O Earth, in a small apartment located in a city of a named gdu, a young man is sleeping in his bed.

  He is Ling Xu, and he is an orphan ever since his mother died three years ago.

  Before moving to the city, he lived with his mother in his hometown.

  It didn't take him long to decide to move te city after she died, as he ted into a prestigious uy.

  Leaving him with an iance, Ling Xu mao buy himself a small apartment where he could live.

  He thehe rest of his money for his daily expenses and he currently has enough to cover the year.

  Thinking about what would happen once his money ent, Ling Xu took a part time job that allowed him to almost double the time he would be able to cover his expenses.

  Having sustained a diligent life where he only uses his time for studying and w, Ling Xu has had little time to make friends.

  Even though his life seemed bleak at the moment, he felt satisfied given his circumstances as he had no oo rely on.

  When the sun came out, Ling Xu was already leaving his apartment ready to attend his first css.

  "Ugh, so tired!" he said while stretg his arms.

  Studying the entire night made him have just a few hours of sleep, and now he felt very tired.

  He went to the elevator as he heard somebody call him from behind.

  "Little Xu, are you going to css?"

  Turning around he looked at his neighbor.

  "Hi uncle Sun! I was about to, and you? I don't see you wearing your usual uniform" he looked at his neighbor with a bnk face.

  "Hey! Show some respect to your elder, I haven't taken a break from work for years."

  "Okay, okay" saying it as he didn't mean it, Ling Xu tinued looking at Sun Min with a bnk face.

  He was just having fun with him, after living for three years in the same pce he has bee pretty close with his neighbor Sun Min.

  Mr. Sun couldn't withstand the pressure from Ling Xu's look so he decided to leave.

  "Well, I have to go, see you" he turned around and took a few steps going to the elevator oher side.

  The versation ended pretty quick as they both had somewhere to go.

  Ling Xu also tio his elevator on the opposite dire as they both led to different streets.

  [Detected that ph is devoid of spiritual energy.]

  [Awakening spiritual veins of ph.]

  He immediately stopped walking as he heard a voi his mind.

  "What is this?"

  All of a sudden, a transparent message appeared in the middle of the air.

  [Spiritual veins awakened successfully.]

  It taihe same information as the voice that sounded in his mind.

  Ling Xu's face was that of shock as he couldn't believe what was happening.

  [Humans from ph, you have been given the ce to enter oh of cultivation.]

  [Ohe expnation ends you will be sent to the tutorial mission.]

  [All of you who meet the age requirement will be teleported when the tdown ends.]

  [Tutorial mission starts in 30 seds.]

  [Tutorial mission starts in 29 seds.]

  Ling Xu didn't uand what was going on as he saw the messages floating in the air and a tdown that tinued decreasing.

  "Uh?" he heard his neighbor a few steps away from him reag as a new series of messages poured down.

  [You may call for your status and mission panel once you have ehe tutorial mission.]

  [The tutorial mission will be full of dao survive you must gain experiend enter oh of cultivation. You gain experieer killis.]

  [When the beast has a higher stage of cultivation than you, the experience doubles for every stage. When the beast has a lower stage of cultivation than you, the experience halves for every stage.]

  Ling Xu and Mr. Sun were reading the messages, trying to uand as fast as they could.

  [Do your best!]

  [Tutorial mission starts in 10 seds.]

  "Am I imagining things after getting old?" Sun Min asked himself, trying to uand if he was halluating or if it was actually real.

  "No, I see it too."

  They were quiet as they tried processing the bomb that had fallen in front of them.

  At the same time, the tdown tio fall.

  [Tutorial mission starts in 8 seds.]

  [Tutorial mission starts in 7 seds.]

  [Tutorial mission starts in 6 seds.]

  Ling Xu just watched as the tdown he end.

  He didn't know what to do, these messages appeared out of nowhere and they didn't give them any time to prepare.

  "The time is about to end, let's hope to see each other back again" Ling Xu said as he sighed, knowing he couldn't do anything about it.

  "Be careful" said Mr. Sun, hoping they both could survive iorial mission.

  They didn't really have the time to uand the situation and had to just believe what they saw.

  As Ling Xu nodded with a flicted look, the tdown ended.

  [Tutorial mission starts now.]

  Then everywhere around the world, those who were old enough disappeared.

  And as the strange message said, time oh seemed to stop.

  At least for those who ehe tutorial.

  While those who were youhan the criteria had to wait for them to e back without knowing.

  ...

  "Uh?"
