Darkness, endless darkness!
Yi Tianchen felt as if he were wandering alone in an infinite void. He had no idea how much time had passed when a grand door suddenly appeared before him and swung open…
On a moonlit night, the warm Mountain Breeze carried the fragrance of flowers and grass, rustling the leaves. In the dense jungle, a figure darted through like the wind. A chilling, deadly aura suddenly spread out, and brilliant skill halos illuminated a twisted face, blooming like a flower of death—exotic and cold.
“Crack, crack, crack…”
Amidst the flashes of blades, blood mist swirled like bloodthirsty phantoms, permeating the dense jungle. The icy sword light flickered like lightning, emitting chilling signals of death, painting a scene of seemingly endless slaughter.
Soon, silence fell again, a grave-like stillness.
Suddenly, a gust of Mountain Breeze swept by, and soft rustling echoed beneath the trees. Moonlight as cool as water illuminated a figure standing proudly at the edge of a cliff, eyes like cold stars in the sky. In hand was a long sword radiating brilliant rainbow hues, and on his forehead was an ID so red it seemed to drip with blood—
Lutian Shafa!
The scene froze before shifting in an instant. Busy streets filled with dazzling neon lights, screaming crowds, and the harsh sounds of friction. His body soared into the air, tracing a perfect arc of death. A pool of vivid crimson flowed beneath him; it was his own blood, spilling out from his body.
The last face fading from view was one that was both strange and familiar.

“Tianchen, wake up… don’t scare me… please wake up…”
At the moment darkness descended, Yi Tianchen had thought he would fall into eternal slumber. Suddenly, from deep within that dark consciousness came a voice that was achingly familiar and nostalgic. It had once haunted his dreams; Yi Tianchen summoned all his courage and opened his eyes abruptly…
What met his gaze was a tear-streaked face filled with worry. The air was thick with the strong scent of soda water against a backdrop of white—this place… was a hospital!
“ Liu Yuhan …”
"Yes, it's me, I'm Liu Yuhan. You're awake, you really are awake..."
Yi Tianchen's heart skipped a beat. Could this be real? He never imagined that the first time he would call out this name, the one that haunted his dreams, would be in such a situation. The once beautiful girl now appeared to be in tears.
She was crying!
Yi Tianchen raised his hand slightly, intending to wipe away her tears, but he felt a wave of soreness and numbness wash over him, as if his body were unresponsive. As he moved his hand, it was tightly grasped by Liu Yuhan. The warmth of her fingers made Yi Tianchen acutely aware that this was definitely not a dream.
"You just woke up; don't move around."
Liu Yuhan seemed to realize her own emotional outburst, wiping away her tears. A faint blush crept onto her tired face, making her look even more enchanting. Yi Tianchen smiled lightly and instinctively tried to control his body parts, receiving a conditional response almost immediately.
Fortunately, aside from the excruciating pain in his head, Yi Tianchen found that he was intact. Fragmented memories quickly pieced themselves together in his mind.
Time rewound to the moment he left the Sea of Love Café. When that stick came crashing down, Yi Tianchen had managed to protect Liu Yuhan well enough, but he wasn't so lucky himself. Ironically, the blow landed squarely on his head, causing his entire nervous system to collapse in an instant.
"Are you okay?" Yi Tianchen asked.
"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Liu Yuhan shook her head, but tears streamed down her cheeks again as she bit her lip and said, "Why were you so reckless? Didn't you care about your life? I thought... I thought..."
"I'm tough; I won't die easily..." Yi Tianchen joked lightly but then added seriously, "If someone has to be lying here, I hope it's not you!"
"You're so foolish!" Liu Yuhan wiped away her tears.
"I'm really hungry..."
Liu Yuhan froze for a moment, completely taken aback by Yi Tianchen's sudden statement. She burst into laughter and said, "You've been unconscious for three days and two nights without food or water; of course you're hungry! Just lie still; I'll go prepare something for you. Don't move around!"
Yi Tianchen nodded and watched Liu Yuhan leave before he slightly moved his hands and feet. Indeed, aside from the blow to his head, everything else felt fine; the previous soreness was simply due to lying down for too long.
Slowly stretching out, Yi Tianchen leaned against the bed, but his mind was swirling with four big words—Lutian Shafa!
Just recalling the feeling he had when he first heard those words from Liu Yuhan made Yi Tianchen feel utterly speechless. He gently closed his eyes, and the fragments of memories deep within his consciousness erupted like a suddenly active volcano, surging forth uncontrollably. Before he knew it, tears streamed down his face, salty as they flowed into his mouth.
Indeed, at this moment, Yi Tianchen had filled the twenty-one years of blankness in his life. However, he never expected that during the three years of his amnesia, he had become a professional gamer—a truly ironic existence.
In the past, Lutian Shafa was synonymous with death; it could decide who lived and who died. What an imposing power that was! Who would have thought that after losing his memory, he would end up in such a situation? Truly, fortunes change; thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west!

Ten minutes later, Liu Yuhan returned with a bowl of thin porridge—one large bowl. However, for Yi Tianchen, who hadn’t eaten for three days, it was hardly enough. Suddenly feeling an overwhelming appetite, he devoured half of it in just a few bites, leaving Liu Yuhan staring in astonishment.
The following time was warm and comforting; Liu Yuhan stayed by Yi Tianchen's bedside like a doting caregiver, ensuring he didn’t get out of bed. Eventually, after a surprising display from Yi Tianchen, Liu Yuhan finally believed that he could indeed bounce around without any major issues.
Thus, Liu Yuhan accompanied Yi Tianchen on a stroll around the hospital and conveyed the heartfelt sentiments of the doctor upon learning that he had woken up: "Miracle! This is simply a miracle!"
In fact, Yi Tianchen thought so too. To wake up after being struck hard on the head seemed like a plot only possible in fiction. This made him believe even more that this beautiful girl by his side was an angel sent by heaven.
The next day, after much effort to prove himself, Liu Yuhan finally agreed to discharge Yi Tianchen from the hospital and acted as his personal driver, taking him in her Benz to enjoy the scenic views along the Li River.
Yi Tianchen suddenly froze. As they drove along, the surroundings felt unfamiliar to him, and a question arose in his mind: “Where are we going?”
Liu Yuhan smiled gently at the bewildered Yi Tianchen and replied softly, “Of course, we’re heading to our new studio!”
“A new studio?” Yi Tianchen was taken aback for a moment but then smiled naturally. A sense of destiny surged within him as if he were speaking to himself: “The Zero Era should be starting soon.”
“Yes, tomorrow at noon!”
Liu Yuhan spoke, but her expression suddenly darkened. Pulling the car over to the side of the road, she turned to Yi Tianchen and forced a bitter smile, saying with a hint of sadness, "Tianchen, do you think I'm foolish for entrusting my entire life to a game?"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He understood very well that when one's life is tied to the interests of a corporation, Liu Yuhan had lost her chance to choose the moment she was born.
"But... I had no choice. I truly had no choice..."
Tears streamed down her face again as Liu Yuhan rested her forehead on the steering wheel, her delicate shoulders trembling slightly. Yi Tianchen took a deep breath and gently placed his hand on Liu Yuhan's shoulder, silently making a resolution.
Liu Yuhan lifted her head slightly; in her tear-filled eyes reflected Yi Tianchen's unwavering determination.
"I won't let you lose!"
