Chapter 1 A Moment Between Life and Death (Revised)



The sky was a deep blue, and the summer sun hung high in the sky, making the entire city of Shanghai feel restless and irritable.

Ye Yi nervously rubbed his palms together, as if this could reduce his agitation.

"Next, number 37."

"Coming, coming!" Ye Yi shouted immediately.

Ye Yi hurriedly entered the room.

A short while later, Ye Yi, dressed in a suit and tie, walked out of the high-rise building, his face looking rather grim.

"This is really frustrating. Looks like I can't get in again." Ye Yi couldn't help but throw the resume in the trash can next to him.

Having experienced the harsh realities of society, Ye Yi is now able to read people's expressions.

The thought of the interviewer's disdainful look immediately made Ye Yi realize that he had no chance.

It is indeed difficult for an ordinary undergraduate student to find a decent job in Shanghai.

"Sigh~ I should have continued with my master's degree back then," Ye Yi couldn't help but think.

Suddenly, a piece of paper floating in the sky caught Ye Yi's attention.

"What is that?"

Faced with an unknown piece of paper, Ye Yi unconsciously reached out his hand.

In an instant, Ye Yi froze on the spot.

However, in a moment, Ye Yi came to his senses. He looked around warily and, finding no one there, hurriedly went to his rented room.

Back in his room, Ye Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Because I actually encountered the legendary cheat code.

After calming down and sensing for a while, Ye Yi, who was overjoyed, couldn't help but turn into a mournful figure.

This cheat code reveals that time in this world will immediately end after 0:00.

Looking at his watch, Ye Hengyi saw that it was already 3:41 PM and immediately felt deflated.

Because he clearly had no ability to survive the destruction of the world.

Immediately, Ye Hengyi took out the money he had saved up during his university years and began to squander it.

After all, Ye Hengyi, as an orphan, had nothing left to cherish.

As night slowly fell, Ye Hengyi lay wearily on the bed, staring blankly at the lamp above him, awaiting the destruction of the world and his own death.

But the next moment, Ye Hengyi shuddered.

In an instant, Ye Yi arrived in a space filled with mystery, with various starlight floating around him, each starlight representing a bustling and wonderful world.

This situation left Ye Yi speechless.

"Isn't it magnificent?" a grand voice rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Yi immediately snapped out of his daze and looked toward the source of the sound.

Ye Yi turned his head and saw a figure, but he couldn't see the face. Only a starlight floated on the figure's chest.

"Isn't it magnificent?" the figure asked again.

When asked again, Ye Yi nodded and said...

"Yes, this place is magnificent."

"It's a pity I'll never see it again," the figure said sadly.

Ye Yi was not surprised by the figure's dejection, because the moment he saw the figure, the paper told him who it was.

"So what do you want to trade with me?" Ye Yi asked, puzzled.

Ye Yi currently has nothing to offer, so he is somewhat puzzled by the trade with the spirits of this world.

“I suppose I could be considered your mother,” said the World Spirit.

"Hmm." Ye Yi nodded silently.

The spirit of this world is the world in which Ye Yi lives, and the piece of paper that Ye Yi obtained is the embodiment of a rule, which is trade.

Upon seeing Ye Yi acknowledge its identity, the Spirit of the World couldn't help but feel delighted.

"I want to give you my civilization and spirit, and you will live on with these civilization and spirit."

At this point, the voice of the World Spirit lowered once again.

"Perhaps in this way, I can still witness the magnificence of the world's oceans."

As they spoke, he reached out and gently touched Kong as they passed through the starry world.

Upon hearing these words, a piece of paper suddenly shot out from Ye Yi's body.

A contract.

The client is Ye Yi, whose mission is to live on with the civilization and spirit of this world.

The second party is the world, and his mission is to hand over the world's civilization and spirit to Ye Yi.

Upon seeing this contract, Ye Yi couldn't help but nod silently.

Ye Yi felt a pang of sadness, for he understood that this was a gift from the world to him.

Then an iron chain connected Ye Yi and the heart of the World Spirit.

In another instant, the chains were retracted, and Ye Yi's brain was filled with a large amount of world civilization and spirit. Faced with such an impact, Ye Yi couldn't help but close his eyes in discomfort.

However, these memories were organized by the trading rules and did not immediately overwhelm Ye Yi's brain.

At this moment, the Spirit of the World gently stroked Ye Yi's furrowed brows and spoke softly.

"Child, this is a gift from the world to you. Remember that the world is very gentle."

As he spoke, the spirit of the world turned into specks of dust, scattering into the entire world sea, and Ye Yi's tightly closed eyes couldn't help but feel dizzy.

After a while, Ye Yi couldn't help but open his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, he became wise, his aura became deep, and his whole person became very cold.

However, one could still see from the deep sorrow in Ye Yi's eyes that he still had feelings.

"From now on, you are the Book of Contracts," Ye Yi said, seemingly to himself.

But the next moment, Ye Yi immediately straightened his expression, because his chance to live had come.

Then another figure appeared in front of Ye Yi.

"Are you a trader?"

"Yes, what kind of help do you need?" Ye Yi said with a cold face.

Upon hearing Ye Yi acknowledge his identity, the figure radiated joy. Then, the figure took out the starlight from his heart and spoke to Ye Yi.

"I want you to sow the seeds of the extraordinary in this world. And I can let you live in my world for fifty years, so that you can survive as well."

Upon hearing the agreement, Ye Yi did not immediately agree but instead fell into deep thought.

The civilization of a world bestowed upon Ye Yi extraordinary wisdom, and in an instant, Ye Yi had a plan. He raised his head and stared at the figure, saying...

"A hundred years of life, and I will give you a complete path to the extraordinary."

The figure remained silent for a moment before nodding and speaking.

"Okay, I'll make you a promise: for the next hundred years, you will be the protagonist of my world."

A contract was then formed between the two, and both Ye Yi and the figure left their life imprints.

Then Ye Yi and the figure disappeared into the World Sea.

The moment Ye Yi opened his eyes, he found himself in a luxurious room.

This room is many times more luxurious than the rented room where Ye Yi lives.

But the next moment, Ye Yi frowned again, because another flood of memories rushed into his mind.
