1 Ye Wuchen

"Wake up, you have slept for too long, wake up …" In the boundless sea of consciousness, an ethereal voice came.

"Who … who is calling me?"

In the boundless darkness, he finally opened his eyes. In front of him, it was still a dark world.

Was it night?

He had a splitting headache. He subconsciously covered his head with his hand, shook it hard, and then began to look around.

It was a young man who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall and slender, dressed in a snow-white robe. His face was pale and handsome, and his eyes were confused and blurred, with an almost feminine femininity. But his eyes were cold and alert, like a sharp knife cutting through the night, instantly seeing through everything. His skin was sickly pale, and his long black hair hung naturally on both sides of his thin shoulders. Under the night, it was still faintly shining with a bright black luster. His fingers were long and slender, and his wrist bones were very thin. He looked completely like a scholar's hand, weak and powerless. In the Tianchen Continent where strength was respected, just his appearance alone would make people look down on him.

Where was this?

He didn't know how long he had been lying down. His body was as stiff as a stone, and it took a lot of effort for him to stand up. The surroundings were pitch-black, but in his eyes, it was as bright as day. This was a simple and small hut, and the fresh air was filled with the smell of straw. An old man's voice faintly came into his ears. He slightly frowned, moved his sore body, and then walked out with stiff steps.

It was a cloudless night in Wuchen, and under the night sky, seven or eight children were sitting around an old man, listening to him talk about the mythical story that he had heard countless times.

"… The invasion of the Demon Realm caused disasters everywhere on the continent, and people were plunged into misery and suffering. The four countries that were originally eyeing each other were forced to unite to resist the invasion of the Demon Realm, but the powerful Demon Realm was not something that humans could resist. When the continent was in a desperate situation, under the begging of humans, the God Realm finally sent a savior, and it was the only two daughters of the God Emperor. One of them was snow-white, with white hair and white clothes, and had a huge white wing. She was called the White Wing Messenger by the humans. The other was dressed in black, with black hair and black eyes, and had a demon-like black wing. She was called the Black Wing Messenger by the humans.

"Divine Emissary White Wing and Divine Emissary Black Wing used their powerful divine powers to expel the Fiends in a month. In the end, they fought a decisive battle with the Demon God in the north of the continent. Although that Demon God was only one of the Demon Generals under the Demon Emperor, he was extremely powerful. He was also the one who led a portion of the Demon Race to invade the continent. That battle lasted for three days and three nights, but no one knew the result. All the demons were expelled, and the Demon God and the Black and White Divine Envoys disappeared together after that battle, never to be heard from again. No one knew what the result would be. Some said that they perished together with the Devil God, while others said that they returned to the God Realm after killing the Devil God. Although this was a mystery that was hard to solve, the demons never appeared again after that, and the Black and White Oracles who saved the entire continent were remembered by the people of the continent. "

As the old man said this, he glanced at where he was, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. The youth's heart trembled. This was a gentle old man over seventy years of age, but his gaze just now was as cold as a hook, like lightning flashing in the dark night.

"Grandpa Chu, they are angels sent from the God Realm, they must be very beautiful, right?" a child asked with longing. His voice immediately aroused the curiosity of the children, several pairs of eyes gathered on the old man.

"Hehe, they should be. It's just that no one saw what they looked like at the time. The face of the God Envoy is not something a mortal can blaspheme, "the old man said with a chuckle.

The children all showed a disappointed expression. The old man smiled and said: "Kids, I will stop here for today, you can disperse first. When your big brother Daniu returns, I will call you."

The children immediately scattered like birds and beasts, they didn't even say goodbye to the old man. The old man stood up and walked to where he was with the help of a cane. His footsteps were steady and powerful, without the slightest sign of weakness, the cane was completely a decoration.

"You're awake," the old man looked at him up and down, his voice was old and calm.

He nodded and asked: "Where is this place?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, but didn't answer his question, he still said indifferently: "Back then, I saved you from the ravine in the west. At that time, you were still a seven or eight year old child, I used all kinds of methods to save you, but I couldn't wake you up. Then, you slept for a whole ten years, in these ten years, you didn't drink a drop of water, you didn't eat a single meal, but your life never showed signs of drying up, instead, you grew up in your sleep. I think I have seen extraordinary things, but I was also amazed for ten years. Young man, can you tell me your name and your origin? "

Ten years!?

He was shocked, but he immediately calmed down, suppressed the waves in his heart, and focused on searching his own memory.

What is my name? Who am I …

I was born in Hua Xia, my home is in the capital of Hua Xia, and my father is … Mother is … I am …

He filtered the memory fragments one by one, but he didn't find any memories about his past. He remembered the country he was born in, remembered everything about that country, and remembered everything he had learned, but he couldn't remember anyone and his past.

Selective amnesia? He covered his head that was hurting because of the confusion, and thought silently.

Why did he lose his memory, and before that, what had he experienced?

After a long silence, he sighed, put down his hands, and looked at the sky with soulless eyes. Maybe only the Heaven could tell him the answer.

The old man looked at his reaction thoughtfully.

A soft wind blew, bringing a refreshing coolness. A light leaf was carried by the wind, and slowly floated down. He subconsciously stretched out two fingers, and caught the light leaf between them, still looking at the moonless night sky of Wuchen. His action made the old man's eyes flicker, showing a trace of puzzlement.

Without memory, there would be no past, just like a fallen leaf, destined to drift, unable to find its way back. He sighed, flicked the leaf away, and said sadly: "My name is Ye — Wuchen!"

"Is that your real name?" The old man said with a smile.

Ye Wuchen smiled slightly: "Before I find my real name, my name is Ye Wuchen."

"I see, that's a pity. But you're not an ordinary person, maybe it won't take long for you to find your past, "said the old man. His series of reactions had already made him guess that he had lost his memory, so he couldn't find out his origin. If it was more than ten years ago, he would use all methods to find out everything about this mysterious young man, but now he was old, and after being locked in this barrier for more than ten years, his heart was tired.

"Old man, how should I address you?" Ye Wuchen looked at the old man and asked.

"Address? Hehe, for an old man with one foot in the grave, even I have forgotten my name. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Chu like the others, or call me old man, "said the old man with a smile.

Knowing that he didn't want to say his name, Ye Wuchen smiled indifferently: "Alright then, Grandpa Chu, I will repay you for saving my life in the future."

The old man shook his head, sat down on the grass next to Ye Wuchen, and said: "I only saved you, a freak, and took up a sleeping spot. It's not a life-saving favor. If you were an ordinary person, these ten years would be enough for you to die thousands of times. "

Ye Wuchen also sat down next to him. Although his body was still a little stiff, he could already move as usual. "No matter what, you are my great benefactor. Grandpa Chu, where is this place? How far is it from Jinghua City? "

"Jinghua City? What is that place? "The old man turned his face and asked in confusion.

Ye Wuchen slightly frowned and said: "Jinghua City is naturally the capital of Hua Xia country. Is this not the country of Hua Xia?"

But they were clearly using the language of Hua Xia.

The old man shook his head: "I have traveled to every corner of the continent in the past, but I have never heard of a place called Hua Xia country. Young man, when a person loses his memory, the fragments of his memory are often illusory. Perhaps what you have obtained is only a fake memory. "

"Is that so?" Ye Wuchen closed his eyes and pondered for a while. Then he asked: "What kind of place are we in?"

"The place we humans live is called the Tianchen Continent. Outside the continent is the Tianchen Ocean. The space we are in is divided into five parts by land and five parts by sea. The Tianchen Continent is divided into four countries: Dafeng Country, Tenryū Province, Sunflower Water Country, and Navy Tide Country. Among them, Dafeng Country is the most powerful. The other three countries can only contend with it if they unite, and thus maintain the current stable balance. " After the old man finished speaking, his old eyes revealed a yearning look. He had not looked down on the world for too long.

Tianchen Continent?

Ye Wuchen's mind was in a mess. Then what was the Hua Xia and the earth in his memory? Was it an illusory memory, or …

He had traveled from the earth to this unknown space!

He thought of a word in his memory — travel.

"Is the language here common?" Ye Wuchen asked.

"That's right."

"Then where are we now?"

The old man was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "This is the extreme north of Tenryū Province, a forgotten and sealed area. It has existed for a long, long time. Back then, everyone in Tenryū Province knew about this place. Once you enter, you will never be able to leave. But fifteen years ago, I intruded into this place without knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. I have never left and even implicated my grandson. Now, fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. "

Seeing the surprised look on Ye Wuchen's face, the old man continued: "That year, after I intruded, I discovered that there is no natural disaster or fierce beast here. Instead, there is a powerful enchantment around this place. One can enter but not leave. These years, I don't know how many times I have tried, but I can't shake the enchantment at all. I can only guard this place and spend my remaining days. And everyone here is the same. There is no hope of leaving, so they can only settle down here, survive and multiply. "

Ye Wuchen's expression stiffened for a while, and he did not speak for a long time.

In a sealed area, if he could not leave, how could he find his own past and life's trajectory? Could it be that he could only settle down here like them?

No!
