The year 2025 is at the beginning of the year.

The midwinter is gradually departing with his cold steps, the breath of early spring is not too late to intoxicate, but the cold wind is lively on the streets, and people who have been busy for a year are still immersed in the atmosphere of New Year's joy.

It's hard to connect the dots between the catastrophe years later, but that's another story.

Shitang Town, an extremely ordinary town in the southeast coast of China. Because of its unique geographical location, the people of the town have been making a living by the sea for generations. Under the influence of the new national policy, the first group of people who tried to contract fishing boats with a responsibility system first made a fortune, and so batch after batch of people began to follow one another, some engaged in transportation, some started fish ponds, and some began to invest in ice factories in partnerships.

Everything here is thriving under the great wheel of the times. Under the guidance of the new national policy that has lasted for nearly half a century, Huaxia is like a lion after healing from its injuries, and its every move after awakening has attracted the attention of the whole world.

"This thing called Sugar Man is really cute, and I can't bear to eat it when I look at it." In front of a street stall, a foreign woman was amazed at the sugar man in her hand, with black hair, brown eyes, wheat complexion, and the outline was not as clear as that of Europeans and Americans. The woman looked a little like a South Asian, but she spoke Chinese fluently.

"Handy, you help me hold it, I'm going to eat the Chinese pizza over there." The woman turned and handed the candy man in her hand to the man behind her, and happily ran to another mobile stall

"Rosika, the Chinese call it a meat bun." Handy looked at Rosika, who was running away like a fawn, and was about to chase after him, but the stall owner of the candy seller grabbed him.

Handi's subconscious right hand shook, and the stall owner of the candy seller seemed to have been pushed hard, and flew backwards two or three meters away.

Looking at the stall owner who fell to the ground, Handy said with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, I was careless. ”

What answered Handy was the stall owner's sighs, and this shout made the onlookers even more. Handy looked extremely embarrassed, and continued to the stall owner: "I didn't mean to, it's you, the person you suddenly grabbed me just now. I was nervous ......"

Before Handy could finish speaking, the stall owner shouted to the people around him: "He just bought my candy man and wanted to leave without giving money, I just wanted money, and he pushed me." Oops, my waist. Ahh......hhh My stall has also collapsed, oops, this big New Year, why is it so unlucky! ”

Handy was stunned, he was in a hurry to chase Rosika and actually forgot that she hadn't paid yet, and now she actually made such a big oolong. What's even worse is that Rosika, who was not far away, was obviously attracted by the movement here, but when she realized what was happening, she quietly slipped away from the crowd.

Handy only felt a black line on his face at the moment, calmed down, and said to the stall owner in a kind tone: "Old man, if I don't take you to the hospital first, I will pay for your medical expenses." Then I'll pay you for the broken stall, and I'll give you another red envelope. Do you like it? ”

Hearing what Handy said, the stall owner of the candy seller also had a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that you, a foreign doll, are also a human spirit." ”.

Naturally, this extremely ordinary street scene in China will only become a temporary conversation for onlookers, while in distant Northern Europe, an old man has not slept all night.

On a cold winter night, the old man, dressed in a pure white robe, stood on the astrological platform of the huge castle, surrounded by a large number of ancient scrolls, some of them of sheepskin and some of them of turf, some of which were barely complete, and some of which were only scattered fragments.

In order to better observe the direction of the stars, the old man used the strength of his family to build a magnificent castle in this extremely cold place, and since the ancient castle was built, the old man has stayed here for more than 20 years.

The aurora shrouded the castle around it, and the wind was raging, but there was not the slightest snow around the observatory. The old man held a pitch-black object in his hand, like a bronze mirror and a wooden plate, which looked very blurry in the dark night. The black flakes that you will only notice when you get close to them are a huge tortoise shell.

The surface of the turtle shell is mottled and damaged, and the strange thing is that there are some strange runes carved on the turtle shell, and the silver light flows in the various runes under the aurora and starlight, and the runes that are originally unrecognizable because of their age are now clearly floating on the huge turtle shell.

"Our Eternal Father, you sleep in the depths of the darkness for us...... "The old man raised his head to the sky, closed his eyes and whispered, his white robe "hunting" in the wind......

The trumpet of conquest has sounded the earth, the sword of death has pierced the firmament, and your children look forward to your face day and night, and may the stars in the distance guide you home......

After about half an hour, the prayer gradually ended, and after the last syllable was recited, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, which were like a galaxy, containing endless wisdom and faith......

"Father—" A handsome man outside the castle finally couldn't help but shout when he saw this.

Since my father moved to this barren land, he began to pray horologically every week, and then slowly began to change to once every half month, once a month, and once every three months......

The man knew that it was because his father's spirit had begun to weaken with age, so he had to do less astrology.

However, since a chance fortune a year ago, my father has increased the frequency of his horoscopes, and even stood on the astrology platform almost every night since this month until his spirit has dissipated.

As a child in the scene just now, he naturally knew that it was the old man who used the Heavenly Eye, and the Heavenly Eye Forbidden Technique did not dare to use it easily even when his father was young, and the result of activating the Heavenly Eye would cause damage to his own spirit, and he might stop in the cultivation of the spirit, or even die immediately.

Seeing his father's body slowly fall backwards on the astrological platform, the man completely ignored his father's previous warning, the light around him was blooming, and the spirit in his body surged out, and he flew through the gate of the ancient castle in one step, and after a few leaps, he soared into the air and came to the astrological platform two hundred meters above the ground.

The old man fell on the astrological platform, the turtle shell on his chest was shattered, his long gray hair quickly dried up, and the skin on his body also highlighted the dark spots of the elderly.

"Father!" The man picked up the old man and tried to give him his spirit.

"My son, do not weep, all things have a time, there is a time for life, and there is a time for death......," the old man wiped away the tears from the man's cheeks with a trembling hand, and continued, "Listen to my son, I will give you a message of great joy, which is a secret ...... concerning the prosperity of my people."
