8 in the morning, the sky was overcast.
It has been winter in S City for several days now. It wasnât so cold until today, where the temperature dropped the lowest to below zero.
When it rains, it pours. It was cloudy today with the north wind whistling by.
On the street, the young man, who ran around wearing a sweater yesterday, was shivering, hugging his jacket tightly.
Two traffic policemen turned into a street on their motorcycle and saw a car parked in a no parking lane by the side of the road. They immediately drove over.
There was a man in his twenties in the car. A handsome young man with sword eyebrows and stars-like eyes was sitting in the driverâs seat holding a bag of buns and a bag of soy milk. He stared blankly ahead, it wasnât known what he was thinking about.
The traffic policeman sitting behind on the motorcycle knocked on the window with his leather-gloved hand. The young man in the car looked out the window as if suddenly awakened.
He smiled apologetically at the traffic policemen. He put the buns and soy milk in his hands into the large pockets on his jacket, then fastened his seatbelt and started the car.
The car slowly drove away, Lu Yanzhouâs smile vanished. He was in a bad mood.
He had just crossed over to become the âLu Yanzhouâ who bought buns and soy milk for breakfast in this world, then he received the original ownerâs life memories in the car.
He suddenly became a scum who deceived and embezzled public funds and even plotted and killed someone for their property1. As a party member, he was a little uncomfortable.
The one who was killed was his best friend, this made it even more difficult for him to accept.
Lu Yanzhou was born on a planet called earth. Because of his soul strength, he was selected by the World Management after his death to become one of them. Through unremitting efforts, he became one of the four management leaders, or in other words, one of the four main gods, codenamed White Tiger.
World Management is responsible for managing the small worlds. They will send employees into those unstable small worlds to help stabilize the small world.
He finds this job very rewarding. He has been working diligently, even when he becomes a main god, he still does the task.
However, not long ago, one of the four management leaders, the main god codenamed âBlack Tortoiseâ rebelled.
Black Tortoise held many small worlds hostage. He extracted those small worldsâ energy to attack the World Management, trying to devour the remaining three âmain godsâ to become the only god.
Lu Yanzhou and the others want to protect the small world, so they fight against Black Tortoise, but they inevitably fall to a disadvantage. Just as Lu Yanzhou was about to sacrifice himself by blowing himself against Black Tortoise, Xie Chengze, another main god codenamed Azure Dragon, blew himself up first, inflicting heavy wounds on Black Tortoise.
Black Tortoise operation failed, then he immediately wrapped Xie Chengzeâs broken soul after his self-destruction into those less stable small worlds where he had extracted their energies.
Lu Yanzhou and Vermillion Bird want to rescue Xie Chengze and kill Black Tortoise but those little worlds are unstable, and outsiders canât enter. If one were to enter by force, the small world would collapse.
The collapse of a small world will not only annihilate all the creatures in that world, even Xie Chengzeâs soul fragments will also dissipate. This is something they donât want to see.
Lu Yanzhou was extremely anxious, but he suddenly discovered that the world where Xie Chengzeâs soul fragments went has left a âholeâ for people to enter.
After Xie Chengzeâs soul fragment entered the small world, he was still called Xie Chengze, and around Xie Chengze is a man named Lu Yanzhou. This personâs appearance and soul aura are very similar to him.
As long as Lu Yanzhou seals his strength, he can replace the Lu Yanzhou in that small world.
As for his task, he has to take Xie Chengzeâs soul fragment from the small world and also help the small world get away from Black Tortoise control.
Lu Yanzhou drove while sorting out his memories. Sorting and sorting, he suddenly hit the brakes.
This road is located in S City old city center. The road is relatively narrower with various small shops along the road. At this moment, a thin elder lady with a cane and a black hat suddenly stopped and leaned on the curb. She sat down slowly against a pillar at the entrance of a clothing store. Her hand was shaking, as if she was trying to take something out of her arms.
Noticing that the old ladyâs face is very abnormal, Lu Yanzhou hurriedly got out of the car and ran over. He helped the old lady take out the medicine bottle from her arms, then pour out two pills and put it into the old ladyâs mouth.
The old lady looked quite old with all her white hair exposed under her hat. She sat slumped along the wall, breathing rapidly.
Lu Yanzhou asked: âElder, I will take you to the hospital?â
The old lady waved her hand: âNo, no needâ¦Thank you, young manâ¦â
The old lady took the medicine and was in better condition. She shivered and took out an old phone to make a call.
Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou took out the hot soy milk that had been stuffed into the pocket of his down jacket and put it into the old ladyâs arms: âYou hold it to cover your hand.â
âThank youâ¦â The old lady smiled gratefully.
Lu Yanzhou shook the old ladyâs wrist, making sure that the old lady was out of danger before relaxing. After the old lady made the call, she explained the situation to the person on the other end of the phone.
After all this, he got up and walked to his car. As a result, when he looked up, he saw the big brother traffic policeman, who knocked on his window before, stopped beside his car again.
However, big brother traffic policeman didnât give him a ticket. Instead, he gave him a thumbs up.
Lu Yanzhou smiled.
The north wind made his face hurt but also made him completely awake.
He has entered the small world with a new identity. He shouldnât think too much about it now, instead, he should save Xie Chengze as soon as possible.
Lu Yanzhou got into the car. He restarted the car, then went to Xieâs house.
Heâs going to find Xie Chengze.
This small world is similar to earth in the 21st century where he comes from, this is simply a parallel world.
A piece of Xie Chengzeâs soul is in this world. His current identity is the eldest son of the Xie family.
His body identity is the young master from madam Xie family.
Lu Yanzhouâs car soon entered an old villa area.
He often comes here. The number of car is registered with the property so when he went in, thereâs no obstruction. He finally stopped in front of one of the villas.
Since S City issued a policy not to build villas, the price of single-family villas in urban areas has been rising steadily. The Xie family lived in this four-story single family villa with a basement and a large garden. The price is already in the hundreds of millions.
Lu Yanzhouâs car just stop, a middle-aged man in his forties in a white shirt and black coat with a mustache on his upper lips came out of the house and said with a smile: âYoung master2, you are early today!â
âHello, Uncle Wang.â Lu Yanzhou greeted the housekeeper.
Housekeeper Wang opened the door and let Lu Yanzhou enter the house. As soon as Lu Yanzhou entered, he felt a wave of heat.
The air conditioner in the villa is very warm. Lu Yanzhou took off his coat and hung it at the door, then asked the housekeeper: âWhat about my aunt and the others?â
âMaster went to the company. Madam took young master to participate in the holiday activities organized by young masterâs school.â Said the housekeeper.
Lu Yanzhou nodded: âIâll go see my elder cousin.â
âYoung master, walk slowly.â Housekeeper Wang watched as Lu Yanzhou walked upstairs.
Lu Yanzhou went up the stairs of the villa to the fourth floor.
When Lu Yanzhou opened the stairs door, he saw a huge glass box placed on the fourth floor that was completely empty.
Actually, it shouldnât be called a glass box but a sterile ward.
The box covers an area of about 40 square feet. It was divided into three spaces, namely the bedroom, bathroom, and the largest is the living room. Around the box are other things, such as the disinfection room connected to the box, air purifiers, and others.
In the glass box was a pale young man with shoulder length hair.
He was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was very thin with delicate and cold facial features with a pair of almond eyes and long hair that was left uncare and disheveledâ¦
When he looked at people, he gave people an indescribable one of a kind innocence that made people pity.
Seeing Lu Yanzhou, his eyes suddenly shine brightly. He ran towards Lu Yanzhou and stopped by the glass wall. With a big smile, he said: âYanzhou, you come to see me!â
âMm. I came to see you.â Seeing him, Lu Yanzhouâs heart finally calmed down.
This is Xie Chengze.
After Xie Chengze blew himself up, his soul fragment was thrown into the small world by Black Tortoise.
Black Tortoise did this to devour Xie Chengzeâs soul force.
Because his soul is incomplete, Xie Chengze was destined to be born with a defect. He would also suffer many hardships afterward.
Thatâs not all, he will repeat his miserable life time and time again in these unstable small worlds until his soul force is completely exhausted.
The day his soul canât bear it anymore, it will dissipate. Black Tortoise, who he did not know where he was hiding now, will get that pure soul energy easily.
Naturally, with Xie Chengzeâs firm heart, even if itâs only a soul fragment, he wonât be easily knocked down. Lu Yanzhou believed that he would never dissipate without going through thousands upon thousands of reincarnation.
However, thinking that Xie Chengze would live a miserable life over and over again, Lu Yanzhou still couldnât help feeling distressed.
The original ownerâs memories he accepted included the original ownerâs life, so he also knows what will happen to Xie Chengze reincarnation in this world.
Itâs very difficult for him to accept.
Xie Chengzeâs parents in this world are rich second-generation, and theyâre married because of business.
The two gave birth to Xie Chengze shortly after their marriage. After Xie Chengze was born, he was diagnosed with severe combined immunodeficiency, also known as SCID.
People with this disorder are born with almost to no immune system. Itâs very easy for them to die from various infections. Most donât even survive to the age of two.
Xie Chengzeâs family is rich so he received the best treatment and didnât die, but he still failed to develop his immune system.
Virus, bacteria, and even fungus could kill him. He had to live in a sterile environment.
From the sterile warehouse in the hospital to the sterile room specially built for him by the Xie family laterâ¦22 year old Xie Chengze has been living in a âcageâ. He never had freedom.
The original owner of Lu Yanzhouâs body is Xie Chengzeâs stepmotherâs nephew. He almost canât be regarded as Xie Chengzeâs cousin.
Xie Chengzeâs biological mother died of cancer when he was 5 years old. Xie Chengzeâs father married the original ownerâs aunt Lu Qiqi a year later.
Lu Qiqi had just graduated from university at that time. The Lu family is an ordinary family. She has nothing but her face so she was very flattering to Xie Chengze, the stepson. She also specially found the original owner, her nephew, to accompany Xie Chengze.
Xie Chengze had no chance to contact outsiders so he treated the original owner as his best friend. However, the original owner accompanied him just to get pocket money from Lu Qiqi.
Later when Lu Qiqi gave birth to a son, she thought she gained a firm foothold in the Xie family so she didnât take Xie Chengze seriously anymore. She doesnât want to spend money to ask the original owner to accompany Xie Chengze, so the original owner also no longer cares about Xie Chengze.
When he was in junior high school, he used the excuse of being busy with his studies, so he only saw Xie Chengze once when he came to visit the Lu family during the new year and festivals. His 4 year college was in another place so he hadnât seen Xie Chengze for 4 years.
However, after graduating from college, he entered Xieâs company through Lu Qiqi, he started to run to Xieâs house everyday like the past to deepen his feelings with Xie Chengze.
The original owner accidentally learned that Xie Chengzeâs grandfather has only one child, Xie Chengzeâs mother.
Xie Chengzeâs mother and grandmother have long since passed away. A few years ago, Xie Chengzeâs grandfather also passed awayâ¦The old man left all his property to Xie Chengze after he died.
Donât look at how Xie Chengze can only live in a sterile room, his worth is no less than his fatherâs.
He was young but already the largest shareholder of a listed company. He also owns shares in other companies, plus real estate funds, and others. Looking at these assets alone, he is a real domineering president.
The original owner tried to please Xie Chengze. In the end, he âchanged jobsâ and became Xie Chengzeâs assistant. He was responsible for managing the many assets under Xie Chengzeâs name.
Things continue from here. Although the original owner is not a good person, he has not done anything very wrong.
However, with more and more money in hand, the original owner was not satisfied with just the million yuan annual salary Xie Chengze gave to him.
Not long ago, the original owner misappropriated 30 million from Xie Chengze.
