Before the invasion of darkness, there were two empires in the Covenant Continent, divided into two worlds, competing with each other.

The Eu-Gya Empire occupied the northern part of the continent, and the temperature was below minus 40 degrees Celsius all year round. Every day, the cold wind swept around with icy snow. Due to the cold weather, the snow cannot melt. As a result, it accumulated year after year, forming glaciers and snow-capped mountains, which became a major feature of the Eurasian Empire.

Relative to the ice and snow of the Euga Empire. The Gamma Empire can be regarded as a green "ocean". Located in the south, the Gamma Empire, which is spring-like all year round, is a favorite place for most plants. Because of the abundant sunshine and warm climate, the plants of the Gamma Empire grew extremely fast and exceeded the standard of "health". So the forests of the Gamma Empire are a lot.

After the invasion of darkness, the two empires joined forces, and strong men emerged one after another to defend against foreign enemies. Even the ancestors who have been in retreat for many years and are rare to see have taken action to defend this continent.

This war lasted for 50 years, sacrificing batch after batch of strong men, and the origin of this disaster, the Eurasian Empire, also exchanged the entire continent for more than 500 years of silence at the cost of total annihilation.

The powerhouses of the Qiling Continent have also consumed most of their energy because of this war. As if they had said it, they kept silent about the cause of this dark invasion, and even issued the highest gag order to the entire continent, and at the same time went into hiding. Only a few strong people sit in all corners of this continent and maintain the legal order of this continent.

With the end of the invasion of darkness, the passage of time, the replacement of new and old students, people gradually began to forget the grief and fear brought by the invasion of darkness. ushered in a long-lost smiling face and that vigorous vitality.

The Gamma Empire, which has experienced the invasion of darkness, seems to have transformed from a newborn baby into a powerful adult. The grove, which was originally only 100 people high, has grown into a forest as tall as a thousand adults in the past 500 years. Looking down on this forest, you will find that there is a tendency to increase the height, as if you want to compete with the sky. Take a bird's-eye view of the Empire's one hundred and eight cities, and you'll see that each of them is encased in a huge cyan shield.

In the Gamma Empire, each city is ranked. The ranking is determined by the average income of the people in the city, the ranking of the college in the national competition every five years, the number of strong people, and so on. The higher the ranking, the richer the cultivation resources you enjoy.

And just on the outskirts of Luoshui City, which ranks 100th in terms of comprehensive strength, a child about ten years old is hurrying on the road.

The child wears an oval straw hat to shield himself from the glare of the midday sun and the bloody scars on his forehead. Dressed in a coarse cloth shirt with a thick layer of mud on the upper and hem of the shoe. A discerning person knew that she had come to Luoshui City from a remote mountain village outside the city to participate in the annual enrollment of Behm Academy.

Half an hour later, the child stood outside the gate of Luoshui City, looking up at the cyan light mask. The mask vaguely imprinted the child's thin face, although the eyebrows were tightened, but it was still visible that these were two slender and picturesque willow eyebrows.

The eyes were like stars, but for some reason, they seemed to be in a dead Tan at the moment, and they were not angry. Under the small bridge of the nose, a small tiger tooth bites the thin lip tightly. The child's eyes stared at the image reflected by the light mask without blinking, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, his eyebrows were still tightened, but his eyes gradually recovered his aura, and then he sighed, muttering in his mouth: Yan Youguo, Yan Youguo, you are really a lone star.

In his previous life, Yan Youguo was an orphan, with a snake-like birthmark on his face, which stretched from the lower part of his left eyebrow at a 45-degree angle across the bridge of his nose to the lower right cheek, as if dividing the entire face. Because of this ugly birthmark, he was disgusted by the director of the hospital, and the children were isolated and never adopted.

It is precisely because of these that Yan Youguo put all his energy into studying, and was admitted to a first-class famous university, wanting to prove himself with his own efforts.

After graduating, although I found a good job, I repeatedly lost the opportunity to be in the top position at work because of my appearance and the cold personality I developed since I was a child. I thought that when I grew up, I would have a different life with the identity of a famous university, strong learning ability, and executive ability. I never thought that the world when I grew up would be more cruel than the world of children.

So she began to give up proving herself, and slowly felt that it was not bad to live such a quiet life, watching life to interpret the greed, hatred, and stupidity in the world.

She has no complaints, no love. Don't fight, don't grab. Quietly watch the world fight for me, hypocrisy.

Just when she thought she would live like this for the rest of her life, one night, a car accident ended her 34-year life.

Before losing consciousness, I only felt the scorching sensation from the dazzling headlights and the location of the serpentine birthmark on my face.

Unconscious, he was woken up by a woman who only wore her hair in a bun in ancient dramas, wearing a plain white coarse cloth shirt, staring straight at herself with anxiety in her eyes. When he saw himself wake up, he immediately hugged himself and cried. At that moment, I felt that my heart was filled with happiness.

After many years, finally someone will care about themselves, not dislike their ugliness, and give themselves warmth, although they are just a stranger.

At first, I thought that this car accident was very good, and I should have gained a true friend. But before I could feel that happiness for a minute, I was frightened by the surroundings and my own strangeness.

The entrance was a precarious wooden door, swaying and creaking in the wind. The missing piece of the roof, the dilapidated wooden table, the rickety wooden bed. Although the surrounding environment is worse than the noisy city, it will not surprise Yan Youguo, who has more than 30 years of experience.

What made Youguo panic was that his hands and body, which were obviously many times smaller than before, were undoubtedly not telling himself that this was a child with a body of only four or five years old.

Youguo gently pushed the woman away and looked at the tears on the woman's face. Suddenly, I felt these weirdness, these panics, and there was nothing. Someone will care about themselves and shed tears for themselves, and there is nothing more beautiful than this to make themselves happy. Didn't you crave this in your previous life, so you won't stop working hard?

With such a mentality, Youguo gradually relaxed.

Four years have passed in a flash, from the initial panic, to relaxation, to affirmation. He realized that he had traveled to a fantasy continent and possessed this little girl. There is no serpentine birthmark, no dislike of the dean, no isolation of children. These are the happiest years of another few decades of life. The love from her mother, a little warmth melted the ice in her heart, and the pain of being hurt in her previous life was gradually relieved.

Although I don't know if my father is missing or has died, this does not affect Youguo's mood. Compared to the previous life, this is already very good. can wantonly spoil his mother, and mischievous and naughty, these are all childhood that he has never had.

That's right, the woman who hugged herself and cried at the beginning was the mother of this body, Chen. Even if you wear a simple outfit, it's still clean. The skin on both the hands and the face is not as dry, black and yellow as other village women. On the contrary, it is very fair-skinned, but it is not healthy, but from the perspective of the fruit, there is nothing wrong with the body.

He guessed that his mother might have been a young lady in a noble family before. Xu came to this dilapidated village for unavoidable reasons to start a new life.

However, he only coveted the fruit of Chen's maternal love that he had lacked for more than 30 years, and he didn't care about this situation at all. She just wants to live a quiet life with herself and the people she cares about. In short, I was warmed by Chen's maternal love, and I was a happy, carefree and innocent little girl.

Yan Youguo, who is already nine years old, has been on this continent for 4 years, and his mother Chen has been instilling knowledge of this continent in Youguo. With nearly 40 years of experience, coupled with the ability to learn, his memory is already strong. It didn't take long for him to memorize the knowledge that his mother had taught him.

After each person in the Qiling Continent is born, their bodies will independently absorb the spiritual power of the outside world. The speed of absorption is related to the quality of the body and the degree of accommodating the spiritual veins. When absorbed to a certain extent, it will be condensed into a soul egg.

Soul eggs are located in their own spiritual veins and can be released through low-level closed-eye meditation. Soul eggs have no physical body, cannot be broken, and can only be viewed. Soul eggs will basically be around 13 or 14 years old, condensed successfully. It was condensed at the age of 16 and was considered a low talent. When the soul egg is formed, the body will no longer absorb spiritual power on its own.

At this time, it is necessary to awaken your second soul through the guidance technique, usually by the elders of the family, or by the teachers of the academy, and the probability of failure to awaken is almost zero. After that, through the contract, he fuses with his own soul to obtain natural skills, and then uses merit as an aid to cultivate spiritual power and strengthen natural skills. Therefore, the second soul is also called the Covenant Spirit.

The awakening of the second soul can be an ordinary animal, a fierce spirit animal, or even a powerful plant or elemental spirit.

An awakened soul without intelligence. The greater the potential and soul power of the second soul, the more innate skills are granted. The initial talent skill is usually 2. If there are more than 3, the potential is high. Reaching 4 is already considered top-notch, and the entire continent with more than 4 is unheard of.

Awakened people, because the second soul will give them natural skills, so they are called spirit beings.

And the spirit that does not have natural skills is called a spirit child

With the improvement of spiritual power, after breaking through the spirit, you will get another 1-2 talent skills brought by the second soul or strengthen the previous skills, which is related to the attributes of the second soul. At this stage, the spirit master really began to understand the spirit and knew the other side of the spirit of the spirit, and this stage is called: spirit soldier.

The ranks after the spirit soldier are Spirit Master, Spirit General, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Sect, Spirit Venerable, Spirit Saint, and Spirit Emperor. Each major stage is divided into three small stages: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. Each time you break through a big stage, you gain more powerful skills.

The level of the Covenant Spirit is divided into from the first order to the tenth order, the first order has the worst potential, and there are almost no innate skills, and the tenth order has the best potential, and the innate skills are basically 3. The second soul can be divided into control, defensive, ranged, melee and healing.

The common ones of the control type are: Thousand Tough Poison Ivy, Chameleon Spider, Three-Tailed Fire Fox, Ten Thousand Branches...

The merit is divided into heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang. The yellow level is the worst, and the sky level is the highest.

Just as Youguo was sitting outside the door, habitually consolidating what he had learned every morning, there was a loud bang in the house. He stood up in a hurry. Because he sat on the ground for a long time, he stood up too quickly, causing his small body to almost faint. I didn't have time to think about it so much, so I stabilized my body and hurried into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Chen, who had fainted on the ground with blood on the corner of his mouth. His heart tightened, and he panicked inexplicably. Immediately walked in front of Chen in a few big strides, knelt on the ground, dragged Chen's head with his right hand, and supported Chen's waist with his left hand, so that Chen could half-lean on his body.

At this time, even Youguo, who had an adult soul, was at a loss, just kept patting Chen's cheek and muttered, "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Wake up, open your eyes and look at Guoguo, okay, don't scare Guoguo? Don't ignore the fruit, okay? Mother, mother. ”

Seeing Chen's eyelids move, he hurriedly stopped slapping and said softly: "Mother, open your eyes quickly, the ground is cold, let's go to the bed and lie down, mother." Open your eyes".

Xu heard his beloved child crying out in panic. Chen slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the little man with tears in front of him, a dark light flashed in Chen's eyes, and then he sighed lightly.

After a moment, as if he had made a final decision, Chen's eyes suddenly became resolute. touched the little face of the daughter he loved with his life, and said: "Don't be afraid, don't panic, my mother knew that there would be such a day, your uncle back then..." Cough. Before he could finish speaking, Chen coughed up a pool of blood.

The formless Youguo, who had been crying for a long time, was cold in his heart when he heard the Hundred Days Devouring Spirit Poison. Because the toxicity of the Hundred Days Devouring Spirit Poison is very strong, only the Spirit Master after the Spirit Sect can use cultivation to eliminate this poison from the body.

And after this poison is poisoned by the spirit master below the spirit king, the spiritual vein will expand day by day, until the hundredth day, the spiritual vein will suddenly explode, and the soul of the person will be scattered, and there is no solution to this day. The Spirit King, a strong person like the Spirit Emperor, if he hadn't researched the antidote, he would just have to live a few more days.

As soon as I heard about Chen's self-destructive spiritual vein, I knew that my mother, who didn't know what secret method was used and whose strength was at least above the spirit king, did not hesitate to endure the pain of self-destructing spiritual veins and suffering from chaotic spiritual power day and night in her body for her own sake. It turns out that this is the truth.

Youguo hugged Chen's hands and said tightly: "Mother, don't say any more, you have a good rest, I will go to ask the elixir master and find the healer, they will definitely cure you, don't give up." I'll go, you wait for me. After saying that, Youguo wanted to leave and find someone to treat Chen.

Chen also let the Buddha know Guoguo's thoughts, grabbed Youguo's hand first, and said: "Silly child, my mother knows that my body has reached the limit, and now I am just holding on to a breath, let my mother take a look at you more." After touching Youguo's red eyes, Chen handed a ring on the ring finger of his left hand that looked like silver without any pattern to Guoguo's eyes.

"This is a space ring, don't look at it simply, in fact, the capacity in its body is larger than many rings made of high-grade space materials, and it can be transformed into the size of the most suitable owner's finger, and there are many items in it that my mother has collected for many years. and a letter sealed by his mother. My mother knows that you have always been smart, and you can learn what you teach you at one time. can also guess that the mother was killed. But my mother doesn't want you to grow up with hatred, I hope you can grow up happily and peacefully, even if there is no major cultivation in your life. Speaking of this, Chen breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his immature face, his eyes were full of reluctance.

When I was six years old, because of the inexplicable chaos of spiritual power in my body, my mother carried me on her back late at night and walked more than 20 miles to the small county town. Giving up his arrogant identity, he knelt down and begged the healer, just to save himself. When he was seven years old, he was bullied by the little bully in the village, and his mother changed her gentle style on weekdays, and fought with the whole family of the little bully. When I was eight years old....

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and I thought that my crossing was to make up for the lack of warmth in my previous life, but I didn't expect such a result. Fear of losing Chen, fear of losing the sunshine that illuminates his world.

Youguo shook his head and cried: "Mother, I don't want you to go, please, don't leave me." You haven't watched me grow up, I haven't repaid you well, you can't just leave me like this, I promise you, I will study the "Heavenly Dao Imperial Spirit Decision" you taught well, and I won't be lazy anymore, don't leave me, okay. ”

I know that this thing can't be undone, but people are not like this, they will always hope that a miracle will happen, and even if they are disappointed many times, they will continue to long.

I heard my daughter crying with a glutinous voice. Chen's heart had already been twisted, and his face was as pale as snow because of pain.

Chen took his last breath and looked at his daughter. "Guoguo, my mother knows that with your talent, plus the Heavenly Dao Imperial Soul Decision. You will not be mediocre, you will definitely paint your own piece of color on the continent. But before you reach the spirit general, don't rise to prominence, don't seek the truth because you are not strong enough. The letter in the Space Ring can be opened when you reach the Spirit King. My mother has explained everything in the letter. If you're not strong enough, let it all end with my passing. ”

Chen swallowed the blood in his mouth and continued: "After your mother leaves you, you must protect yourself. There is also a dragon-shaped jade pendant in the space ring, you take it to Behm Academy and find a woman from 'Chen Yuyuan'. She'll take care of you for me. Cough. Cough. Burst. ”

After Chen finished saying this, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, half of the blood sprayed on the ground, and half of it stained his plain white clothes. But at the moment, Chen doesn't care about these at all, she just wants to be able to arrange a safe road for her daughter when she is dying.

Chen grabbed Guoguo's left hand and said weakly: "Guoguo, my mother is dying, the collision of spiritual power has already damaged my five internal organs, and the collision has broken." You. Say yes. Mother, good... of being alive. Promise... Mother, otherwise my mother will really die blindly. ”

Youguo, whose eyes had been blurred by tears, didn't know what to say when he heard his mother's last advice. Just nodded indiscriminately.

After Chen looked at Youguo and nodded, his eyes gradually lost their brightness, and his eyelids closed his eyes permanently because he no longer had the strength to support them.

"Mother", a cry that cracked his lungs, and he also felt that the strength in his body had been drained, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted
