Chapter 1: Rainy Night, Let You See [Nothingness]
huh-huh-

The sound of heavy breathing echoed in the endless darkness, and a tall and thin figure moved aimlessly in it.

[Do you still remember... why Izumo forged a sword? ]

A deep male voice echoed in the darkness, but it was impossible to tell where the sound came from.

The tall and thin figure did not stop, but she made a sound.

Her voice sounded hollow, but it couldn't hide the sadness in it.

"A long, long time ago, [Eight Million Gods] came to this world, killing common people and bringing disaster to the world. In order to save the world..."

[Until... they are all broken! The price of every victory is everything in the world...]

[So do you still remember why Izumo forged a sword? ]

"For a lie, a destination that never exists, we have already fallen into its shadow. Every step forward, we cannot turn back..."

"The end will be faced with..."

【nothingness!】

In the endless darkness, a spot of light suddenly appeared.

Then came the second, the third... The light spots entangled with each other and expanded wildly at an incredible speed.

Purple, blue, red...

The light spots have many colors, but when entangled together, they form a special form that is incomprehensible and indescribable. When you look at it for a moment, you will feel that your body and soul are gone.

In just a moment, the entangled nothingness swallowed up the endless darkness.

A flash of white light swept across the field of vision.

【You will also face nothingness! 】

……

"No! Don't!!"

Li Xingyi woke up from his dream with a scream, grabbed the edge of the bed and turned over to sit up. His clothes and quilt were already soaked with sweat.

Hua Hua Hua——

The sound of heavy rain came from all directions. It was another stormy night.

"Is it another rainy night?"

Looking out through the window, Li Xingyi saw the strange vortex in the sky, like the nothingness entangled in a dream. It had many colors but was indescribable and extremely strange.

In fact, this was not the first time he had seen such a scene.

Five and a half years ago, he was an employee of a small company. His hobby was to read online articles in his spare time. However, because he was immersed in a novel while crossing the road, he was hit and killed by a car that ran a red light.

When he opened his eyes again, he came to this strange world and became a newborn baby.

Li Xingyi's parents often took him out for walks, so it didn't take long for Li Xingyi to find out where this was.

This is Douluo Continent!
Based on the style of the buildings, Li Xingyi roughly estimated that it should be around the time of the Unrivaled Tang Sect.

He accepted it all very quickly.

He was looking forward to turning six years old soon so that he could awaken his martial soul.

Being hit by a car and reborn in a different world, isn’t this a perfect template for the protagonist?
Li Xingyi has even deduced his own eventful life in his mind.

But after a rainy night half a year ago, Li Xingyi seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and he would recall that strange and weird dream every rainy night.

Even after experiencing it several times, I still get scared when I see it again. Every time I wake up, I see the strange vortex in the sky.

He also told his parents and close relatives.

But without exception, they all thought that Li Xingyi was just a child and had seen it wrong.

They couldn't see the strange vortex in Li Xing's mouth, so naturally they couldn't believe it. ...

The next day.

A ray of dazzling morning light shone through the window onto Li Xingyi's face. The blinding light woke him up, and instantly a feeling of fatigue swept over his body from bottom to top, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hey~ I said I would just wait until dawn, but I didn't expect that I couldn't help falling asleep as soon as the rain stopped. Maybe it's really because I have the body of a child."

Li Xingyi couldn't help but complain a few words, then simply tidied up the bed and clothes before heading to the main hall.

His parents were not talented soul masters and had made very little achievement in cultivation.

But the two of them were particularly outstanding in business. They started from scratch and became legendary businessmen with a high reputation in Shrek City.

They could not help Li Xingyi as a soul master, but they always gave Li Xingyi the best in other aspects.

"Are you awake? Then come over and have dinner. The food has been left out for too long and is almost getting cold." Li Xingyi's mother waved her hand and said.

"Ah."

Li Xingyi walked to the dining table and sat down. Due to the nightmare last night, he had no appetite at the moment.

Seeing Li Xingyi’s sad face, Li’s mother suddenly felt worried.

"Xiao Xingyi, yesterday's rain...you're not going to have a nightmare again, are you?"

In fact, Li's father and mother did not sleep well last night. They only had Li Xingyi as their son, so they were naturally very worried. However, due to Li Xingyi's initiative, they could not break into their son's room, so they watched through the window in the attic all night.

"Yeah, but it's okay, Mom. I'm not as scared as I used to be. I'll be fine once I grow up."

Li Xingyi did not hide the fact that he had a nightmare, but he made up a little lie.

Although these relatives here are not related to him by blood in a sense, after spending several years with them, Li Xingyi cannot deny that he has real feelings for them.

"That's it~"

Mother Li answered in a somewhat distracted tone, but the worry in her eyes had not dissipated.

Seeing this, Father Li hurriedly pushed a bowl of soul beast meat powder in front of Mother Li.

"Don't talk about it, old lady. It's getting late. Let's have breakfast."

After breakfast.

Li's mother went to the bedroom to get something, while Li's father left Li Xingyi in the main hall, as if he had something to say.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Xingyi, for some reason, the martial soul awakening ceremony at Shrek Academy was suddenly announced to be held earlier this year. You are still more than a month away from turning six, but if you miss this year and go again next year, you will be almost a year late... So I want to ask you, are you willing to try this martial soul awakening?"

Hearing this, a strong sense of surprise appeared in Li Xingyi's eyes.

He had been looking forward to this day for too long.

Even though the soul in him was already very mature at this moment, he was still as happy as a child.

"Really? That's great, I can become a soul master soon!"

Father Li looked at his innocent son in front of him and couldn't help but touch his head.

“But Xingyi, you are not yet six years old, so there is a certain probability that you will not be able to awaken your martial soul. In this case, we can only wait until next year. You must be mentally prepared in advance.” Father Li reminded.

"Okay dad, I'm mentally very strong!"

At this moment, Li's mother had packed up the documents and came to the door of the main hall.

Father Li patted Li Xingyi on the back and said, "Xingyi, follow your mother and go. I wish you a safe journey."

Looking at the gradually receding backs of Li Xingyi and his mother, Li's father had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Will our mediocre talents ruin Xingyi's life..."
