Shanhai City, the capital city of the southern province of Dahuaguo. One night in April 2015.

A red-faced man with a large crooked mouth was half leaning against a stone by the river. There was no more wine in the bottle. He gasped, and one of his shoes was missing. Looking at the brilliant lights on the other side of the river, the man suddenly stood up and threw the wine bottle in his hand towards the river. The bottle arced in the air, fell into the boiling river with a "pop", and then disappeared.

The man was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and wore a suit of casual clothes that were covered with mud and only had shoes on one foot.

Throwing away the bottle, the man suddenly crouched down and sat on the rock, covered his face with his hands, and cried loudly.

The man's name was Ma Fan. Thirty-five-year-old Ma Fan is an ordinary middle-level cadre of a state-owned enterprise in Shanhai City, who has a salary that is neither high nor low, and his life is not turbulent. Ma Fan's hometown is in the countryside, and he is an authentic rural person. Qiu Xiaoting is an ordinary employee of a company, working a 9-to-5 job, and her salary is just enough for herself. Ma Fan dated his wife seven years ago and has been living together ever since. They got married three years ago at the urging of their parents, but their wife Qiu Xiaoting has not been able to conceive a child since they got married.

Qiu Xiaoting's mother's family is better than Ma Fan's, her parents are both staff members of a bank in Shanhai City, and their family conditions are much better than Ma Fan's. It is precisely because of this that Qiu Xiaoting has a lot of superiority in front of Ma Fan, and she still faintly looks down on this man in her heart. However, Qiu Xiaoting's parents knew the importance of a man's character, so they rejected some suitors with superior family conditions and chose Ma Fan as their son-in-law.

It can be said that Ma Fan's family is very ordinary in Shanhai City. The family lived in peace, but soon this peace was shattered.

As the married life of the two continued, Qiu Xiaoting's dissatisfaction with Ma Fan became more and more serious. In her eyes, this man is good for nothing but a stable job. doesn't drink or smoke, Qiu Xiaoting feels that this is completely unmanly. usually doesn't sing K and doesn't go into bars, which makes Qiu Xiaoting feel that Ma Fan is uninteresting and a person who doesn't understand romance at all. She felt that this ordinary life was far from her ideal romantic life, and her ideals were completely different from what her parents thought. Her ideal is to live a life of fine clothes and food, so she has been resentful of her parents since she got married. Ma Fan and Qiu Xiaoting's family conflict has gradually escalated, and the two sides have been separated for a year after the Cold War.

Today is the day of their divorce. After completing the divorce procedures, Ma Fan did not say anything to anyone except his family. He spent an afternoon in the workplace in a daze, bought a bottle of wine after work, walked aimlessly along the road while drinking, and then somehow walked to the river. Recalling that he and Qiu Xiaoting used to pick up pebbles here barefoot, the laughter and laughter of the past seemed to still echo in his ears, Ma Fan couldn't help it anymore, sat on a pile of pebbles, and cried.

Vaguely, Ma Fan seemed to see a dazzling ball of light falling from the sky at an extremely fast speed, smashing into his body in an instant.

Ma Fan opened his eyes and felt a splitting headache. It was a blur in front of me, and gradually I could see some dim lights. He shook his head, and gradually felt a little more awake, and then he felt that he was lying down. He felt a pain in his lower back, reached out and groped for a while, and found a pile of rubble under him. It was only when the blurred light in the distance slowly cleared up that he could see that it was the light of the buildings on the shore reflected in the river.

He was about to get up on his hands, when he suddenly felt a pain all over his body, in addition to a headache. The tearing pain in his waist, thighs, and abdomen made him cry out. With a sigh of relief, he slowly got up from the ground. In the dim light, he could barely see that the trousers of his calf were broken, his calf was exposed, and a piece of skin on his calf was scratched, and a little blood oozed out, and the injury was not very serious, allowing him to move slowly.

Ma Fan's spirit was in a trance. He shook his head, trying to remember where it was, what had happened to him.

Looks like it's been a long time since I've been hurt. Those who have injured themselves before have already been killed by themselves. He tried to recall that just now, as if arranged by the Alliance, he was undergoing the transformation of the "Divine Consciousness Enhancement No. 3" instrument newly invented by the Xiuzhen Alliance in the laboratory, and was preparing to implant the cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements jointly developed by the Alliance's scientists and the Xiuzhen Realm, and the memory carrier "MSI", which carried the Alliance's billion-year scientific and technological and Xiuzhen development, into Ma Fan's consciousness. However, in my memory, it seemed that in the final stage of transformation, a strong light struck, instantly breaking through the defensive shield on the periphery of the instrument, and the guards of the alliance laboratory could not be rescued, and the instrument was destroyed on the spot. Ma Fan, who was being transformed, was affected, and his body was completely destroyed.

Ma Fan's heart moved, ready to raise his qi to heal his injuries, but he found that the dantian was empty, and his body did not have any cultivation. He tried to use his mind to connect with the storage ring on the middle finger of his left hand, but found that there was no response.

Ma Fan shook his head and looked around. After a long time, distant memories gradually poured into my mind.

I'm back? I'm back on Earth?

He remembered that this was the Eagle's Beak River Beach in Shanhai City. The scene of that year gradually came to mind.

On this night that year, Ma Fan, who had just been divorced, came to the Eagle's Beak River Beach unknowingly and drank a whole bottle of liquor here.

The disheartened Ma Fan has been in a slump since then and has been drinking heavily all day long. Until May Day a year later, Ma Fan came to Yanziling near his hometown alone and accidentally fell into the cliff, but he didn't want to cross the Haotian space and arrived at the Haotian Continent. There, Ma Fan learned from the pain and started to cultivate from scratch. Although he missed the best starting time for cultivation, the talented Ma Fan quickly stood out, and after eight thousand years, he finally cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal Realm and became one of the giants of the Haotian Continent.

At this time, it was Shanhai City in April, and there was a chill in the air. However, perhaps because of the drinking, Ma Fan didn't feel the cold in the air at all, and only felt helpless in his heart.

It seems that he had an accident when he was receiving the transformation of the "Divine Consciousness Enhancement No. 3" instrument, his body was wiped out, and he had been practicing hard for 8,000 years, and now his cultivation is gone. Not only is the cultivation completely lost, but the storage ring is gone, and all the magic weapons, immortal weapons and other weapons, pills, and spars are all gone.

Ma Fan sat on the ground in a gloomy state, only to feel soreness and weakness.

After a long time, Ma Fan gradually relaxed his emotions and cleared his mind.

"If you come, you will be safe. Since the Heavenly Dao has asked me to return to Earth in the dark, there must be a reason. This time, let me live a different life!" Ma Fan quickly adjusted his mentality.

Although the cultivation and storage rings are gone, his state of mind is still there, and his divine sense is still a powerful divine sense in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The memory is also intact, and the various exercises in my mind are still there. He tried to breathe, but found that the current earth lacked spiritual energy, and only a very small amount of spiritual energy entered his body with his luck.

"With this, it is already a blessing in misfortune. I must do it all over again this time and cultivate every realm to the extreme. Ma Fan is already very satisfied with the current situation.

Feeling a hard thing in his pocket, Ma Fan took it out and saw that it was a mobile phone.

"I can't imagine that the earth's communication tools are still so backward. But seeing this mobile phone, Ma Fan inexplicably felt a sense of kindness.

Ma Fan clicked on his mobile phone and dialed the fat man's number.

The fat man's name is Liu Bo, and he met a friend who just joined the work after graduating from college, and after more than ten years of contact, the two have become close friends.

"Fatty, drive me up. ”

"Brother Fan, it's so late, where are you?" a hoarse voice came from the phone.

"Eagle's beak beach. Bring a pair of slippers. Ma Fan wanted to go back by himself, but found that one of the shoes on his feet was missing at some point, so he had to call Liu Bo to send him a pair of slippers and pick him up by the way.

Twenty minutes later, the sound of a car engine sounded, and then a light shone through. The fat man is coming.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong with you? Drinking? Ah, where are your shoes?" After Liu Bo got out of the car, he came to the river beach under the illumination of the car lights. The moment he saw Ma Fan, he couldn't believe that he was the usually neat and clean Ma Fan in front of him.

Without waiting for Ma Fan to answer, Liu Bo turned around, took out a pair of slippers from the car, and then hurriedly trotted and put the slippers in front of Ma Fan.

"What about another shoe?" Liu Bo looked around, but didn't see the other.

Looking at his former friends, Ma Fan felt very cordial. He walked forward quickly and hugged Liu Bo tightly, even though he had a thousand words in his heart, he didn't know where to start.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong with you today? Have you changed your interest? Oops, goosebumps are up!" Liu Bo broke free and slapped his nose.

"One of the shoes is missing. Forget it, don't. Ma Fan slippers and the socks on both feet, put on slippers, and then walked to the river to wash his feet.

"What's the matter, buddy, let people cook it?" Liu Bo joked when he saw that Ma Fan's face was flushed and with a strong smell of alcohol.

"I'm divorced today. Ma Fan said softly to Liu Bo.

That night, Ma Fan was not in a hurry to go back. The former home has been given to Qiu Xiaoting, and Ma Fan has rented a house outside for a period of time before. This night, Ma Fan and the fat man continued to drink at the fat man's house, and the fat man's wife Wang Li made a few appetizers. They knew Ma Fan's suffering, so they all cooperated to let Ma Fan borrow wine to drown his sorrows.
