Chapter 1: A Century Later

TL: Etude

In a messy bedroom, on a wooden bed.

"My head hurts so much!!!"

"Am I... still alive?"

Ye Tian's confused thoughts slowly cleared, and memories of his past life gradually surfaced.

At the same time, a new set of memories merged with his soul.

"I've traveled through time!"

He chuckled bitterly, for this body was not his own, but belonged to a boy with the same name.

He came from the year 2019, but it was now 2119, also known as the 100th year of the new era.

In other words, he had arrived in a time one hundred years later.

This era was known as the Qi Era, also referred to as the Talent Era.

Ye Tian absorbed the information of the last hundred years in his mind.

In early 2019, Earth had many spatial rifts appear, and countless beasts emerged from these rifts. Humanity fell from the top of the food chain, barely surviving under the threat of the beasts.

In an attempt to fight the beasts, humanity used firearms and other modern weapons, but a mysterious substance appeared on Earth, later called Qi, which disrupted the structure of these weapons, rendering even nuclear bombs as useful as scrap iron.

Humans were thrust back into an age of cold weapons, and were hardly a match for the beasts with such primitive tools.

Fortunately, the first beasts to arrive were low-level beasts, giving humanity a chance to survive.

After much research by scientists, humans discovered that the mysterious substance known as Qi could be harnessed. A new profession emerged – martial warriors!

Train the body, absorb Qi, break through human limits, and become a martial warrior.

Simultaneously, human talents were awakened.

Only a few had talents, and the most common was cultivation talent. Cultivation talent determined a person's potential achievement. Besides cultivation talents, there were other talents like blade talent, flame talent, ice talent, etc.

Relying on talents and warriors, humans gradually could contend with the beasts. However, most of the Earth was occupied by the beasts, with only a few areas held by humans, where they established survival bases.

Worth mentioning, Earth had expanded hundreds of times, possibly influenced by Qi.

Martial disciples and martial warriors were the first two levels of cultivation. Martial disciple was not considered a real level, while martial warrior was the first real level, requiring a thousand catties of strength to reach.

But to become a martial warrior, the minimum requirement was low talent, which was a level higher than weak talent. Although someone with low talent might only become an early-stage martial warrior in their lifetime, they at least had hope. Once they became a martial warrior, even at the early stage, they were considered powerful figures, towering above ordinary people.

But those with weak talent were stuck in an awkward position. Even if they cultivated for a lifetime, they could only remain as martial disciples.

"If only I could change my talent!" Ye Tian comforted himself.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A series of knocks sounded on the door.

"Brother, are you in there?"

A young girl's voice came from outside.

Ye Tian knew it was his sister in this life, Ye Yu, who was 13 years old.

He opened the door to see a cute girl who looked like a porcelain doll.

"Brother, what's your talent?" Ye Yu asked curiously.

One's talent was always kept a secret. Unless it was a close relative, asking about someone's talent was considered taboo. After all, nobody wanted their talent to be known by others. For example, some people with high talent might become targets for assassination if their specific talents were revealed.

In this world, such things have happened before.

So, nobody was allowed to ask about others' talents.

However, Ye Tian wouldn't blame his sister.

"Little Yu, brother's talent is pretty good. I can definitely become a great martial warrior in the future!" Ye Tian looked at Little Yu with a slight smile, but the smile was filled with bitterness.

But the next moment.

His pupils contracted, he was shocked!

A virtual image appeared on his retina.

Human: Ye Yu

Cultivation Talent: Low

Ice Talent: Elementary (Unawakened)
