Chapter 1: Cause and Effect of the Antecedents
On the Flood Continent......
In the past, the ancient city of Taihao was a prosperous scene, but now it has become a huge battlefield.
The Taihao City Defense Array, which has not been opened for many years, has also been reactivated, and the exaggerated energy has covered out from the Taihao City, covering the entire Taihao City tightly.
Wang Xi returned home in a daze, he still had Vivian's body in his arms, and he didn't understand why he wanted to bring Vivian's body back...... Perhaps, there is still a little hope in his heart? Or rather, fluke.
He knew that what Feng Jie said was correct, if he didn't have the strength, it would be difficult to do anything, especially the anti-heaven thing like resurrecting people.
This is the same as when Wang Xi was on the earth, it was difficult to move an inch without money...... It's just that it used to be money, but now it's force.
Wang Xi placed Vivian in one of her rooms, turned on the zero-gravity mode, and turned the temperature below freezing...... Here, Vivien's body can be guaranteed to be kept from decaying to the greatest extent. If it was still a peaceful era in Taihao City, Wang Xi wouldn't have to do this, but there was no other way now.
Putting Vivian's body in this room, Wang Xi also let go of his hand, letting Vivian's body float and lie in mid-air, he stared at Vivian's face and whispered, "Vivian, I'm sorry, if I could have been earlier...... Maybe it can really save you. You are the first person to be good to me after I came to the flood wilderness, although I am not a big person, nor am I a male pig's foot in an online article, but I swear to you, I promise, as long as I am alive, I will do my best to find a way to resurrect you! I can't do it now, I'll work hard to cultivate and become stronger before I come back to resurrect you! I promise! ”
The fists of both hands were clenched, and Wang Xi's eyes were extremely firm, unprecedentedly firm...... All along, the comfortable life of the flood made him almost think that he was living in a peaceful world like the earth.
However, today's experience made him understand...... The Flood Wilderness, or rather, this multiverse, is a cruel place, where powerful beings can dominate weak beings at will, and can kill them wantonly! And they ...... Wang Xi and Vivian, such ordinary people, such weak people, could not resist their killing at all, and could only be slaughtered.
This kind of pain made Wang Xi swear never to experience it a second time!
This time, Wang Xi is not for his own YY, nor is it for the dream of becoming the CEO to marry Bai Fumei to the pinnacle of life, but ...... Really down-to-earth, want to have the power to control your own destiny and protect the people around you!
"Idiot, don't wake up yet?"
Just as Wang Xi made up his mind, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Huh?" Wang Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had auditory hallucinations.
However, immediately after, the voice sounded again, and said in Wang Xi's mind: "You came to the Flood Wilderness, but you forgot to get down to business?" ”
"Is that real?" Wang Xi was surprised, there was really a voice in his head? ? What's going on?
Wang Xi was confused, but he was also a little panicked...... What's going on with all this? He didn't understand at all, this kind of unknown made Wang Xi feel a little scared.
"You...... Who are you? Wang Xi said with a tremor in his voice.
"Alas......" the voice sighed, "Well, let you see how you came here." ”
After saying a word, Wang Xi instantly felt that his consciousness was gradually fading away......
Remote antiquity.
Indigenous peoples rule the world.
It was a very prosperous world, but there were no human beings at that time, and to be precise, "human beings" at that time could not be called "human beings......
…… Finally, the war began to break out on a large scale
…… Non-living sapients such as Titans, Firedemons, and humanoids, and even plant-based sapient lifeforms are fighting endlessly over the conflict of race and belief with each other.
…… In ancient times, the ancestors of human beings collectively called them demons, but at that time, the demon race was extremely powerful, and humans were just their food.
And then there'...... In the midst of the constant oppression of life and death, human life is also constantly evolving, until the first saints of mankind appear.
Sage......
Overwhelming mountains and seas, destroying the heavens and the earth, catching the stars and the moon...... A life being with at least such a powerful life is a saint.
Initially...... It's the man named Pangu.
At that time, apart from him, the rest of the demon clan was still fighting endlessly, and there were also several non-human saints......
Then......
…… The flood is groundbreaking......
Wang Xi listened to this passage intermittently in his dream, and in many places he did not hear it clearly at all, and strictly speaking, this passage could not even be regarded as hearing, but seemed to be felt naturally. But just as he tried to hear it, it suddenly disappeared strangely when he said this......
"Huh?!"
Wang Xi opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up from the bed all of a sudden......
The small room was pitch black, and outside the window with the curtains drawn, there was a faint sound of one or two cars driving on the road, Wang Xi reached out and took the charging mobile phone placed next to the bed, and pressed the button. Suddenly, the dazzling light of the mobile phone screen made Wang Xi, who had just woken up from a dream, unable to open his eyes.
"That's all there now."
Wang Xi muttered quietly, the time displayed on the mobile phone was half past two in the morning, and people were still asleep at this point, which was also the time when Wang Xi usually slept the most soundly.
However, when he thought of that dream, Wang Xi couldn't sleep.
Lying back on the bed, trying to fall asleep again but always failed, Wang Xi simply got up and lit a cigarette, and didn't turn on the light, so he walked directly to the window, opened the curtain and opened the window to breathe and smoke. Anyway, this room is a little bigger, and after living for so long, I won't bump into anything even if I close my eyes.
When I opened the window, a cool breeze blew in, and at the same time, the smell of smoke was blown away.
Looking out the window, there is a street outside, and even if it is late at night, there are still cars passing by from time to time......
This is a first-tier city in China, where countless young people are working hard to pursue their dreams.
Wang Xi's luck is still good, the job he is looking for now, the company provides a dormitory, so that he can save a rent expense. And the house rented by the company is also quite close to the company, half an hour on foot, ten minutes on a bicycle, and just ride a public bicycle to work every day, so that he also saves a lot of transportation expenses, and he does not have to squeeze in the subway early in the morning as cans.
Except for the salary is a little small, this job is almost perfect, at least Wang Xi doesn't pick, he is not a person who can't endure hardship, and the dormitory conditions he lived in when he lived in college were much worse than this. Anyway, there is an air conditioner, a washing machine, a water heater and a refrigerator.
However, Wang Xi, who is usually thinking about how to get promoted and raised, now he doesn't want anything, but fortunately, his colleagues live in the other two rooms, and Wang Xi won't make any noise to them when he gets up.
His mind was at a loss, and the picture in the dream just now was constantly being played, making Wang Xi couldn't help but doubt...... Is what you just saw in your dream real?
"What are you kidding...... This network is the same plot. ”
Wang Xi muttered in his heart, the picture in the dream was too absurd, and it was different from the mythical stories he knew when he was a child, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a plot made up on the Internet.
It's just that the picture is too real, and the reality makes him think that he has watched some fantasy blockbuster...... It's just that how can Chinese fantasy blockbusters be so good-looking? Can Wang Xi remember it so deeply?
Under the irritability, Wang Xi couldn't sleep more and more, smoking cigarettes one after another, and the direct consequence of this was that when he got up to work the next morning, Wang Xi stared at a dark circle and went to work.
After finally staying up until the end of work in the evening, Wang Xi carried a three-fresh fried rice packed from the Shaxian Hotel and rode towards the dormitory...... It's been a bad day today, so let's go back and rest early.
But just as he was riding around a corner, suddenly, the bicycle shook violently, which suddenly made Wang Xi's body lose his balance, and the whole person fell to the ground.
"it!"
Wang Xi only had time to let out a foul mouth, and then only had time to protect his body with his hands, and subconsciously propped his palms to the ground...... Then, Wang Xi felt as if his palm had been punctured by some sharp object.
"Hiss...... "Hiss" Wang Xi gasped, sat on the ground, didn't care about getting dirty, hurriedly looked at the palm, only to see that the palm was dripping with blood, and on the piece of flesh under the thumb, a wound of about two centimeters appeared, and blood was bubbling out.
Wang Xi inhaled while taking out a pack of napkins from his pocket, took out one and pressed it on the wound, and then had time to look at the culprit who made him "overturn".
This is a bicycle lane, and there are many vehicles after work, but when Wang Xi fell to the ground, no one came to help him, and the rest of the bicycles and battery cars left around him, enclosing a vacant lot for the piece where Wang Xi fell.
Wang Xi first looked distressed at his untouched three-fresh fried rice, which had been spilled...... Then he ignored the bicycle that fell to the side and looked at a lump of dirt on the ground.
There was a small patch of blood on this lump, which was obviously the one that pierced Wang Xi's hand.
Wang Xi was angry from his heart and scolded: "Which Wang Balamb is so unqualified, throw this broken stone here, hurt people!" ”
Wang Xi's angry scolding naturally no one paid attention to, and after Wang Xi scolded for a few sentences, he was angry a little, and then picked up the lump of dirt and threw it into the trash can next to the road with his backhand.
It's just that what he didn't notice was ...... The moment he threw it into the trash, the lump turned into an extremely faint yellowish light and flew to Wang Xi's hand.
On this day, Wang Xi still ordered takeout, and when he got off work, he suffered a flying disaster, and Wang Xi naturally wanted to give himself something good to suppress.
One of his other two colleagues went out to dinner, and the other went on a date with his girlfriend, so Wang Xi was the only one in the house for the time being.
After treating the wound in the bathroom, Wang Xi sat on the sofa in the living room and played with his mobile phone, waiting for the takeaway to arrive.
While playing, Wang Xi suddenly felt as if something was wrong...... Why is his hand hot?
"Huh?"
Wang Xi looked at his hand suddenly, it was the injured hand, this hand was constantly heating, its heat was so high that Wang Xi could feel it even if he didn't touch it. The skin was constantly reddening, and a trace of white water vapor was constantly coming out of the palm.
This scene surprised Wang Xi, and then he was a little scared, what happened to his hand? Didn't your hand just accidentally get pulled by a stone? Not really, right?
Wang Xi had just stood up and wanted to cool down his hand with cold water, when suddenly, a voice appeared in his mind.
"Your name is Wang Xi, right?"
Wang Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked around suspiciously, but now he was the only one in the house, who would ask him this question?
"Who? Come out! Don't play with me! Wang Xi took the mobile phone and stuffed it in his trouser pocket, and at the same time looked towards the door, he was not the only one in this room! He knew the voices of his colleagues well, it couldn't be like this.
Now Wang Xi has not thought in the direction of demons and monsters, after all, as an atheist, Wang Xi can still distinguish the difference between YY and reality.
"Alas...... Stop screaming, I'm not in this house. The voice said again.
This time, Wang Xi suddenly became terrified, because this time, Wang Xi found out...... This voice actually sounded directly from his head!
This feeling was very weird, Wang Xi had never experienced this feeling, but he did feel it, and knew that the voice was sounding from his head.
"You...... You...... Are you a human or a ghost? Wang Xi's teeth chattered a little, the first time he encountered this kind of supernatural event, Wang Xi wanted to ask on the Internet, "What should I do if someone talks in my head when I encounter a supernatural event?" Waiting online, it's in a hurry. ”。
"Of course I'm human." The voice in his head said indifferently.
At this time, hearing the other party say this, Wang Xi was also slightly relieved, calmed down a little, he felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable sense of majesty in that voice, just listening to this voice, for some reason, Wang Xi had an urge to bow and worship.
"That...... What's your last name? Why are you looking for me? Wang Xi calmed down, realizing that he was afraid that he had encountered something terrible, and he couldn't help but feel a little dry, and the plots of countless networks flashed in his mind, but the cruelty of reality was telling him, don't think about it, how can there be such a good thing in this world? There will be no pie in the sky.
The voice in Wang Xi's head said, "I passed some information into your mind last night, don't you know who I am?" ”
"Last night? I didn't sleep well last night, did I? It's all because of that dream...... Uh, dreams? Wang Xi was startled, and finally realized something, he blurted out: "You...... That dream I had last night, is it ...... Is it all because you can't make it? ”
The voice in Wang Xi's mind said indifferently: "That's exactly ......"
Wang Xi was in a trance, as if he had discovered something terrible...... Last night, if that dream was all true. Well, if it was all this voice that came to him, what did those images really mean? What does the other party want him to do?
A series of puzzles made Wang Xi's mind constantly surge, he didn't understand why the other party would find him, and he didn't know what the other party's intentions were? If he really has bad intentions towards himself, even if he doesn't do anything, he will sing in his head twenty-four hours a day, or in a few days, Wang Xi will go crazy.
Fortunately, the voice was also easy to speak, and it seemed to know that Wang Xi was confused now, so he replied: "I am the Emperor of the Central Wutu Houde, and the voice you hear now is just a trace of the light of my soul, Wang Xi, it is fate that you can meet me." I need you to do something for me, and when it's done, I'll take you as an apprentice, are you willing? ”
"The Emperor of the Central Wutu Houde People?" Wang Xi carefully repeated the name, similar titles, Wang Xi had seen a lot of them when he watched the Internet before, but when he encountered it in person for the first time, he was still a little dizzy...... This is his ancestor. No, it should be said that it is the ancestor of all Chinese. Really? Did he really touch it?
Although Wang Xi didn't want to investigate what kind of ghost the light of the soul was, he took him as a disciple...... Hey, this temptation is so great, it's ...... made Wang Xi more cautious.
"That...... Senior, it's not me who said, you, you...... What the hell are you going me to do? I don't have any skills, you just asked me to do something, what if I mess up? Wang Xi cautiously brewed his words and said, for fear of angering this ancestor, if he accidentally took him in, it would be over.
The human emperor said in an indifferent tone: "Don't worry, I know your scruples, I will only tell you all the causes and consequences." Gives you peace of mind. ”
"Oh...... That's great. Wang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the other party is not the kind of unreasonable person, which is really lucky.
The Human Emperor asked, "Wang Xi, how much do you know about the world you live in?" ”
"Huh?" Wang Xi was dumbfounded, and after thinking for a moment, Wang Xi said cautiously: "Uh...... We're in a world that's the Earth, the third planet of the solar system, with the Milky Way and the universe beyond that, right? ”
The Emperor said, "That's right, these basic astronomical knowledge are correct...... But you're getting one thing wrong. ”
"What's the matter?"
"That's it...... This is only the perception of your plane. ”
The Human Emperor said lightly: "Wang Xi, I told you some information yesterday, you should know that there is a world that is vast and boundless, and its continent is comparable to the universe, vast and endless, and there are countless strange creatures living on it. These creatures...... They are the mortal enemies of mankind, and we call them collectively ...... Goblin. ”
"! Are there really youkai? Wang Xi was shocked, but after thinking about it, even an immortal like the Human Emperor appeared, so there were monsters or something, isn't it normal?
The Human Emperor continued: "That is the plane with the uniqueness of the entire multiverse, the center of the entire multiverse, and you ...... Wang Xi, the world you are in is not actually inside the multiverse, do you know? ”
"Uh...... I don't know. Wang Xi replied honestly, he also understands the concept of the multiverse, and he learned about it from American comics, after all, Marvel and DC have been released several Hollywood blockbusters a year, and he has also learned a lot about the works and settings of American comics, and knows the concept of the multiverse.
In Wang Xi's cognition, the so-called multiverse is a universe formed by countless parallel worlds, and the universe formed by countless parallel time and space is the multiverse.
The Human Emperor did not correct Wang Xi's concept and understanding, but continued: "I entered this turbulent flow of time and space thousands of years ago in order to find a person. This space-time turbulence is a gap to the outside of the multiverse, or a passageway. This place is extremely dangerous, I once suppressed 1,800 tribes here in the early years of the human calendar, and all the demons that exist here are extremely powerful. It was supposed to be the place of the step-by-step killing, however, in the process of searching for people, I discovered your world. Your world is special. ”
"Special?" Wang Xi was stunned, what's so special about this? They don't have superpowers in this world, and they don't have cultivators, what's so special? Could it be that in fact, there really is a dragon group in the country? It's just that they don't know?
The Human Emperor said: "The space-time turbulence is an extremely special place in the multiverse, and the history and time and space of this place should all develop independently, and have nothing to do with the multiverse. But...... Only this plane was actually affected by the human luck resonance plan and developed towards the standard plane. And, so far, it has not been disturbed in any way, nor has it been destroyed by the attacks of those demon clans who suppressed it. ”
Listening to the words of the human emperor, Wang Xi had a confused and unaware expression, but when he heard the last sentence, somehow, Wang Xi shuddered and subconsciously asked, "Is our world so dangerous?" Will you be destroyed by youkai at any time? ”
The Human Emperor said lightly: "That's right...... Your plane is so special that I can't help but wonder...... This plane, whether it comes from outside the box. ”
"Outside the box?" Wang Xi heard another word that he didn't know was clear.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I will pass on all this information to you so that you can understand." The Human Emperor explained lightly.
"Now, I'm going to ask you to do me a favor, would you?" The Human Emperor asked again.
Hearing this, Wang Xi asked, "What is the busy?" ”
The Emperor replied: "I want you to return to the flood and become the coordinates of my return to the flood wilderness!" ”
"Huh?" Wang Xi was stunned.
"I am not here, I want to bring people back, I can't leave alone, therefore, I need you to return to the flood wilderness to guide me first, after this matter is successful, I will accept you as a disciple and help you achieve the immortal fruit. You...... Would you like to? ”
