Chapter 1

A buzzing sensation filled Lin Ze's mind, a feeling akin to having a fever of forty degrees, leaving him completely drained and weak.

"Am I alive again?!"

Although he felt dazed and utterly powerless, Lin Ze could still sense the gentle breeze on his face.

Since he could feel the breeze, it was clear that he was indeed alive.

"What's going on? Didn't I get torn into pieces by the spatial energy leaking from the spatial rift? How can I feel the breeze now?" Lin Ze was full of questions.

In his last memory, endless spatial energy had consumed his body, and then he had fallen into darkness.

"Could it be because of it?" Lin Ze's eyes lit up as he thought of a reason for his survival.

At that moment, his mind trembled, and before he could react, countless unfamiliar memories flooded his consciousness.

"It's really because of the Planar Seed that I survived!" Lin Ze sighed. The unfamiliar memories that had just appeared told him that he had survived thanks to the Planar Seed he had obtained.

"I owe my life to the Planar Seed. Without it, I would have been dead for sure this time." Lin Ze felt a deep sense of gratitude for the Planar Seed.

"Buzz...!" His mind trembled again, and a sense of joy spread through his brain.

Lin Ze understood that this was the Planar Seed expressing its happiness. The deep gratitude in Lin Ze's heart had made the Planar Seed, which resided in his mind, very happy.

"Hehe, you're really mischievous." Lin Ze smiled, and the memory of how he had obtained the Planar Seed surfaced in his mind.

Lin Ze, a man of thirty-three, had lost his parents in a plane crash when he was ten. Although he received a large compensation from the airline and life insurance, no amount of money could bring his parents back or change his fate as an orphan.

His grandparents were still alive, so from then on, Lin Ze lived with them.

After his parents' death, Lin Ze developed a love for stargazing. His grandfather told him that his parents hadn't died; they had just transformed into stars in the sky, watching over him.

As Lin Ze grew older, he understood that his grandfather's words were meant to comfort him. The stars in the sky were not his parents, but he still loved stargazing.

Every time he looked at the stars, his heart felt a sense of relaxation, as if his parents were still by his side, filling him with warmth.

One could say that the starry sky had become his spiritual寄托.

Ten years passed, and when Lin Ze was twenty, his fate took a turn.

That year, a grand meteor shower was expected to descend upon Lin'an City. Lin Ze, who loved stargazing, naturally loved meteor showers as well. Having received the news early, he set up a tent on a nearby mountain to watch the meteor shower.

The city's sky was full of dust, making the suburban mountains a much better place to observe the meteor shower.

Lin Ze's luck was good that night. The sky was clear, and the moon was a crescent, making the night very dark—perfect conditions for watching a meteor shower.

At one o'clock in the morning, the meteor shower arrived over Lin'an City.

This meteor shower was indeed a spectacular event. Over the course of two hours, four to five thousand meteors fell to Earth, with hundreds landing around Lin'an City. Fortunately, about a dozen of them fell on the nearby mountains.

At that moment, Lin Ze's eyes lit up.

He knew the value of meteorites well. The price of a meteorite was at least twenty to thirty yuan per gram, and rare meteorites could fetch millions or even tens of millions of yuan.

Therefore, the next morning, Lin Ze hurriedly packed up and eagerly went to the nearby mountains to search for meteorites.

Since the meteorites had fallen the previous night and he had a rough idea of their locations, it took him only half a day to find sixteen meteorites.

Perhaps fate didn't want Lin Ze to find these meteorites so easily. As he was descending the mountain, an accident occurred.

A wild boar suddenly blocked his path, and Lin Ze accidentally startled it. The boar, without hesitation, charged at Lin Ze.

Seeing the boar charging, Lin Ze turned and ran.

Although he cleverly ran around trees to avoid the boar, he accidentally fell into a hunter's trap, hitting his head and opening several large wounds. Blood gushed out like a faucet, and Lin Ze instantly lost consciousness.

As the saying goes, "Fortune lies in misfortune, and misfortune lies in fortune." Because of this disaster, Lin Ze obtained the Planar Seed.

Among the sixteen meteorites he had found, one contained a Planar Seed.

This Planar Seed had been born in the River of Planes but was unfortunately caught in a spatial black hole and sucked into the infinite void.

The void was filled with spatial storms, tides, lightning, and collapses—destructive forces that, despite the Planar Seed's strength, gradually left it scarred.

After countless years, the once-intact Planar Seed had become extremely damaged, on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly, a spatial black hole appeared in the void, and countless spatial rifts formed around it.

The severely damaged and nearly dead Planar Seed, without hesitation, used its last bit of strength to force its way into one of the spatial rifts, escaping the void.

After drifting through the universe for countless years, the damaged Planar Seed arrived on Earth with the meteor shower and was eventually obtained by Lin Ze.

Normally, truly owning a Planar Seed wasn't that simple. A complete Planar Seed was very powerful, and without great strength, one couldn't make it recognize them as its master.

However, this Planar Seed had been attacked by destructive spatial forces for countless years, losing most of its power. Therefore, the conditions for it to recognize a master were now extremely simple, requiring only a blood sacrifice.

Of course, a blood sacrifice wasn't as simple as just a little blood. Just as a seed needs a lot of water to sprout, the Planar Seed required a significant amount of blood. When Lin Ze's head was split open, blood gushed out like a faucet, providing enough for the Planar Seed to absorb.

Thus, Lin Ze obtained the Planar Seed.
