Li Minghong opened a post: Just now, I witnessed the passing of life with my own eyes. For the first time, I felt how fragile life is.
"My condolences, OP."
"Alas! One can only say that life is unpredictable! My condolences, OP, and may you find strength."
"Huh? What happened? What's going on?"
The OP replied: "Just now, the fish store owner killed a fish right in front of me."
"666, a gentleman keeps his distance from the kitchen, huh!"
"You're still so cheeky!"
"Is there anyone in the same city who can do it for me?"
Seeing this post, Li Minghong burst into laughter, not paying attention to the road ahead.
Screech!
The truck slammed on its brakes, but the huge inertia kept it moving forward.
Hearing a piercing sound, Li Minghong finally looked up, but it was too late.
Bang!
A person who was also scrolling through the same post as Li Minghong on his phone suddenly saw this scene and froze. The passing of life before his eyes greatly impacted his fragile heart!
He quickly picked up his phone! And immediately posted.
"Just now, I witnessed the passing of life…"
Just like that, Li Minghong became a joke, and also transmigrated.
Douluo Continent.
Li Minghong was lying on a hillside covered with Blue Silver Grass, enjoying the gentle breeze.
Such a pleasant time, yet it couldn't erase the sorrow in Li Minghong's heart.
"Why did I have to transmigrate!"
Chewing on a root of Blue Silver Grass, Li Minghong sighed.
"Although I love reading Douluo Continent, including its fanfiction, I didn't want to transmigrate!"
In his previous life, Li Minghong was just an ordinary guy, a 'diaosi' struggling for a living. His hobbies included browsing Sun Ba, and at night, he enjoyed playing a certain two-character game.
Of course, his biggest hobby was watching "Resurrect! My! Lover!"
"Pfft!"
He spat out the Blue Silver Grass from his mouth.
"I hope I can awaken a decent Spirit, otherwise, without background or strength, how can I survive in this turbid world."
He looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, striking a pose he thought was profound, gazing at the sky with melancholy.
My pain, you don't understand.
"Li Minghong! Dinner!"
The speaker was Li Minghong's grandfather, who had taken in Li Minghong, an orphan.
"Alright! I know!"
Li Minghong stood up and patted the dust off his backside.
"Go home, eat dinner, and go to bed early. Tomorrow, you have to awaken your Spirit."
Yunshui Village and several neighboring villages all came to the Nuoding City Spirit Hall branch.
After Li Minghong transmigrated, he became an orphan and was taken in by the Yunshui Village chief.
Now six years old, it was time for his Spirit awakening.
However, when the heavens made him transmigrate, they seemed to have forgotten to give him a golden finger.
He wished and wished, but his mind remained empty.
"What are you spacing out for! You brat! Get in there and awaken!"
Hearing his grandfather's scolding, Li Minghong snapped out of it, realizing everyone was staring at him. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous and quickly ran forward.
He hadn't expected the awakening process to be so fast; the dozens of children in front of him had all finished their awakenings.
"Stand inside the magic array."
The white-robed deacon, Matthew Nuo, looked Li Minghong up and down and said indifferently.
Li Minghong did as he was told.
He walked up the steps and stood in the center of the Spirit awakening array.
Hum, hum, hum.
As Matthew Nuo injected his spirit power, the six-pointed star-shaped Spirit awakening array emitted a buzzing sound. The ground beneath his feet vibrated slightly, and the array began to emit a dazzling light.
"Whew—"
Li Minghong let out a long breath, nervously awaiting the result.
"I don't ask for much! Just let me awaken spirit power!"
"Supreme Venerable Lord of the Dao, by imperial decree! God bless me! Amitabha!"
He closed his eyes and quietly began to feel the changes within himself.
Buzz!
In just a moment, Li Minghong felt a certain power awaken within his body, then slowly gather towards his palm.
Li Minghong opened his eyes and saw specks of blue light appearing in his right palm. Finally, they converged into a physical form.
"Plant Spirit, Blue Silver Grass."
"Come, let's test your spirit power."
Matthew Nuo showed no emotion; after all, it was normal for commoners to awaken this kind of Spirit.
"This…"
Li Minghong was stunned for a moment, his heart already half-cold.
He could only hope his Blue Silver Grass had some spirit power.
He then walked into the array for testing innate spirit power.
Under Li Minghong's expectant gaze, the array lit up!
"Congratulations, your innate spirit power is Level One."
Matthew Nuo's voice carried a hint of surprise; he hadn't expected such a useless Spirit to actually have innate spirit power.
"That's great!"
He had originally thought he would live a mediocre life, rising with the sun and resting with its setting, marrying a wife and having a few children, but he hadn't expected to actually awaken spirit power!
This was a blessing in disguise.
"Ding! Spirit awakened, Dungeon Space officially activated."
"What?!"
"What, what? What's wrong?"
Matthew Nuo looked at Li Minghong, who was startled, with some confusion.
"No, no, no, nothing."
Li Minghong quickly waved his hand, desperately suppressing the wild joy in his heart.
Matthew Nuo saw Li Minghong's mouth curling up so much it almost reached the sky. He thought he was happy about awakening spirit power and didn't pay much attention.
"Grandmaster Matthew Nuo! How many children with spirit power awakened this year?"
"One, Li Minghong from Yunshui Village, Spirit Blue Silver Grass, innate spirit power, Level One."
"That's great!"
Li Minghong's grandfather's eyes lit up. As long as he had spirit power, he had the ability to cross social classes!
He immediately slapped Li Minghong on the back of his head.
"Little Hong! You've really brought glory to our ancestors!"
Li Minghong covered the back of his head, staring resentfully at his grandfather. This look made him momentarily dazed.
His grandfather laughed heartily, the wrinkles on his face creasing together. Those were the furrows dug by time, and within those furrows lay buried his deep unwillingness and helplessness as a commoner.
Yunshui Village, Nuoding City, Fasinuo Province, Heaven Dou Empire.
This was a feudal, autocratic imperialist nation, and internal corruption was inevitable.
Not many people cared about the well-being of commoners; they only demanded sufficient labor.
And even the lowest-level Spirit Master, compared to commoners, was like a noble.
Back home.
Grandfather prepared a lavish dinner, things he usually wouldn't even take out for New Year's.
At the dinner table, Grandfather drank a lot of wine, his eyes hazy, but the joy within them could not be hidden.
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Minghong helped his drunken grandfather to bed.
Then he returned to his room to check on his golden finger.
"Dungeon Space"
"Current unlocked dungeon: Kill young Tang San."
"Upon successful completion, items owned by young Tang San will be dropped and integrated into the host's body."
"What?! I'm about to take off!"
After all this waiting, had the golden finger finally felt his sincerity and appeared?!
"Young Tang San? A little brat is easy to handle!"
