In the year 2220 AD, the countries of the world launched a nuclear war. Suddenly, smoke rose everywhere. The earth suffered a devastating blow. The world's population dropped from 5 billion to less than 10 million. Mutated zombies wreaked havoc everywhere. The armies of the countries could not even protect themselves. Humanity was about to perish.
A huge black shadow covered the sky, and a sinister smiling face appeared in the sky. Immediately, the world darkened.
" Looks like the prophecy is true." In the narrow crack of the stone, a thin old man leaned against the edge of the broken wall. His body was riddled with holes from the nuclear radiation, and his aura was drifting.
" Wa!" A cry sounded. The old man looked in the direction of the cry. It was a small tent. The tent was in tatters. Inside, a woman was sweating profusely as she held a baby.
" Xuan Yue, you've given birth. You've given birth." A man in a military uniform carried the child with tears streaming down his face.
" This is the first baby we've had in a few years. The heavens have eyes. Let humanity survive," the man shouted excitedly at the heavens.
" Hahahaha!" An ear-piercing laughter echoed through the world. A black shadow flashed past where the man was standing.
" My child, my child!" The woman cried out in shock.
" Give it to your child. Humanity will be extinct from now on, hahahaha." The black shadow disappeared like a fog, leaving behind the tattered clothes that wrapped around the baby.
The woman hurriedly picked up the baby." My child, you damned demon, return my child." The woman instantly fainted.
The man hurriedly picked up the woman and the baby in his arms, but he saw that the baby's vital meridians had all been severed and there was no life left.
The old man looked at this scene and shook his head in pain." Go. I've been waiting for ten thousand years for this moment. The cause of the previous life and the effect of this life should have been caused by you. Why did you have to do it in the first place?”
The old man took out a coin from his pocket and shot a red light at the baby. It entered the baby's body, but the man did not notice it.
" I can only do this. Whether or not you can save the world, let's see your good fortune." The old man laughed at the sky and instantly turned into dust.
In the 12th year of Emperor Sui's reign, the emperor passed away and the crown prince was not appointed. The two regents of the Heavenly State appointed the four-year-old Third Prince as the emperor. Many of the vassals in various places were not convinced. Therefore, there were the vassals of the East China Sea, Ao Xin and Ao Zhi, who wanted to make the second prince Zhi the emperor. The imperial uncle of the Xiye fief, Sui Cheng, and the vassal of the West River, Wu Guangli, wanted to make the sixth prince Yan Zhe the emperor. The vassals of Nanling, Yang Gongwang and Tai Bai Long, wanted to make the eldest prince the emperor. The other vassals all wanted to make the prince the emperor. After a few arguments, the power was uneven and the people could not accept it. The various vassals attacked each other, causing chaos and bloodshed. The people were in dire straits. The population of Heavenly State had decreased from tens of millions ten years ago to less than ten million.
The civilians fled for their lives in the chaos of war, but they had nowhere to go. The temples in heaven were filled with poor people who worshipped Buddha and sought immortality. They wailed and begged for mercy from the heavens, but the human world had already become purgatory.
Although there were powerful countries in the south, Xichuan, and Donghai, demons and ghosts also waited for an opportunity to appear and devour the people. Some of the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in the Heavenly State also participated in the competition of power between the various vassals in the name of killing demons and eliminating demons, hoping to dominate the world after the world was unified. Before the demon was eliminated, the army was in chaos, and the people of the world were pitiful.
There was a family named Murong in Fulu County of Xichuan. They were the remains of the previous imperial family. After they concealed their identity, they became rich through business. They were originally a wealthy family. Due to the chaos in the world and the conquest of the vassals, Wu Guangxian, the vassal of Xichuan, forcefully recruited wealthy merchants from all over the world to donate money to the war. Although it was a donation, it was actually a robbery. In order to escape the war, the Murong family moved. However, they encountered mountain bandits on the way and lost all their finances. The family of more than 20 people was left with only Master Murong, his wife Li, and the butler Murong Kang. The three of them escaped for their lives and hid deep in the mountains. They lived in straw huts and hunted for a living. Master Murong and his wife did not know how to hunt. The housekeeper, Murong Kang, was a warrior. He was not surnamed Murong. He was caught killing an officer by mistake. Fortunately, Master Murong passed by and saved him with 300 taels of silver. He was grateful and accompanied him. Master Murong changed his name to Murong Kang. He hunted for food for the two of them all day long. He barely made a living.
Master Murong's name was Murong Xian, and he was already in his early thirties. His wife was four years younger than him. The two of them were indeed loving, but they did not have any children. It was a pity.
Three years later, Madam Li suddenly became pregnant. Murong Xian cried tears of joy and knelt down to the heavens. Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed across the sky, followed by magpies. When Murong Xian saw this, she was sure that the child would be very rich.
After ten months of pregnancy, Murong Xian had Murong Kang go down the mountain to find a midwife. After half a month, the madam felt a sharp pain and the child was about to be born.
The midwife quickly prepared the items and delivered the baby for the madam. Just as she was delivering the baby, the birds in the forest chirped happily, and the multicolored light filled the surroundings of the straw hut. Murong Xian and Murong Kang were not only stunned, but they also cheered excitedly.
Suddenly, a red light shot out from the straw hut, followed by the sound of a baby crying. The midwife shouted happily,"I gave birth, I gave birth, I gave birth to a big fat boy..." When Master Murong heard that it was a big fat boy, he was so excited that he did not know what to do. He hurriedly rushed in and picked up the child to take a look. He saw that the child was surrounded by a red light and had a very healthy physique. Just as he was happy, his expression changed slightly.
Madam Li's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly asked," Master? What's wrong?"
Murong Xian saw the dark half-moon birthmark on the child's forehead and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Why couldn't such a good child be flawless? He showed it to Madam. When Madam saw it, she was happy and said, Old Master, it's already not bad for us to have a child in our middle age. Even if the child has a birthmark, it's nothing. It means that our child is different.
Murong Xian heard what his wife said, and the auspicious signs that had happened before and after her birth, and the darkness in her heart dissipated.
" Yes, yes, Master. I think your child will be very successful in the future. His cries are louder than all the children I've delivered before," the midwife echoed.
Murong Xian was even happier. She took out two strings of money and gave it to the midwife. The midwife left happily.
Murong Kang looked at the joyous Old Master and Madam and couldn't help but feel happy.
"Master, what do you think we should name our child?”the madam asked.
" This…" Murong Xian was also stunned. After a while, she said," This child has a moon-shaped birthmark on his forehead after he was born. He also has an auspicious sign covering his body. His future is limitless. Why don't we call him Murong Yuelong? I hope he can become a formidable figure in this world."
After Madam and Murong Kang heard this, they were both very satisfied.
Four years later, a child dressed in animal skin was playing in the forest. The child was already four years old and had distinct facial features. Only a black moon-shaped birthmark on his forehead was very eye-catching. This child was Murong Xian's only son, Murong Yuelong.
" Young Master, it's time to practice martial arts," a muscular man urged Murong Yuelong from afar.
" Got it, Uncle Murong," the child replied.
In the past four years, Murong Yuelong only remembered his father, mother, and Murong Kang. He had never seen anyone else and had always thought that there were only four people in this world. Murong Xian and his wife doted on Murong Yuelong, but they also taught him some manners. Then, they spent two hours a day reading and writing. Murong Kang taught Murong Yuelong to train his body and learn simple martial arts for four hours every day.
For some reason, Murong Yuelong seemed to have been born with an especially smart mind. He understood everything that Murong Xian and the other two were teaching him in less than an hour. Therefore, in the past four years, the four-year-old Murong Yuelong could not only understand many books, but his physique was also very tough. It was very easy for him to go up the mountain to catch wild rabbits.
Murong Xian felt that the couple couldn't teach Murong Yuelong much anymore, so they decided to hire a teacher to teach him.
" Father, Mother, I'm back. Look, I caught another wild rabbit today." Murong Yuelong excitedly held up a live rabbit for Murong Xian to see.
Murong Xian looked at Murong Yuelong in satisfaction. His wife pulled Murong Yuelong over and rubbed her head,""Child, rabbits are also alive. You can't catch one every day. It's good enough that we have enough to eat.”
Murong Yuelong looked at his mother." Then, Mother, I'll let you go. But I have a question for you."”
" Ask away," Consort Li said with a smile.
"Since the heavens have the virtue of cherishing life, is the heavens also human? Were there immortals in the sky? " Also…" Murong Yuelong asked a few questions in one breath.
" How is that a problem? Hehe." Consort Li hugged Murong Yuelong and laughed.
"There are immortals in the sky, and they all live in the sky. The sky is not human. It is the ruler of all things in the world, understand?”
"Why is it the Ruler and I am not?”Murong Yuelong's sudden words shocked Murong Xian and the others.
" Looks like this kid isn't an ordinary person." Murong Xian and his wife, Li Shi, both turned to smile at each other.
"Child, we want to hire a teacher to teach you, okay?”Murong Xian asked.
"Sir? "Daddy, sure. I've never seen anyone else since I was young. You must invite a teacher for me." Murong Yuelong clapped his hands happily.
" Haha, I finally have a teacher. I finally meet an outsider."
Murong Xian and Madam Li's hearts sank. That's right, in order to avoid the world, we have also suffered for this child. He doesn't know how good the outside world is. Perhaps this child should go to the mortal world to temper himself. After all, he won't grow up in the forest. We can't let him live in a place where he lives with wild beasts.
The two of them felt depressed.
" Father, Mother, did I say something wrong?" Murong Yuelong looked at Murong Xian and Mu Ling 'er's expressions and thought that he had said something to make them unhappy. However, he didn't know what was on their minds.
" No…" Consort Li pulled Murong Yuelong into her embrace." Maybe you shouldn't be living here."
