Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Deep in the starry sky, a dazzling array of five-colored rays of light suddenly shone brightly.

At first, the rosy glow was confined to a small area, appearing insignificant in the boundless starry sky, like a grain of sand in the desert or a drop of seawater in the ocean.

But this tiny ray of light rewrote the rules of heaven and earth, distorted time and space, made the entire starry sky appear illusory, and stirred up invisible ripples.

Time and spacetime stand still here, the fundamental laws of physics are rewritten, and the entire starry sky is deathly silent, with only the seemingly insignificant glow of the sunset shimmering, releasing boundless vitality.

The next instant, the radiant light burst forth, sweeping outwards and transforming into a silver river that stretched across the starry sky.

The darkness was dispelled, and the entire Heng galaxy, including hundreds of inhabited stars centered on the battlefield, was enveloped in a glow.

No matter where you are, as long as you are still within this galaxy, as long as you look up, you can see the colorful glow that covers the sky.

Deep in the starry sky, a colorful portal slowly opened, and a True Lord in a green robe stepped out from the portal, treading on the flowing starry river.

"I remember you were called the Crimson Fire Demon Lord, and you were a little insect from the Yin Yin Domain, right?"

"Come, I'll give you a chance. Say what you just said again in front of me."

……

……

"Wang Ergou! You think you're so tough, huh? Daring to venture into the mountains all by yourself! Your mother just knitted you new clothes, and after only a few days, you've ruined them! I'll beat you to death today!"

On a dirt road in the countryside, a farm girl with tanned skin strode forward, shouting at the top of her lungs.

The girl looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. She was wearing tattered clothes, carrying a wooden stick she had picked up from the ground, and her face showed obvious anger.

The girl's hands, which were covered in calluses, were clearly calloused from years of hard work.

A few steps away, a boy covered in mud was chasing after her desperately, as if afraid of being caught by the girl.

The boy was only six or seven years old. Although he had inexhaustible energy, he was still too young. He was quickly grabbed by the girl behind him, who picked up a stick and began to beat him severely.

"Sister! Sister! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Sis, please be gentle!"

"I'll never do it again! I promise I'll never do it again!"

"Sister! Please forgive me! I promise I'll never go into the mountains again!"

The boy named Wang Ergou cried out pitifully, sobbing with snot and tears streaming down his face, as if he had suffered some great injustice.

His sister didn't stop there. Instead, she grabbed the stick and lashed Wang Ergou seven or eight more times, making the boy wail in pain. He clung to his sister's leg and refused to let go.

Amidst the chaos, seeing the boy crying so hard, his sister finally stopped, threw down the stick she was holding, and grabbed the boy's ear.

"You know you're wrong? What a load of bull! You're just trying to fool me! I think you're simply scared of being beaten!"

As she cursed, the girl's gaze swept over the boy, focusing on the spots where he had been hit with the stick.

Just as she thought, although the boy cried a lot, his injuries were not serious, and he would only be in pain for half a day at most.

Ultimately, she was mindful throughout the beating, not letting her anger cloud her judgment, but rather restraining her strength and hitting areas that were unlikely to be injured.

After confirming that everything was correct, the girl tightened her grip on the boy's ear, causing the boy to howl in pain.

After a while, she released her grip and gave the crying boy a light kick.

"What kind of man is he, constantly crying and whining?"

Wipe your tears clean! If you cry again, I'll keep beating you!

The crying stopped abruptly. Under his sister's harsh words, the boy, who had been beaten and was terrified, sobbed twice and dared not cry any longer.

The girl ignored him, cursing as she walked towards the stream, spewing out all sorts of offensive words, as if she hated the boy to the extreme.

For some reason, she deliberately slowed her pace, walking and stopping frequently, as if waiting for the boy to catch up.

The two siblings walked to the stream, where the girl stopped and turned to look at the timid boy behind her.

"Useless! You have no manly qualities whatsoever! All you do is cry!"

After another round of angry curses, the girl fiercely stripped the boy of his new clothes. Under the boy's terrified gaze, she grabbed the clothes and walked to the stream, carefully cleaning them with the water.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the girl kept her back to the boy and didn't say a single kind word.

She only said something when the clothes were almost dry.

"When you get home, if your parents ask, just say that I took you into the mountains. Don't say anything else. Just act scared like you are now."

"I ruined your new clothes, and your injuries are because I didn't take good care of you."

"Once we get back to the room, you stay under the covers and don't come out no matter what noise you hear, understand?"

The voice wasn't loud, and it trembled slightly, but the boy didn't notice and just kept nodding.

Having just been "beaten" by his older sister, the boy was terrified of her and completely oblivious to the meaning behind her words.

It wasn't until the two returned home, and the boy had dealt with his parents as his sister had instructed, and returned to his room comforted by his mother, that he realized what had happened.

She was wrapped in a warm blanket, her mother was gently comforting her by the bedside, but all she could hear was her sister's suppressed sobs.

Hearing his sister's suppressed sobs, Wang Ergou really wanted to tell his mother.

"That's not how it is! It wasn't my sister who took him into the mountains. He just ran into the mountains because he was playing around. My sister just found him and brought him back."

"It's not my sister's fault, it's all his fault. He did something wrong, don't hit my sister..."

The urgency in his heart grew, and just as Wang Ergou was about to throw off the quilt, he heard his father's roar.

"I'll beat you to death, you useless piece of trash! You can't even watch a person properly! Do you even know how expensive that dress is?"

The thin walls of the farmhouse could not block out the father's roar, nor could they block out the sound of the stick whistling.

Hearing his father's roar and his sister's increasingly shrill screams, fear overwhelmed all other emotions and surged into Wang Ergou's heart.

Scenes hidden deep in his memory flashed through Wang Ergou's mind; they were from when he was five years old.

A five-year-old child was hung from a tree and whipped repeatedly until his skin was torn and bleeding, until he was barely conscious...

Due to the body's self-protection mechanism, this memory was forgotten by young Wang Ergou, but it is recalled again at this moment.

An indescribable fear gnawed at Wang Ergou's heart, causing him to shrink into the quilt and wrap himself up tightly.

A moment later, soft sobbing could be heard in the room.

"Ergou, you must have been terrified today... It's okay, it's okay... Mommy's right here. Ergou is a brave little man, we're not afraid, not afraid..."

That night, the boy huddled under the covers, sobbing silently, while the girl hid in a corner, trying to hold back her tears.

……

After that day, the relationship between the siblings seemed to have changed somewhat, yet it also seemed that nothing had changed.

Wang Ergou will still make some minor mistakes, and his sister will still chase after him with a stick to beat him.

But when he was being beaten, Wang Ergou no longer cried and whined like before, nor did he curse his sister in his heart over and over again.

The young boy gradually came to understand that his sister was actually very, very good.
