Zhao Zijian stood on top of Heting Peak.

The date is January 1, 2016.

The sky was overcast, and the wind at the top of the mountain was not strong, but it was bitterly cold.

The weather forecast says there will be snow today.

Under the dark and gloomy sky, although the grass and trees on this mountain have not withered, they look a little indescribably cold and pure.

Beneath the cliff is a cliff that takes half a minute to hear the sound of landing, and below the cliff is a deep and large valley, and beyond the valley floor, there are green peaks that stretch out to the west, south, and north.

Going down the mountain, more than 30 kilometers to the northeast, is Yunzhou City, where Zhao Zijian's home is located.

To the east, about 50 kilometers, is the coastline.

And here, is the main peak of Heting Mountain, Heting Peak.

In this life, this is the first time Zhao Zijian has come here.

Climbing up the mountain, he gasped for a full ten minutes before straightening up, and then he looked at the verdant beneath his feet.

The mood is a little indescribable.

It was here, seventeen years later, in July 2033 of the Western calendar, in the valley at his feet, Zhao Zijian cut off the head of Nakata Hideaki, who had been hunting here, and became famous for a while, and soon ranked 831st in the "Global Heavenly Spirit List" released in China.

The North American "great man" list believes that Zhao Zijian was very likely to succeed in a sneak attack at that time, which enabled him to kill the enemy with one move, so they tend to think that Zhao Zijian's strength may not be able to surpass RB Tianzheng Pavilion's Nakata Hideaki, so when the list was revised, they ranked Zhao Zijian 954th on the list of "great people" that included the world's most powerful scientists and spiritual cultivators at that time.

Of course, Zhao Zijian doesn't care about how many people are ranked.

At that time, it was the return to his hometown after many years, which made Zhao Zijian feel a lot of emotion.

I feel the great impact of the revival of Reiki on this world.

In fact, later scientists found that as early as the beginning of the 21st century, the aura had begun to slowly gush out, permeating every inch of air between heaven and earth, but the amount was so small that almost no one noticed it at that time.

It will not be until that day comes, that the billions of human beings in this world, this era of extremely developed institutional civilization, will usher in such an earth-shattering change.

After the great change, the world is still the same world, and the world has changed beyond recognition.

Someone woke up, someone died.

Some people have become gods and roam the world, and some people have become ghosts and pick up bloody butcher knives.

Overnight into the age of slaves.

It has also entered the age of mythology.

Many people's physical potential has been greatly stimulated, and the glorious event records left in the history of human sports in the past 100 years, the difficult transcendence between millimeters and minutes and seconds, have suddenly become a joke.

There are also people whose brains are developed, so that the weak soon cease to be weak.

Materials molecules, sports physics, human-machine intelligence, aerodynamics, electromagnetism, and so on, countless scientific research directions that were originally almost stagnant have made epoch-making breakthroughs in just a few years.

The strength of the alloy mecha and the electromagnetic airship made the vast majority of the original martial arts cultivators jealous.

Zhao Zijian, like everyone around him who survived, wandered in that wild and extremely developed aura world—order, and anti-order, hunting, and counter-hunting, chaos, and the new system gradually born in the chaos, highly developed technology, and almost mythical spiritual cultivators.

A bloody and glorious era, powerful and savage.

Of course, now in 2016, all this is still "Dingjun Mountain" behind the curtain.

The gongs and drums have not yet sounded, the lights have not yet been turned on, and the curtain has not yet been opened.

Some of the big names in the future who are famous, some are at a loss, some are struggling, some are struggling with not enough pocket money to go to an Internet café to participate in a guild event, and some are not even born yet.

This is the era of human institutional civilization.

Zhao Zijian is still the high school student Zhao Zijian.

There is still half a year to take the college entrance examination, and he has been under a lot of pressure recently, and even has a bit of a migraine.

Rhinitis is also getting worse.

I like to listen to songs, I like to be alone and quiet, and I'm catching up with a novel called "Perfect Life". Occasionally, when he sees a girl's white thighs, he will also have an almost uncontrollable hormonal impulse, but strangely, he doesn't feel that he particularly likes any girl in the class.

If the timeline is not messed up, then in half a year, his college entrance examination score will be 599 points, and one point is one point short of being able to say that he has scored "600 points", which makes him depressed for a long time, and even feels more heartwarming than the volunteer to be transferred to international trade.

But now, Zhao Zijian, who is only eighteen years old after the Lunar New Year, suddenly woke up in the early morning of New Year's Day, and at that moment, he seemed to see all the past and future at a glance.

stared at him and barely stayed up until dawn, said hello to his parents after eating, pushed into the car and went straight to Heting Peak.

Riding more than 30 kilometers all the way, and climbing up to Heting Peak, the sweater on his body was almost soaked, and he was constantly bubbling white gas along the collar of the school uniform.

But twenty minutes after standing at the top of the mountain, he was already shivering.

However, the heart that had been up and down all night finally calmed down.

The excitement and excitement all faded away.

He knew he was back in 2016.

He knew that everything had not yet begun.

And he is standing in a higher position than all the politicians, celebrities, real estate developers and Internet tycoons in this world, breathing the wisps of thin aura in the air.

You may well be the only one who knows where the world is going in the future.

He knew he had this precious step in his hands.

He knew that this time he would come again, and he could welcome the great changes in the world with a more calm attitude. Moreover, he had the confidence to protect those he wanted to protect, so that they could pass through that time and the great chaos of society that followed.

But that's not what excites him the most.

To be precise, the excitement in his heart from last night to this moment did not come from a glimpse of the future in advance, but from the tranquility of the present at that time.

Only those who have experienced the great social chaos caused by the outbreak of Reiki know how rare the peace and security of the current era of civilization and system in 2016 is!

Only Zhao Zijian, who has worked hard and wandered for many years in such a chaotic era, knows how much he misses the current peaceful era.

And now, I have the opportunity to come back and enjoy such peace and stability from this moment on.

It's like a wanderer who has been wandering outside for many years without branches, and finally returned to his hometown, finally met his parents, and saw the familiar scenery and people.

Is there anything happier in this world?

"This time, we must live a little slower and enjoy this era well! Such a peaceful day, but one day is less!"

Saying this to himself in his heart, he felt that his body temperature was getting lower and lower, and Zhao Zijian knew that if he continued like this, he might catch a bad cold at any time.

But there was still a trace of excitement lingering in his heart, and at this time, he couldn't help but prop up his hands and make a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly at the valley—

"I'm back!"

The echo is ups and downs, and the sound fills the valley.

…………

Not far from the top of the mountain, the two girls were trying to climb up, although the weather was a little cold, but all the way up the mountain, it still made the two sweat a little, panting slightly.

In the silent mountain forest, Leng Buding heard Zhao Zijian's roar, and Lu Xiaoning couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"A fool!"

She said to Qin Yueshuang with a grin, then playfully clasped her hands into a horn shape and shouted back at the top of the mountain, "Then why did you go just now?"

Qin Yueshuang felt a little funny, but she couldn't help but say to her with a cold face: "Be careful of causing trouble!"

Lu Xiaoning shook his ponytail, grinning, and didn't care.

Such a youthful flying, which belongs only to the age of seventeen or eighteen, made Qin Yueshuang feel a little inexplicable melancholy in her heart - staying with a seventeen-year-old girl is really a good thing, and at the same time it is really a bad thing. You will be infected with her youth, and you will feel that she is so young.

But in fact, he is only twenty-five years old, and he is not yet old enough to envy the age of others.

There was no echo from the mountain.

Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Lu Xiaoning whispered to Qin Yueshuang: "Do you want to make a bet, I guess that guy must be embarrassed, we will probably not see him when we go up!"

Qin Yueshuang shook her head, her face calm.

"I never bet on anyone!"

"Cut!

The bet was not successful, and Lu Xiaoning, who was quite bored, rose up and climbed the mountain quickly.

Two minutes later, they reached the top of the mountain on their front and back feet.

At first glance, I saw a boy in a school uniform facing the mountains, his head raised at a 45-degree angle, looking up at the sky, and then he sneezed loudly.

More like a fool.

Lu Xiaoning didn't hold back, and laughed out loud again.

The man blew his nose vigorously at the valley before turning around.
