Chapter 1

In the dimly lit room, the damp air, and the occasional flying mosquitoes, this dirty and shabby place was almost no different from a prison.

But in this very room, a young man dressed in fine clothes lay on the bed.

The young man's name was Yang Yi. His face was pale, and there were visible wounds on his lips, the corners of his eyes, and his arms.

Beside Yang Yi stood a girl of about the same age.

The girl had a delicate and refined appearance, with a determined look. In her hand, she held a dagger that was entirely blood-red and emitted scorching flames.

"Brother, this Fire Spirit Dagger was a gift you gave me on my tenth birthday, after spending a large amount of spirit coins to exchange it from the top-ranked 'Heavenly Weapons' in the Holy Book List. Now, let me use it to help you escape from your pain."

The girl looked at the young man with a gloomy expression, then raised her right hand and aimed the dagger at Yang Yi's heart, intending to end his suffering quickly.

"No!"

However, just as the girl's dagger was halfway down, Yang Yi suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly, "I'm not dead yet; I can still be saved."

Cough, cough!

After saying these words, Yang Yi spat out three mouthfuls of black blood.

"Poisoned blood, Brother, are you okay?"

Seeing the blood on the ground, the girl happily threw herself into Yang Yi's arms, filled with joy.

"Miss, let go of me first, let me rest for a moment."

Yang Yi's body was already very weak, and the girl's tight embrace almost made him faint again.

"Sorry, I forgot that Brother is very weak now."

The girl quickly let go of Yang Yi when he spoke.

"Wait, did Brother just call me 'Miss'?"

After letting go of Yang Yi, the girl realized something was off.

"Give me a cup of water!"

"Okay!"

Yang Yi's words interrupted the girl's thoughts.

Then, the girl hurriedly handed him a broken cup with dirt on it.

"This is really... great!"

Yang Yi almost threw the cup away when he saw it.

But when he saw the girl's expectant look, he closed his eyes and drank the dirty water in one gulp.

"Phew!"

After drinking, Yang Yi let out a deep breath.

Then he put the cup aside and said helplessly, "It seems I really have been reincarnated."

"What do you mean by 'reincarnated'?" the girl asked, not understanding what Yang Yi meant.

"It means coming back to life. I was already dead, but when I reached the underworld, they said my life wasn't over yet, so they kicked me back."

Yang Yi explained the process of his reincarnation to the girl.

Unfortunately, the girl's face turned extremely ugly after hearing this.

"Brother, you've just woken up, and you're still so frivolous. Could it be that you still have feelings for that woman? She has already taken all your wealth, and do you really want her to take away your hereditary marquis title as well?"

The girl said this while looking at Yang Yi with a look of disappointment.

But she didn't know that Yang Yi wasn't lying; everything he said was true.

Indeed, Yang Yi was not from this world.

He was originally an ordinary online writer from Earth. Just before his reincarnation, he was walking on a pedestrian path when a truck suddenly rushed over, ending his life.

After death, Yang Yi left his body and saw the legendary ghost officer.

However, when the ghost officer saw Yang Yi, he was even more shocked and kept shouting that something terrible had happened and that the wrong person had died.

Just as Yang Yi was about to question the ghost officer, the ghost officer suddenly pushed him hard, and Yang Yi lost consciousness.

When he woke up, his soul had attached itself to this body.

The original owner of this body was not yet dead, but Yang Yi's sudden intrusion directly shattered his soul and absorbed the last bit of his memory before death.

With this memory, Yang Yi knew he had been reincarnated into a strange world.

This was a primitive world that only existed in movies and books.

In this primitive world, there were not only humans but also demons and witches.

Among the three races, humans were the weakest and were always bullied by demons and witches.

Fortunately, demons and witches were also at odds with each other, so humans could survive in the cracks.

Besides the world view, Yang Yi also learned from the memory fragments that the original owner of this body was also named Yang Yi.

In this world, Yang Yi's parents had died, but they left him a hereditary marquis title and enough wealth to last ten lifetimes. He also had a sister named Yang Yue.

Yang Yue was not Yang Yi's biological sister but a half-sister.

Besides this sister, Yang Yi had some concubines and younger brothers and sisters.

However, after Yang Yi gave away his wealth, those people all left.

If Yang Yi hadn't woken up in time, he might have really died this time.

Also, according to the memory of this body, Yang Yi knew that there were no ghost officers in the primitive world.

After humans died, their souls either scattered in the world or became spirits to protect humans, or they were captured by demons and witches to be refined into demon weapons and witch weapons.

For now, this was all Yang Yi knew.

To learn more about this world and the events that happened to this body, he would have to explore on his own.

"This is a dangerous world; I absolutely cannot die easily."

Yang Yi thought to himself and then looked at his step-sister in front of him.

Drip, drip!

Yang Yue, not knowing what Yang Yi was thinking, finally shed tears when she saw him not speaking.

"Brother, my mother, and the fourth and fifth concubines have all returned to their natal homes! All the servants of the Yang family have become subordinates of that demon woman. If you continue to be infatuated with that demon woman, it would be better if I killed you, at least preserving your remaining honor and letting you die as the Dragon Martial Marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

At this point, Yang Yue's expression turned fierce, and she really had the intention to kill.

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

Seeing this, Yang Yi quickly said, "Yue'er, after experiencing life and death, my head is a bit confused, and I spoke nonsense."

"Really?"

Yang Yue was stunned when she saw Yang Yi admit his mistake.

After all, since his father's death three years ago and Yang Yi's inheritance of the Dragon Martial Marquis title, he had never apologized or admitted his mistakes to anyone except that demon woman.

"Of course, it's true. I'm very confused now and feel like I've forgotten a lot of things." Seeing that Yang Yue had stopped but hadn't let go of the dagger, Yang Yi hurriedly continued, "Yue'er, you say I was bewitched by a demon woman, but what is a demon woman? Can she be eaten?"

Pfft!

After Yang Yi spoke, Yang Yue was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Yang Yue laugh, Yang Yi quickly stood up, walked to her, and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

"Yue'er, I really don't remember who the demon woman is. Now, I only remember you, my sister. You won't abandon me, will you?"

Yang Yi was using the power of family affection.

From Yang Yue's previous words, he could tell that the previous owner of this body had definitely been infatuated with a heartless woman, leading to his financial ruin, betrayal by his family, and even being injured and poisoned.

If it weren't for Yang Yue's care, he would have died long ago, and Yang Yi wouldn't have had the chance to reincarnate.

This reincarnation was quite mysterious. After occupying this body, Yang Yi not only expelled all the remaining toxins but also healed most of his injuries.

"Brother, you really don't remember that demon woman?"

Yang Yue still didn't quite believe it, but she could see that Yang Yi's expression didn't seem fake.

"I really don't remember. Now, you are my only family. Don't you believe me?"

Yang Yi's voice grew sadder, and he finally sat back on the bed, sighing to himself.

"Alright, I'll believe you one more time!"

Yang Yue said this while taking out a book from her chest and then making the dagger turn into a red light and merge into the book.

Seeing this, Yang Yi's eyes lit up, but he knew it wasn't the best time to ask, so he didn't ask more.

"I knew you wouldn't abandon me, Yue'er."

After the dagger disappeared, Yang Yi felt relieved.

He couldn't afford to die so soon after his reincarnation.

"Brother, if I find out you're lying to me again, I'll kill you and then commit suicide." Yang Yue warned Yang Yi to prevent him from lying.

Yang Yi didn't take Yang Yue's threat seriously because it was meaningless to him.

After all, he really didn't know who the demon woman was, and he felt that Yang Yue was a good person. As long as Yang Yue was loyal to him, he would definitely be good to her.

Therefore, this warning was meaningless to him.

"Yue'er, I'm hungry."

After securing his life, Yang Yi patted his stomach weakly.

"I know, I'll go buy some food after I clean up."

After putting away the dagger, Yang Yue transformed into a cute sister, rolling up her sleeves to clean the shabby room.

Seeing Yang Yue working, Yang Yi also wanted to help.

But as soon as he moved, Yang Yue's sharp eyes immediately locked onto him, forcing him to lie back on the bed obediently.

"Alright, I'll go buy food. Rest for a while."

Yang Yue said this and then turned to leave the room.

After she left, Yang Yi recalled what he had seen earlier.

"Sealing a weapon in a book, this scene seems familiar, but the memory is too vague."

Yang Yi racked his brain, searching through the memory fragments left by the previous owner for information about the book.

After a long while, he finally exclaimed, "Got it, it's a spirit book!"

After a thorough search, Yang Yi finally found the memory about spirit books.

It turned out that this primitive world was a world of 'authors' and 'scholars.'

Authors could use writing novels, history, classics, and biographies to communicate with the laws of the primitive world through words.

As long as the content of the book was consistent with the laws and principles, it would be recognized by the world, and the book written by the author would become a spirit book.

A spirit book formed its own world, and although the things inside were illusory, they could be materialized using spirit coins.

'The Heavenly Weapons' was the most powerful book among humans. Without this book, the overall combat strength of humans would decrease by more than half, and the end of the human race might be near.
