"In the Profound Heaven Realm, on the Eastern Continent of the Heavenly Martial Continent, east of the Azure Sun Mountain Range, there's a Peach Blossom Mountain Plain with relatively thin and barren spiritual energy.
Hundreds of villages of various sizes stand on this plain, and Peach Blossom Village is one of them."
Late at night, in a humble farmhouse in Peach Blossom Village, in a simple, unadorned room, sat a cute little boy, about ten years old.
He was so adorable, one couldn't help but want to pinch his rosy cheeks. Tang Changsheng was currently staring blankly at a small, pitch-black disc, illuminated by the moonlight.
Tang Changsheng's thoughts drifted, recalling his parents from his previous life.
That's right, this little boy before him was originally a promising young man from the 21st century on Earth, just about a month away from graduating from a prestigious university.
With a privileged background, his future was bright, and he was on the verge of living a life of luxury, with fancy cars, beautiful women, and endless indulgence.
One evening, Tang Changsheng heard his roommate say, "There's an underground black market near the school with a lot of good stuff you can't find anywhere else. Want to go check it out?"
This piqued Tang Changsheng's strong interest. Driven by curiosity, he and a few roommates agreed to visit the black market the next afternoon to broaden their horizons.
The next afternoon, Tang Changsheng and his roommates went to the black market, and everything felt incredibly new and exciting.
As he wandered, he was drawn to a black disc and an exquisite jade slip. As if by a ghostly impulse, he walked over to the stall.
Tang Changsheng stared intently at the small black disc, unable to tear his eyes away. The vendor, seeing a young man who had taken an interest in his merchandise and was well-dressed, assumed he would be generous and prepared to swindle Tang Changsheng thoroughly.
So, the vendor had a flash of inspiration and began to spiel, "Young man, look, this disc and jade slip are exquisitely crafted, truly rare treasures.
My ancestors found them in a mysterious cave, nearly losing their lives in the process, and cherished them as precious heirlooms, keeping them until now."
"If it weren't for the difficulties my family is facing and the need to raise a large sum of money, I would never part with this disc." The vendor spoke with great emotion, wiping away non-existent tears, and cried out, "Oh, what an unfilial descendant I am, I'm so sorry to my ancestors!"
Seeing that the moment was right, the vendor said, "Young man, I see you're sincere about buying, and you're a fated person. I'll sell it to you for a hundred thousand yuan. What do you say?" The vendor looked at Tang Changsheng with a sincere expression.
Tang Changsheng looked at the vendor, then turned to look at his roommates, who had been completely taken in by the spiel. He spread his hands, as if to say, "Do I look like a sucker?"
To his surprise, his roommates nodded, then quickly shook their heads when they saw his face darken.
After an intense negotiation with the vendor, Tang Changsheng managed to haggle the price down from a hundred thousand yuan to a mere three thousand yuan, astonishing his companions.
He spent three thousand yuan and, under the vendor's murderous gaze, successfully took possession of the black jade disc and jade slip.
The black disc felt cool to the touch, as if it had slightly alleviated the summer heat. Tang Changsheng thought to himself, "Did I just strike gold?"
In the evening, as Tang Changsheng and his roommates left the black market street, they were egged on by his roommates to celebrate at a nearby restaurant before returning to the school dormitory.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, "a taxi on the road suddenly lost its brakes. The taxi, out of control, careened wildly, heading straight for a little boy on the sidewalk.
In this critical moment, Tang Changsheng, disregarding his own safety, darted towards the little boy.
Just as the taxi was about to hit the boy, he pushed the boy to the other side of the road."
"He himself, however, was struck by the runaway taxi and sent flying several meters, landing heavily on the ground."
Tang Changsheng felt his body convulse, an agonizing, heart-wrenching pain.
In the eyes of passersby, Tang Changsheng was covered in blood, a horrifying sight. As his consciousness was about to plunge into darkness, he thought, "Am I going to die?"
"I haven't even managed to win over the campus belle yet, I'm so unwilling!"
"Tang Changsheng's roommates and best friends saw him thrown several meters by the taxi."
Their hearts tightened, and they quickly rushed to Tang Changsheng's side. Seeing him covered in blood, they frantically took off their clothes to apply pressure to his wounds to stop the bleeding, and continuously called out his name loudly, trying to keep Tang Changsheng from losing consciousness.
Before falling unconscious, Tang Changsheng heard the screams and commotion of passersby, and also heard someone urgently dialing 120 for an ambulance!
What Tang Changsheng didn't know was that the black disc in his embrace suddenly trembled, rapidly absorbing the blood flowing from him. At this moment, the sky suddenly flashed with lightning and roared with thunder, and strong winds swept through.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a white light quietly arrived, enveloping Tang Changsheng's soul and gradually disappearing from Earth, constantly traversing through spatial turbulence. Enormously vast and mysterious world light spheres floated past Tang Changsheng's soul.
Time slowly passed. Tang Changsheng's soul gradually felt more and more weary. Drifting and wandering in the timeless spatial turbulence, his soul was slowly growing stronger.
After enduring countless years of loneliness, solitude, and cold, Tang Changsheng's soul lost interest in everything, as if he had seen through it all, no longer feeling any novelty or curiosity about anything.
A strong light assailed Tang Changsheng's soul. The black disc emitted a faint yet powerful light, enveloping his soul.
The small black disc and the strong light were in a stalemate. In Tang Changsheng's soul-vision, it seemed as if both sides were making some kind of transaction.
Suddenly, a strong light came, pulling Tang Changsheng's soul into an ancient, vast, and profound world.
When Tang Changsheng woke up again, he instinctively moved his limbs, only to realize something was wrong. "He had become a five-month-old embryo, still developing in his mother's womb!"
Every night, a man's voice would appear, patting his mother's belly.
He often talked to himself, which made Tang Changsheng a bit depressed. He still had to stay in his mother's womb for several months, feeling very gloomy and helpless.
Thus, Tang Changsheng spent his days in a daze, diligently absorbing nutrients in his mother's belly.
Tang Changsheng also discovered the small disc beside him, emitting a faint light that nourished his mother's body."
As time passed, one night, with a loud cry from the pregnant woman.
The Tang family courtyard was brightly lit. Tang Yuanshan and his father were pacing back and forth in the courtyard, looking very anxious.
Tang Yuanshan looked at his father and said, "Qing'er, she'll be alright, won't she?"
Tang Tianhuai nodded affirmingly. "She'll be fine."
Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and torrential rain poured down, as if the will of heaven and earth was celebrating Tang Changsheng's arrival in this world.
And in the deepest part of the Profound Heaven Great World, in a mysterious space, the Eye of Heavenly Dao appeared, exuding an aura of world-destroying power, as if to annihilate the world, but it was blocked by a halo in the mysterious space.
The Eye of Heavenly Dao glanced at Peach Blossom Village, where Tang Changsheng was about to be born, and then disappeared. All the supreme powerhouses in the world felt a premonition and simultaneously looked towards the deepest part of the world.
Inside the delivery room of the Tang family courtyard, suddenly, the cry of a baby rang out. The midwife picked up Tang Changsheng, hurried out of the delivery room, and loudly announced, "Congratulations to the Tang family, mother and son are safe!"
Tang Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the infant, and a smile appeared on his lips. Tang Tianhuai gave the midwife a red envelope and then took Tang Changsheng into his arms.
Tang Yuanshan, impatient, rushed into the delivery room, walked to Zhou Qing's side with a pained expression, and gently stroked Zhou Qing's head.
"Qing'er, it's a boy. You've worked hard!"
"You've brought forth a new branch for the Tang family." Zhou Qing nodded gently, then fell into a deep sleep.
The next evening, the Tang clan members of Peach Blossom Village gathered to discuss what to name the newborn baby. In the end, it was Ah Gong, the most respected elder of the Tang clan, who named him Tang Changsheng, signifying a long life and good health.
Tang Changsheng sighed in his heart!
What a coincidence, his name was Tang Changsheng in his previous life, and he didn't expect it to be the same in this life.
He always felt that something in the In the dark was scheming against him.
Time, as always, slipped away unnoticed.
Because Tang Changsheng's soul had endured countless years of refinement in space, and had been tempered by the formation plate, it became extraordinarily powerful. This powerful soul energy inadvertently nourished Tang Changsheng's body, causing his physical development to be much faster than other children's.
"At one year old, Tang Changsheng could speak clearly and logically; at two, he could recognize a thousand characters; at five, he could write a hundred poems. By the age of ten, his reputation as a child prodigy had spread throughout the entire Peach Blossom Mountain Plain, making him a household name."
