[A male protagonist who grows and matures; put aside your thoughts and enjoy the story!]
...
Cangling Continent, Yunqing Kingdom.
Spring of the fourth year of the Qingli era!
"Where the hell did this come from? Is it still in Earth?"
In the grass, Gu Ming sat up with a bewildered look on his face. He looked around and saw the mountains rising and falling, stretching endlessly, the sky hanging low, and the vast sea of clouds surging.
When he looked up, he saw two figures moving like streaks of light, locked in a fierce battle, just like the battle between cultivators he had imagined.
In the dim light, one could still see glimpses of spring beneath the white-clad woman's skirt, more alluring than the landscape itself.
"So white, so long, so lustrous!!!"
Lost in thought, Gu Ming suddenly froze, his pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Wait, a glowing sword? People who can fly? No wire work? Did they accidentally wander onto a film set? Such realistic special effects, such dedicated actors! Who said the Chinese entertainment industry is finished? This Chinese entertainment industry is amazing! Isn't this great!"
Zheng!
Suddenly, a sword aura visibly slashed past Gu Ming's ear, leaving a trench more than ten meters long in the ground, still steaming.
Gu Ming was stunned. He reached out and picked up the severed hair. He was horrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Something seems off about the plot."
In a panic, Gu Ming pondered what was going on.
I still remember yesterday, when the race for the Akina Mountain Speed King entered the exciting final stage, which was thrilling and got everyone's blood pumping.
In an attempt to overtake the leader, the second-place driver accelerated through the drainage ditch instead of slowing down.
It took off from the spot for several hundred meters, then crashed into the bottom of the mountain with a loud bang and exploded violently.
It just so happened that Gu Ming was squatting in the rapeseed field defecating and hadn't had time to wipe his butt yet.
When I woke up again, I looked up and saw two figures fighting back and forth in the sky, their eyes flashing with cold light.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ming's face was filled with anger, and he began to curse.
"What the hell did I do to deserve this? I just took a dump."
"Wait, something's not right. I think I've traveled through time?"
As cattle and horses, time travel is something they can easily accept.
Looking up, the battle in the sky had ended. The white-clad female swordsman was slightly stronger, her aura was cold, and she pointed her sword at the man opposite her.
From their conversation, we learned that the man's name was Lin Tian and the woman's name was Shangguan Ling, and that it was all old, trivial matters.
One is affectionate, the other is indifferent; their love is unrequited, turning into hatred, and a battle erupts.
Although Gu Ming was a beast of burden, he was kind!
"Alright, alright, it's not easy for either of us. Let's each take a step back and stop fighting."
The two men's brows furrowed slightly, but they ignored Gu Ming.
"Lin Tian, you've lost. As agreed, you must not bother me anymore. I'm focused on the Dao and won't consider personal feelings. Give up on this idea."
Lin Tian's face darkened, and he let out a cold snort.
"Shangguan Ling, do you think you can get rid of me? I will have my mother propose marriage to your Shangguan family. Heh, the Shangguan family can't afford to offend my Lin family. You will become my woman sooner or later."
Shangguan Ling looked coldly at Lin Tian, sheathed her sword, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Wishful thinking. I have already joined the Heart-Seeking Sect. No matter how powerful your Lin family is, they can't control the Heart-Seeking Sect. Give up on that idea."
Then, Shangguan Ling glared at Gu Ming.
"You little rascal."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Ling flew away on her sword and disappeared into the horizon.
Gu Ming: ? ? ?
"What scoundrel? I'm just appreciating it. I'm just a worldly person."
Shaking his head, Gu Ming prepared to begin his time-travel journey and was about to leave.
Lin Tian appeared, blocking his way with an unfriendly gaze.
Gu Ming paused slightly, looked at the well-dressed Lin Tian, and said quietly.
"You wouldn't be so angry with me because you couldn't have me, would you? You'd want to kill me to vent your anger."
Lin Tian smiled coldly, his whole body radiating a fierce killing intent that caused the grass and trees to bend and sand and stones to fly as he locked onto Gu Ming.
"You guessed right, your reward is to die."
A sharp sword light shot towards him, and Gu Ming froze. No... something was wrong with the script.
Terrified, he turned and ran away.
"Bro, this is a new account, don't mess it up!"
"Golden finger, old man, system, magic sword...
*swoosh*!"
Gu Ming felt a sudden dizziness, his head fell to the ground, his consciousness blurred, as if he were trapped in a swamp, and the world was pitch black.
"It's over...!"
He died suddenly!
Having vented his anger by killing Gu Ming, Lin Tian felt much of his resentment dissipate and sheathed his spirit sword.
"You little ant, you feel much better now. Shangguan Ling, just you wait, I'll make you kneel at my feet and groan sooner or later."
Just as Lin Tian was about to leave after crushing Gu Ming's head with a stomp, the communication talisman suddenly lit up.
Lin Tian was puzzled. He picked up the communication talisman, and a flash of inspiration came through him. An anxious voice came through.
"Big brother, waaaaah, you have to go back to the Lin family right away, Mother... she... she..."
Lin Tian was shocked and panicked.
"What's wrong with Mother?"
"My mother suddenly exploded."
My mom exploded?!
Lin Tian was dumbfounded, feeling like the sky had fallen. His mother was a Core Formation Realm expert, how could she have exploded?
"Waaah, Mother was telling me funny stories about you when you were little, and suddenly it exploded, splattering blood all over me. Please come back quickly."
Lin Tian's body cracked open. Without thinking twice, he rushed to the Lin family.
After he left, Gu Ming's body mysteriously disappeared, as if it had never existed.
...
One day later, in Luozhen, at the old temple.
The old temple was dilapidated, covered in dust and cobwebs, and the statues of the gods had cracks due to years of neglect.
On the grass, Gu Ming, dressed in coarse linen clothes and with disheveled hair, slowly woke up, looking bewildered.
Sitting up, Gu Ming patted his head, feeling a sharp pain.
"I...I'm not dead?"
Looking around at his surroundings, Gu Ming was filled with doubt and muttered to himself.
"Something's not right... Did I restart? Is this a new account?"
"What's going on? At least let me kill some monsters and accumulate some experience points."
As he was pondering this, a shimmering panel appeared in his mind, and a flood of information poured into his brain.
