Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

The brother and sister lived a very hard life, relying on each other for survival.

But they were not overwhelmed by life; they continued to grow like tenacious weeds.

But the little girl never felt bitter, because her brother was always by her side.

They were each other's everything.

Fortunately, the villagers were kind and would sometimes help them out, allowing the brother and sister to feel a little warmth in the world.

The little girl kept every act of kindness in her heart, thinking that she would repay them when she grew up.

The little boy would tie ribbons for the little girl with scraps of cloth.

The strips of cloth were old, faded from washing, and swayed precariously as they were tied to the braid.

The little girl looked at her reflection in the water tank again and again, feeling like a little princess.

He would break the only half of his dry ration in half, and always put the larger half into her hand.

The only toy the brother and sister owned was a ghost mask they had found.

The masks are engraved with expressions that are neither crying nor laughing. The brother and sister often take turns wearing them and making funny faces, which makes each other giggle.

Having no jewelry, the boy found a rough piece of bronze and spent three days and three nights grinding it on a stone, until it became a simple ring that was almost unrecognizable.

He knelt down, solemnly slipped the bracelet onto his sister's slender wrist, and said with a smile, "When your brother becomes successful in the future, I'll get you an even prettier one, made of precious jade."

The little girl didn't care whether it was made by Baoyu or not; she liked anything her brother gave her.

He regarded this ring as the most precious treasure in the world, wearing it on his wrist every day, and refusing to take it off even when he slept.

She thought life would continue like this forever, and her brother would always be by her side until the end of time.

However, fate never favored this unfortunate brother and sister.

At that time, a force called the Great Sun Divine Dynasty was secretly capturing people with various special physiques, as they wanted to create artificial Chaos Bodies.

Multiple forces are secretly involved, including those at the level of Dao Proving Masters.

After witnessing the power of the Chaos Body King Bo, many forces quietly resumed their research on the Chaos Body.

They wanted to emulate the invincible path of the Great Emperor Wuji, creating a Chaos Body within their own faction to ensure their eternal wealth and prosperity.

However, they dared not act openly, since the Heavenly Court was there, and they dared not arrest powerful forces.

So they sent people to secretly investigate various small mountain villages.

Although it's slow, it's safe.

The brother and sister's village happened to be there that day.

On that day, the sky was filled with rosy clouds, and the cultivators of the Great Sun Divine Dynasty descended from the heavens.

The leader was a middle-aged man with hawk-like eyes.

They immediately took a liking to the boy who was chopping wood.

"It's an indestructible golden body!"

The leader of the Great Sun Dynasty was filled with excitement, never expecting to be so lucky.

I've actually encountered a top-tier physique like the Undying Golden Body; I'm going to be richly rewarded.

They then examined the little girl, their divine senses sweeping over her body. Her meridians were blocked, her dantian was depleted, and her bones were fragile, making her even weaker than an ordinary mortal.

The middle-aged man in the lead shook his head, looking disgusted: "What a pity, the brother has an indestructible golden body, but the sister is a good-for-nothing."

He waved his hand, and several cultivators stepped forward to take the boy away.

The little girl rushed over, clung tightly to her brother's leg, and cried her heart out.

"Don't take my brother away! Please, don't take my brother away!"

She clung tightly to her brother's trouser leg, her fingernails broke and blood seeped out, but she didn't care.

A powerful force blasted her away, sending her flying and crashing to the ground. She scraped her knee, and blood streamed down her calf.

"Please, please let me take my sister with me." The boy struggled desperately, but he was being held by two cultivators and couldn't break free.

He turned his head and looked at his sister who had fallen to the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes. "She's still so young. She can't survive on her own."

But nobody paid him any attention.

The boy was lifted into the air, and he struggled desperately.

Looking back at the village that was getting smaller and smaller, and at that tiny figure on the ground...

"Little sister, wait for me..."

The boy was taken away.

The bronze ring on her wrist was their final bond in this life.

"Brother... Brother..."

The little girl cried and chased after it desperately, falling and bleeding from her head, but she still couldn't catch up.

She could only watch her brother leave her, and at that moment, the little girl's heart was filled with despair.

The little girl didn't understand why she and her brother had to be separated.

They had already suffered so much; she lost her parents at a young age, and now her brother had left her.

She was only six years old that year!

Years later, the little girl survived and learned various survival skills; she could do everything that adults could.

She would wipe the ring clean every day, waiting for her brother to come home.

She believed her brother would definitely come back, hold her in his arms like he did when they were little, and say with a smile, "Little sister, your brother is back."

She dreamed of this, believing that her brother had simply gone to a powerful sect to cultivate, and would return to pick her up once he had achieved success.

Then they will be able to reunite.

With this thought in mind, the little girl's heart was filled with hope.

Every morning he would smile at the north, the direction his brother had left in. She would wait for his return forever...

What the little girl didn't know was that after her brother had been cultivating for a period of time, he was tied to a mysterious altar.

There are several others like him, all with special physical conditions.

The Great Sun Divine Dynasty initiated a blood sacrifice, forcibly extracting the essence of the Holy Body. The altar absorbed the Holy Blood and emitted an eerie light.

The pain was excruciating and agonizing.

The boy's life force rapidly faded, his consciousness blurred, and he began to hallucinate.

He saw his younger sister sitting on the doorstep, her chin resting on her hand, gazing towards the village entrance. She was waiting for him to return, but he could never go back…

"It doesn't matter if I die... but who will take care of my sister..."

The boy's eyes slowly closed, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, slid down his cheek, and dripped onto the altar.

The boy died, in a secret corner unknown to anyone, his sacred essence drained away.

One day, many people returned, and the little girl was overjoyed, thinking that her brother had come back.

But to her surprise, what she found was a corpse.

Once again enveloped in boundless despair, the little girl trembled all over and lunged at the corpse like a madwoman.

They were pulled away by the people of the Great Sun Divine Dynasty. They still had a use for the corpse; they were only here to inform them.

"Practice goes awry and leads to demonic possession."

This is the reason given by the Great Sun Divine Dynasty, which is absurd and perfunctory.

On that day, a little girl with pigtails knelt in front of the grave and wailed, her cries echoing throughout the entire mountain village.

She cried until she fainted.

Jiang Hao stood on the river of time, his face calm, but the aura around him was surging.

The river of time seemed to sense Jiang Hao's emotions and began to fluctuate, with waves crashing against both banks, shattering countless fragments of the scene.

Jiang Hao was not surprised by the emergence of a force like the Great Sun Divine Dynasty.

There's nothing new under the sun, Jiang Hao knew that all the major powers were like big trees, with lush branches and leaves, but there were always dark places where the sun couldn't reach.

As time goes by and as the world changes, certain parts of the tree will rot.

Human hearts are fickle, and one cannot gamble with them; the Great Sun Dynasty is such a corrupt place.

Several powerful forces secretly colluded and took risks for their own interests.

Once ambition takes hold, it is hard to dissipate; as long as the benefits are great enough, the risks are insignificant.

When the potential profit is doubled, many people will think twice.

When faced with tenfold or even hundredfold returns, what are the risks? Does such a thing even exist?
