October 1, 2100: More than a year has passed since the devastating earthquake that struck Earth. In that year, the entire world has undergone earth-shattering changes.
The world order has changed dramatically.
In this self-reshuffling of Earth, only 96 out of more than 200 countries survived without being wiped out. The once enormous global population of over 8 billion was drastically reduced to just over 4 billion.
Those who survived not only had to face the strange phenomena brought about by the revival of spiritual energy, but also had to cope with the earth-shattering changes in the world.
Worse still, they also have to compete with those mutated plants and animals for limited living space.
Due to this sudden natural disaster, many countries experienced a severe break in their civilizations, with their technological levels regressing dramatically, as if they had returned to the primitive slash-and-burn era overnight.
However, at this difficult moment, China and the Xiaoyao Sect stepped forward with fearless courage and unwavering determination, extending a helping hand to other countries and providing them with assistance and support.
At the same time, the miraculous practice of the "Divine Dragon Scripture" began to spread widely, becoming a beacon of hope in the hearts of people from countless countries.
It is like a beacon, illuminating people's path forward and allowing them to see the dawn of the future.
China has become a place that people all over the world yearn for. For various countries, China is full of mystery, like an unsolvable puzzle.
Abroad, people are already very familiar with Chinese legends and myths, and some even regard them as a kind of faith.
Legend has it that the place is teeming with cultivators who possess extraordinary abilities, such as flight and the casting of spells. Moreover, they can communicate with the spiritual energy of nature and draw energy from it to enhance their own cultivation.
Legend has it that every person in China, even a newborn baby, possesses a certain level of cultivation.
Legend has it that even the demonic beasts there dare not easily invade the territory of China. This is because there are many powerful cultivators within China who possess the strength to deter demonic beasts.
Furthermore, the Chinese government maintains very strict control over the demonic beasts, prohibiting them from attacking humans or disrupting social order. Therefore, the demonic beasts can only roam the areas surrounding China and cannot penetrate its territory.
Legend has it that the people of China enjoy a free and equal life, free from any form of oppression or exploitation.
Furthermore, China is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, preserving the technology and civilization of the planet before the Great Earthquake.
The Free and Unfettered Sect, Cloud and Mist Pavilion.
The light inside the Cloud Pavilion was soft and warm, streaming into the room through the windows.
Jiang Huai'an, this little kid who is only two years old, is trying hard to stand on tiptoe and reach for the stone dragon sculpture on the table.
His eyes sparkled, full of curiosity and longing.
The little guy used all his strength and finally managed to touch the stone dragon. He was just a little bit away from getting it.
Just then, something miraculous happened—the stone dragon seemed to come alive and quickly took a step back, causing Jiang Huai'an to miss his target.
Jiang Huai'an was not discouraged. He tried again. This time, he put his hands on the table and pushed off with his legs to climb onto the tabletop.
However, just as he climbed onto the table, he was surprised to find that the stone dragon was retreating, retreating, retreating!
"Smack!"
It eventually crashed to the ground!
"Jiang Huai'an, are you being naughty again?" A clear voice rang out, and a beautiful figure appeared at the door.
Jiang Wanwan, dressed in a pale yellow dress, possessed a graceful figure and a beautiful face, looking as lovely as a fairy descended from heaven. She looked at Jiang Huai'an, who was slumped over the table, and couldn't help but facepalm.
This kid is barely a baby, but he already shows signs of being a troublemaker. In Yangjia Village, he was always chasing dogs and chickens. After coming to Xiaoyao Sect, he relied on his cute little face and sweet talk to make everyone in the sect pamper him.
Jiang Wanwan sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, "This little devil! He's so lovable yet so infuriating."
"Auntie! Xiaolong fell down by himself! An'an didn't throw him on the ground!"
Upon seeing Jiang Wanwan, Jiang Huai'an quickly jumped off the table, ran to her, and hugged her leg to explain.
Jiang Wanwan patted Jiang Huai'an's little head and said gently, "An'an, even if you did it, as long as you apologize to Xiaolong, Auntie won't blame you!"
"No, Auntie! I didn't bully Xiaolong, he fell off the table by himself."
Jiang Huai'an stubbornly raised his head, trying his best to prove his innocence. His little face was full of grievance, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he held them back from falling.
"But why did Xiaolong fall off the table?" Jiang Wanwan asked patiently.
Jiang Huai'an pursed his lips, his eyes firm yet innocent. He seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to express it.
"Did you accidentally knock Xiaolong to the ground when you climbed onto the table?" Jiang Wanwan tried to make Jiang Huai'an understand that admitting mistakes is not terrible; what is important is to have the courage to face them.
However, Jiang Huai'an still resolutely shook his head, tears finally streaming down his face. He hugged Jiang Wanwan's legs tightly and shouted, "I didn't do anything wrong! Xiaolong fell down on his own!"
Jiang Wanwan looked at Jiang Huai'an with heartache, seeing how aggrieved he looked. She gently patted his back and comforted him, "It's alright, it's alright, Auntie believes in you."
Jiang Huai'an wiped away his tears and nodded vigorously.
"Come on! Let's pick up the little dragon together!" Jiang Wanwan held Jiang Huai'an's little hand and took small steps toward the stone dragon sculpture that had fallen to the ground not far away.
"Ah! Ah! The little rascal is here!"
Just then, a childish voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of panic and tension.
Jiang Wanwan was stunned and subconsciously turned her head to look. She saw that the stone dragon that had been lying quietly on the ground was now flying into the air.
The lifelike and vivid appearance made Jiang Wanwan's eyes widen and her mouth gape open, so surprised that she couldn't speak.
Jiang Huai'an, standing to the side, clapped his hands excitedly, pointing his chubby fingers at the little yellow dragon floating in mid-air, and exclaimed excitedly, "Auntie, see, An'an wasn't lying! Look, the little dragon can move by itself!"
A smug smile spread across his face, as if he were proving to Jiang Wanwan that his discovery was not unfounded.
Jiang Wanwan snapped out of her daze, her eyes sparkling with surprise. Looking at the little yellow dragon before her, a surge of inexplicable joy welled up within her.
Has the dragon been resurrected? That's wonderful!
"Who are you? Senior Shenlong?" Jiang Wanwan asked tentatively, her tone revealing a hint of joy and doubt.
