Chapter 1, The Ancestral Home in the Present World
Welcome back, hibernators
Jun Tian's gaze became resolute as he gritted his teeth and continued to dig through the frozen soil, unwilling to spend his entire life as a slave to mining
Isn't what is engraved on this... the scriptures of cultivation? Could it be that a treasure has been unearthed?" Jun Tian hurriedly averted his gaze
Huang De stood high above, looking down at Jun Tian. He reached out and patted his flushed face, sneering: "Do you believe that Brother De can crush you with just one finger?"
Detection, bloodline
Jun Tian could only endure the humiliation and lower his head
Jun Tian tightly gripped the dark ice shovel, a surge of rage rising in his chest as he glared at Huang De
Nearby, companions sigh; what are the common people here? Without the ability to unearth treasures, there isn't even a meal to eat
After all, the family is immensely interested in the deeply buried frozen corpse, which remains vividly lifelike even after ten thousand years. In life, she was undoubtedly a renowned and powerful woman.
But suddenly, overnight, the climate changed drastically, and a blizzard engulfed the entire world, transforming it into a vast and boundless realm of ice and snow
"It has been three days since we dug at hetushu.com without finding anything. If this continues, my little sister will go hungry." Jun Tian was troubled, realizing that having brute strength without luck was not enough
Oh, what is this trying to accomplish? Trying to scratch Brother De's itch?
The heavens are astonished, has a tile somehow entered his mind
The young man stands tall, dressed in thin clothing, with a handsome face, yet his body is filled with a strong masculine energy, unafraid of the harsh cold
Huang De was in high spirits and said, "This must be the scent of the girl, right? I say, Jun Tian, when the time comes, bring your sister to my house, and I will take good care of her health."
Huang De conducted a thorough search with great efficiency, while Jun Tian cooperated; if he did not cooperate, Huang De could kill him
Jun Tian's mind was like glue, unable to comprehend what had happened, but more than that, there was overwhelming joy. The Origin Ceremony? Could it be that I am about to become the Originator!
What did you dig out? Show it to me!
He also heard that countless sacred places and paradises were buried beneath the glaciers along with the maps and books, and that anyone who excavated these frozen realms would be able to reach the pinnacle of life
Certain regions are even filled with terrifying cold matter, making it difficult for powerful originators to set foot there
At the age of sixteen, Jun Tian was naturally endowed with great strength. His neighbor, Sister Zhang, often praised him for his immense power, likening him to a fierce tiger. His companions all said that he would surely become an 'Originator' in the future
Hahaha ... ...
The goods have been shipped! Jun Tian felt a surge of joy in his heart, quickly breaking through the ice layer, and discovered a fist-sized nine-colored tile.
Eastern Divine Continent, the Arctic Snowfield, where the sun is never seen all day, vast and desolate.
The tiles are engraved with incredibly intricate patterns, and during the observation of Jun Tian, there is a feeling of dizziness, almost leading to a collapse and falling into a deep sleep
As he pondered, he fell asleep, but in his dreams, he saw tiles
This ... ...
The brutal reality of survival; the only outcome of resistance is death
As nightfall approached, Jun Tian sat on the straw mat inside the tent, gnawing on a cold steamed bun, pondering how the tiles and books had inexplicably vanished
The nights in the Arctic are extremely cold, and it is common for people to freeze to death
Human life form detected, verification successful
A cold glimmer flashed in Huang De's eyes; how could the insight of the Originator be comprehended by mere mortals? Just now, he had clearly noticed the nine-colored object
On a towering iceberg, hundreds of young and strong individuals, clad in tattered animal skin garments, braved the biting cold wind to excavate the hard frozen soil
The fragrance is truly powerful!
Huang Dekuang laughed heartily as he pushed through the crowd of onlookers, seizing the jade-like arm and embracing it passionately, so excited that he was dancing with joy.
In the biting cold, these individuals were left with faces that were blue and purple, their bodies seeming as if they might crack apart, suffering beyond words. When someone noticed the gray-haired youth at the back of the line, they were filled with envy.
... ...
Huang De is by no means an ordinary person; he is the 'originator' of the Huang family, having once lived in the prosperous and affluent Eastern world, where such dreadful weather does not exist
Jun's body trembled in the cold, yet he was acutely aware of the terrifying presence of Huang De before him, capable of tearing apart wild beasts and ferocious predators at any moment.
The black mysterious ice shovel wielded by Jun Tian unexpectedly came into contact with a hard object
He even discovered that the tiles were somewhat different, as ancient sacrificial sounds echoed from the void, conveying certain special languages
It got dark immediately; if we can't dig anything out today, we might as well go drink the northwest wind
But he was astonished; where had the tile he was holding gone?
Touch
A thunderous sound suddenly erupted, causing Jun Tian's heart to tighten. Despite his unwillingness, he still forced a bitter smile as he submitted, hoping that Huang De would grant him a few more 'grain tickets'.
Detection, Soul Mark
If one day I can earn enough money to buy a spot in the 'Origin Ceremony' and become an Originator, then I will be able to take my little sister away from the Arctic, away from this bitterly cold land
This dreadful weather, when will it come to an end
The ancestral home opens, unfolding the path of life's origins
Jun Tian appeared somewhat dazed, scratching his head and saying: "De Ge, I think I’m seeing things; it’s just a lump of ice, and I was overly excited about the library."
All the young adults dare to be angry but do not speak out; for them, the night here is like a nightmare. Even with the provision of tents and fire pits to keep warm, they are likely to fall seriously ill.
In the biting cold wind, the shouts and curses of Captain Huang De could be heard. This area, spanning thousands of miles, belonged entirely to the Huang family, and Jun Tian and the others were merely miners employed by the Huang family
He is even more emotional, as it is said that eons ago, this place was rich in natural beauty and treasures, with outstanding individuals and a harmonious environment. The people did not have to worry about food and could enjoy the sun every day
Concerned that news might leak and cause trouble, Huang De announced that he would be staying here tonight
The heavens roar within his heart; this has been his belief since childhood. He aspires to live in the Eastern world, forever wishing to avoid the daily pangs of hunger
Suddenly, a commotion arose. Huang De could not attend to tidying up Jun Tian and rushed over. He saw someone digging out a pure white arm from the frozen earth, glistening with a crystalline sheen, clearly a severed arm of a woman
Huang De, maintaining a calm demeanor, pulled out the red scarf from Jun Tian's embrace, catching a whiff of a young woman's fragrant scent, and his gaze turned sinister
