Chapter 1 [Who Am I]

The Extreme North was a bitterly cold place since ancient times and almost no plants could survive here. In the past, when there were spirit beasts, only large spirit beasts that were resistant to the cold were able to inhabit this place, as well as a few special species of spirit beasts that were similar to the Ice Jade Scorpion or Snow Woman.

Very soon, the all-weather surveillance aircraft entered the Extreme North and flew further in; the soft white glow revolved around it, isolating it from the bitter cold outside.

The lower body of the aircraft was flat. It had a faint green ray of light shining from it, and when the light fell on the ground, it formed a green aperture that covered a square kilometer. Any spirit beast would be detected in the green aperture if it had a life strength of over ten years. This was the latest life detector, and it could detect anything even if it were 100 meters underground.

The surveillance aircraft traveled along the coastline and scanned as it moved along. Although the life detector covered a wide area, the Extreme North was vast, and it would take quite some time if they wanted to scan every single place.

In the recent thousand years, following the development of more planets by mankind, they found more specimens and technology started to advance by leaps and bounds. They had already successfully undergone many cryogenic awakening experiments, and a few life forms that were frozen for countless years were also successfully awakened.

And this corpse before them was preserved for over thousand of years. This was the very first time in the history that they were thawing a corpse that was frozen for so long, and according to the scientists, the thing in the ice might have lived in a different era. If the awakening was successful, it would bring about not only scientific significance but historic as well.

For the cryogenic awakening experiment today, the scientists were fully prepared and already came up with countless contingency plans.

"It started melting already. Based on the speed that it's melting, the specimen might have existed for an even longer time than we initially thought."

The longer the specimen was frozen for, the longer it would take for it to melt.

The scientists got very excited. Without a doubt, the longer this specimen had existed, the greater the significance if he woke up.

"End of the melting process, the main body is revealed. Should we start injecting the brain and organ restoration fluid?"

"Begin the injection.

"Yes, I repeat, begin the injection."

The scientists were nervous and busy. A man with dark gray eyes smiled he was wearing military clothes as his eyes landed on the people he waved his hand for everyone to keep on going.

But in the next second, an ear-piercing alarm went off.

"Emergency report: Unable to inject. The alloy needle is unable to pierce into the specimen's body, it has snapped."

"What?" The elderly scientist was surprised; he knew how strong the alloy needle was, and it could easily puncture an armor!

"Was it because the melting was not thorough? The body hasn't fully thawed?"

"The melting process was successful, and the body is already soft. But its skin is unusually tough. Chief, what should we do now?"

"Inject the exen guidance energy immediately for strong stimulation," the chief scientist ordered firmly, but he seemed disappointed. The other scientists around him had the same expression too.

They knew very well that the probability of a revival was very low. Based on the past experiments, the specimen had to go through the brain and organ restoration right after it was thawed, then there would be a possibility that it would be alive. Blood preserved best in extremely low temperatures, and the one with the most damage was the brain. If the brain could not be restored immediately, and unless it was frozen for only a couple of hours, there wouldn't even be one percent chance of a revival. Moreover, this specimen had already been frozen for thousands of years. Those restoration fluids prepared for it were the strongest, but now, they were unable to inject it into its body and merely soaked it in it— the result would definitely fall short by a large degree.

Following the infusion of the spirit guidance power into the petri dish, it started to release a faint white glow.

"We were too careless and didn't prepare for a situation like this. This experiment is very different, and there is a possibility that it was a spirit beast cultivated into a human being which is why the body is so strong. It is too late to change the needle right now. If I've known sooner, I would have gotten the strongest needle from the headquarters. I will bear this responsibility," the Chief Doctor said as he shook his head and pushed his glasses up.

"Chief, don't say that! All of us didn't consider this problem so we should all bear this responsibility together!" a middle-aged man next to him hurriedly said.

"General Ray I am sorry for wasting your time about this."

"No the Night Watcher Military is grateful you called us so what if it doesn't work at list we are alright," General Ray said.

"Wait a minute, look at this, everyone." Suddenly, an old female scientist who was on the other side suddenly pointed at the petri dish.

All the scientists turned to look, and to their surprise, the murky liquid in the petri dish started to turn transparent, and the figure inside became clearer.

"This is..."

When the human figure was gradually revealed, everyone was stunned.

There was a young man who laid there, he wore white black jumper, his hair was dark purple that was extremely long. Although his eyes were closed, those long eyelashes made one's heart flutter. All the male and female researchers present couldn't help but be attracted to him, and they were dumbstruck.

"Quick, increase the amount of spirit guidance power. She seems to be absorbing the nutrient fluid in the petri dish by herself! Replace the nutrient fluid, quick!" the chief scientist was yelling frantically and woke up those scientists who were in a daze.

The lab was busy once again, and the scientists were moving speedily.

The nutrient fluid in the petri dish was replaced, and they continued pouring the spirit guidance power in. However, something strange happened. No matter how much they poured that nutrient fluid in, the liquid in the petri dish remained clear. It was as if that young guy's body was a black hole as he engulfed all the nutrients and spirit guidance power.

This process took an entire hour.

"Did he just make a frown!" young scientists asked as she looked at the screen in front of her she waved her hand and the screen changed in the next moment.

There was no need to prove what he said because in the next moment, through the audio equipment, there was a light heartbeat that was picked up.

Thump thump, thump thump, thump thump.

To the scientists, this was simply music to the ears! What surprised them further was that the young guy's eyelashes moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were light golden; there was no light in them, and they revealed clear signs of exhaustion. He looked blankly at the petri dish in front of her and lifted her arm like she wanted to move.

"Stop the infusion of nutrient fluid! Release the nutrient fluid and start the infusion of oxygen," the chief scientist quickly ordered. The most worrying thing that could happen to a person who was just cryogenically revived was suffocation, and this could cause second brain death.

The young guy slowly reached over toward the mask as he tried to breathe in and out quietly his eyes blank he didn't seem to understand what was happening around him. 

General Ray has already connected his base and his boss about the matter. 

The liquid was poured out in torrents and oxygen was infused. That young man's eyes seemed to turn dimmer. 

"I'm so tired, who am I? Where am I?" He mumbled.

"So bright so tired," he muttered again and he closed his eyes and he fall asleep again.
