Chapter 2 - A New Identity

A shining transparent white orb sparkling with golden energy flew out from a black hole in the universe towards the direction of the planet Earth at an incredible speed. It keep going until it reached Earth and then it went in a direction of an isolated mountain forest with wild animals roaming around with thunderous roars.

Two tiny lifeforms with humanly figure shaped were seen on the ground with a fallen broken tree from afar. The white orb entered one of the two tiny lifeforms. Once it entered. The life form began to shine with a golden energy surrounding its body and shot out a fierce golden light into the sky. The sky began to darken and flashes of lightning could be seen. The lightning struck down to the forest killing various wild animals instantly. Their corpses were charred black and a filthy stank could be smelled miles away.

Far away from the forest were 5 black clothed humans looking in the direction of the previous location they were at and then up in the sky.

One of them shivered with goosebumps and said with a frightening expression: "What is happening over there? Luckily, we are out of the forest or else... I can't imagine what would have happened to us, if we had stayed there one moment longer."

Another one said: "Let's get out of here quick and far away from this damnable place." Everyone agreed and they left hastily not daring to stay a minute longer.

The fierce lightning in the sky lasted for 10 minutes. During the 10 minutes, it had cause a lot of destruction in the forest. Half of the forest laid with animal corpses with foul stank and trees were destroyed.

Once the lightning slowly began to stop and the sky began to clear. The life form whose the white orb entered began to emit faint movement, then shaking violently and stopped. A while later the white orb then circulated in the life form's body, it began to gradually heal and recover the damages made to the life form's body.

"Ouch, why the hell is my body hurting so much and feeling so heavy? I have trouble opening even my own eyes, but wait. My body hurts? The indication of pain means I'm still alive? The last thing I remember was darkness after my consciousness faded away, when I was pursued and killed by immortal masters. All I can do now is to stay calm and focusing my will power to try opening my eyes." The white orb was actually a soul spirit and entered the young teen's body. The soul spirit slowly tried to open the container's eyes and the scene in front of the soul spirit left it flabbergasted.

"This is a head? No, wait. It's a head blocking my view or rather a body is on top of me. Let me push the body aside to get a better view of the surroundings." With a bit of effort the body was pushed aside. The soul spirit took in the view and was silent for a period of time.

"This is a forest and it's an open landscape, where trees are broken and animals corpses are scattered everywhere. What the hell happened here? Where are the immortal masters? So am I really alive? Since I was in a forest, before I lost consciousness."

Suddenly a powerful flood of memories surged in the soul spirit's mind and he fainted on the spot. After 1 day passed, the soul spirit regained consciousness and took in the memories.

"Fuck, what a headache! I thought, my brain would have been exploded, but it made me make sense of the situation, that I am in. This is not the immortal world, but an entirely different realm. The realm I am in is called Earth. I have never heard of this Planet Earth in the immortal world before, but the world has infinetly unknown variables, so there's many wonderful and strange things, I don't have knowledge about. I just don't know if this world is connected to the immortal world, but I will figure it out in the future. I actually died and got reborn into a youngster. Hahaha, I died in a forest and regain life in a forest. What irony, the wheel of life is. Like the old sayings: From Soil You Gain Life and From Soil You Return To Life. This youngster's name is Huangdi Long. The same as mine. He is 15 years old this year and was framed and exiled by his own family 10 years ago driven out to live in this isolated mountain forest with his guardian send by his mother to take care of him, but this is also fine. I lost my family in my past life and abandonded by my family in this life. I prefer to live by my own power and not relying on too much help from others. From today onwards, I will start from zero as everything starts from zero, without zero there's no beginning and eventually one day, I will make progress and obtain what I desire."

Huangdi Long propped himself up and went towards the old man with the black uniform and said: "Old man, I am not the Huangdi Long, you know, but I am also the Huangdi Long, you know. He is me and I am also him. For his sake, I am paying you my respects and giving you a temporary burial in this forest. Right now, I do not have the capability to send you to your hometown to give a proper burial, but I promise once I do have the abilities, I will bring you back and for those black assassins, I will make them pay a heavy price."

After Huangdi Long gave Hei Zhifu a burial with a broken tree stump replaced as a gravestone. What was carved on the tree stump was letters written:

"Hei Zhifu, A True Man by Huangdi Long."

Huangdi Long was suddenly feeling nauseated and pinched his nose and said: "What is this bad smell?!" Then he took a look in the surrounding and finally understood where the smell was from. He was preoccupied by his thoughts and did not pay attention to the smell. Huangdi Long, then picked a random direction and hurried descended the mountain forest.
