There was a vast expanse of white in all directions, including front, back, left, right, top, bottom, and silence. You couldn't see anything else or hear any other sounds. Even your own footsteps, breathing, and heartbeat were inaudible.
where am I?
How did I get here?
What am I going to do?
Zhou Ming doesn't know anything.
He just walked aimlessly, wandering in this white foggy land, not knowing where he was going or when he was going.
Until a voice suddenly sounded.
"Wake up, kid, get up quickly, it's time to work!"
Zhou Ming suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the hay.
He glanced around in a daze, and then his thoughts gradually returned to normal consciousness. Zhou Ming couldn't help but sigh.
Is it that dream again?
I have been having that strange dream since I traveled back in time. It has been more than ten years now. It is a miracle that I haven't gone crazy yet.
Probably because reality is more cruel.
No, it is precisely because reality is more cruel that it is a miracle that I am not driven crazy by reality.
More than ten years ago, Zhou Ming traveled from Blue Star to this world and started a new life as a newborn baby.
However, the reality is extremely cruel. In this world with an extraordinary power system, in addition to humans, there are intelligent life forms including orcs, stone people, Jiao people, Mo people and other alien races.
Sadly, the human race belongs to the lowest level among them. Since the birth of the human race, they have been ruled by aliens, enslaved and even used as food. This is still the case until now.
Zhou Ming's parents in this world were both slaves of an orc tribe, and when he was just born, he was immediately branded a slave.
When he was three years old, his father in this world was slapped to death on the spot for colliding with an orc. When he was eight years old, his mother became ill due to overwork and passed away, leaving him alone as a little slave.
Together with other human slaves, they work endlessly in this orc tribe.
Now, seven years have passed since he achieved the achievement of both parents being dead as a time traveler. Zhou Ming has gradually been tortured and numbed by this cruel world and has already adapted to his living environment.
Looking around, he saw a simple shack made of mud and hay, with air leakage from all sides. It could block the rain, but only a little. Some hay was spread on the ground, which was his bed.
"Boy, are you still awake? Get up quickly, be careful of whipping if you're late!"
As soon as Zhou Ming woke up from his deep sleep, the person next to him grabbed his clothes and pulled him up, dragging the staggering Zhou Ming out.
Outside the shack, the moon and stars were sparse.
As a slave, of course, it is impossible to be treated like sleeping until the sun rises. Working before dawn and resting only when the moon is high is the daily routine.
Of course, slaves have no human rights. Not only do they have to do a lot of work every day and eat very little and poorly, but they also have to worry about being beaten to death by the orc masters who dislike them, or captured by some hungry orc masters.
To be eaten alive, or to be captured by a more noble orc master and used as material for refining poison.
Refining Gu, yes, Gu is the extraordinary way of this world.
Creatures in this world can possess all kinds of strange and extraordinary powers by controlling different kinds of poisonous insects. Those who can use poisonous insects are called Gu Masters. The use of Gu Insects to cultivate and refine them takes up almost the entire life of a Gu Master.
There is a huge gap between mortals without Gu worms and Gu masters with Gu worms. Therefore, the orcs enslave the human race and the human race's lowest status among all races is due to the simplest reason: lack of strength.
Slaves want to resist, but if they don't have enough strength, they are looking for death. The torture methods used by Gu Masters are even more terrifying than slaves working to death or being eaten directly.
Therefore, this desperate world has made Zhou Ming, who has traveled through the world for more than ten years, almost forget his previous life, remain silent in patience, and become numb in silence.
It was another day of heavy work. Zhou Ming dragged his tired body back to the shack, placed himself on the hay, and soon fell asleep.
In his sleep, he entered the vast white mist again.
What exactly is this place?
In the dream, Zhou Ming's mind was not bright. He could not think of an answer to this question, and his body seemed to be out of control, just wandering around the land mechanically and blankly.
One day, another day, another day.
But today, this world that has remained unchanged for more than ten years has suddenly undergone some changes.
In the vast white mist, another footsteps suddenly sounded, and a looming figure appeared in Zhou Ming's sight.
Zhou Ming stopped abruptly, as if he suddenly woke up. Although he was still in a dream, his head suddenly became brighter, and his body seemed to be under his control.
】
Seeing the figure in the mist ahead that seemed to disappear at any moment, Zhou Ming ran after him without any hesitation.
He was getting closer and closer to the figure, and he could see more and more clearly. Although the figure was still unclear, he could clearly see the movements of the figure and the Gu worm he was holding in his hand.
Seeing him activating the Gu insect, a sharp long blade extended from his hand. Seeing him waving the long blade, his movements were brisk and smooth, natural, and had an indescribable sense of beauty.
Then, he was woken up again.
But when he woke up this time, he was different from before. Every movement of the figure in the dream was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it. He would play it back and repeat it over and over again.
This made him feel a little dazed, and he would get distracted from time to time while working all day long, and unconsciously he would want to make movements like waving the long blade in his dream.
Fortunately, he finally made no mistakes on this day and spent the day safely. At night, he saw that figure in his dream again, and saw his strong posture waving the long blade again.
He wanted to get closer to that figure, wanted to get closer, wanted to see that figure's face clearly, but no matter how hard he ran, the distance between him and that figure only shrunk to an insignificant amount.
The next day, his energy suddenly became even stronger, and his working movements would deform from time to time, trying to fully display the movements of dancing the long blade in his mind.
The other people who worked thought that because of his young age, the work he was doing was too heavy and tiring, so they took the initiative to help him share the burden, and this allowed him to spend another day safely.
In this way, day after day, he watched the figure in his dream dancing the long blade at night, his consciousness clear and his spirit shining. However, during the day, he became more and more confused, and his mind was filled with the movements in the dream.
In the eyes of others, his condition is getting worse day by day. They all think he is sick and are worried about him. Because once a slave becomes sick, in order to prevent him from infecting other slaves, he will be captured and cleaned up, or
Kill and throw them into the woods, or be eaten directly.
The human slaves want to cover for this fifteen-year-old child, but they are just slaves. The heavy work every day will exhaust their energy, so how can they completely cover Zhou Ming?
Finally, one day, Zhou Ming's abnormal state was discovered by the orcs who oversaw the work.
