The Gate of the Past

Lin Hai stared at the gate in front of him with a cold expression, then said, "What is this gate?"

"It's called [The Gate of the Past], as the name suggests, it leads to the past. As you can see, I copied the first twenty years of your life and put them inside a world behind this gate. Also, they belong to you, so only you can enter them," Old San replied.

"Then what do I need to do in order to finish my training?" Lin Hai asked.

"It's very simple, you just have to kill!" Old San replied with a natural smile.

"Who am I going to kill?" Lin Hai said.

"Kill your family, kill your friends, kill your relatives, kill your enemies, kill all your flaws and traits that indicate your weakness and finally kill yourself to completely abandon your past life. All of this will contribute and make your path to strength a little easier!!" Old San said seriously.

"Kill what???" Who would have thought that this was the third training, Lin Hai said in shock, he was surprised that Old San said that it would be easy for some and difficult for others.

"What do you want to undo?" Old San said.

Lin Hai stood there blank and devoid of thoughts. He couldn't come up with a definite answer, this was really difficult for anyone to kill his family or close people with his own hands.

After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, damn everything. They already died once, so it's okay for them to die again. I already said that. I will kill whoever stands in my way of power, even if it is my family, so I will exterminate it!!" He thought a lot about it, he's already alone in this world so it's okay to kill everything else.

After saying this, he stepped forward and entered the gate without the slightest hesitation. He made up his mind.

Old San watched this development with a slight smile, then muttered to himself, "This boy is very good. I'm sure he'll overtake us if he stays like this, but the problem here is that we don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse." After saying this, he disappeared from the scene, leaving behind the Gate of the Past.

****************

Lin Hai entered the world behind the gate. He was standing on top of fertile land that seemed to belong to a village. He raised his head and then saw a group of middle-aged men plowing the land and planting seeds…

He kept walking as he watched everything, there were very few people in this village.

People watched him with strange looks on their faces, some of them were turning away from his way because of the fear of his black eyes, and others were greeting him, Lin Hai didn't care about anyone and didn't even bother to say hello.

He just kept moving forward, he got to know all of these people because this place was his village, it was the place where he was born.

There was a group of women and men gathered around a man and a woman and they were cheering and rejoicing. Lin Hai approached the group a little and then took a clear look at the couple. The woman was holding a baby in her hands and her husband was caressing and playing with him. Today only.

When Lin Hai saw the couple, all kinds of emotions, joy-sadness-anger-longing, erupted within him.

How can he not become emotional when he sees his parents in front of him!!

Yes, this couple were Lin Hai's parents who had been killed by the bandits. As for the baby boy, this was Lin Hai himself the day he was born.

He returned to the past and had the opportunity to see his parents, friends, relatives and the place he belonged to, anyone would think that this was a happy occasion for Lin Hai.

Unfortunately, he has returned to the past, but he has to kill everything in his path, including those who are dear to him.

"Hi friend, what's your name? Are you new in the village? Today I gave birth to my first son, and I want to organize a huge party on this occasion. Do you want to join us?" Lin Hai suddenly heard a voice that woke him up from his stupor. His father was standing in front of him while talking to him.

Lin Hai didn't know how to answer him. It was the first time he had spoken to his father in thousands of years, then he hurriedly said, "I'm Lin Hai, I'm just a visitor and I don't belong here."

"Oh, what a wonderful coincidence. My son is also named Lin Hai. He's just like you. That's cool. Young man. You should definitely come to the party. Hehe. By the way, my name is Yun Hai, and this is my wife, Su Yu He." His father laughed heartily and said.

"Nice to meet you, sir, but I'm sorry, I can't accept your invitation to go." After Lin Hai said this, he immediately disappeared from his place, leaving Mr. Yun Hai behind as he thought.

"Honey, what are you thinking?" Mrs. Su Yu He, or to be more precise, Lin Hai's mother, spoke.

"Hmmm, nothing. I just think this guy is weird. I feel like I saw him somewhere but I can't remember." Mister Yoon Hai said.

"Darling, today is a wonderful day in our lives, so don't worry about side things and just focus on our little Lin Hai," Mrs. Su Yu He said, then started to caress her baby Lin Hai.

______________

Nearby in the village Lin Hai sat on a rock as he thought, "Mom, Dad, I really miss you both, I know this is just the past and not a place reserved for me. I really want to be with you but I'm sorry. I'll have to finish what I started. I hope you'll forgive me." For what I'm going to do…" After saying that, his eyes flashed with killing intent, then he sat down pensively in his place.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and one day the people in the village were enjoying their lives as normal as every day, but unexpectedly today, in front of the entrance of the village, there were hundreds of men riding on their horses, and they were led by a person in the front, they were carrying banners written on it [Yang Gang].

A man from the village saw the group standing in front of the entrance and then ran away shouting, "Run, Yang gangsters are here, run for your life."

Chaos spread within the village after hearing the name of the Yang gang, men and women began to flee. This was a notorious gang in this area and it consisted of bandits. They seized, looted and killed dozens of neighboring villages who would have thought that it was their turn for their village.

"Come on, men, as usual, come in, steal everything of value, kill the men, the young, and the elderly, and leave the beautiful women. We have to sell them at a reasonable price this time, hahaha." He heard the voice of the leader of this gang, then the bandits moved and entered the village.
