Outside a delivery room in the west of Lin City, Jia Ma Empire, in the northwest of the Dou Qi Continent, a young man paced anxiously back and forth. Clearly, the woman giving birth inside was his wife.
As he paced, he muttered, "That little brat, why isn't he coming out yet?"
Just as he spoke, a clear cry rang out from the room. "Waa, waa, waa!" "He's born, he's born!" the man shouted as he rushed inside.
The midwife wrapped the newborn child in cotton cloth and said, "Congratulations, it's a boy." The man first glanced at the child in delight, then walked to the bedside to look at the mother. "Madam, you've worked hard," Liu Ming said gently.
Meanwhile, the child wrapped in swaddling clothes slowly awakened to a trace of awareness. I'm still conscious. Where is this? After crying for a while, he fell asleep.
Four years later, a group of children were playing together. One of them, plainly dressed yet extremely adorable, seemed remarkably quiet, entirely out of place amid the lively atmosphere.
He sat quietly to one side. It had been four years since he had transmigrated here, and he had finally begun to understand the local language. Through indirect inquiries, he had confirmed that this world possessed a supernatural power known as Dou Qi.
He was currently in Lin City of the Jia Ma Empire, and the final conclusion left him utterly stunned. In other words, this was the world of Battle Through the Heavens. To his former self, it had only been a novel, but to his current self, it was his world. In this brutal world where the strong devoured the weak and supernatural powers existed, people could really die!
After his initial excitement faded, he gradually calmed down and began planning for his future. Especially since his damn father had named him Liu Xi.
In the Original Work, Liu Xi was a minor villain in the early stages of Battle Through the Heavens. He was invited by the Jia Lie Family to refine medicinal pills against the Xiao Family. In the end, because he coveted Xun Er's beauty, he suffered a humanitarian destruction at the hands of the protagonist, Xiao Yan.
Of course, there were countless people with the same name, so he could not yet be certain that he was that disposable character, Liu Xi. His father had once been a mercenary and had reached the realm of a Three-star Dou Master, but later retired after being injured. He could follow his father in cultivating Dou Qi, but when would he begin apprenticing to learn the most important art of alchemy?
If he truly was the disposable Liu Xi from the Original Work, then his greatest calamity would be accepting the Jia Lie Family's invitation to refine pills and clashing with the protagonist.
Leaving aside whether Xiao Yan's protagonist aura would affect him, Pocket Grandpa Yao Lao alone would be more than he could handle. Not to mention Young Miss Gu Xun Er of the Ancient Clan.
He knew his own situation best. He did not have any cheat abilities. He should lie low; staying alive was what mattered most.
As the sky gradually darkened, the children slowly dispersed, and Liu Xi began walking home. The Liu Xi household was in the west of Lin City. His father, Liu Ming, now worked as an instructor at a martial arts school. His mother, Li Yue, had once cultivated Dou Qi as well, but she clearly lacked the talent for it. Later, after Liu Ming retired from mercenary work due to his injury, she married him and devoted herself wholeheartedly to caring for her husband and raising their child.
After returning home, he first greeted his mother. "Mother, I'm back," he said.
Hearing her son's voice, Li Yue said, "Xi'er, you're back. You must be hungry, right? Have some snacks first."
"Okay, Mother."
Not long afterward, Liu Ming returned as well. After dinner, Liu Xi went before his dad and said eagerly, "Dad, I want to begin cultivating."
Liu Ming's smile faded as he said, "Xi'er, are you ready?"
"Yes, I'm ready," Liu Xi said firmly.
"Very well. Go to bed early tonight. We'll officially begin tomorrow," Liu Ming said slowly.
"Can't it wait another year or two? Xi'er is still so young," Li Yue said worriedly. Compared with cultivation, a mother was more likely to worry that her son's body would not be able to endure it.
"He's not that young anymore, and this is Xi'er's own decision," Liu Ming said, turning to Li Yue.
"Dad, Mother, I definitely won't let you down," Liu Xi said with a smile to Liu Ming and Li Yue after receiving his father's approval. At the same time, he thought, I can finally begin cultivating Dou Qi.
In the original plot, there had been no introduction to Liu Xi's parents. Yet Liu Xi had lived with them day and night for four years and had received their meticulous care for four years. Although his mature soul sometimes made him feel awkward about acting childish in front of his parents, Liu Xi had sincerely accepted the Parents of this life.
Moreover, Liu Ming and Li Yue were both quite attractive. As their child, Liu Xi now had red lips and white teeth. Though his features had not fully matured, he was clearly the makings of a handsome man, the kind who would be adorable from childhood through adulthood. Liu Xi was also very satisfied with this appearance.
Although I don't have any cheat abilities, the souls of transmigrators are stronger than ordinary people's. My early cultivation should progress relatively quickly. Liu Xi returned to his room and began considering his advantages. Then he smiled confidently. He would know everything tomorrow.
