In the year 2023, the newly turned zombie, Cold Moon, went into hiding with the accompaniment of the vampire ancestor, Cold Wind.
In the year 3042, the ancestor of the mutated zombies, Tianquan Laozu, who had already become a dog spirit, vigorously bred zombies. For a time, the zombie storm swept across the highly civilized Earth. As Tianquan Laozu was a dog spirit and did not share human blood, most of the people he bit became mutated zombies with rotting bodies.
In the year 3043, the vampire ancestor, Cold Wind, was chased by Tianquan Laozu’s zombie army and had no choice but to give three people the first embrace, giving birth to the second generation of vampires. In the same year, the third and fourth generations were also born, with 15 third-generation vampires and 68 fourth-generation vampires.
In the year 3044, the vampire legion, the mutated zombie legion, and the human alliance began to wage war.
In the year 3047, the war between the three races reached a white-hot stage, and a large number of high-tech weapons were detonated. The spiritual energy that had shrunk and sunk into the depths of the earth since ancient times was once again blasted open, and the earth was filled with spiritual energy again. The seven continents merged into one. The cultivators who had left the earth in ancient times returned to the earth. The earth returned to the era of high civilization (the Silver Age in Mayan civilization, the prehistoric age in Chinese civilization, and the age of gods in Greek civilization). A new era began.
In the first year of the new era, that is, in the year 3110 AD, the vampire ancestor, Cold Wind, according to the law of the cultivators, comprehended the way of blood and began to practice the dead spirit immortal. During this period, he tried many times to awaken the sleeping Cold Moon, but all failed. Cold Moon still lurked in the dark blood and black soil, sleeping.
In the year 735 of the new era, the vampire ancestor, Cold Wind, gave birth to “Blood Infant” (similar to the Yuan Ying of the cultivators), truly began to cultivate, and created the Blood Refining Sect. All vampires before the fourth generation became his disciples. After the fourth generation, due to impure bloodlines, they were unable to practice the way of blood.
In the same year, the vampire ancestor, Cold Wind, led the disciples of the Blood Refining Sect to completely annihilate the Blood God Society founded by Tianquan Laozu. Tianquan Laozu was seriously injured and fled, and later joined the secret organization Blood Revenge Gate on the planet Landa.
In the year 3579 of the new era, the vampire ancestor Cold Wind led the Blood Refining Sect to destroy the Blood Revenge Gate and dominate the world of cultivation, marking the beginning of the most glorious era of vampires. The mutated zombie clan hid in the desolate areas of various planets.
In the year 7356 of the new era, the vampire ancestor Cold Wind became a dead spirit immortal and ascended to the immortal realm. The major sects of the cultivation world were eager to move, but because the Blood Refining Sect still had many experts in the way of blood, the major sects still dared not act rashly. However, the Blood Refining Sect was no longer as unscrupulous as before.
In the year 9534 of the new era, Tianquan Laozu became a dead spirit immortal and ascended to the immortal realm. The war in the immortal realm began.
In the year 11089 of the new era, three second-generation vampires and one outstanding third-generation vampire became dead spirit immortals and ascended to the immortal realm at the same time.
In the year 11090 of the new era, the Cultivator Alliance began to attack the Blood Refining Sect. The Blood Refining Sect was destroyed, and the third and fourth generations of vampires suffered heavy losses and went into hiding to cultivate. The glorious era of vampires came to an end, and the descendants of vampires lived among humans.
In the year 11237 of the new era, because vampires killed too many humans, the cultivation world began to kill vampires. However, vampires were almost the same as humans, and cultivators with low cultivation levels could not recognize them.
In the year 11239 of the new era, the major cultivation sects began to teach humans ancient martial arts, hoping that humans would have the ability to hunt vampires themselves. For a time, vampire hunters became the most fashionable, glorious, and profitable profession.
In the year 13504 of the new era, the “Cold Wind Diary” written by the vampire ancestor Cold Wind was unearthed from the Blood Refining Sect site on Earth. The book recorded that Cold Wind had a younger brother named Cold Moon, who was lurking somewhere on Earth at the time. The cultivation world was afraid that Cold Wind would dominate the immortal realm, and the cultivation world also feared that Cold Moon would dominate it. Therefore, they prepared to kill Cold Moon before he woke up. However, after searching the Earth many times, they did not find him. Therefore, the cultivation world and the mortal world issued a wanted order, and for a time, the name Cold Moon became a taboo. Anyone named Cold Moon was hunted down by the cultivation world.
Around the year 18455 of the new era, according to news from the immortal realm, the war between Cold Wind and Tianquan Laozu reached a white-hot stage, and many immortals died. The peaceful immortal world was filled with the flames of war. For a time, cowardly cultivators disbanded and became scattered immortals and demon immortals. Thousands of years later, the cultivation world suddenly had more than twenty scattered immortals and demon immortals. Seven scattered immortals and three demon immortals lived on Earth, practicing hard with the spiritual energy of the Earth, and preparing to kill Cold Moon before he woke up and before he comprehended the way of blood.
In the year 22541 of the new era on Earth, although technology was already very advanced, people practiced ancient martial arts to protect themselves from vampires who hid among the crowds and to avoid becoming food for vampires by accident. The cultivators established four ancient martial arts academies on Earth (namely, the Eastern Academy, Western Academy, Southern Academy, and Northern Academy) to help ordinary people protect themselves and to find talented and well-established disciples for their sects. In addition, after thousands of years of reproduction, vampires have become so numerous that their blood is no longer pure. They are now afraid of sunlight, which causes their bodies to disintegrate and die completely. Therefore, the most commonly used weapons for vampire hunters and ordinary people are light energy weapons.
Although the vampire race has declined, they still believe in a sentence that has been passed down from the vampire ancestor Cold Wind, who is said to have spoken it before he ascended.
“Willful blood clan, disgusted with the corrupt world, began a sleep of tens of thousands of years in the ignorant era, waiting for fresh blood to return quietly and change everything in the world.”
Therefore, to increase their persuasiveness, the vampires living on the brink of collapse have added a sentence at the end: “Leading the blood clan back to glory.” Of course, everyone in the world knows that the willful blood clan referred to in this sentence is Cold Wind’s brother, Cold Moon, a vampire’s hope and a taboo existence in the world of cultivation and secular society.
In the spring of the year 22542 of the new era, there was a coastal plain in the east of the Earth. This plain was called the Deep Blue Plain because it was rich in blue crystals (a medium-grade immortal stone used by cultivators) near the plain. There was a city with a population of about three million in the west of the plain, called Lan City. The Eastern Academy of the four ancient martial arts academies on Earth was located here. Similarly, because of the large population, the proportion of murder cases here was relatively high, and most of them were committed by vampires.
West of the Deep Blue Plain, near a small mountain, there is a piece of black soil with a diameter of five to six meters. For thousands of years, no matter how the wind and rain battered it, the black soil has remained unchanged. In the distant past, people wanted to dig up the black soil to build a statue. However, for some reason, the newly built statue was dissolved by rainwater, and the soil used to build the statue flowed back into the black soil like water, restoring it to its original state. As a result, people have spread rumors that this place is protected by the god of soil and is not to be violated. Cultivators have also come here to inspect it, but they have found nothing. There is no spiritual energy here. On the contrary, occasionally, a hint of blood can be smelled. The cultivators have thus concluded that this place is restricted by some terrible demon, and this area has been designated as a forbidden zone. For thousands of years, ordinary people have never been allowed to enter, and over time, this place has become a desert.
Around 1 a.m., the moon had already descended to the west, and a faint silver light was sprinkled on the plain. The dark blood black soil, which had been silent for thousands of years, shone with a blood-red light. Slowly, the soil began to crack and dissolve, and then it gathered like mercury into a figure about 1.3 meters tall. Then the soil began to solidify, and finally slowly peeled off, revealing the figure of a very cute little boy.
Cold Moon stood up and habitually patted his clothes. Suddenly, he felt that his windbreaker, which had originally fit him perfectly, was several sizes too big.
“What’s going on?” A big question mark appeared in Cold Moon’s mind. “Clothes can’t get bigger. I’ve been hiding for a few years, and maybe my body has changed. Could it be that I’ve gotten smaller?” Thinking of this, Cold Moon quickly rolled up his left sleeve with his right hand and carefully examined his arm.
Now his arm was pink and tender, white and red, just like a newborn baby’s skin. There was no trace of a zombie.
Cold Moon looked up and roared in dissatisfaction, transforming into a zombie form. His fangs and the pattern of the fierce blood bat immediately appeared. He lowered his head and looked at his hand again. According to common sense, a zombie’s form should not be pink.
Indeed, his hand had returned to the pale color with explosive power, and his clothes had also begun to fit him again.
“Ah, finally it’s fixed. It scared me when I suddenly became a shorty. How can I survive like this?” Since nothing happened, Cold Moon returned to his human form.
“What’s going on? It’s happening again.” Cold Moon sighed. After returning to his human form, his clothes became several sizes too big again, and his skin became pink, crystal clear, and tender.
Cold Moon was shocked. He transformed into a zombie again and waved his hands in front of him. With his powerful blood energy, he created a half-meter-sized blood mirror in front of him. Then he transformed back into his human form and looked at his appearance in the blood-red mirror.
His face was still his original face, but with a little more childishness, just like when he was twelve or thirteen years old.
“When I’m in human form, I’m a normal human. When I’m in zombie form, I’m in my original form. So, humans and zombies are completely separated. I can be human or zombie. For humans, I’m no longer an alien. Now I just hope to grow up quickly and have both human and zombie identities. It’s no big deal to be a kid again.” Thinking of this, Cold Moon confirmed his direction and prepared to return to the city to find his older brother.

“Huh? I was clearly hiding near an ancient tomb in the mountains and lakes. How did I get here? Where is this?” A bunch of questions appeared in Cold Moon’s mind. Zombie hibernation is like human sleep, and they have no sense of the passage of time. Although tens of thousands of years have passed, in Cold Moon’s eyes, it was no different from sleeping for one night.
“Did I sleep for many years? Well, maybe. I’ll ask someone what century it is now to determine how long I slept, and then I’ll go find my brother. I wonder how he’s changed and if he’s started drinking human blood.” With that in mind, Cold Moon headed north.
After jumping more than ten meters, Cold Moon turned back to look at the dark soil.
“This soil can turn dead people into zombies and can also turn living zombies into human and zombie forms. Maybe it’s a treasure, at least for zombies. I’ll dig it up now and let my brother hide for a while. Maybe he can also have both human and zombie identities.” Cold Moon made up his mind and used his blood energy to lift and compress the entire dark blood black soil, finally compressing it into a small black-red ball with a diameter of about ten centimeters. This was the highest limit of Cold Moon’s power.
Immediately afterwards, Cold Moon held the dark blood ball in his hand and jumped north.
On the cement road outside Lan City, Cold Moon stopped and turned back into a human. He felt several extremely powerful auras in Lan City and was afraid that if he entered the city in zombie form, he would be attacked as an alien by them. People are selfish, and humans have a saying that goes, “Those who are not of my race have different hearts.” Imagine a zombie appearing in a human city. The citizens would definitely surround and attack it.
With a “bang,” Cold Moon had just turned back into a human when the dark blood ball he was holding with his blood energy fell to the ground, creating a deep pit in the cement road.
“Oh my God, that’s amazing.” Cold Moon was surprised and reached out to grab the dark blood ball. However, the ball was too heavy for him to lift. After turning back into a human, he no longer had any blood energy. The dark blood ball, compressed from dark blood black soil, weighed several tons. How could a thirteen-year-old boy lift such a heavy ball?
Oh my God, what should I do? Cold Moon complained in his heart. If he entered the city in zombie form, he would definitely be attacked by those people with powerful auras. He didn’t know how to fight, so being surrounded would be a disaster. But standing here was also very boring. Alas, there was no way. He could only wait here for a taxi or some other vehicle to come. But strangely, there were no cars on such a large road. What century is it now? Why does the city still have walls?
Thinking about a bunch of questions in his mind, Cold Moon sat down on the side of the road and waited for a car to pass by and take him to the city.
After more than an hour, a figure in a black windbreaker with a long trail of afterimages appeared behind Cold Moon at an extremely fast speed. However, Cold Moon was now a normal human child and couldn’t feel the person’s approach at all.
After a few ups and downs, the man in black had appeared in front of Cold Moon. His deep black eyes stared at Cold Moon intently, trying to see whether the little guy in front of him was human or a blood clan. According to the current situation, ordinary human children would not appear outside the city at night.
Cold Moon saw a pale-skinned man staring at him and frowned, asking, “Who are you?”
“Blood clan, human?” The man in the windbreaker said simply.
“Blood clan, are you a vampire?” Cold Moon asked excitedly. If it was a vampire, that would be great. If he found a vampire, he might be able to find his brother. Maybe the guy in front of him was also his brother’s descendant. After all, he had never seen a vampire in this world before he went into hiding.
The man in the windbreaker opened his mouth and revealed two sharp fangs. His eyes were still cold as he stared at Cold Moon, waiting for him to reveal his fangs. In this era, vampires often encountered each other at night. If they met, the way to confirm their identity was to show their fangs to each other.
“Haha.” Cold Moon laughed happily. He was too happy. He had just woken up and met a vampire. He could find his older brother soon.
“Prove your identity,” the vampire man said coldly.
“Prove my identity? I didn’t bring my ID card. By the way, do you know Cold Wind?” Cold Moon stopped laughing and asked.
The vampire man saw that Cold Moon didn’t know how to prove his identity and immediately thought that Cold Moon was a despicable hunter of humans. He wanted to use a light energy weapon to give himself a fatal blow when he relaxed his vigilance. Just as he was about to attack, he heard Cold Moon mention Cold Wind. The man’s face immediately showed a respectful expression and he asked, “Cold Wind, the ancestor?” In this era, the names Cold Wind and Cold Moon are almost taboo for humans. Humans are not supposed to say these two names because they are afraid of them from the bottom of their hearts.
“Ancestor, haha, call me Brother Ancestor. Are you my brother’s descendant?” Cold Moon laughed again. If it was really his brother’s descendant, it would be so easy to find his brother.
“What’s your name?” The vampire man’s body shook, and he immediately thought of the prophecy that every intelligent creature knew. Could this little boy in front of him be the ancestor’s brother?
“Cold Moon,” Cold Moon said with a smile.
“Please prove your identity?” The vampire man said cautiously. He had encountered this kind of thing before, where a vampire hunter pretended to be Cold Moon and was exposed because he couldn’t prove his identity. Once a vampire hunter was exposed, he immediately picked up a light energy weapon and attacked him.
“How do I prove it? I just woke up from hiding. By the way, what year is it now? I don’t know how many years I’ve slept.”
“Reply with your true blood form?” The vampire man still said coldly. Although he didn’t know what AD was, he knew that Cold Moon was asking him what time it was. Vampires who wake up from hiding usually ask this question. But he couldn’t answer this question now. He had to answer it after Cold Moon proved his identity. If he was really the ancestor’s brother, then he had made it.
Although he didn’t understand why the vampire man always wanted him to prove his identity, Cold Moon still did as he was told. He took a deep breath, roared, and transformed into a zombie form, revealing his sharp teeth, bloodshot eyes, and fierce blood bat pattern.
Seeing Cold Moon’s zombie form, the vampire man immediately knelt down on one knee and respectfully worshipped, “Blood clan 127th generation descendant - Cang Ming pays respects to the ancestor.” Cang Ming didn’t know how to call Cold Moon, so he called him by Cold Wind’s title. Anyway, they were two brothers, so it was okay to call him that.
“127th generation, oh my God! My brother has actually reproduced so many generations. How many years have I slept?” Cold Moon exclaimed in surprise.
“Ancestor, you have been hiding for about 23,000 years.” Cang Ming knelt on the ground and answered respectfully.
“Oh my God, 23,000 years, oh my God, I’m going to faint.” Cold Moon slapped his forehead and fell backwards.
“Ancestor.” Cang Ming shouted anxiously and immediately caught Cold Moon’s falling body.
Cold Moon stood up and asked, “By the way, where is my brother? I want to see him. It’s been more than 20,000 years. He must miss me.”
After speaking, Cold Moon’s mouth showed a mischievous smile, calculating how to embarrass Cold Wind. “It’s been more than 20,000 years. I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees me again. Well, he must be excited to hug me, and then I’ll say, ‘What are two big men doing hugging each other?’ Hehe, he used to say that to me.” Although it had been more than 20,000 years, in Cold Moon’s memory, the scene where Cold Wind refused to hug him was like it happened yesterday.
“Has the ancestor ascended?” Cang Ming, who stood up without Cold Moon’s permission, was afraid that Cold Moon would blame him. He had been fidgeting and uneasy, but when he heard Cold Moon ask him, he immediately answered respectfully.
“Ascended? Did my brother die?” Cold Moon said in surprise. How could that be? His brother had so many descendants. How could he be killed by someone else? How could that be?
“The ancestor did not die. He has become a dead spirit immortal and ascended to the immortal realm. The immortal realm is another space that is much better than our space.” Cang Ming didn’t know what the immortal realm was like, so he could only say that it was much better than this space.
“How can I go see him?” Cold Moon was relieved to hear that his older brother was still alive. A zombie becoming an immortal was too incredible, but anything was possible in this world.
“The ancestor also became a dead spirit immortal. You can see Cold Wind Ancestor by ascending to the immortal realm. I heard that Cold Wind Ancestor is now dominating the immortal realm.” Cang Ming’s face showed infinite yearning. Back then, the blood clan was so powerful when Cold Wind had not yet ascended.
“How can I become a dead spirit immortal? Tell me, I’ll go find my brother after I become one.” Cold Moon said eagerly. Now, he just wanted to see his older brother as soon as possible and give him a surprise and tease him again.
“Ancestor, Cold Wind Ancestor practiced the blood path and it took him thousands of years to become a dead spirit immortal. Why don’t you lead our blood clan back to glory? Now, we are being chased and killed by those human cultivators. When Cold Wind Ancestor was still alive, they didn’t even dare to fart.” Cang Ming said bravely.
“What is the blood path?” Cold Moon asked.
“The blood path is a kind of practice method.”
“Do you know how to practice it? Teach me. Unfortunately, it will take thousands of years to see my brother again.”
“Ancestor, the jade slip that records the blood path is still in the hands of the elder. Only the second, third, and fourth generations with pure bloodlines can practice it. Other vampires cannot practice it.”
“Oh, I see. Then, you go get that jade slip for me.”
“I can’t. I’m just an ordinary blood clan and I can’t even see the elder. Please come back with me.”
“But I don’t want to have anything to do with you vampires. I can be a normal person now. I like being a normal person, so I won’t go. By the way, what do you need to do to get that book?” Cold Moon calculated in his heart that if he went to see some elder and was followed by a bunch of guys, he would lose his freedom.
“Unless those old guys know that you are awake, if the ancestor gives me something, I can see the elder.”
“Something? I have nothing on me except this clothes. Well, let me think of a way.” Cold Moon finished speaking, turned back into a normal person, and sat down on the ground to meditate.
Seeing that Cold Moon said he wanted to think, Cang Ming could only sit there quietly.
Another hour passed, and the sky gradually brightened. At this time, Cang Ming couldn’t sit still anymore. If he didn’t leave now, he would disappear in the sunlight.
“Ancestor, can we go into the city first and then consider it?” Cang Ming twisted his body anxiously, looking very urgent.
“What’s wrong with you?” Cold Moon asked strangely. Seeing Cang Ming’s appearance, it seemed that there was something important to do.
“Ancestor, the sun is about to come out. If I am exposed to the sunlight, I will eventually die.” Although he was afraid of Cold Moon’s anger, Cang Ming was more afraid of being exposed to sunlight.
“You vampires of this generation are so bad?” Cold Moon sighed. “I have an idea. I’ll give you the first embrace, so you won’t be afraid of sunlight anymore. And, after I give you the first embrace, you will be the second-generation zombie, so you can go see some elder and get the blood path method for me.”
“Thank you, Ancestor, thank you, Ancestor.” Cang Ming immediately knelt down and thanked Cold Moon when he heard that Cold Moon would give him the first embrace. If he could get Cold Moon’s first embrace, he would become a second-generation blood clan. The second-generation blood clan was so glorious and powerful. The current blood clan elder was only a seventh-generation. For thousands of years, those who could practice the blood path had already ascended to the immortal realm, and the previous generations who could not practice the blood path were almost all killed by those cultivators.
“Get up. What city is this? Do you have a house in this city?”
“Yes, Master. This city is called Lan City, and I have a top-floor room here.” Since Cold Moon was going to give Cang Ming the first embrace, Cold Moon became his master, and Cang Ming naturally called Cold Moon his master.
“Take me to your place. Oh, and pick up this stone for me. This stone weighs several thousand pounds. Hehe, I can’t lift it now that I’m human.” Cold Moon pointed to the dark blood ball that was stuck in the road.
Cang Ming took out a small iron box about the size of a palm from his windbreaker pocket, opened the box, took out a jade piece the size of a fingernail, and stuck it on the dark blood ball. With a “pop,” the jade piece immediately sucked the dark blood ball in.
“What is this?” Cold Moon was surprised and couldn’t close his mouth for a long time.
“Master, this is a storage capsule developed by scientists on Earth who imitated the savings products in the cultivation world. It can hold any item with a volume less than ten cubic meters, and it does not increase the weight of the capsule at all.” Cang Ming took out the capsule from the pit and handed it to Cold Moon respectfully. He knew that Cold Moon had slept for tens of thousands of years, while the capsule was a technological product of Earth in recent thousands of years, so he explained it to Cold Moon in detail.
“How do I take it out?” Cold Moon sighed in his heart. He had slept for a while, and time had passed tens of thousands of years. When he woke up, everything had changed, and scientific development was so convenient.
