Chapter 2

In the world of Jiutian, where the Sea Race, the Eightfold Assembly, the Beast Race, and humans coexist, the Sea Race relies on the ocean and masters the mysteries of water. The Eightfold Assembly, a combination of strength, beauty, and wisdom, is known as the children of the gods, ruling over the sea and the continent respectively.

The Beastmen and humans, on the other hand, belong to the slave class. Although the Beastmen are ugly, they possess great strength and have a slightly higher status than humans. Humans, being the weakest, are at the bottom of the food chain, surviving through their remarkable reproductive ability and resilience. It wasn't until the appearance of runes that the situation for humans began to change.

If runes gave humans hope, then the great Sage Wang Meng led humans to glory, creating the Five Great Order Runes, pushing the use of human soul power to its limits. Based on the characteristics of human soul power, he established the Eight Professions: Wizard, Martial Artist, Gunner, Soul Beast Master, Exorcist, Alchemist, Smith, and Rune Master. This move overturned the weak position of humans on the Jiutian continent, and the rise of humans became unstoppable.

In the 125th year of the Rune Era, Wang Meng led the Eight Great Professions to unify dozens of forces on the continent, establishing the Nine Gods Alliance.

In the 150th year of the Rune Era, Wang Meng led the continental coalition to a decisive battle with the Sea Race in the Mariana Trench. Despite being the weaker side, they defeated the Sea Race's main force. Wang Meng and his eight followers forced the three Sea Kings to sign the greatest peace treaty in history, ending the Sea Race's thousand-year plunder of land civilizations and redefining the hierarchy of life on the continent: humans, the Eightfold Assembly, the Sea Race, and the Beast Race.

Unified currency, measurement, and other measures gradually transformed human strength into the strength of civilization, solidifying this advantage.

If the heavens had not given birth to Wang Meng, humans would have remained in eternal darkness.

However, the Sage, who had achieved great success, triggered a mysterious explosion while researching the mysteries of the void, possibly due to the use of a substandard soul artifact, and unfortunately perished. But his spirit lives on.

In the 228th year of the Rune Era, as the Sage's influence waned, internal struggles among humans began. The Gangwu Empire, which inherited most of the Nine Gods Alliance's power, launched wars, conquering the northern Beast Race and renaming itself the Nine Gods Empire. It began to invade in all directions. Faced with such overwhelming power, the invaded had no will to fight, and the Jiutian continent entered a dark age.

At this time, an organization called the Holy Hall rose, claiming to inherit the power of the Sage Wang Meng and the Eight Sages. They united the Eightfold Assembly and the human city-states that refused to submit, forming the Blade Alliance to resist the Nine Gods Empire. Each leader of the resistance was called a "hero."

Even in the face of the most powerful Zeppelin fleet's bombardment, there was never a lack of heroes.

Leading from the front, defying death.

The power of faith and role models is great.

Facing the vast Nine Gods Empire, the weak Blade Alliance miraculously withstood the wave-like attacks. At this point, the Sea Race, which had been observing, finally intervened. They knew that once the Nine Gods Empire achieved continental dominance, the next target would be the Sea Race. The human conflict dragged on for over two hundred years, and in the 468th year of the Rune Era, the Blade Alliance and the Nine Gods Empire reached a ceasefire agreement.

The Jiutian continent welcomed a long-awaited peace.

During this two-hundred-year war, 23,955 heroes paid with their lives, all of them top-tier practitioners of the Eight Professions.

New heroes, who followed the spirit of the Holy Hall, continued to guard the hard-won peace and freedom.

"The noblest quality of humans is the soul."

"As long as there is justice and a spirit of sacrifice in one's heart, everyone can become a hero."

"Without freedom, life is meaningless."

"Heroes, defying death, move forward bravely."

— Quotations from the Sage

Drip... Drip... Drip...

In a daze, a light appeared, gradually fading away. The feeling of powerlessness and floating suddenly became real, followed by intense pain that woke Wang Feng from the endless darkness. This pain was something he had never experienced before; it seemed he was hanging, and his arms had lost all sensation.

A bucket of cold water was poured over him from head to toe, instantly waking him up.

Wang Feng opened his eyes. With his IQ of 251, his first reaction was that he had been kidnapped. Could someone have known he was about to become the world's richest person and intercepted him?

In front of him was a man and a woman, clearly with the woman in charge, exuding power and authority. ... Is this a period drama?

"Brothers, let's talk. How much do you want? Just name it, and I won't haggle!" Wang Feng said in a hoarse voice, feeling awkward but not caring.

The man instantly disappeared from his sight, and then he was punched in the stomach. Ugh...

Wang Feng immediately vomited, feeling as if his bones were about to disintegrate, his mind blank. Then, countless memories that were not his own flooded his mind...

A well-dressed child watched helplessly as his home turned into a sea of fire...

He and another older child were thrown into a group of children for training, fighting each other. After the older child was killed protecting him, he erupted...

The child survived and underwent various trainings, focusing mainly on alchemy...

At 17, he was sent to infiltrate the Rose Holy Hall to carry out a suicide mission, placing aphrodisiacs in the cafeteria to create a major scandal and destroy the Holy Hall's pride. However, an explosion occurred during the process...

Jiutian continent... Fantasi... Headmaster... Nine Gods Empire... Sage Wang Meng... Rose Holy Hall... Countless pieces of information flooded in...

At this moment, Wang Feng felt a million horses galloping through his mind. He had seen miserable situations, but never one as miserable as his. After ten years of enduring hardship, he had finally reached the peak of his life, only to be transported to another world. And not just any world, but one where he was in a hopeless situation. At such a young age, why did he have to be a terrorist, and worse, he was caught!

A deep, powerful voice sounded in his ear.
