Lord of the World: Volume 1

By Ke Dong

"A few hundred years ago, there was a group of humans who were known as' Force Awakened ones'. They have the unimaginable power of ordinary humans and the ability to rule the world. However … Awakened ones are not united and in the end, they are separated into two factions. The group was called the Yang Awakened ones, also known as the Sky Sun Clan. The other faction was the Yin Awakened ones, also known as the Earth Yin Tribe. A hundred years ago, the Sky Sun and Earth Yin Tribes finally had an unprecedented, decisive battle. In the end, the Sky Sun Clan won, and the Earth Yin Tribe was completely wiped out. The world was eventually ruled by the Heavenly Sun tribe, who began to call themselves the Heavenly God race. After the war between Yin and Yang, the Earth Yin Tribe was demoted to the "Earth Devil Race" by the God of Heaven. Although the Earth demons had been killed and wounded in the great battle, the clan's most precious treasure, the "Earth Yin Saint (Demon) Codex", had been left behind and had set off a wave of bloodshed.

CHAPTER 1 - POPULATION

The Leng Village was located to the south of the Heavenly God Continent. It was an unknown little village. Because a few decades ago, there was a clan with the surname Leng that settled down here, reproducing and reproducing.

Other than the fact that there were many clan members with the surname Leng and almost half of the entire village's population, there wasn't much difference between the Leng Village and the other villages. After dinner, the Leng Village which was primarily focused on farming entered a peaceful and tranquil state.

When all the adults fell asleep, a six or seven year old child sneakily crawled out from under the blanket. The little guy put on his clothes, afraid that he would disturb his sleeping parents, and quietly walked out of the room.

Seeing that he had already escaped from the danger zone that his parents would discover, the little guy was like a group of wild horses that had escaped from their restraints and galloped towards the back of the mountain. It was a moonlit night in the middle of summer, when the crickets were still active. The little guy had already planned to catch a big green head tonight to make his fellow villagers jealous to death.

However, the sky did not change. The clear night sky suddenly became overcast. Not long after, a light drizzle began to fall. Xiao Budian was very familiar with the back of the mountain. Even though it was dark, it was easy for him to find a cave that could shelter him from the wind and rain.

It was dark and the rain was still falling. The boy's wish to catch a big green head would probably be difficult to fulfill tonight. Without the excitement he had been waiting for, a wave of tiredness swept over. The little guy leaned against a corner of the cave, curled up his body, and fell into a deep sleep.

Even though it was drizzling rain, the Leng Village still maintained its tranquility. Even the insects and dogs that were barking had stopped because of the drizzle. However, the peace of the Leng Village was not maintained for long before it was quickly broken by the sound of a noisy set of horse hooves.

A group of people dressed in navy blue warrior robes, with black veils covering their faces, rode tall horses and charged into the Leng Village. After the group entered the Leng Village, they quickly split into two groups. One group scattered and completely blocked all the entrances of the Leng Village, while the other group rushed towards Leng Tong's home which was located in the center of the Leng Village.

Leng Tong had already been woken up by the sound of the horses' hooves, he got up and carefully listened to the sounds outside. He soon realized that the sound of the horse's hooves was coming in the direction of their house.

Leng Xiao Yi thought to himself: Not good!

Leng Tong immediately looked at his wife who was lying beside him. She had also woken up, and was looking at him in shock. Seeing Leng Tong looking at her, Madam Leng asked anxiously: Husband, what's going on outside?

Leng Tong shook his head and said, Our Leng Clan has been far away from trouble for a long time, so there shouldn't be any enemies that would come knocking. However, seeing that the situation is not good, the good will not come. Go wake Little Jun up and take him to the storage room behind the house to hide for a bit. I'll go out and see what the situation is.

Hearing Leng Tong's words, Madam Leng quickly got up and draped his clothes over his shoulders. At the same time, he warned, Be careful in everything!

Leng Tong smiled gently at the lady, and said: Don't worry, I will return!

With that, Leng Tong took out the longsword he had stored under the bed for a long time, and after turning around, he walked out of the room with a stern expression.

Outside Leng Tong's house, the group of masked knights had already sealed the exterior of his house. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, asked another person beside him, Is this the place?

The person nodded and said, Yes, it's here.

Two rays of cold light shot out from the eyes of the leader before he coldly said to the others, Attack!

The moment the words left his mouth, the group of black clad Knights all flipped over, some flipped over the academy walls, and some directly kicked open the gate of Leng Tong's residence and rushed into the courtyard.

It just so happened that Leng Tong was already walking out of his room with his sword in hand. Seeing this group of masked people charging into his courtyard like fiends, Leng Tong was fearless, and asked with a calm face: My friends, you have all come late at night to visit. But isn't it rude of you to kick the door in without the permission of the owner?

The black-clothed man who had answered the chief's question earlier let out a frightening cold laugh after hearing what Leng Tong said, My surname is Leng, I believe you have already guessed the reason why several masters have come to visit you late at night with the rain falling. If you hand it over wisely, maybe I'll be kind enough to leave you with a complete corpse. Otherwise, hehe …"

Although the man in black didn't finish his sentence, the meaning in his words was obvious. After Leng Tong finished listening, he said without changing his expression, What is it? Please forgive me for not understanding what you mean, but please explain."

The black clothed man coldly snorted and said, Stop pretending. Since this grandpa has found this place, of course I have already figured out your background. If you continue to pretend like this, then there's no meaning, I am talking about [Earth Yin Devil Records]. "

Leng Tong was stunned when he heard the four words Earth Yin Devil Records. The Earth Yin Devil Records was a peerless secret manual that recorded the secrets of the Earth Demon spirit energy. Leng Tong knew this very well. However, this《 Earth Yin Devil Records》 had long since disappeared from this world along with the《 Earth Demon》 after the War of Gods and Demons more than a hundred years ago.

< The Earth Yin Devil Records > has already disappeared for a hundred years, why would it be with me? I think you must have found the wrong person, right?

Leng, if you insist on not handing over < The Earth Yin Devil Records >, don't blame me for being vicious.

Hmph, the《 Earth Yin Devil Records》 is indeed not in my hands, if you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it. If you have anything, just use it. Although I, Leng Tong have lived in seclusion for many years, I am not someone to be trampled upon.

What big words you have there! Today, let's see just how capable this previous Sect Master of your Nanqiao Sect is.

While he was speaking, the black clothed man ordered the others: Search around, I've found the《 Earth Yin Devil Records》.

The black clothed men were clearly well-trained, but after hearing the order, they did not reply. Instead, they spread out and headed towards Leng Tong's home, searching in all directions. In the courtyard, only the black clothed man and his four subordinates were left, standing opposite of Leng Tong, who was blocking the entrance of the main house.

The four underlings behind the man in black clothing moved forward, but were stopped by the man in black clothing.

Leave this guy to me. You guys can just stay at the side and fight.

The four black-clothed men nodded and replied Yes before floating to the side, passing the center of the courtyard to Leng Tong and the black-clothed man.

The black clothed man spoke to Leng Tong once again: That's surnamed Leng, let's spar a bit more!

Leng Tong knew in his heart that the things that happened today would not be good. The other party had the numbers advantage, so he himself was at an absolute disadvantage. The person he was talking to seemed to be the leader among them. If they could restrain him, they might have a chance of survival.

Thinking about that, Leng Tong did not speak further. Pushing both his legs back forcefully, he raised his sword with his right hand, and thrusted the sword in his hand towards the black clothed man.

The black clothed man did not expect Leng Tong to make a move so suddenly, his feet staggered, and he retreated a few steps in panic before blocking with his sword.

The man in black seemed unprepared as he attacked in a hurry. However, the person hidden under the mask recently smiled evilly. At the same time, he winked at his comrades who were standing on both sides of him.

CHAPTER 2 - HEART

Leng Tong saw that the masked man was winking at his comrade, and knew in his heart that the situation was bad. Sure enough, the four masked men who were originally standing on both sides of the courtyard took the opportunity to rush towards the door behind Leng Tong when he was about to rush out.

Leng Tong secretly cursed in his heart: Not good! He wanted to turn around and stop the four masked men from entering the main hall, because his wife and children were still inside.

But how could it be so easy to stop them? The masked man fighting with had already guessed what Leng Tong was thinking. Seeing that Leng Tong wanted to retreat, the sword in his hand suddenly released a burst of attacks, causing Leng Tong to have no choice but to raise his sword to block.

After the fight, the four masked men had already kicked open the door and rushed into the room. Seeing that he was powerless to stop them, Leng Tong could only focus his mind to deal with the masked man in front of him. He hoped that he could do as he had thought before and capture the leader first. At the same time, he prayed that his wife and children had left the main house and hid in the storage room behind it as he had said.

Although Leng Tong's warehouse was not a solid fortress, the sturdy iron door could at least delay these masked men for a while, so that he would have time to capture the leader of these masked men.

However, things were not going as he had imagined. Not to mention that the masked man's strength was not inferior to his, and he had purposely wanted to pester him, so it would not be easy for him to capture him in one fell swoop. And in the house behind him, came another wave of female shouts, making people even more anxious. They couldn't stop begging their wives and children not to be caught by the other party.

There is a saying that the more you don't want to happen, the more likely it is that it will happen in the worst case. The door to the main room was opened again, and the four masked men came out with Lady Leng under their pressure.

Seeing that the person who was forced out was only his wife and not his own son, Leng Tong became even more flustered.

Just then, Madam Leng saw Leng Tong in the courtyard and suddenly cried: Husband, Jun'er … Wu wu wu … Jun-er, he's gone.

Leng Tong only heard the first half of his wife's sentence and thought that her guess was correct.

When the masked man saw that Leng Tong's state of mind was affected, he was not willing to let go of such a great opportunity. After dodging Leng Tong's chaotic attack, he stabbed the sword in his hand towards Leng Tong's right shoulder.

When Leng Tong realized that something was wrong, it was already too late to dodge. The masked man's sword had already pierced through Leng Tong's body, leaving a bloody hole on his right shoulder.

Leng Tong only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and his entire arm could no longer exert any strength, as the long sword in his hand drooped down along with his arm.

The masked man did not stop after his attack, he immediately leaped and kicked Leng Tong's injured right shoulder twice. Leng Tong could not help but give a bang! Bang! Bang! After taking a few steps back, he finally fell to the ground.

The masked man did not give chase, but walked to the side of the four masked men holding Lady Leng down. Then, he placed the blood stained longsword in his hand onto Lady Leng's neck, and said to Leng Tong: What do you think, are you still not planning to hand over the《 Earth Yin Devil Records s》?

His wife had fallen into the hands of the thieves, his youngest son was nowhere to be seen, and he had been injured by the thieves. Leng Tong no longer had the heart nor the strength to fight with the masked man. He used his sword to support his body up from the ground, and said with a lonely face: The《 Earth Yin Devil Records》 that you mentioned is really not in my hands. If you don't believe it, you can take my worthless life. I just beg you, please don't hurt my family.

The masked man let out another dark sneer and said: How can you die so easily? If you don't hand over the《 Earth Yin Devil Records》, I will make you live a life worse than death.

Leng Tong laughed miserably, saying, I don't have anything that you want at all. How do you want me to give it to you?

The masked man was not angry, but he laughed and said, I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. If that's the case, then don't blame me. Although this woman looked to be in her early thirties, she still had some looks to her. Moreover, he said he's thirty like a wolf and forty like a tiger. Just this coquettish power is enough to let us brothers enjoy it for a while.

After saying that, the masked man removed the long sword from Lady Leng's neck. Then, he turned to the masked men behind Lady Leng and said, I'll leave this slut to you all. We can exchange it for the other brothers after this. I'd like to see when this bastard will be willing to speak the truth.

When the four masked men heard him say this, they also let out lewd laughs. One of them even said, I don't want him to say it so quickly, so that the brothers can have a good time.

When the other three heard this, they also agreed and began to pull Madam Leng, wanting to pull her back into the main room.

Although Madam Leng was greatly frightened, she felt uneasy when she saw her husband's state of mind was disrupted by her words. In the end, he had even been injured by the bandits. After hearing the masked man's obscenities, how could the usually tough Madam Leng be willing to be humiliated? She suddenly broke away from his grasp.

The masked man who held on to Madam Leng did not expect her to have such great strength, and in an instant, she managed to break free from his grasp. Madam Leng did not flee after struggling free. Instead, she directly knocked against the longsword in the hands of the person who had just injured her husband.

The long sword easily pierced through Madam Leng's chest. Blood flowed from the tip of the sword, instantly dying the ground beneath her feet red.

When the masked man holding the sword saw that Lady Leng had died under his sword, he did not show any mercy on his face. It was as if the death of the person in front of him had nothing to do with him.

On the other hand, the masked man who had grabbed Lady Leng just now regretfully said, What a pity, I haven't even tasted anything.

Although the masked man holding the sword didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, he still felt a trace of regret. This Madam Leng had been an important bargaining chip of his, but now he had died under his sword. This way, it would be even more difficult for Leng Tong to figure out the whereabouts of the《 Earth Yin Devil Records》.

Thinking about this, he coldly said to the masked man, What's a pity, she's not the only woman in this village. Hurry up and find the things, and then I'll let you enjoy yourselves.

Hearing this, the masked man's interest was piqued again. He replied with a Yes before returning to the room with the other three to search around.

After the masked man finished speaking, he turned around to look at Leng Tong. He did not want this final clue to lead to anything unexpected. But when he saw Leng Tong's expression, he couldn't help but frown.

CHAPTER 3 - NO CHANCE OF WINNING

Witnessing his wife die from strangulation, Leng Tong stood up once again. He placed the sword on his left hand, then raised his left arm and pointed it at the murderer of his wife.

The masked man raised his head to look at Leng Tong, a strange fear suddenly arose in his heart. He was already covered in blood and was standing on the verge of collapsing, Leng Tong. However, the masked man felt as if Leng Tong had become a completely different person, a person who was so strong that he had no chance of winning.

The masked man shook his head, trying hard to regain some clarity. Logic told him that the person in front of him was still the Leng Tong whose arm he had crippled. He raised the sword in his hand, planning to cripple Leng Tong's left arm.

There was also another person who felt that Leng Tong was different, and that was the true leader of the masked people who had always been standing on top of Leng Tong's wall. It was just that he could see it much clearer than the masked man fighting against Leng Tong, and his heart was filled with even more shock. Because he saw that the Leng Tong who had stood up once again, was currently emitting golden specks of light that were similar to fireflies out of his body.

Seeing this situation, the masked leader was secretly shocked. His experience was much higher than the masked man that was fighting with Leng Tong, but he could only feel that there was something wrong with Leng Tong's body, and could not immediately remember what the golden specks of light represented. However, the only thing he could be certain of was that Leng Tong's current condition was definitely abnormal, and extremely dangerous as well.

Just as the masked leader wanted to warn the masked man that was fighting with Leng Tong, Be careful! But before he could finish his sentence, the masked man's miserable cry came from the other side.

As the leader of the masked men was pondering about the golden specks of light on Leng Tong's body, the masked man had already taken the initiative to attack. This time, he had the same thought as before, which was to finish his opponent in the shortest amount of time possible. Because only by making Leng Tong lose the ability to resist, would he be able to let go of that uneasy heart.

However, this time it was his turn to think wrong, because he did not think that the uneasy feeling was not his imagination. Now, the one he was facing was no longer the Leng Tong whose arm he had crippled.

The masked man's sword was aimed at Leng Tong's left shoulder. This time, he used all his strength, he planned to not even give Leng Tong the chance to dodge.

But to his surprise, not only did Leng Tong not dodge, he charged straight at him. And the sword in Leng Tong's hand, pierced towards his right arm that was holding the sword.

This was simply a battle of life versus death. Even if the masked man could cripple one of Leng Tong's arms, he himself was afraid that he would not be able to hold onto his sword anymore.

Naturally, the masked man was unwilling to trade one of his arms for the other's. In any case, the person in front of him was like a turtle in a jar. Why should I fight with him? If he were to be bitten back, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?

With this thought in mind, the masked man naturally hesitated for a moment with the sword in his hand. Just as he was hesitating, Leng Tong's sword tip had already arrived.

The masked man realized that it was not good, and by the time he wanted to dodge, it was already too late. Although the sword in Leng Tong's hand did not touch the masked man's body, the golden light spots that were emitted from his body just now were already focused on the tip of his sword. At this moment, the golden spots of light had already gathered together, forming a golden light.

As the long sword was thrust out, the golden light shot out like a bolt of lightning towards the masked man's shoulder. The masked man only saw a golden light flash before his eyes, and by the time he could react, his right arm was already gone.

It was only then that the masked man realized that Leng Tong had chopped off his entire arm, and a miserable scream came out of his mouth.

Leng Tong was obviously unsatisfied with just cutting off one of the masked man's arm. He raised his left arm, and the treasure sword in his left hand swept towards the masked man's neck.

Ding dang

A sound of metal colliding rang, and another person appeared in front of Leng Tong, blocking his sword that was flying towards the masked man with a broken arm.

Leader of Nanqiao Sect is indeed extraordinary, let me experience your abilities!

The one who spoke was the leader of the masked men who had been standing on the wall, watching the battle. The one who saved the masked man with the severed arm was naturally also him.

Leng Tong's consciousness had already become a little blurry, he clearly did not hear what the masked man's leader said. The longsword was blocked, causing his already tottering body to involuntarily stagger back two steps before regaining its balance.

Although Leng Tong did not hear what the masked leader said, he understood one thing clearly, that the people who easily covered their faces were in the same group. And these people were all his wife's killers. The only thing he could do now was to kill them all to avenge his wife.

As a result, Leng Tong did not even think about what the masked leader had said, and directly thrusted the sword in his hand towards the masked leader.

Just like before, the golden light emitted by Leng Tong's body gathered on the sword in his hand once again and turned into a golden light. However, this time, the light was much dimmer than before.

Seeing this, the masked leader felt more at ease. So Leng Tong had only burned his own Natal Elemental Energy to make the last strike, it was not what he had thought it would be.

Even so, Leng Tong was actually able to produce Sword Qi, it was clear that his strength was not ordinary. If not for the death of Leng Tong's wife, it would really be difficult to control them.

Thinking of this, the masked leader couldn't help but sigh. Natal Elemental Energy, as its name implies, was the source of life. Once the Natal Elemental Energy was completely burnt up, it would signify the end of their life. The golden colored Sword Qi of Leng Tong's sword became dimmer and dimmer, which indicated that his Natal Elemental Energy s were decreasing.

Once Natal Elemental Energy began to burn, the result would be irreversible. There was only one outcome for Leng Tong, and that was death. And Leng Tong who had died was of no use to the leader of the masked men.

The leader of the masked men knew that Leng Tong was definitely going to die, so he did not waste any more energy to capture him. At the same time, he did not want to be bitten like the masked man with a broken arm. Thus, he could only constantly dodge and not attack Leng Tong.

But at this time, Leng Tong had almost completely lost all of his consciousness, and all he could do was mechanically launch continuous attacks at his targets. However, with each thrust of his sword, the golden light on the edge of the sword would grow dimmer, and his body duller. And his life also slowly faded away bit by bit. Until the very end, the light on the edge of the sword no longer shone, his body no longer moved, and his life had already come to an end.

CHAPTER 4 - LIFE

The leader of the masked men watched as Leng Tong's life ended step by step, until his body finally crashed onto the ground, turning into an ice-cold corpse. His eyes did not reveal any trace of sympathy or pity. In his opinion, life and death was nothing out of the ordinary. The only emotion that was revealed in his eyes was a trace of regret.

After all, only first-rate experts would be able to burn their own Natal Elemental Energy, and the amount of sword Qi that could cause Natal Elemental Energy to produce was even fewer. If they did not meet in this situation, the masked leader really wanted to exchange pointers with Leng Tong for their true strength.

The masked men, who were searching all over the place in Leng Tong's family, gradually gathered back in the courtyard. Indeed, without Leng Tong as a clue, they had nothing.

The leader of the masked men let the two men carry the masked man with the severed arm and left to heal. He then said to the other masked men in the courtyard, Kill all the villagers and burn down the village for me. Since we can't get it, then we can't let Earth Yin Devil Records land in the hands of others. No matter how deep and secret the《 Earth Yin Devil Records》 is hidden, I still want it to turn into ashes under the fire. "

After the masked leader finished speaking, the man in black who had attempted to disrespect Lady Leng hastily spoke, Leader, we brothers have travelled all the way from the North Atlantic, we did not even have the time to rest, much less have the smell of makeup. Do you think those ladies in the village should stay behind and let the brothers deal with them after the meat is cooked?

After hearing his subordinate's words, the masked leader's eyes also flashed with a lustful look. However, in front of his subordinates, he did not want to show too much arrogance and thus lost the dignity in his subordinates' hearts.

Thus, he coldly snorted and said, Truly useless. All day long, he has been thinking about this sort of thing. After dawn we'll leave, and before that we'll do whatever you want to be happy."

After saying that, the leader of the masked men jumped over the wall and lightly landed on the back of the horse. Then, he pinched his legs and urged his mount to leave the Leng Village.

The leader's last words clearly showed that he agreed to his subordinate's request. After the masked leader left, these black clothed people began to brutally ravage the Leng Village.

The Leng Clan originally belonged to the Nanqiao Sect, but after they went into seclusion, most of their clansmen abandoned martial arts and went back to farming. A few generations later, they would still practice some body strengthening techniques. However, compared to these criminals, who killed without blinking, it was like a toddler encountering an adult who walked as fast as if he was flying. They were simply too weak to withstand a single blow.

In a very short period of time, more than three hundred people had gathered in the Leng Village. Among them, all the men and children were killed, and the women were gathered together by the masked men, repeatedly insulting and ravaging them! It wasn't until the first rays of the morning light that all the women in the village were tortured to the point that they couldn't even be considered human anymore. Only then did they wave their swords to end the miserable lives of these women.

Following that, just like the leader of the masked men had ordered, a big fire had burned down the originally peaceful and tranquil Leng Village.

When Leng Jun woke up, there was a lot of daylight already. He didn't know if it was because of last night's rain that caused his small body to be infected by the cold wind. He only felt that his head was a little heavy. He slept until noon.

Leng Jun crawled out of the cave. The dark clouds had already dispersed outside the cave, changing into blue sky, white clouds, and that warm red sun. Although Leng Jun did not manage to catch the big green head that he wanted, the bright and sunny weather after the rain was enough to greatly improve his mood.

Leng Jun took in a few large gulps of fresh air, his dazed little mind also becoming a lot more refreshed. Looking at the time, it should be noon soon. His parents must be extremely anxious since they couldn't find him. If he went back now, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to avoid a meal of stir-frying bamboo shoots and shredded meat.

Although he was afraid of being punished by his parents, that rumbling stomach made him have to face reality. He patted his belly and chuckled, Forget it. It's not like I've never been beaten up before. I can't let you down no matter what.

Even though Leng Jun was only seven years old, he was extremely smart, and knew many things that should have been known only at his age. However, most intelligent children had a common problem, which was that they were all particularly mischievous. Leng Jun was naturally no exception. Although he was only seven years old, he was already the child in charge of the village.

Under his leadership, all the children in the village did many bad things. And after doing these 'bad things', a 'bamboo shoot stir-fried shredded meat' was inevitable. Therefore, even though he was only seven years old, this kind of beating was already a common occurrence for him.

Leng Jun skipped a few steps towards the village chief. Before he even reached the village, he could smell the thick smell of smoke from far away. There was also a burnt smell mixed in with the smoke.

Leng Jun's stomach was already growling from hunger to begin with, but after smelling the smell, he instinctively thought: Whose family has fought wild game again? Judging by the strong smell of the smoke, isn't he quite big?"

Aside from farming, the villagers of Leng Village would also often go hunting together. And every time someone hunted down a large prey, they would gather the entire village and enjoy it according to the traditions of the Leng Village. The most commonly used cooking method was to roast the prey.

When he thought about the wild game that would make him salivate, Leng Jun suddenly became excited. In front of everyone in the village, his mother wouldn't have brought out that plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots and shredded meat, right?

Thinking about how he could eat delicious barbecue, and about how it would spare him the pain of having meat, Leng Jun excitedly sprinted towards the village chief's direction.

However, when he circled around a mountain ridge, the scene in front of him stunned him.

What appeared before him was not only the crowd that was not waiting for the barbecue as he had imagined, but also the beautiful and cheerful little village that he remembered. What replaced it was a charred piece of land. Like the land, it had been burned down to broken walls and ruins.

In the entire Leng Village, there was not a single towering building, not a single intact courtyard, nor even a single strand of life. There was only the unfinished wood, occasionally emitting the crackling sounds of sparks.

Father!

Mother!

Leng Jun tried his best to overcome the incomparably intense fear in his heart as he trembled and called out to his parents. However, no matter how much he shouted, no one responded.

Leng Jun used the memories in his mind to find his home. The original house had long since disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes in front of him.

Father, mother!

Still no one responded to him.

Leng Jun did not care about the blisters on his hands that were still burnt from the burning of wood, nor did he care about the smoke that was still burning his eyes red and swollen from his tears, as he searched for his parents in his home that was already burnt to ashes. In the end, however, he found only two charred corpses.

Although the corpse could not be distinguished by its face, it was almost impossible to tell whether it was a corpse or not. However, his intuition told him that those two piles of ashes were his parents.

A child of only seven years, no matter how smart or knowledgeable he was, he was still a child. He could no longer control himself and sat down on the ground, bawling.

CHAPTER 5 - OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE OF LENG

One of the large towns south of Heavenly God Continent, in the early morning in Tianxing City.

It had been three days since Leng Jun left the Leng Village, and he had finally arrived at the town closest to the Leng Village. This was the only place he knew of, other than the Leng Village. Because the first time, and also the only time he had left the Leng Village, was when he was going to have a gathering with his parents in Profound Sky City.

Although Leng Jun was still young, he was extremely intelligent. He knew that the deaths of his parents and his fellow villagers in Leng Village would definitely not be an accident. Although he did not have any words like revenge seeking or killing, his intuition told him that he would still be in danger if he continued to stay in the Leng Village. So he spent three days burying his parents and his fellow villagers with his own hands. Then, relying on his strong willpower, he spent three days dragging his exhausted body to the only town he knew of.

Leng Jun actually didn't know why he had come here; he did not have a clear destination. Because in this world, aside from Leng Village, he did not have any other family members. The only thing he knew was that there would be people here, a lot of people.

All the people he knew had vanished from his life in a single night. He didn't know why, he just felt scared. During the three days of burying the Leng Village villagers, he could not hear anyone's voice. He felt fear — fear of loneliness.

Thus, he came to Tianxing City, a place filled with people. Perhaps he felt that only in places with people would the fear in his heart lessen a little.

However, even after entering Profound Sky City, the fear in Leng Jun's heart did not decrease by even a little. As he looked at the strangers passing by, he felt even more lonely.

Leng Jun was like a walking corpse as he aimlessly walked along the streets of Sky Profound City. It wasn't until he saw the iron gate that he finally felt a trace of warmth in his heart.

In Leng Jun's impression, the warehouse in his home also had such a large iron gate. Seeing this iron door, Leng Jun finally found a familiar smell. He walked to the iron gate and sat on the steps, leaning his little head against it.

The metal door was extremely cold, but Leng Jun could feel waves of warmth in his heart. The feeling of fear gradually disappeared, and a warm feeling slowly rose from within his heart.

Leng Jun's taut heartstrings finally relaxed. Maybe it was because he was really too tired, or maybe it was because he hadn't eaten for a long time, but Leng Jun's body was already extremely weak. He leaned against the metal door, feeling the warmth that he hadn't felt in a long time. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

With a creaking sound, the iron gate was opened by someone.

It was an old servant of the family. Every morning, he would open the door and clean up the place.

Without the support of the steel door, Leng Jun's tiny body fell
