Li Wei's heart pounded in his chest as he gazed at the familiar faces of his family, friend, and lover, gathered around a sinister-looking organization. Their eyes gleamed with avarice, their faces contorted with greed. A sense of betrayal washed over Li Wei, threatening to drown him in despair. How had it come to this?
Only hours ago, he had discovered the existence of the evil organization while travelling through modern-day Earth. Unbeknownst to him, they had been watching his every move, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. And strike they did, manipulating his loved ones to side with them, seduced by promises of wealth, fame, and power.
His father, once a pillar of support and love, stood at the forefront. His fists clenched with an uncharacteristic venom as he barked orders at those around him. Beside his father stood his childhood friend, Xuan, a brotherly figure who had always been by his side. And there, amidst the crowd, was his lover, Jin, her eyes filled with a mixture of regret and longing.
The truth crashed down upon Li Wei like a tidal wave. They had all chosen material wealth and power over loyalty and love. The pain of their betrayal cut deep, leaving a wound that he feared would never heal.
The evil organization, sensing Li Wei's vulnerability, struck a deal. In exchange for his family's wealth and influence, they would take him away, force him to disappear into the shadows. Betrayed and broken, he had no choice but to go along with their demands. They promised him power beyond imagination, a tantalizing prospect for a broken man seeking revenge.
However, the path he treaded was not one of glory and triumph. It was a road paved with darkness and regret. The evil organization molded him into a weapon, stripping away the last vestiges of his humanity in their relentless pursuit of power.
But fate had its own twisted sense of justice. As Li Wei lay dying, consumed by regret and vowing to change his life if given a second chance, something extraordinary occurred. He awoke to find himself in a foreign world, his consciousness transmigrated into the body of a young boy named Li Wei.
"Where am I?" He asked, waking up groggily to find himself ridden with wounds and weakened to the point that he couldn't even lift a finger. As he lay there trying to take in his surroundings, an unimaginable pain began to tear through his head. He stayed in place crying out, unable to move or else incur more pain from his broken limbs. He lay on the side of the road, watching passers by walk past without offering any help, not even a single word of encouragement or respite. Not that he cared anyway. He had long been used to the cruel ways of humans. The state he was in was a testament to the fickleness of human nature. The pain in his head was caused by the flood of memories from the former Li Wei, who died by being beaten to death by his father. Before he was treated like every child would want to be treated by his parents, with love and care. However, when he turned twelve years of age, he awakened inferior grade spiritual roots, the lowest of the low in terms of quality of spiritual roots. He was doomed to forever stay in the Qi Condensation realm. From then on, his father lost all the love he had for him. His mother still loved him, but she was only so powerful, and could only cry and watch his father, Li Han, beat him day after day to vent his anger.
Soon, he turned 16, and the ethereally handsome Li Wei was now being beaten in on daily basis by his father or his butler. His sister , the only one that remained kind to him apart from his mother, soon began to distance herself from him when she awakened her high grade spiritual roots. She began to be disgusted by her elder brother and sought every means possible to humiliate him and put him in an even worse state. His 12 year old sister, whom he played with and gave sweets and chocolates to as much as he could, began to hire gangsters to beat him in the street, and spread horrible rumors about him. In fact, he would never have thought his sister could ever do that to him if he didn't eavesdrop on her conversations with one of her friends.
He felt alone and helpless and wanted to kill himself, but he failed. His father found out, and instead beat him to death. All these memories came flooding into Li Wei, and he couldn't help feel intense anger!
"All your life, you have been looked down upon, Li Wei. As repayment for taking your body, I promise to take revenge on this worthless family, and become the strongest cultivator!"
