All Are Ants

In the moonlit Linzhou Lianhua Lake Park, a sudden gust of wind stirred the tranquil night. The lakeside space twisted, and the sky crackled with lightning and thunder, creating an apocalyptic scene.

A mysterious figure emerged by the lake, the sky seemingly fragile around him. "I, Horn, am finally back!" declared the young man in a black robe, his deep voice resonating.

Instantly, lotus flowers bloomed, releasing a fragrant burst, though it was February, an unusual time for lotuses. Horn, dissatisfied with Earth's laws, mused to himself as he suppressed his formidable aura, mending the fractured sky.

Having spent two millennia in the Immortal World, Horn yearned to reclaim Earth. Despite only two years passing here, his determination remained strong. "I will make the world crawl at my feet!" he vowed, eyes reflecting a violent resolve.

Hailing from the Tianhai Su family, Horn, with immortal bones, faced betrayal at a young age. His bones were forcibly transplanted into his cousin, subjected to years of suffering. Now, returning with newfound power, he sought vengeance against those who had wronged him.

In the chilling recount, a five-year-old endured unimaginable pain as a rib was forcibly removed. At nineteen, Horn's hope rekindled with the awakening of Infinite Purple Eyes, but his uncle's family, learning of it, mercilessly hunted him down, gouging out his eyes.

Despite regenerating his eyes through practice, a lingering pain remained. Horn's past was a brutal journey, living worse than a dog, haunted by inner demons. Seeking a way back to Earth, he vanished into the cool evening by Lianhua Lake, driven by unresolved knots.

His parents' disappearance at his birth fueled another quest. Horn aimed to confront them, demanding answers for leaving him alone, adding to the burdens within him.

In the moonlit tranquility, Horn, outside Lianhua Lake Park, detected a disturbance. His gaze shifted left, revealing figures chasing a woman—Tang Yuxin, his deskmate from junior high and high school. An arrogant voice taunted her, claiming superiority over the supposedly deceased Horn.

"Tang Yuxin, you can't escape. I'll have you tonight!" declared the pursuer. Horn, frowning, recognized the familiar name, sparking memories of a shared past.

Thrown to a Linzhou branch after his immortal bones were extracted, Horn found solace in Tang Yuxin, who cared for him after his eyes were gouged out. As figures closed in, Tang Yuxin, clad in a white dress, recognized Horn with disbelief.

"Horn, is that you?" she tentatively asked.

"Yuxin, long time no see," Horn replied with a smile, offering reassurance. Tang Yuxin, overjoyed, hugged him, revealing her search for him in the past two years.

Horn promised, "As long as I'm here from now on, no one can bully you." His touch conveyed a determination to repay kindness and seek revenge.

Tang Yuxin, noticing Horn's regained eyes, questioned the miraculous change. Before Horn could answer, Sun Peng, from the Linzhou Sun family, challenged Horn's existence, labeling him a "good-for-nothing."

As Sun Peng threatened Horn with humiliation, a cold voice interrupted, questioning Horn's survival. Sun Peng, eager to assert dominance, unleashed a powerful punch, shattering a nearby stone. Two middle-aged men, aligned with Sun Peng, eyed Horn with anticipation, their cultivation levels matching Sun Peng's.

Memories resurfaced—the high school torment, framed theft, and a broken leg. Horn faced the remnants of his past, determined to rewrite his story and protect Tang Yuxin from further harm.

Despite the few friends around him, Horn reluctantly bowed to Sun Peng for their sake. Returning from two thousand years of cultivating immortality in the Immortal World, he no longer feared repercussions.

"Sun Peng, don't overstep your bounds. In Linzhou, your Sun family doesn't rule everything. Let Horn leave safely, and I'll go with you," Tang Yuxin intervened, breaking away from Horn's embrace.

Affected by the drugs Sun Peng had administered, Tang Yuxin felt the dizziness taking hold. Despite her determination, she was on the verge of collapsing.

Mocking her affection for Horn, Sun Peng belittled him as a discarded son of the Tianhai Su family. Threatening to cripple Horn for life, Sun Peng reveled in his cruelty.

"Tang Yuxin, if you want to protect him, I'll ensure he spends his life in a wheelchair. Tonight, I'll break both his legs with my own hands," Sun Peng sneered, demanding Horn's submission.

To Horn, Sun Peng was nothing more than a clown. Unfazed, he stood firm. Tang Yuxin, trembling violently, urged Horn to run while she braced herself to confront the impending danger.

Tang Yuxin's strength waned, and she collapsed toward the ground, murmuring, "Horn, run quickly."

Horn swiftly embraced Tang Yuxin, his gaze turning icy as he confronted Sun Peng and the others. "You are all ants in front of me," he declared with cold certainty. "Are you ready to die?"
