Chapter 2

Su Xian had transcended, but this was not a different world; it was still Earth... or rather, Earth several thousand years in the future!

He had not crossed through space; he had crossed through time.

The name of this young man was also Su Xian. Perhaps it was the same name that led to a mysterious connection across tens of thousands of years, merging them into one?

He didn't know, but according to the memories of his original self, the era he was in was so ancient that it was called the ancient civilization.

As for when it was destroyed...

It was impossible to determine.

The era was too distant. It was known that overnight, humans and the civilization that had been built over thousands of years vanished completely.

After destruction, there must be rebirth.

After countless years...

New humans were born on this devastated land, multiplied, and developed new technology and civilization.

This was all normal, but what was abnormal was...

At a critical moment in the development of technology, an archaeological discovery changed the course of the world's evolution!

The style was skewed.

Some archaeologists accidentally obtained a server containing information about prehistoric civilization from a deserted planet. It took the alliance nearly a century and a great deal of effort to finally crack the server and obtain its contents.

The name of that server was... Qidian!!!

"So... these people saw the novels on Qidian, mistook them for biographies, and believed that the powers described in them were real. Thus, driven by their fervent pursuit of power, they spent countless generations' efforts and actually managed to develop those techniques, such as magic, martial arts, and technological mutations?!!!"

When Su Xian first learned of this, he was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close. In the alliance, there were indeed many talented people. This... this is really possible?

But upon further reflection, it didn't seem strange. In ancient times, the Wright brothers, inspired by birds flying in the sky, developed the airplane, allowing humans to realize their dream of flying. Before the airplane, who would have dared to imagine that humans could conquer the sky?

So, admiring the techniques and martial arts in novels and dedicating themselves to research, eventually succeeding after generations of effort, should also be...

Su Xian suddenly felt that although it was absurd, it actually made sense.

In the alliance, there were countless planets, each representing a civilization.

The planet he was on, Zhen Shui Xing, was a planet where everyone practiced cultivation.

In fact, the reason he could accept his transcendence so quickly was because...

Su Xian raised his hand and whispered, "Qidian."

"Here!"

A clear voice sounded, and then a projection floated in front of his wrist. A girl of about thirteen or fourteen, with a lovely and charming appearance, floated in the air, bowed respectfully to Su Xian, and said, "Hello, esteemed初级VIP reader Su Xian, Qidian Chinese website is at your service. Would you like to subscribe to a book?"

"Really didn't expect... After so many tens of thousands of years, Qidian really became Qidian?!"

Su Xian muttered something incomprehensible, which was the truly absurd thing.

In Su Xian's memory, although there were many cultivation methods in the alliance, everything ultimately stemmed from Qidian. To show respect for Qidian, they gathered the technology of countless civilizations, using the Qidian server as the core, to create the most advanced computer in history!

Every person in the federation would receive an account at birth, bound to a terminal. This terminal recorded their entire life, from birth to death, and Qidian would separate a subsystem to reside within the terminal, serving the terminal's owner.

Everyone had a Qidian.

The previous Su Xian also had one...

But when the old Su Xian became the new Su Xian...

The account changed... from a regular account to a VIP customer!

"So, is this considered meeting an old friend in a foreign land?"

Su Xian knew that his account had been forcibly changed to the one he used when reading on Qidian... even the 5498 Qidian coins he had left from recharging were still intact.

Thinking about the privileges he received as the only VIP reader still alive in Qidian...

"Is this a benefit for loyal readers from Qidian?"

Su Xian muttered to himself.

He couldn't believe that Qidian had advanced to such a degree, even preserving the information of someone from over ten thousand years ago.

"Would you like to subscribe?"

Qidian's face still wore a warm smile, asking enthusiastically.

"No... I'll subscribe later."

Su Xian said.

"Understood, then... esteemed..."

"No need for formalities. Just call me Master in the future!"

"Yes, Master!"

The room fell silent.

Su Xian quietly looked at his wrist. Who would have thought that the Qidian, which recorded all the data and permissions of the entire federation, was now residing in his terminal?

Just as he was thinking...

A familiar and caring voice sounded in his ear.

"Xian, you're watching TV. You seem to have recovered quite well."

The voice was soft, as if afraid to disturb his rest.

The door was gently pushed open...

A rather haggard but beautiful woman and a charming girl walked in.

Yang Wanhu and Su Tao, his mother and sister in this life.

Previously, Su Xian was so shocked by Qidian's existence that he didn't have time to talk to them.

But if nothing unexpected happened...

These two people would probably be his only family in this world.

In the emergency room, Su Xian could hear the sounds outside and naturally heard what these two people had done to save his life.

Especially that heart-wrenching cry... to be honest, it was the first time Su Xian had heard someone cry for him.

At that moment, he was... actually quite happy.

Not because he was a pervert, but because the feeling of being cared about was unexpectedly nice.

In his previous life, he was an orphan. Living again, why cling to the painful struggles of the past? He might as well embrace the new life... with a new identity...

The name was probably the only thing that still connected him to his past.

Oh, and Qidian.

Thinking about it, Su Xian carefully observed his mother and sister in this life.

Yang Wanhu, his mother in this life, looked to be in her thirties. Although she was no longer young, she still exuded a gentle and graceful demeanor. However, her eyes were weary, and her fingers were rough, clearly showing the hardships she had endured over the years to take care of her two children.

At that moment, she looked at him with loving eyes, but the worry and pain in her expression were evident. Su Xian knew what she was worried and pained about.

And his sister...

The girl who had unhesitatingly sacrificed her future to save his life.

Indeed, she was a very beautiful girl.

Her skin was smooth, and her face was delicate.

She wore a white silk dress that accentuated her slender waist and long, beautiful legs.

The residents of Zhen Shui Xing all absorbed the essence of heaven and earth from a young age, leaving no impurities in their bodies. Those who could enter high school had already reached a certain level of cultivation, and the women were all exceptionally beautiful. However, she stood out even more, with a serene and calm demeanor. Her eyes, like ink dots, were pure and clear, and even when angry, they exuded a captivating charm.

Su Tao.

A very cute name, but her personality was quite indifferent. At least, compared to Yang Wanhu's joy at her son's recovery, Su Tao's face showed no emotion or fluctuation.

If not for knowing that she had unhesitatingly used the tuition money the school had prepared for her to save his life, Su Xian might have thought she didn't care about his life at all.

"Mom, you should go and handle the discharge procedures."

She seemed quite impatient with Yang Wanhu's excitement and said.

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Xian.

Su Xian also looked at her...

In his mind, the previous Su Xian's evaluation of this sister surfaced.

A useless brother and a genius sister.

Compared to him, she was like a meteor shining brightly in the vast universe.

From elementary school, she was always the best, whether in any school or class, in any subject like formations, medicine, or alchemy. Whenever she participated, she always came in first, far surpassing the second place. In less than a year, she completed the Qi Condensation stage, which even geniuses took three years to complete, successfully condensed her spirit, and entered high school ahead of time, even earlier than her older brother Su Xian, who was a year older.

Then, she stood out in the law cultivation exam held by the alliance, winning the championship and being admitted to the prestigious Tian Shu Academy ahead of time!

In short... although young, she was already an outstanding girl. If this were a female-oriented novel, she would be the genius protagonist, the one that countless male protagonists would fall for.

In contrast, Su Xian, who had only managed to enter the Spirit Condensation stage with help in junior high and made no progress in his second year of high school, with his grades almost at the bottom of the class, was so ordinary, no, so inferior, that it was like the difference between heaven and earth!

If they stood together, no one would think they were siblings!

But now, this genius sister stood in front of Su Xian.

She looked at him deeply and asked, "You're awake. I've been wanting to ask you, do you remember how you were injured?"

"I... don't remember."

Su Xian rubbed his head and said, "That part of my memory is very blurry. I remember everything else, but that time..."

"Do you remember who you went out with?"

"Um... I... I can't quite remember."

Su Xian hesitated. Indeed, he remembered most of Su Xian's memories, but the memories after the Spirit Condensation stage were... blurry, like the content of a dream. He could remember it, but couldn't describe it clearly, and the memories were vague. Was it because of the cultivation and spirit refinement, which strengthened his brain?

So I can't read Su Xian's memories anymore...

Su Xian wondered if he would be seen through. This thought made him somewhat uneasy.

Su Tao didn't dwell on this question. She pondered for a moment and fell silent.

But her clear eyes continued to stare at Su Xian...

The brother and sister stared at each other strangely.

The brother didn't move... the sister didn't move either.

After a long time...

A pleasant melody sounded in the room, with a soft humming voice and a melodious tune.

Su Tao still didn't move.

Su Xian, however, felt quite awkward. Being stared at by his nominal closest relative with such an emotionless gaze, even with a mental age of nearly thirty, he still felt awkward.

He broke the awkward silence and said, "Tao Tao, your terminal... is ringing."

"Never mind it."

Su Tao said calmly, then raised her wrist and made a few gestures in the air, like a swordsman from ancient times drawing his sword to strike an enemy.

Su Xian saw clearly that with this gesture, she had blocked the person who had just contacted her.

Not only did she not answer the terminal, but she also directly blocked the contact.

Noticing Su Xian's gaze, Su Tao asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing... nothing."

Su Xian couldn't help but wonder, was the person who had sacrificed her future to save him really the sister standing in front of him, who seemed to have nothing to say to him, almost like a stranger?
