In the world of Darkness Forever, the light that was once there dissipates like a phantom, leaving behind endless darkness and chaos. The origins of this land can be traced back to ancient times, when an unnamable catastrophe struck and the entire world was shrouded in darkness. Ancient legends tell of a former heavenly god's fight that led to the rupture of the power of light, and the fragments of light were transformed into countless dark creatures that roamed this land, eroding all living beings.

　　In this era filled with despair, cultivation became people's only hope. However, cultivation in the darkness was not an easy task. The aura of heaven and earth was thin, and cultivation resources were scarce, so only a few people were able to stand out in this chaos. Cultivation realms are divided into nine major realms: the Dark Breath Realm, the Yin Underworld Realm, the Ghost Realm, the Spirit Devouring Realm, the Nightmare Soul Realm, the Dark Prison Realm, and higher realms such as Loss and Destruction, and legend has it that only those existences birthed in the light are able to break through all this and arrive at the fabled Land of Light.

　　In this city called Chaotic Black City, laws were scattered like debris. Leaving Sorrow, it was in such an environment that he grew up. Since this teenager has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, resulting in not only calmness and loneliness but also being very independent and alert, harboring mistrust of the outside world. He may adhere to certain principles in a chaotic environment because of his mother's teachings, but he is also aware of the difficulties of survival. Despite the mystery of his mother's identity and origins, her teachings and love are the only light in the darkness for Sorrow. Today, Riqiu once again stepped out of her home, trying to find a ray of hope in this dark world.

　　As Li Chou stepped on the streets of the chaotic black city, stepping on the ground filled with sewage and debris, his heart was filled with helplessness and anger towards life. Bandits prowled around the street corners with rampant laughter, as if proclaiming their rule. Every time they passed by him, Li Chuan could feel the contempt and indifference in their gazes. Although he was angry in his heart, he understood that he had to be careful not to let them set their sights on him.

　　"As long as I can find a little food and return to my mother."He murmured in his mind and took a deep breath, trying to erase the fear inside.

　　Finally, Leaving Sorrow found an abandoned loaf of bread in a dilapidated stall, and his heart burst with joy. However, just as he was about to leave, harsh laughter came from behind him. He turned back and saw a group of bandits walking towards him, full of smugness and playfulness.

　　"Hey kid, found something good?"The leading bandit sneered, the shadows on his face twisting in the candlelight.

　　Li Chuan's heart instantly sank, and the bread clenched in his hands seemed to become abnormally heavy. He knew that if he didn't escape, he would have nowhere to go.

　　"Let go of me! I just want to go home!"Li Chuan resisted fearlessly, his angry gaze flickering in the darkness, yet deep down he realized that there was almost no chance of winning this fight.

　　Just then, his mother's teachings flashed through his mind - "In the darkness, your heart is the only light."He knew that he had to fight for his mother's safety.

　　Li Chuan's heart was beating like thunder, the bandits had already surrounded him, their cold gazes piercing into his heart like blades, and an unyielding courage surged in his heart as he recited his mother's teachings.

　　"Give up, kid, there's no way you can escape!"The leading bandit smiled coldly, the knife in his hand flashed with a cold shut.

　　Li Chou tightly gripped the bread in his hand, although he knew that he was in a desperate situation, but

　　he would not give up on this. Just at the moment the bandits approached, he quickly sidestepped and used the rebound of the narrow alleyway wall to jump backward, instantly pulling away.

　　"Don't let him get away!"The bandits yelled, quickly catching up.

　　Li Chuan made a rapid calculation in his mind, he had to find an opportunity where he could counterattack. He turned around and kicked aside a barrel, creating a chaotic sound, the bandits paused for a moment, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes.

　　"This is my chance to counterattack!"Li Chuan thought in his heart, and without any hesitation, he pounced towards the nearest bandit. His fists smashed into the bandit's face like rain, intense anger and determination exploding at this moment.

　　"Damn it!"The bandit blurred in agony, only the laughing faces of the bandits and the sound of the departed heartbeat echoed in his ears. He felt a surge of power surging through his body, as if it was the call of his longing for freedom.

　　Just as he was about to launch his final strike, a strong sense of pressure came from behind him. Li Chuan quickly turned around, only to see that another bandit had already approached from the side, the blade in his hand flashing coldly in the faint light.

　　His heart tightened, yet right at the critical moment, Li Chou's mother's figure suddenly flashed in his mind. At that moment, he realized that he must not be knocked down. He sunk his center of gravity, summoned the strength of his entire body, swung his fist, and struck the bandit in front of him straight in the face.

　　"Ah!"The bandit screamed in agony as his blade came out of his hand and flew into the wall next to him.

　　"This is my chance!"Li Chou's heart shook as he quickly turned around and fled into the depths of the alley, the sound of his footsteps gradually disappearing into the darkness, leaving behind a chaotic scene.

　　Li Chou stopped in the depths of the narrow alley, his back leaning against the cold stone wall, his heart fluctuating violently. The battle just now haunted his mind like a nightmare, and the cold laughter of the bandits echoed endlessly. Although he managed to escape, the feeling of powerlessness against himself in the darkness became more and more apparent.

　　"How the hell am I going to get stronger?"Li Chuan clenched his fists, his nails piercing into his palms. He thought of his mother's figure, a face that was always filled with warmth and softness. In that instant, a trace of determination ignited within him, "I must become stronger and take her out of this city!"

　　Li Chou decided not to hide himself any longer, tomorrow morning, he would go to explore the rumored "Dark Sect", it was said that there were high level people and resources there that could help him cultivate. Thinking of this, Li Chou's heart was filled with anticipation and apprehension.

　　The darkness of the sky still covered the entire city, the surrounding noise gradually fell silent, only the faint candlelight flickered at the street corner, as if guiding the direction of Li Chou's future.

　　"I can't hesitate any longer."He took a deep breath and looked up into the endless darkness, his determination secretly set in his heart, "Tomorrow, I'm going to start my journey of cultivation, and no matter how hard it is, I won't give up!"

　　Right at this moment, a whisper came from Li Chuan's ears, as if a voice was summoning him. He froze for a moment and followed the direction of the voice, gradually discovering a small door concealed behind the wall, with a faint light coming from the cracks that seemed to harbor some sort of secret.

　　"What kind of place is it?"With curiosity in his heart, Li Chou gently pushed open the small door, and the light instantly illuminated his face, reflecting the determination and courage that flashed in his eyes.
