Earth, northeastern Huaxia, M City.
It can be said that this place is now legendary—after all, it was from here that Wen Yu emerged, the strongest person in the world!
However, in this chaotic era, there are no tourist attractions to speak of. For most people, the so-called Sequence One is just a name they’ve heard; where he lives and how he rose to fame are unimportant. The lives of ordinary folks revolve around the necessities of life, at most supplemented by fighting demonic creatures to enhance their strength, nothing more.
Additionally, M City is close to Beijing, and years ago, the entire city was evacuated, transforming it into a paradise for mutated beasts, while Wen Yu's old residence—a dilapidated little rental—became a resting point for some mutated beast.
Yet today, some unexpected guests have arrived here.
...
A group of three walked along the ravaged streets, overgrown with greenery, facing roars from unknown creatures, their expressions unchanged—there was even a hint of leisure about them.
The wilderness is not a friendly place; even with intelligent mutated beasts, they remain dangerous. As living beings, they cannot escape the needs for food and drink. The current landlords of this area wouldn't mind having a couple of appetizers to change their taste.
Unfortunately, these three individuals possess a rather intimidating presence...
One looks normal, standing two meters tall but thin and frail, while another towers over three meters with a massive Bull Head atop his neck, shouldering a blood-soaked battle axe—the very scent of blood emanating from him deters the ever-present foragers in the wilderness.
Walking in the middle is a person with an explosive hairstyle, appearing almost middle-aged, yet standing only one point two meters tall, creating a stark contrast. The attitudes of the other two towards this one meter tall figure indicate that among the three, this diminutive one is the true leader.
"We've arrived..."
The one meter tall figure spoke first, stopping at the entrance of Wen Yu's old neighborhood. He stared intently at the vacant lot ahead, his eyes shimmering with golden light.
"Amida, over here."
After speaking, the one meter tall figure lightly stomped his foot. The tall, slender man named Amida nodded and stepped forward, slowly extending his hands.
Speckles of light blossomed between Amida's hands, merging into the air, and thus, time began to flow!
Time around the three began to rewind, fleeting images flashing by—mutated beasts clashing with the demonic clan, practitioners battling mutated beasts, scenes from the past unfolding clearly before their eyes through some means of Amida.
Until the figure of Wen Yu appeared ahead...
...
"I can't go back now. Damn it, chased out by a dead dog and can’t even return home; as a reborn person, I’m truly losing face for the army of reborn ones."
At that time, Wen Yu was young and full of wrath, resembling a terrifying killer, though he looked miserable—his clothes barely covering him, arms swollen, with traces of blood still hanging from his mouth.
This was right after the first hand-to-hand combat between the one-eyed and Wen Yu ended...
The three seemed to be spectators transcending time and space, watching Wen Yu’s soliloquy until he uttered the words "reborn person," at which point the light in the one meter tall figure's eyes began to fade.
"Indeed a reborn person... but the question arises, who was it that brought you back to life? Such a cute little guy, don’t you know that secrets should be buried deep within? Sometimes, talking to yourself can be fatal!"
The one meter tall figure spoke with a teasing tone, deep and heavy, extending his hands as if spanning nearly eighteen years, slowly gripping Wen Yu's throat.
"So, has the mission been completed?"
The Bull Head behind them emitted a buzzing sound, recalling the years of searching and finally grasping the little secret of Sequence One, filled with emotions.
"Since it’s confirmed that Wen Yu is an agent of the demon lord, let’s directly report to the golden armor and launch a killing order."
