In a certain place where there was nothing but eternal darkness, a small white dot floated aimlessly, this white dot is a soul and surprisingly, this soul still retains consciousness.
Faced with this complete emptiness, such a soul could only wander and curse at itself, as it was impossible to speak with words, only its thoughts could be used to take out its frustrations.
'Is this the afterlife? I never thought that I, Ling Xiaodao, the Saint of the Nine Elements would die... Sigh...
In the end I died like most Immortals, I was betrayed by the one I trusted the most, I was killed by my own maid, and also by one of my disciples, both wanted my techniques as well as my special physique...
But it's ironic, Physiques cannot be stolen and taken over by others... Upon killing the wielder, their Physique and Bloodline simply disappear, Immortals are even more impossible, in addition to disappearing, their own corpses turn to dust after their deaths. ..
It's kind of weird to think that was the reason, even a kid would know it would be impossible... Well, whatever, I'm already dead anyway... Sigh...
But one thing's for sure, I wouldn't live much longer, Santos doesn't have an estimate of unlimited life, I've lived through several eras, and each era is counted as 13 quadrillion years, I too have hit a bottleneck, I've seen countless powers ascending to the realm superior and leaving the Holy Universe, but I was never able to advance, well... Whatever!'
After cursing and expressing its thoughts, the soul continued to wander aimlessly in this immeasurable void, there was nothing to do even if it wanted to.
•Well, well, a wandering soul in this place, but how unheard of ~Fufufu.•
'Oh, who said that? Is there anyone else in this immensity?' Hearing such a voice, Ling Xiaodao was surprised and dumbfounded, but even before he could finish his thoughts, another voice was heard, which made him even more surprised.
•Humph, couldn't you be more serious? Let's just do what we're told and go back to where we came from!•
When the first voice heard the second, she seemed to get annoyed and then replied:
•Humph, you're always so bitter, no wonder you're always alone... Whatever, just take care of it however you want, I'll go for it! •
While the two voices seemed to argue, Ling Xiaodao just listened intently.
'Are these the so-called 'primordial beings' that I read in the ancient books? I feel like an ant in their presence, it sure widened my eyes and showed me how there are worlds outside the world, and I thought I was invincible... What a joke!' Ling Xiaodao secretly thought.
•Well, what to do? Anyway, child, I wish you a good trip, try not to make the same mistakes again...
Goodbye!•
'Huh? Child?... 'Ling Xiaodao was surprised at the way he was treated, but before he could finish a single sentence, awareness of him disappeared.
Some time later...
In a small town of a certain empire there was a large group of mansions, inside one of these mansions a baby cried incessantly, not that it was due to any problem, this baby was just born... In that mansion there were many people, men and women, as well as several teenagers and elders.
"Congratulations to the Patriarch, his third child was born perfectly healthy!"
"Blessed be my Xiao Family, a new life was born today!"
"Shut up you noisy old men, let me hold my grandson, I don't have much time after all!"
Several voices were constantly heard as the little baby cried, but the last voice to be heard had happiness and at the same time a hint of fear, this old man was prepared to die, every moment could be his last due to a poison he had been infected.
Who is this old man? This is Xiao Lin, the current Supreme Elder of the Xiao family, they are in Wutan City, in the Jia Ma Empire, located in the Northwest Continent, which in turn belongs to Planet Dou Qi.
The situation was one of pure happiness and also a lot of tension, both situations were equally balanced.
At the same time in another mansion that also belonged to the same group, another baby had just been born, but different from the previous situation, in this residence there were only two people, a man and a woman, there were no relatives to congratulate or any kind of support. .
"My son was finally born... Husband he looks a lot like you!" The woman suddenly said with her eyes watering as she held the little creature that had just been born in her arms.
"Lan'er you did well, don't talk, just rest, our son will be a dragon among men in the future!" A burly man replied next, he was overjoyed at the birth of his son.
The two are Xiao Lan, Xiao Lin's youngest daughter, and the man is Ling Sande, both are not very old, both are in their 35s, Ling Sande is a Peak Dou Ling while Xiao Lan is a Da Dou Shi Seven stars.
They've known each other for five years, the Xiao family doesn't know about Ling Sande's strength, for them Ling Sande is just an Intermediate Dou Shi, it goes without saying that the whole family is against the relationship between the two.
That's exactly why they're isolated from the rest of the family, not that they care, they didn't care before, and now that their son was born it just gave them something even more important to worry about.
Both of them caressed their son incessantly for some time, and finally Xiao Lan said:
"Husband, what will his name be? I don't want him to have the last name Xiao."
"What?" Listening to his wife, Ling Sande was extremely surprised, he had already prepared himself for countless discussions about which surname his son should go with, and unexpectedly his beloved wife said so.
"Well, in that case... his name will be Ling Xiaodao, may he be the greatest in the future!" After some thought, Ling Sande finally said, his wife seemed to like the name choice too.
Some time later....
After both parents put Ling Xiaodao to sleep and also slept, the little boy who was supposed to just sleep peacefully opened his eyes.
'Huh... I thought I was dead, but here I am, like a fragile and fluffy baby... These parents seem good, but my dad seems to be hiding something, it wasn't hard to see that he has a seal, that will be clarified in the future, now i need to check my Body, Roots, Meridians, Dantian and Bloodline...
I also need to know about this world, this isn't the Saint Universe, well... There's not much I can do as a newborn, first I'll just check my stats...
Phew... My two special Physiques are here, my two main Bloodlines too, there's also a third one, probably came from these parents... Dou Di Bloodline, despite being much weaker than the others it can't be considered weak in this place... The rest is also normal as it should be, whatever, I'll give it time, that's all I can do now!'
The little boy who had woken up checked everything he could about himself, and then went back to sleep as if nothing had happened... And so the night passed quickly.
