You know... who is protecting the world?

In our East, heroes are also called xia. The greatest xia is to serve the country and the people, but they are even greater. They not only worry about the country and the people, but also protect us, our planet, and even maybe our universe.

You know... whats the difference between them and us?

In truth, theres no real difference. While there are occasional exceptions, most of them possess physical features that match their personalities - intelligent men and beautiful women, capable in both civil and military affairs - far from the extreme portrayals in rumors. The only distinction lies in their possession of an extraordinary mystical power and unwavering conviction. When they engage in combat, the shimmering special mark that appears on their foreheads serves as the ultimate testament to this.

You know... why do they say theyre the ones who protect the world, not us?

Since ancient times, the greater ones power, the heavier their responsibility. That mysterious force has bestowed upon them wondrous talents and abilities beyond our reach. Yet even so, many of us still strive to protect this world in our own ways. Though perhaps our strength pales in comparison to theirs, remember: With determination, we too can become heroes like them. As the saying goes, "A heros origin matters not."

Erin · Suoluo Continent

Extra! Extra! An unidentified object in space will reach the edge of the atmosphere this afternoon. Scientists claim that the probability of a planet impact is extremely low, and they also boast that China has made full preparations, so please do not panic!

"Nan Dou, we men should stand tall and strong. Why are you shaking? Besides, if the sky falls, Im still here-- calm down... this meteorite is just a walk..."

Hey, I tell you, Nani, youre shaking like that and still bragging... Hurry up and run with the kids, didnt you hear the rumors?-- Those newspapers, oh... the radio, oh, theyre all lies... Cheke... you cant... its real... oh!

"Hey! Run... Hey, really... Hey... Where to hide? -- Oh yeah! Alright, alright, youd better run now. Still talking rap? Ah... Are you looking for that thing? Heres the ark! -- Come on, with our genes, you cant get away! Its a blessing or a curse-when it comes, you cant hide. Just wait, miracles will come soon!"

"Dad, who is the miracle?"

"Ha... Oh, my head! Hey, I mean... you kid, do you know whos watching over the world?"

"Me?"

"Naive child -- that book should be passed on to you!"

"Old Madman!"

"Ah! It was just a meteor..."

According to the latest report, a meteorite named 88 has been found by the UN astronomical expert group. It is moving at high speed in outer space 100,000 kilometers away from our planet and is expected to reach the atmosphere at 5 PM today... But this is not a problem. Again, it was not now but now... Please stay calm!

Secretary Song, what time now? Ah, forget it, scram-- What if something happens! Things are different now. Were so important-no way we can risk ourselves. Besides, who do those people have to do with me-- Otherwise wed be living off our savings. Money needs to be spent where it counts... Hmph, theyre becoming unreliable again. They keep talking about a once-in-a-million-years event, but its only been 35 years... And here we go... What can we do-- Speechless! Heartbreak is inevitable... But thank goodness we listened to that old man. Otherwise... Haha!

"Dad, arent we going to run away? Im afraid!"

"Hmm? Whats the panic? Calm down -- Oh, youve read our family heirloom manual. Whydon't you believe me?"

"Because the authoritative experts said that the 88 meteorite would hit our planet in a moment and asked us to hide in the ark!"

"Hmm, yes, but you think its free?"

"Okay, is the ticket similar to a tourist attraction?"

"What? Another ticket... Well, its better than ours back then, but you think we can fit in -- Oh, yes, I only have ten yuan in my pocket, given by your mother, our father and me for dinner... Ah, we ordinary people, lets leave it to fate!"

"No, my life is in my hands, not in the hands of heaven. -- No, dad, are you buying adventure equipment again... Hmph, Ill tell mom!"

" sh!"

"No wonder mom went back to her parents house today, she must be angry with you... You should find a job, havent you finished this book yet?"

"Ha! You didnt let your mother and son starve or freeze, so why are you like this? Besides, I used to be a best-selling author!"

"The current generation of writers who rely on their parents:..."

"You, my boy, how can you be like this... and your mother is just like that, with a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right!"

"Mom, why go back... What about my dinner?"

"Your grandma and grandpa are in a hurry to buy tickets for shelter. Your mom needs to go home to comfort them. -- As for dinner, its up to me... uh, what kind of meme is this? -- Oh... order takeout, really? -- A bowl of rich-scented tomato and egg stir-fry, golden braised pork, and garlic-mixed baby bok choy..."

"Okay... Idon't need to eat dads food! The meat sauce with rice is so delicious... I want two bowls of rice!"

"Oh, you little girl... Hey, Lan, look, a meteor shower!"

"Haha, really -- um? Dad, whats that? A skydiver?"

"Hmm? You saw that too?"

"Um... you mean... her?"

"Well, technically speaking, its them -- I cant see... Oh, my glasses?"

"You ask me... Well, its right above your head -- Dad, look, somethings coming at us!"

"Hmm? I see it. Its a meteorite fragment. Get out!"

"Yay! Dad... Why are you more timid than me--don't run away, 88 is shattered! Hmm? How can that person be in the air without wings-- Ah? She... isnt she mine? My desk mate, Donger?"

"Well... here they are.don't worry!"

"Phew, thats close! Hey... Xiao Lan, uncle -- Hello, this is my formal introduction. Baili Luodong, an intern guardian from the Suoluo Continent... Im going to become a master in the future!"

-- Wow, the mark on her forehead is flashing... um, cool!

Long, long ago, on the ancient continent of Suro, two mysterious races were born.

One is a guardian with supernatural talents and the responsibility of defending human beings. Through constant training, they gradually understand the essence of martial arts, and even can use their talents to fight with various abilities.

The other is called the Wraith, a special creature and beast on this blue planet, which is not only born to use the power of nature, but can even summon the wind and rain... But this makes humans feel uneasy and fearful.

For thousands of years, the two races have been at odds with each other, and in the end, humanity was led by three masters to defeat their rivals and become the rulers of the continent.

But the good times did not last long, and soon an unknown force of doom was quietly sweeping across the continent.

Ironically, humanity-the ruling species-found itself powerless against this planetary crisis, suffering repeated defeats. In the end, they were compelled to ally with their former adversaries to devise a grand strategy. At the most critical moment of the decisive battle, the legendary envoy from ancient lore descended once more, guiding the coalition to reverse the tide. To express their gratitude, both sides honored this enigmatic figure with a sacred title:Shenzhi Guardian.

However, all things in the world must be divided after a long time-- The internal strife of mankind is getting fiercer and fiercer, and the conflict between the two tribes has never eased. So, as time goes by, the clouds rise again, and the war between the two tribes is about to start.

As a result, nations had to unite again and fight together. In the end, under the leadership of the first Guardian of the Gods, they defeated their old enemy once again.

Since then, the Central Plains have been unified, and the whole world has returned to the heart of the world. Human society has entered a stage of rapid development. As a result, the guardians have gradually been forgotten by people and eventually become an ancient legend.

At the same time, the monsters finally ushered in their first real leader, the Lich King. Under his leadership, the lich tribes began to unite, learning and developing, waiting for the right time.

Thousands of years later, as human society develops at a rapid pace, the world of the Guardians is also beginning to change dramatically. The liches sense the helplessness and sorrow that comes from nature, their last tolerance has been worn away, and a new war is about to break out.

However, coincidentally, just before the next great war, Zhuge Su, the master known as the Guardian of Genius, guided by a mysterious prophecy, comprehended the heavenly secrets. In the end, adhering to this path, he repelled the enemy army, captured his close friend, turned the tide of fortune, timely prevented the outbreak of crisis, and also found new hope.

Decades had passed since the days of New Hope, when that child who had been entrusted with great expectations not only harbored a global vision but also emulated ancient sages in upholding justice. Yet after undergoing multiple transformations, he suddenly proclaimed himself a reformer, gradually deviating from principles and ultimately being imprisoned byShenzhi artifacts. Yet he never repented, even declaring his intention to make a comeback.

So people had to turn to a baby, the son of fate mentioned in the mysterious prophecy, the only enemy of the reformer, our hero Jun.

So, can this child defeat the reformers... or will he be like that one, a rebel against the system? When he grows up, will he also have the world in his heart, follow the wisdom of the ancients, always uphold the ultimate way, do good, and remain true to his original intention to save the world?

So, where is this child now, what is special about him? What kind of growth and adventure will he experience in the future, what kind of friends will he make, what kind of talents and abilities will he awaken, what kind of artifacts will he have, what kind of feelings will he meet...

-- You want to know? Okay, then please keep reading.

The next chapter, the third chapter of gold, can be skipped because the content is more abstract. It mainly serves as a supplement to the preface and an introduction to the main text, so it does not affect the overall reading experience. However, the first chapter of the main text should be more interesting.

-- Oh... you ask me, is that mysterious prophecy true or not?

-- Well... keep it secret. For details, please read below!

Hey... Just a quick note: This is the first volume of the Shen Zhi series, focusing on the protagonists growth, adventures, and self-transcendence.

Plus, weve sprinkled in some personal humor to spice things up.

So, welcome to the Sero continent, a new fantasy world for the guardians!

San Chu · Qingqiu dream

"Hey, stop! This is no place to go! Oh, I told you so many times, why cant this person remember -- Alzheimers disease..."

"I said, how could he be like that -- Oh, where did he run?"

"Idon't know, how did it disappear? Lets look again!"

"... How could you not catch an old madman? Hes been here several times. Youve lost all my face. -- If you cant find him this time, your superiors will know. You... you... get ready to roll up your bedding! Look at how fat you are!"

"Its -- the boss. Are you coming along?"

"Tell me what you think--"

"Friends for life..."

In a world-class secret nature reserve, the fertile mainland is covered by vast primeval forests, with towering mountains standing at the heart of the dense woods. Under the strict protection of UN security personnel, not even a fly dared to enter -- but a sudden burst of noise shattered the established order.

Security personnel were now searching the woods, their shouts and accusations echoing through the area. In a hidden corner... there was a bird... wearing glasses and speaking... a golden eagle? The avian detective wore an expedition cap, camouflage gear, and a backpack, crouching behind a large tree to observe the surroundings-- His lips curved upward, his eyes gleaming with pride and excitement.

"Hehe, if you want to catch me, this time Im prepared -- this high-tech treasure is really nice, but how to change back -- wow, my foot hurts!"

-- Click!

"Ah, Im back -- Oh, this little stone looks really old. Now Ive tripped over it. Next time Ill have to take a cane -- Oh, this?"

-- bang!

"Earthquake!don't look for it, hurry up, superiors have ordered everyone to help the city heroes evacuate the people safely!"

"Not looking for it? Then you should pack your bags."

"I, I say you --"

"Yay! Found it! Here it is!"

"I said, why are you running? Youre not allowed in here. How many times have I told you!"

"Ah, I know. Come again. Lets go."

And next time, -- stay here, you!

"Ah... where?"

"Here, you can stay here today!"

"How dare you not get fired?"

"Whats wrong with you, old man? Are you not aware that the earthquake has come-- again!"

"Ah, just right!"

"Good, good, you!"

"Hey -- Well, let me see this little stone. Ive never seen it before. -- Well, I bought a lottery ticket today. -- Let me see this. Oh!"

-- make a din!

"What is written in this stone --? This is oracle bone -- Well, its not difficult for me. Look!"

-- Shh!

"Qing, Qiu -- Yes, this is -- and then, what is -- written? Potassium, calcium, sodium..."

-- whiz!

"Isnt this the periodic table? Whats the deal? -- Well, its a bit blurry! But this stone is definitely a treasure! -- I need to go back and study it properly. Oh, Im done! -- What? Where are we? Why is my memory acting up? -- Oh, this island? Whats everyone talking about? -- Well... I cant understand them. Luckily I brought a translation pen... -- Meteor... Hey, worrying over nothing? -- Whats that thing theyre talking about? -- Thats a protective shield in the sky! Its... too big, isnt it? Its cracked! -- Come on, lets run! Theres a meteor shower! -- Let me show you the falling stars... Ah!"

"--Hmm? Me... Could this be a dream? Ah, it hurts so much. No, its real. --Where am I? Wait... Wheres that big meteor? --Oh... its gone? --Help! How am I on a mountain... This is too high, too scary! Why does this mountain... seem missing something? --What? That girl floating in the air-whats she doing? Does she have some 21st-century tech gear? No way! Shes stunningly beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven! --Why does this sky look strange, as if theres a hole? --Is she repairing it? --Colorful stones... Nuwa mending the sky!"

"--Is this some kind of time-travel drama... Where am I supposed to be? Ancient army? -- Really? Over there, walking bears are talking and fish? Spear-wielding figures with wings? Are they fighting a -- gang war? You guys, this violence wont solve anything. Lets talk calmly, okay? -- Why arent you listening? Hey!"

"--What? Here we go again! Wheres this time heading, what --Oh, my words seem to work. This time humans and animals are collaborating, but theyre still fighting? Youre a hopeless case, kid --Fighting monsters? Okay, that makes sense --Indeed, this monster is massive-taller than a mountain. What the hell... one two three... nine heads! --Oh no,don't hit me! Im just a passerby..."

"-- Well, here? Oh, just when they were getting along, they started fighting again. -- No, those animals are just mythical creatures from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. --- Yeah, we seem to have won and defended our home!"

"-- This time? People are fighting with each other. -- Theyre just too full to hold their heads up. Well, theyre fighting for territory...."

"-- That stone, can we stop watching those brawls and focus on the pop idols? -- Well, the academy is okay. -- How does this island float in the air? Those people are students, practicing swordsmanship with such dazzling blades. -- How can they still shoot lasers with bare hands? Yes, right?"

"--Then... um? This guy is too cool! The sword in his hand must be the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword, right? Oh, his eyes are still glowing, and theres a huge wolf nearby. --Hes challenging so many heroes alone? Well, judging by this, hes probably a villain. --Ah! My eyes... why do those eyes look so blurry? --Oh, the battles over! All the good guys finally defeated the bad boss. --Ill be back... This sounds familiar... --No, whats that thing? Where did it go?"

"-- Wheres the running? Oh, there it is -- Here, in the 21st century? Its like my hometown -- Yes, there, wait here -- Gone? Hmm? Whose house is this? Such a big house, lets go inside and see..."

"-- Hmm? A lot of people, what are they doing? -- Oh, children, babies, so cute -- Whats flashing on that little guys forehead? What are those two couples talking about?..."

"Uncle, how are you?"

"Well, judging from the childs talent and pulse, we must intervene immediately, or..."

"-- Well, yes, even the dragons cry has disappeared..."

"-- Two. Have you figured it out?"

"Um!"

"Wait, senior, just a second, then..."

"Hey! You know, the sooner you decide, the better it is for the baby!"

"I... 555, I cant bear it!"

"For the sake of our children, we decided quickly -- Hmm? Senior, then, please begin!"

"Hey! What are you saying -- This is the baby I carried in my womb for ten months. How can you be so heartless!"

"Wow... it hurts! I cant bear it, but this is not good for our son -- Think about it, even a second delay will make Xiao Jun more dangerous..."

"I, I know, but I... 555."

"What... whats going on? It feels like a lot of bitterness and resentment -- Whats wrong with this kid? Well, this chain is very special -- Hmm? That woman looks fierce, but she has a good temperament. Wait, whats she going to do --"

"Wow!"

"Jun, be good,don't cry..."

"-- To be as strong as your father -- Read more books, watch less TV and sleep more..."

"Yes, mom is right... Well, donot worry, Xiao Jun can do it. We don't even have to see who his father is, right..."

"No, Im not..."

"-- Yee-ah-ah..."
