Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

When Wei Fang opened his eyes from his deep sleep, he saw a clean white room, bright but not glaring lights, and a device next to him that beeped occasionally.

"This...this is..."

Wei Fang suddenly felt a headache coming on, as if many thoughts were floating in his mind but then vanishing without a trace.

"The patient's family members sign here, and they can be discharged shortly. This child is lucky to be alive this time, but he can't sneak off to play in the water again."

The couple, their expressions a mixture of tension and relief, repeatedly agreed.

Upon seeing the couple, Wei Fang felt a lump in his throat for some reason, and his eyes became somewhat moist.

I couldn't help but call out, "Dad... Mom..."

The woman hugged Wei Fang tightly and burst into tears, "Why are you so naughty, child? If your second uncle hadn't seen you like this, you wouldn't be alive today."

Wei Fang patted his mother's shoulder with difficulty and said, "I know, I won't do it again."

Seeing that his child was dazed, Wei's father quickly asked, "Xiao Fang, you look so pale, is something wrong? I'll go find a doctor to take a look!"

Wei Fang turned to look at his father, gave a weak laugh, and said, "I'm fine. It's just like I had a dream, but I can't remember anything. I've probably been sleeping too much these past few days."

.........

After that, Fang's life gradually got back on track, slowly progressing from elementary school to middle school, to university, and then to starting work.

However, ever since he could remember, Wei Fang would occasionally have a very strange feeling no matter what he did.

Sometimes, the things he did a second ago made him feel as if he had already experienced them at the same time and place a long time ago.

Occasionally, when he's halfway through doing something, he'll freeze in place, imagining what it would be like if he had already finished it.

These occasional occurrences made him wonder if he had some kind of genetic mutation in his mental state, allowing him to temporarily borrow the future.

However, after searching online, I found that many people had similar experiences, so I treated it as a normal thing.

Time flies, and Wei Fangbian is already thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.

He quit his job, which he had long been tired of, and returned to his hometown with his parents, wife, and children to start a new life.

Looking at his aging parents and growing children, Wei Fang is sometimes surprised at how fast time flies.

In the blink of an eye, I've gone from an eight or nine-year-old child to almost halfway through my life.

However, he is very content with his life most of the time.

After returning to his hometown, Wei Fang lived a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and he didn't know how much time had passed like this.

……

"What's wrong with me these past few days? I wake up precisely at 4:30 in the morning. It's always within two minutes of my wake-up time. It's amazing."

Wei Fang opened his eyes again, picked up his phone, and saw that it was 4:29 a.m. This situation had been going on for almost a week.

He gently got up and put on a light jacket; it was almost autumn and he needed to be careful to prevent the flu.

It would be bad if it were transmitted to children.

A man came to the living room and silently smoked a cigarette. Suddenly, an idea struck him and he remembered something.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the starry sky at night in my hometown. As far as I can remember, it's been since I was old enough to remember. Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well go out to the yard and take a look."

Thinking of this, Wei decided to open the door and take a look.

But at that moment, the bedroom door was pushed open, revealing his wife, Xixi.

"Honey, what are you doing sitting in the living room so late? We're taking Yaya to Uncle's house tomorrow. Go back to sleep."

Seeing his wife rubbing her eyes and yawning while showing concern for him, Wei Fang felt a warmth in his heart.

He said, "You go to sleep first, I'll go outside and take a look and then come back."

There were several more sounds of doors opening; it turned out that the bedroom doors of the parents and their youngest daughter had also opened.

The whole family was curious about what Wei Fang was doing out so late at night instead of sleeping.

After hearing that Wei Fang wanted to open the door to take a look, they all advised him that it was too early and there was nothing to see before dawn.

In the countryside, the nights are pitch black; there are hardly any stars to be seen.

Wei Fang chuckled softly and said, "I've been waking up early these past few days, so it's good to go out and get some fresh air."

After saying that, he walked towards the gate.

"Don't!"

"Daddy, I'm afraid of the dark. Let's not go out. Daddy, stay with Yaya and let her sleep."

The sound of his daughter crying came from behind him, and Wei Fang's heart softened. He was about to turn around.

But at that moment, he felt a jolt in his heart, as if there was something he wanted to remember but could never quite recall.

Wei Fang couldn't help but rub his head, annoyed, "What am I trying to remember? Why do I feel this way again?"

He turned back to the group and forced a smile, saying, "I'll just open it and take a look. It'll be quick."

After saying that, he pushed the door open with both hands, ignoring the mournful expressions on everyone's faces!

Before me lay a silent, dark night, so dark that I could not see my hand in front of my face.

Wei Fang felt a sense of relief.

It's about time I said, "See? I told you I'd just take one look and go back to sleep..."

But as they were talking, an unbelievable situation unfolded before their eyes.

It looked as if streaks of green flames were slowly rising from the distant horizon.

The surrounding farmland in the distance and the houses nearby began to burn slowly, and the world was instantly shattered.

The once pitch-black world was now filled with all sorts of bizarre and wonderful sights.

As the flames burned faster and faster, the world before his eyes was soon divided into two parts.

Part of it is the world he now lives in, with his aging parents, and his worried wife and daughter.

On the other side of the fiery aura... lies the unknown.

"This...this is...did you see this?" Wei Fang began to murmur.

"Son, son! Close the door and come back quickly!" The parents pleaded desperately from not far behind.

Half a day.

Wei Fang turned to the side and glanced back at them.

He swallowed hard before speaking.

"I can't go back anymore."

A ring had appeared on her hand sometime during the day and was now shining brightly.

A glint flashed in Wei Fang's eyes; he remembered.

All of this, all of this, is nothing but an illusion.

After saying this, he was about to disappear into the unknown space ahead.

He knew that must be the exit from the illusion.

"Where are you going? Don't you want us anymore? How could you be so heartless as to abandon us?"

Wei Fang paused, turned around, and looked at his parents, wife, and children for a long time before slowly speaking.

"No matter who you are, thank you for letting me see them again. But even the best dreams are still just dreams."

"If they knew their son would embark on the path of monasticism... they would be proud of me."

"Goodbye, Father, Mother, and... Fairy Sister. I never imagined that even you would materialize in my dream."

Without saying goodbye, Wei Fang transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

Behind him, all sounds and everything were crumbling and turning to ashes!

Goodbye to everything here. No matter how hard it is to let go, a fake is still a fake. I am no longer the mortal I once was.

Wei Fang silently thought to himself, "From the moment I stepped into the world of cultivation, I told myself I wouldn't regret it. Even if it means my soul is annihilated in the end!"
