Chapter 1 A "Suicide Note"

My name is Ye Lang, a very ordinary member of society.

I have an ordinary family and live an ordinary life.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will marry a very ordinary, easy-to-support woman as my wife.

This last point is particularly important.

My woman needs to be easily satisfied and not have extravagant desires for this and that.

Of course, I might indulge in occasional extravagance to surprise her.

Then, I would continue living an ordinary life, have a child, and raise the child to be successful, just like everyone else, hoping for my child to become a dragon.

In this life, I might have one or two outstanding achievements, but overall, I am just an ordinary person living an ordinary life.

However, I do feel that this kind of life is not bad.

Maybe it's because I am just an ordinary person.

But an unexpected event happened to me, an ordinary person, making my originally ordinary heart unable to bear it.

That day, on a whim, I went to donate blood. However, it was detected that there was something wrong with my blood.

So, I went to the hospital for a detailed examination.

Looking at the test report, I didn't know how to describe my feelings, perhaps because my mind was completely blank.

I can't remember the name of this disease. Anyway, the scientific name is very long.

It's a very rare blood disease with less than a thousand cases worldwide.

This is not a disease that an ordinary person like me should get.

Ordinary people like me should get common minor illnesses like colds and fevers.

God, you think highly of me.

This disease is not necessarily fatal.

When it's not active, it's the same as a normal person.

However, once it becomes active, it can be life-threatening.

Due to its rarity, there are very few treatments, and the cost is not something ordinary people can afford.

Putting these aside, can my parents bear this news?

Therefore, I made a decision and spent some time changing myself, making people think that I have a heart that yearns to wander the world.

After all, my name has the character

"Lang" (meaning "wave"), is destined to be a wanderer.

At that time, I thought that it would be a wonderful thing to be able to travel all over the world in my lifetime.

And three years ago, maybe it was three years, I don't even know how many years have passed, on another whim, I took some wilderness survival tools and traveled alone through the uninhabited mountains.

Unfortunately, and also fortunately, I accidentally fell off a cliff.

Falling off a cliff was naturally unfortunate, but fortunately, there was a pool of water at the bottom of the cliff.

However, there was still misfortune because the bottom of the cliff was a valley, a valley with no exit.

Similarly, there was still a fortunate thing accompanying me.

There was a martial arts treasure trove in this valley.

Yes, you read that right, and I didn't say it wrong, it was a martial arts treasure trove.

This martial arts treasure trove can be said to encompass everything.

Not only were there martial arts manuals but also many other things such as Chinese medicine, mechanics, Qimen Dunjia, and so on.

As long as you can think of any skill from martial arts novels, it was all here.

There was one more thing.

I felt that the person who left this martial arts treasure trove was an outstanding educator because here,

whether it was martial arts or other skills, there were introductory books with very detailed basic introductory knowledge.

Even I, an ordinary person who knew nothing about martial arts, Chinese medicine, etc., could slowly get started and then gradually become proficient as my knowledge deepened.

There were no obstacles to learning.

Of course, at first, I didn't believe that these things were real.

I thought it was just a joke someone played.

But I was already a terminally ill person, so I took a chance and tried it out, hoping that it might cure my body.

So, I practiced qigong and studied acupuncture and the like.

Once I started, I couldn't stop. I completely immersed myself in this cultivation, not knowing how much time, how many years it took, and finally learned most of the things inside.

Well, I'm just an ordinary person, so naturally, I wouldn't learn things I wasn't interested in.

I only learned some skills that could be used for showing off and being cool, preparing to leave seclusion, and making waves in society.

Ah, if it weren't for this meteor that suddenly appeared from the sky and hit me with perfect accuracy,

I believe that with my invincible strength, my future days would have been very beautiful, with money and women, basically having everything I wanted.

You ask if my illness is completely cured.

I'm not too sure about that either, as I haven't gone to the hospital for a follow-up examination.

Anyway, I haven't died in the past few years, and based on my pulse, I am a strong and healthy man.

The last words are almost over.

Lastly, I want to say, brother, take good care of our parents, and also that seventh uncle and grandfather.

Your younger brother is going to another world.

Last but not least, I also want to say, if heaven can let me come back again, I will not learn from Wang Chongyang and shout about being invincible in the world.

It's his bad luck.

He was killed by a shoe as soon as he left seclusion.

But at least he had a whole corpse.

As for me, as soon as I left seclusion and became invincible in the world, I was smashed into mincemeat by a meteor that flew out of nowhere.

the above is my, Ye Lang's, final words, a person who could have stopped being ordinary and become very powerful, but in the end, remained an ordinary person.

Last but not least, I want to talk about my wish, well, my wish for the next life.

I've been ordinary in this life, so in the next life, I want to be reincarnated into the most powerful, influential, and wealthy family.

I want to splurge, I want to squander!

In the Middle-earth continent, the Xiangkong Empire, located in the east of the continent, occupies the most fertile and richest land.

It stands alongside the Southern Zhuque and the Western Ella as the three pillars of the continent, while most of the other kingdoms can only survive in the cracks between them.

Their only choice is to depend on the three empires, respectively choosing which empire to rely on.

In the imperial capital of the Xiangkong Empire, a very strange thing, or rather, a phenomenon, occurred today.

To be more precise, it was a weather phenomenon, and it was also very beautiful, so beautiful that it made people forget everything.

In the sky, the clouds were golden, all because of the strange yet beautiful glow.

The time, location, and conditions under which this glow appeared were all bizarre.

Some experts, or scholars of this world, fiddled with the frames of their glasses and said very seriously that this was a sign from the gods.

In this world, anything that humans could not understand would be attributed to miracles, and the people of this world all believed in the existence of gods.

This was good, as it saved people from getting too caught up in details.

As for whether gods existed, who knows?

This glow, attributed to a miracle, not only turned the clouds golden but also transformed the entire imperial capital into a golden world, like a city of gold.

According to common sense, the events that happened in the imperial capital on this day would be crowned with a mysterious color and be associated with gods.

If someone with ulterior motives deliberately hyped it up, then only three words could describe it: even more divine.

And on this day, a new life was about to be born in this world, in this city, destined to become the focus of everyone's attention.

He would be called the Son of God.

Also known as the Child of God, or God's Child for short.

In the imperial capital, within the area where the powerful and wealthy resided, there was an extremely large mansion.

It was the largest and had the most courtyards in this area, in the imperial capital, even in the entire empire, and perhaps even on the entire continent -

the "Pang Mansion."

Most of the kingdoms' palaces were not as big or as luxurious as this "Pang Mansion."

If it weren't located in the imperial capital of the Xiangkong Empire and within this area of the powerful and wealthy, it would be suspected of being a palace.

Although it didn't have palace-style architecture, it still couldn't stop everyone's suspicion.

It was precisely because the Xiangkong Empire's imperial palace was also exceptionally large and magnificent that this "Pang Mansion" seemed somewhat dwarfed by comparison.

Additionally, many of the residences of the empire's powerful and wealthy were also very large, so it became slightly less conspicuous.

However, this was only slightly so.

Having said so much, it's time to introduce the name of this "Pang Mansion." It had an ordinary name that didn't match it at all - the Ye Residence.

Because of this, none of the mansions in this area were given luxurious names, not even slightly grander names like "Grand Mansion" or something like that.

To be called a "Grand Mansion" next to the Ye Residence would be self-humiliation.

The Ye Residence, as the name suggests, was the residence of the Ye family.

And the Ye family who owned this residence was undoubtedly large and powerful, otherwise, they couldn't have such a large residence here.

On the continent, whenever someone mentioned the Ye family, everyone would first think of the Ye family of the Xiangkong Empire,

the legendary Eastern family that had been known as the "Number One Family under Heaven" for thousands of years.

Today, the Ye family was about to welcome a new member.

Why "again"? It was simple because a new member was born into the Ye family almost every month.

The Ye family was truly worthy of the title "Number One Family under Heaven," not only in terms of power and wealth but also in terms of the number of family members.

After thousands of years of inheritance, the Ye family tree already had tens of thousands of members. Of course, this only referred to those who were still alive, not including those who had passed away.

Perhaps, the reason why the Ye Residence was so vast was partly due to this factor.

And this was only because it housed the main branch of the family.

If the branch families were included, even the Xiangkong imperial palace might not be big enough.

However, this new member also had a special aspect, an aspect that attracted attention.

He was the grandson of the current head of the Ye family and the son of a popular candidate for the next head.

It was very likely that he would be a candidate for the head of the family in the generation after next.

As for why, before he was even born, they said he was a son and not a daughter, this question would be answered soon.

"Old man, don't you think your grandson is making a bit too much of a scene? Before he's even born, he's causing all this glow in the sky, like some kind of divine being descending to the world."
