5 p.m. in Hong Kong is the time when the streets are full of cars. The city grew from a port city ruled by foreigners to become the densest concrete jungle.
In the modern era, whenever he came to this city, he always found things different than he remembered.
It had been 30 years since the last time he came, he was flying in the sky, his gaze fell on a skyscraper in the center of the city.
On the highest floor of the building was a large room that was almost completely empty except for a hospital bed and an old man lying on it. Surprisingly, the old man was wearing a virtual reality helmet. Of course, it was the newest breed, the striking futuristic design made Mei Mei's helmet look like an old, worn-out item.
"Oh, little Chuan, it's been 30 years and you're almost dead," he said as he looked at the old man.
He was not someone else, but the thirtieth generation of his descendants.
Like him, his descendants were naturally quality humans, they were not the most powerful people, but always the elite in every era, that was without his help at all.
He entered the building through the entrance on the roof of the building, a warning alarm sounded the moment he arrived inside the building.
The old man who was wearing a virtual reality helmet woke up, he took off his helmet only to be surprised. He pressed the big red button beside him, causing the alarm to stop.
However, it was obviously too late as a group of men in black suits also entered the room.
They were shocked to see Luo Tian, wondering how he got in since the only path leading to the room was guarded by them. Nor did they see any approaching helicopters.
The old man Luo Chuan waved his hand at them before they took action, "come back, he is not the enemy" he said.
They were naturally still suspicious, but Luo Chuan's orders were not something they could challenge.
The old man was about to get up from his bed, but Luo Tian flicked his finger, a faint energy radiated from the finger, stopping the man from getting up.
"If you count the time, you have three months to live at most, just enjoy your old age," Luo Tian said without holding back the slightest bit.
He then sat down on the sofa by the side of the bed.
Luo Chuan coughed a few times, not a hint of fear on his face as he knew how much longer he could live, he casually replied, "Seeing you again in the last remnants of my life is a great blessing. I thought I'd never see you again."
"Yeah, I wouldn't have come if it weren't for something." Luo Tian stared at the virtual helmet in Luo Chuan's hands before continuing, "Are you playing the game called World of Cultivation?"
"You know, ancestor?" He was a little surprised.
"Do you think I'm hiding underground. I came to ask you about it. To think that even an old man like you would play it."
"Emmm, it's very popular indeed, even my generation's friends play it too, but playing games doesn't seem like something suitable for old people like us, this is ultimately a stage for young people."
"Then why are you guys playing this game, is there anything out of the ordinary here?"
Luo Chuan was silent for a long time before sighing. "Actually no one knows, who made it, who promoted it, no one knows, it suddenly appeared and spread on the internet like a virus. That's a reality only the elites know, now each of them is racing to find out the secret of this game."
"I see, this is quite a surprise."
Luo Tian started to think and speculate on his own.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
The door to the room suddenly opened, a woman who looked to be in her 17's then entered.
She had short slightly golden hair, an oval face with a sharp nose and a pair of sharp eyebrows.
Her face is mixed with western shades, and it stands out even more because of her blue eyes.
Her body was also quite tall, it was over 170-cm. She wore long jeans and a short tank top that didn't reach her stomach.
At first glance she looks a little tomboyish, but her feminine side is still clearly visible because of the three long gold earrings in each ear.
She stepped towards Luo Tian and Luo Chuan, her gaze kept on Luo Tian's face.
Several times she knitted her brows.
Luo Chuan who was lying down quickly sat up, he said, "Bella, quickly pay respects to the ancestor!"
Bella didn't seem surprised by Luo Chuan's words, she probably already guessed it. But she didn't follow his orders.
When she arrived in front of the sitting Luo Tian, she looked at him from his face to his feet.
He, on the other hand, remained relaxed, her belly quite sexy, but it didn't affect him at all.
"So you are the ancestor of the Luo family, which is said to be an immortal and has lived since 1500 years ago?" Bella spoke. "You look only a little older than me, no matter if you are really an ancestor, I will not pay respects to you."
Hearing her words, Luo Chuan almost coughed up blood in anger, his hands shaking so much that he almost fell.
Luo Tian stopped him from speaking, he lifted his head to look at the girl standing in front of him.
"Little girl, the last time I came to this building, you weren't even born yet, you know, I usually throw unfilial offspring into the sea," he said.
"Oh, are you trying to scare me? But even if you throw me from this building, I still won't be afraid."
"I know, if you are afraid, I will doubt your bloodline. But don't worry little girl, you are not even 20 years old, in my eyes, you are still a child whose mistakes can be forgiven."
"You."
Her face slightly flushed, being called a little girl clearly made her uncomfortable.
"So you think you're great because you're 1500 years old?" she asked.
"Why not? Everyone is always proud of their own merits. Aren't you the same? From your attitude, you are clearly an arrogant little girl. And look at your grandfather, he is also a proud man, but he is not yet 100 years old and he is almost dead. I, on the other hand, am already 1500 years old, and I still look so young, living a few thousand more years is fine with me. You won't find someone greater than me on this earth, there's nothing wrong with feeling proud."
Bella, "..."
"How dare you insult my grandfather, old demon, you are just an old creature who should have died a long time ago."
Whoosh...
Suddenly she pointed her leg towards his face, it very flexible and fast, she must have been practicing martial arts since childhood.
Luo Tian just smiled as he saw her leg moving towards his face, he didn't dodge or try to stop it.
Bang...
The leg ended up hitting his face, but what happened was not as expected. The leg seemed to kick hot steel, the sound of bones cracking could be heard.
Bella's skin turned deathly pale, she looked like she had lost all her blood.
"Bella," Luo Chuan shouted in worry.
"Ahhhh..." She finally screamed in pain.
Only those who have experienced bone crushing know how painful it is.
"Ancestor, please heal her," Luo Chuan looked unable to bear seeing his granddaughter suffer, he quickly pleaded.
Luo Tian didn't answer, even so, he stretched out his hand to her injured leg, milky white spiritual energy radiating in his hand. It entered her leg, soon after, Bella's skin turned red again as if she had just received a blood supply.
She stopped screaming and showed a surprised expression when she saw the hand that was holding her leg.
"Are you in awe now, little girl?" Luo Tian said with a faint smile.
Luo Chuan heaved a sigh of relief, he said, "Little girl, hurry up and thank the ancestor or I will break your leg as punishment."
Bella, "..."
She looked like she was about to cry.
The door opened again, another woman entered.
This time maybe in his 25s.
She wore a knee-length skirt and a white shirt with black stripes.
Her long hair is in a neat bun and her facial structure is very similar to Bella except that she is a completely East Asian woman.
She was observing Luo Tian, but her expression was calm and her demeanor was polite.
When she arrived in front of him, she slightly bowed.
"Greetings ancestor, I am Luo Shen, the 32nd generation of the Luo family, if you have a need, you can tell me. Even though I am only a mortal woman who is insignificant in the eyes of an immortal like you, out of my respect for you, I am ready to even cross the lake of fire for you."
Her voice was gentle and her words filled with condescension and devotion.
Luo Tian who had just sat down looked at her with an interested expression.
At the same time, Bella looked at her with cold eyes, there seemed to be a grudge between them.
"Bitch, stop pretending, do you want to take advantage of her now? You two-faced woman," she said.
Luo Shen looked back at her, her expression still calm as she replied, "little sister, I know you hate me, that's our business, but you shouldn't be disrespectful to our ancestor. Without his noble blood flowing through our bodies, how could we possibly enjoy all the peak lives of humans."
"Hmph, you are indeed good at putting together words, but don't think everyone is stupid and believe your hypocritical face. I'm really ashamed to have a cousin like you."
"Little sister, you are too young and hot-blooded, good at pretending and having two faces is also part of one's abilities. Of course, I know the ancestor can notice my nature at a glance, but I would be even more hypocritical if I tried to hide my true nature in front of him. I was just showing him what I was like."
"..."
