In the dark, rainy night.
Su Yang gripped his sword, facing countless enemies.
They were a group of monsters, very strange-looking monsters! They were neither human nor beast, and all they knew was to devour everything around them. People ran around in panic in the streets and alleys until these monsters noticed him.
Facing each monster, Su Yang desperately swung his sword, yet each strike was fraught with difficulty.
Until a monster seized the opportunity to pounce on him.
At that moment, Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes and jumped out of bed.
"Huff... huff."
Su Yang gasped for breath, still feeling a lingering fear of what had just happened.
But when he regained consciousness, he found that his limbs, chest and eyes were completely intact.
What's going on?
Su Yang looked around at everything.
The low, single-story house had a damp smell from the blankets covering it. Several origami cranes sat by the window, and there was a very worn-out table. Even the pillow behind him was stuffed with straw.
Su Yang found this scene somewhat strange.
Because this feels so much like being on Earth.
Su Yang hurriedly got up and stood up, waving his limbs.
"It seems there's no problem," Su Yang murmured.
Immediately afterwards, he sensed the energy within his body.
The sword intent remains!
However, he had lost all his divine power, and the sword intent he had left was also very weak, even less than the strength of the Sword Master when he was reborn.
Wait a minute... Does having these things mean...?
"bite!"
"Did not check in today? Click to check in!"
Sign in.
"Congratulations! You have obtained a 'Primordial Power' (God), a 'Nine Provinces Seal' (God), and a 'Sheath Sword' (Common) manual."
really.
Su Yang was fairly certain that he hadn't died in the battle with Chi You, but he wasn't quite sure how he had survived.
Could it be that someone has retrieved his divine sense?
Putting all that aside, what surprised him was that the sign-in system, which had almost never appeared before, actually allowed him to sign in today. This was absolutely unprecedented!
And this time they even gave us two god-level treasures!
However, the more this was the case, the more Su Yang felt something was amiss.
Previously, they gave him a Purple Gold Pagoda, its purpose being quite obvious: to seal Chi You. But this time, they've given him two divine treasures. Subconsciously, Su Yang knew that things probably weren't truly over yet!
"Could it be that 'natural law' at work again?" Su Yang pondered.
creakâ
At this moment, the dilapidated door was pushed open, and an elderly woman of about sixty or seventy years old slowly walked in. When she saw that Su Yang had already gotten out of bed, she had a kind expression on her face.
"Little one, I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly. Luckily you met me! If you had met a human trafficker, you wouldn't have been able to escape even if you wanted to." The old woman smiled and handed over a bowl of porridge, saying, "You've been unconscious for two or three days. I don't have much here. Have a bowl of porridge to warm your stomach."
Su Yang sized up the old woman, took the porridge, and had a strange expression on his face.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yang asked, "Grandma, is this Earth?"
The old woman frowned: "Earth? This old woman doesn't quite understand what you're talking about."
Su Yang blinked.
It seems this might not be Earth. Thinking of this, Su Yang sighed and started drinking his porridge.
Then the old woman said, "This is Longkong Town, um... oh, I also know this is China."
What?
Su Yang almost choked on his bowl of porridge.
China?
Doesn't this...doesn't this mean it's Earth?
Seeing Su Yang's surprised expression, the old woman said, "Don't choke the little kid. Judging from your appearance, you should be an apprentice at some martial arts school. But when I saw you, all I saw was that scabbard. I don't know what kind of sword was inside."
Following the old woman's pointing direction, Su Yang saw the sword sheath.
Su Yang felt a warmth in his heart and immediately bowed, saying, "Thank you so much for your great kindness, Granny! I have no way to repay you, but here are a few life-saving items. I hope you will accept them."
After saying that, Su Yang took out several talismans from his storage bag and handed them to the old woman.
The old woman took it and looked at it, her face beaming with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a little Taoist priest! Alright, I was just thinking of putting up some talismans at the door, so I'll borrow these from you, little Taoist priest!"
Su Yang smiled sheepishly.
It seems this really is Earth. The old woman had no idea what these talismans did. If she had known that even one of them could kill, she probably wouldn't have dared to hang them on the door...
After thinking for a moment, Su Yang explained to the old woman how to use the talisman. To prevent evil people from using it for malicious purposes, Su Yang added two more steps, so that there would be no accidental injury to anyone.
After explaining everything, Su Yang prepared to leave.
This is Earth, after all! He's back!
Although he didn't understand why he had come back, nor why he still had some strength, he knew that he might be able to see his sister and his parents!
As Su Yang left the old woman's house, he said goodbye to her.
It wasn't that Su Yang didn't want to stay with the old woman for a few more days, but rather that he was terrified of developing feelings for her. He didn't want what happened in that small town to happen again.
Life and death are predestined; he may not be able to protect everyone. He can only try to involve as few people as possible, and that's enough.
Let go of all that.
Su Yang was filled with excitement! He was back in this familiar place, and with his current abilities, he might be able to cure Su Xue's illness!
But when he arrived in the city, the scene was quite different.
There were indeed tall buildings, and many bicycles came and went, but very few cars. Moreover, the bicycles were all older models. Many of the tall buildings were only six or seven stories high, and their appearance was not as glamorous as he had seen before.
"What... what's going on now?" Su Yang's lips twitched.
Just then, a vendor called out to Su Yang, "Young man! Would you like something to eat?"
Su Yang slowly walked over, and the vendor was very happy, thinking that business was about to come.
However, Su Yang asked, "Excuse me, what year is it now?"
The vendor said with some surprise, "1999, young man, you don't even know numbers?"
He smiled as he spoke, taking it all as a joke.
But when Su Yang heard this, his mind went blank!
1999?
He didn't return to his own era, but rather to the past?
wrong!
That's not right at all!
Su Yang thought of a chilling answer.
This is not the Earth he knows, but an Earth twisted in another parallel world. There may be no connection between the two at all!
His arrival in this world may not have been accidental!
