Yangyuan Village is a quiet little village, just a three-hour bike ride from the bustling capital city.
Similar to other villages around Beijing, Yangyuan Village is surrounded by towering white birch trees. Around the trees stand several thatched-roof houses, a long wooden hall covered in moss, and a stone well...
Tomon's brother, Stone Serpent, was a taciturn but wealthy merchant. His arrival brought great joy to the residents of Yangyuan Village, because with him around, they no longer needed to worry about food and lodging.
Stone Snake was very generous, and the silver he gave was so "fair" that the villagers warmly welcomed the three guests who had come from afar.
As night fell, the village was enveloped in a soft moonlight.
Lin Mo and the others were finally able to sleep under the eaves again.
That night, Lin Mo felt extremely tired; it felt like he had walked half a lifetime's worth of roads. His boots were falling off piece by piece, all the blisters on his feet had burst and turned into calluses, and new blisters were forming under the calluses.
But Lin Mo knew that no matter how difficult it was, he had to persevere.
"Can you tell me about the far north?" Tomon asked the stone serpent who was warming himself by the fire.
"What far north?" Aria brought over a tray with warm country wine, stewed pork, and freshly baked buns. "The name alone tells you there's a story. Tell me, tell me, I'm very interested!"
“I want to tell you about that memory… it’s all very fragmented.” Stone Serpent picked up a steamed bun and said, “I remember being knocked unconscious by a lackey of an evil god. I don’t know if it was in a dream or in reality. I can’t figure it out…”
Later, it seemed that a super strong person came to the holy city.
Haha, I think it must be a dream.
Because that person looks a lot like Lin Mo...
Later on, we were all defeated by that powerful figure, and our souls were forced to leave our bodies.
Strangely, that powerful being did not devour our souls.
Finally, finding no place for my soul to belong, I had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and possess the body of a mortal who had been turned into a block of ice.
Looks like me?
That must be Zhao Wushi…
Lin Mo remembered this name.
"Was the holy city destroyed?" Tomon pressed.
“I don’t know,” the stone serpent said. “That powerful figure didn’t seem to intend to destroy the Holy City. He said he was going to the Holy City to find something!”
"Something?" Lin Mo frowned.
"And then?" Tormont asked again.
"Having possessed this mortal body, I knew I was no match for that powerful being. Not knowing where to go for the time being, I decided to come to the mortal realm first!"
"How did you cross the far north? What... did you eat?"
"Ha, do I really have to tell you?" Stone Serpent said, embarrassed. "Moon Shadow Tiger and stuff! The meat of that thing is really sour, but it's damn good with rice!"
"Hahaha, you actually ate a Moonshadow Tiger!" Tomon laughed loudly.
"When you're starving, what can't you eat!" the stone serpent said. "After that, I wandered the mortal realm. Then, I heard about a mad prisoner who kept calling himself a god!"
I knew it the moment I heard it—that person must be you, Tomon!
"A madman? What bastard called me that? I'll tear his mouth apart!" Tomon was furious. "Ha, Lin Mo, speaking of which, it was our servant who saved you again." He changed the subject, "Now, are you going to betray us again?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo felt a mix of emotions.
According to the information he had, these servants of the gods were, to put it bluntly, “poor people” who had been brainwashed by Su Chen and other transmigrators!
Although they gained so-called immortality, the price was enormous...
"From now on, I will not be your enemy!" Lin Mo told him.
"Hmph, is that all?" Tomon snorted heavily.
"Yeah, that's it?" Iria asked, still wanting more. "Hey, you two are servants of the gods? So what do the gods of this world look like? Are they androgynous monsters? Or angels with wings on their backs? Demons with horns on their heads?"
Lin Mo and the other two continued eating, ignoring her.
"According to the Stone Serpent, Zhao Wushi must have defeated Su Chen before, then controlled my body and went to the Holy City," Lin Mo thought. "What was he looking for there? Could it be his sealed body?"
So, what about the other time-traveling pioneers?
And why are there so many transmigrators in the mortal realm?
With so many questions in mind, Lin Mo stayed up all night.
