to kill him.
His former cronies avoided him as if he were the plague and dared not have anything to do with him.
They even added insult to injury, mocking and humiliating him, as if this was the only way to completely draw a line between themselves and him and avoid being implicated.
Unexpectedly, when he was exiled here, there was such a young girl who cared for him.
Bai Qi felt warm in his heart. He took the coarse porcelain bowl and started drinking from it in big gulps.
"That's right, Baiqi, since you have been exiled to our Black Wind Valley, you should peacefully cultivate the fields here. Next year, when the seedlings grow up a little, I will betroth my granddaughter to you."
"If you give birth to a lot of babies, your mother will be able to rest in peace in her grave."
The old man was the grain chief of Heifenggou, and his job was to collect grain and hand it over to the imperial court. Ever since Bai Qi was exiled here, he took a liking to this young man at first sight.
Compared to the rough men in Heifenggou, someone like Bai Qi who can read and write is the best grandson-in-law in his mind.
Upon hearing this, the pretty girl Miao'er lowered her head shyly, as independent as an apricot flower.
But in her heart she agreed.
There was a hint of joy and shyness in her beautiful eyes.
Waiting for Brother Bai Qi's answer.
Bai Qi looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with a firm look in his eyes. He shook his head and refused, "No! I want to join the army. I want to become stronger!"
"You stubborn ass!" The old man in sackcloth wanted to beat Bai Qi to death with his pipe, "How can fighting be as comfortable as having a wife and children and a warm bed?"
Miao'er also had a sad face, and pursed her lips and said, "Brother Bai Qi, don't you like Miao'er?"
Bai Qi shook his head. He had been exiled here for three years, and he was in a daze every day. If it weren't for the girl's careful care, he might have starved to death or died of illness.
He felt nothing but gratitude and love for the girl before him, and he only wanted to marry her in this life.
Then he explained:
"You are very beautiful, but in this chaotic world, if I don't have the ability to protect your beauty, it would be a disaster!"
"Just like my mother, weak and pitiful, she can only be killed by others."
Bai Qi’s words moved the girl even more, and the love in her beautiful eyes became even stronger.
The wrinkles on the face of the old man in hemp clothes also smoothed out, and he exclaimed: "You are indeed a scholar. You are different from us farmers. You think long-term."
"But in war, people will die!"
"Our Great Zhou is just a mortal dynasty, and above it there is the Immortal Divine Dynasty."
"Beyond the borders of the Great Zhou, there are also tigers and wolves lurking. Among the mortal dynasties alone, there are the Great Zhou, Dafeng, Xiongnu, Beiliang, Xichu, Nanman..."
"And those immortal gods like to watch us mortal dynasties fighting. It is said that the more deaths there are, the more energy they can draw from their cultivation."
"My child, if you join the army and fight, you will face a life-threatening situation!"
When Miao'er heard what her grandfather said, her pretty face turned pale. She reached out and grabbed Bai Qi's hand, feeling extremely nervous, as if Bai Qi would leave her in the next moment.
Bai Qi clenched his fists. Since traveling to this world, he understood more clearly the cruelty of this world.
Being weak and ordinary is the original sin.
There is no chance of being invincible. Those high and mighty gods may just kill you because they don't like you.
You know, here, some people are so humble that they don’t even have a surname.
For example, Miao'er, she doesn't have a surname, and she doesn't deserve to have one.
"I have made up my mind. In order to protect the one I love and to avenge my mother, I must have power and strength!"
Bai Qi clenched his fists, a determination flashed in his eyes. He wanted to make the Great Zhou strong, so that the immortal gods of the Immortal Divine Dynasty would not dare to kill or injure the people of the Great Zhou!
He must live up to the name of Bai Qi.
"Ah, you stubborn ass!" The old man in hemp clothes sighed, then pulled the beautiful girl away, "Grandpa will find another marriage for you, so as not to delay you."
"No! I will only marry Brother Bai Qi!" Miao'er had a stubborn look on her face, as if she was willing to die with Bai Qi.
Bai Qi turned around and strode away without hesitation. He wanted to sign up for the army.
"bite!"
At this moment, a system voice sounded.
[The host is filled with murderous intent, triggering the 'Kill Enemies Upgrade System'. If he decides to join the army, he can activate the system and receive a novice gift pack. 】
[Does the host accept the mission?] 】
This is the system!
Bai Qi was delighted. He wanted to see how the immortals and gods could be humiliated after having the system.
