In the troubled times of the ten directions, the Martial Saint in the world!

Jiangnan Prefecture, Changledian.

When the sun sets, Xiao Gao is already up and busy.

At this moment, a crisp doorbell rang.

Xiao Gao said while busying himself: "Sir, you are here too early. Our Changle store is not open for business yet."

"I haven't been here for many years, so I came here on purpose. I hope you don't mind if I disturb you." Warm and gentle words sounded.

Ok?
Foreigner?
Xiao Gao raised his head slightly, and what came into his sight were two tall and burly figures. Their clothing and appearance were quite different from those of the common people in the Tang Dynasty.

The one on the left hand side was a young man with eyes covered by black curtains and engraved with ancient tattoos. Behind him, there was a pair of dark wings like a ghostly demon that slowly closed, and the dark green flames dissipated. The aura was dark, like an iceberg;
The one on the right is a young man in a white robe wearing a monocle and holding an oak snake staff. He has an elegant and gentle temperament, and is extremely bright!

"Oh, you two guests are from outsiders, right? This is the first time that we have outsiders visiting our Changle restaurant. Please sit for a while and just let us know what you would like to eat. Although our Changle restaurant is not a famous restaurant, it has been passed down for seven generations and is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. It has quite a reputation." Xiao Gao patted his chest and said proudly.

The young man with dark eyes and tattoos asked softly, "Are you not afraid of me?"

“What is there to be afraid of? In all the heavens and worlds, all human beings are under the command of the Human Emperor! What’s more, our world of immortality is often visited by outsiders. Although I am young and have not seen many foreign guests, I have heard of them in the virtual space of all realms. Not to mention that you two are just wearing strange clothes, I have also seen the mermaid lineage.” Xiao Gao chuckled.

"My name is 'Qiu' and his name is 'Han'. We are indeed guests from outer space. The purpose of our visit here today is to thank Mr. Chen Wu. However, we are new here and do not have the local currency. Our planet was just liberated this year and became under the command of the Human Emperor." The young man in white robe said very gently.

Chen Wu?

Xiao Gao's eyes suddenly focused, and he exclaimed, "The current head of the Great Tang Empire's Taibu Division? The great master of the Creation Realm? You, you actually recognize that master?"

At this moment, there seemed to be a blazing fire in Xiao Gao's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Sir, can you tell me the story of your hometown? As long as you have stories and wine, this meal will be my treat."

Today, information is flowing throughout the heavens and all worlds because of the existence of the Human Emperor's Order.

In today's world, many secrets of the past are almost known to everyone.

Therefore, a little story that few people know about is particularly attractive.

"Our story?"

The young man in white robe named Qiu pondered and said, "Our world is a blue planet in the depths of the vast universe. Four hundred and fifty years ago, due to the nuclear war between the two empires, 17,000 nuclear warheads exploded on the earth, and the whole world fell into an endless abyss overnight. Due to the influence of nuclear radiation, many creatures in the world have completely mutated. At the same time, because of the simultaneous detonation of 17,000 nuclear warheads, the space was distorted, thus opening a void door leading to the netherworld."

"Instantly, endless Zerg appeared in the human world and began to devour our compatriots. Overnight, the global population dropped from one billion to two billion. Many cities fell, and more survivors gathered together and hid in the base cities of major empires."

As he spoke, a hint of sadness flashed across Qiu's eyes.

"Then, what should we do? Aren't there any practitioners in the Dharmakaya realm in your empire? Aren't there even any Qi Refiners? Since it's a matter of life and death, what are you afraid of? Why should you let yourself be slaughtered?" Xiao Gao said anxiously, his hands clenched into fists at this moment.

There was a hint of helplessness in Han's eyes, and he said softly: "There are no practitioners in our world! All we can rely on is the so-called technological products! My father was a fighter pilot. In the battle with the Zerg, the entire flight company they were in was devoured by the giant insects! More than a hundred people died on the spot. We also resisted, but our strength was too weak."

Xiao Gao's lips trembled slightly, and he whispered, "Yes, I'm sorry I didn't know this, I said too much, I'm really sorry!"

"It's all in the past, why do you still care about it?" A bitter smile flashed across Han's stern face, and he said slowly: "Due to the influence of nuclear radiation and basic mutations, our world began to study life genes, tap into people's life potential, and developed the so-called super-powered mutant warriors."

"Every young person, at the age of eighteen, must participate in mutant warrior training and awaken superpowers."

and then?
Xiao Gao asked intently.

"In an accident, Qiu and I stepped into an ancient door to the void. There, we met a special life that called itself the 'Sun King'! It called itself an ancient god, a follower of the ancient god 'Mother of the Unborn', and also the old master trapped in the void." Han spoke as if reminiscing.

Mother of No Birth?

Xiao Gao's expression suddenly changed, and he cried out in shock, "That's one of the evil gods appointed by the imperial court! In today's Tang Dynasty, all incense and sacrifices to this god are prohibited!"

"That's right! We also know that this god is an ancient evil god who represents disaster. But under the circumstances at the time, we had no choice. For us who were in desperate situation, that was an opportunity! Therefore, Han, several close friends and I signed a contract with this god and embarked on the so-called road to the starry sky!" Qiu said with emotion.

Starry road?

Xiao Gao blinked in confusion and asked hurriedly, "So how are you doing now? Have you gotten rid of this evil god? If not, it doesn't matter. I'll report to the police right now!"

"Hehe, we have long since gotten rid of His control. Because later on, I met Yuanshi Tianzun." Qiu spoke slowly, with many longings and yearnings in his eyes.

Wha, what?
Original Heavenly Lord?

Xiao Gao was so frightened that he dropped the wine glass in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Which Yuanshi Tianzun?"

"The eighth ancient being in the world, the Supreme Saint Emperor of the human race, the number one martial arts saint through the ages, and the Jade Purity Zixu Gaomiao Taishang Yuanhuang Dao Lord of the Yuxu Palace." Qiu said with a faint smile.

You, you!
Have you actually seen the old man Yuanshi Tianzun?
There was shock and longing in Xiao Gao's eyes.

He asked eagerly, "What is the Starry Sky Road you mentioned? How did you meet the old man Tianzun?"

"The Starry Sky Road, let me think about how to put it." Qiu thought for a moment and said, "It means that we accept the missions from the 'Sun King', and then explore different worlds one after another to improve our own strength. At the same time, we complete the missions given by the 'Sun King' and get enough rewards."

"As for how we met Tianzun, we have to start from the first time we set foot in this world!"

It was already noon when he walked out of Changle Store. Qiu could not forget the excitement and ecstasy of the young shopkeeper.

"It seems that our experience is still too exciting for him." Qiu teased softly.

At this moment, after the two of them walked into a garden, they felt extremely refreshed, with the cool air sweeping over their faces like a spring breeze, which was indescribably comfortable.

Looking up, autumn only sees green trees and rippling water. Among the lakes and mountains are dotted many pavilions and towers. The layout is extremely exquisite, corresponding to the nine stars in the sky above and the natural veins of the earth below. It is a layout made by skilled craftsmen.

"Nice place, nice layout." Qiu nodded slightly and sighed softly.

Now, he has already stepped into the realm of gods and demons and achieved the so-called realm of Dharmakaya. He can naturally perceive that beneath this seemingly peaceful garden scenery, there is an ancient and vast formation that has existed for many years.

At this time, a young man walked over, looked at the two of them, and said with a faint smile: "You two are guests from outer space. This must be your first visit to our Jiangnan area, right?"

"So that the two distinguished guests know, this garden is a famous place in our Jiangnan, named 'Qingzhu Garden', which was the ancestral property of the former Jiangnan Chen family. Later, a branch of the family split up and fell out of the main line. The descendants of the branch were both gamblers and lustful. Ten years later, they mortgaged this mansion to the court. Since then, it has become a place that anyone in the world can enter."

"Qingzhuyuan Jiangnan Chen Family." Qiu was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly, "But the legendary Jiangnan Chen Family? If I remember correctly, the Jiangnan Chen Family is a powerful family that suppresses the world, and the head of the family, Chen Ce, is in charge of the throne of the God Conferred, which is enough to become a great master of the Creation Realm. The family he belongs to is famous in all the heavens and worlds, so how could it end up like this?"

The young man chuckled and said slowly, "You don't know. That senior Chen Ce retired to the mountains and forests thirty years ago, striving for the realm of creation and cutting off worldly ties. In this world, there is no banquet that will never end, and there is no family that will never fail. Eleven years after the old man disappeared, the Chen family began to split up. At the same time, the family's decline also began from this moment!"

"Without the protection of our ancestors, all the bad deeds of the family disciples were reported! Some were arrested, some were exiled. The Jiangnan Chen family, which was once glorious and suppressed by many gods and Buddhas, has completely declined!"

Qiu was filled with emotion, looking up into the distance, and said with emotion: "I never thought that one day, the aristocratic family that was once ruled by a great master of the Creation Realm would also decline like this."

"Yes!" Han looked around and said softly, "As expected of one of the three great families in the world, it is indeed magnificent. Just this seemingly ordinary garden is enough to give us a glimpse of its heyday!!"

As they were talking, the young man smiled and said, "I see that you two are both extraordinary and outstanding people. It is fate that we meet today. How about a drink or two? What do you think?"

Qiu nodded slightly.

Han asked curiously, "Your Excellency's presence here is related to the Chen family?"

The young master sighed and said slowly: "To be honest, I am a descendant of the Jiangnan Chen family. However, my family has a miserable life. The foundation of our ancestors was squandered by the previous generation. By the time of my generation, we were already penniless and had nothing. Thanks to the rule of the Human Emperor, the inheritance of martial arts, and the extraordinary Human Emperor Order, I was able to achieve the realm of Dharmakaya with great difficulty. To be honest, now I can only set foot in such an old place and relive the glory of my family in the past."

As he was sighing, he noticed a carriage moving slowly outside the Green Bamboo Garden.

There is an ancient pattern on the car, which is the family logo of the Chen family in Jiangnan in the past.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and an old face with deep wrinkles at the corners of the eyes looked into the distance at the bamboo forest. His temples were gray, his temperament was vigorous, and there was a restrained brilliance in his eyes.

But at this moment, he is quite depressed and regretful.

The driver waited quietly without saying anything.

He was also very clear that his master, the current head of the Jiangnan Chen family, would stop and watch whenever he passed by this place, recalling the grandeur of the Chen family during its heyday.

"Let's go to Wuyou Building on Sanshan Street." The old man turned his head and closed his eyes, with a sense of dejection and loneliness in his words.

"Master, this is not a good idea. If we go to Sanshan Street again, the old lady will blame us, and your health will be affected." There was obvious concern in the driver's words.

"Oh, in this day and age, where else can I go if not to Sanshan Street? The academy, or the martial arts academy? Or should I go to see my ancestors with a shameless face?" The old man smiled bitterly and lay down on the backrest in a very decadent manner, at a loss as to what to do.

The driver said nothing, but gently waved the reins and carried the old man across the street to an extremely quiet little building.

The old man walked down slowly, walked to Wuyou Tower with ease, ordered a world-famous wine, and sat alone by the window.

While looking into the distance, he began to drink by himself.

"Sir, you seem to be a frustrated person?"

Qiu stepped into the room and asked in a calm voice.

The old man seemed to be used to it and motioned for them to sit down and drink.

When he was slightly drunk, the old man picked up the wine jug, slowly stood up and walked to the window.

He pointed at the majestic and rolling mountains in the distance and said loudly, "Do you know? That place was once the ancestral property of our Jiangnan Chen family! It is more than a thousand miles in radius, with countless natural treasures and inexhaustible rare treasures! Originally, they were all mine, and they all belonged to our family."

“But now, all of this is gone from me.”

"I long for the former world and the former human dynasty!"

"We, the aristocratic and powerful families at that time, will last for thousands of years!"

"With the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, all of this was gone."

"Today's world is indeed a good world for the common people! It is also a glorious world for the poor students! But for us, the former aristocratic families, we can only cry silently!"

"We are the ones forgotten by the world today!" (End of this chapter)
