Chapter 1

The Mortal Realm, Dawn City.

The capital of the Titan Empire, Dawn City, is the last stronghold of the Titan Empire in the Mortal Realm, and this last stronghold is about to fall.

At this moment, outside Dawn City and on the surrounding walls, black smoke rises, and cries of agony echo continuously. The oppressive atmosphere weighs heavily on the thirty thousand Titan soldiers defending the city. They look at the dense, black sea of enemy soldiers from the Tianlang Empire outside the city, and a sense of extreme despair wells up in their hearts.

Over a thousand twenty-meter-high heavy catapults of the Tianlang Empire have been bombarding Dawn City for three days and three nights. The thirty-zhang-high walls on all four sides, under the bombardment of boulders, are already in ruins.

Perhaps the supply of stones is about to be exhausted, or perhaps the commander of the Tianlang army has lost patience with the continued bombardment. In the vast Tianlang army, the command flags suddenly wave, and the order for a full-scale attack is issued!

Under the shouts of the officers, nearly a million Tianlang soldiers surge forward like a terrifying black tide, rushing towards the four walls of Dawn City.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

This is the sound of the last wave of boulders flying towards the walls.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of dull thuds resound as the boulders hit the walls. Some unfortunate Titan soldiers are instantly crushed into pulp. This is not the end; the debris from the boulders splatters in all directions, and nearby Titan soldiers are struck and killed on the spot.

One Titan soldier is one of the unfortunate ones. A piece of debris pierces his heart, and he falls straight down, dead before he can even scream.

However, just as this soldier falls, a sudden change occurs on the battlefield!

A fierce wind suddenly rises, and the clear sky is instantly covered with dark clouds, plunging the world into darkness. Both sides of the impending battle look up at the sky.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning strikes from the sky, hitting the soldier whose heart was pierced. Immediately, the raging storm surges towards the soldier's body as if drawn to it.

The scene is now in darkness, and no one present, all ordinary people, notices that the storm carries a large amount of strange substances into the soldier's body.

The wind quickly stops, and the dark clouds dissipate, revealing a clear sky. The Tianlang soldiers, who had paused their assault, let out a deafening roar and charge towards the walls again, brandishing their weapons. The Titan soldiers on the walls refocus their attention on the approaching enemy, and no one pays attention to the soldier's body that was struck by lightning.

The soldier's body, struck by lightning, is undergoing a bizarre transformation. The wound in his chest heals at an incredible speed, closing and forming a scab in just a few seconds. The scab then falls off, revealing unblemished skin.

The soldier opens his eyes, stands up, and he has come back to life!

"Where am I? Cough, cough!"

The heavy smell of blood in the air makes the soldier cough uncontrollably. Then, a flood of memories rushes into his mind, the memories of the original owner of this body:

The original owner was an orphan who survived by begging. As an adult, he joined the army after hearing that soldiers get enough to eat. He was killed by a stone during the battle.

"Did I just travel through time?!"

After merging with the original owner's memories, Yu Tianxiao stands in shock.

"Am I dreaming?!"

Yu Tianxiao decides to slap himself to see if he feels pain.

"Slap!"

A loud slap rings out, and intense pain shoots through his face. Yu Tianxiao confirms that he is not dreaming. However, this slap was not from himself.

"Brat! Don't you see the Tianlang soldiers are already at the walls! What the hell are you standing there for! Get me some rocks to throw down! Crush these bastards!"

A large man in simple armor slaps Yu Tianxiao hard, his face contorted with anger. The original owner's memories tell Yu Tianxiao that this large man is his centurion.

"Bang!"

Seeing that Yu Tianxiao still hasn't moved, the centurion kicks him.

"Get some rocks! If you keep standing there, I'll cut you down!"

Seeing the centurion waving his long sword, Yu Tianxiao, who had been kicked to the ground, quickly gets up and rushes towards a large rock.

Yu Tianxiao is surprised to find that his strength has increased significantly. He can easily lift the large rock. Carrying the rock, he quickly runs to the damaged parapet, ready to throw it down. However, the scene below the wall shocks him.

Below the wall, a dense mass of black enemy soldiers fills the view. They have set up siege ladders and are climbing up the walls. Some Tianlang soldiers have already reached the middle of the ladders, while arrows and rocks from the walls continuously rain down, hindering their advance.

"Whoosh!"

A whistling sound is heard, and an arrow from a Tianlang archer below the wall is shot at Yu Tianxiao. The arrow hits the rock he is holding, and Yu Tianxiao, frightened, quickly throws the rock and crouches behind the parapet.

"Clang!"

Crouching on the ground, a series of voices ring in Yu Tianxiao's mind. Already frightened, he blindly chooses "Yes."

"Clang!"

The host chose to open the red envelope. Opening the red envelope...

The series of voices in his mind end, and Yu Tianxiao stands up in a daze, still in shock.

"Damn it, do you want to die!"

The centurion rushes to Yu Tianxiao and kicks him to the inner side of the wall. Fortunately, the centurion kicked him in time, or an arrow would have hit Yu Tianxiao's head.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Yu Tianxiao bursts into laughter on the ground. The surrounding soldiers look at him with concern, shaking their heads, thinking he has been driven mad by the enemy. This is a common occurrence on the battlefield.

However, they are all wrong. Yu Tianxiao stops laughing, quickly stands up, and his eyes blaze with fierce determination:

"A million enemy soldiers, a million monsters. My path to divinity begins here!"

Yu Tianxiao looks at the large pile of rocks nearby. In the next second, he stores all the rocks in his system inventory. He walks confidently to the outer side of the parapet, and the rocks he stored appear in the air one by one, then rain down on the enemy below.
