live in the village

In a remote village far from the great cities, life proceeded peacefully. The villagers survived through farming, hunting, and trading in a small market held every week. The village was surrounded by vast green forests, with a clear river flowing along its edge.

In a simple cottage on the outskirts of the village, two men had just arrived.

The first was a handsome man with long white hair and golden eyes that radiated an extraordinary sense of tranquility. His simple clothing could not hide the noble aura inherent within him.

The second was a tall, imposing man with sharp eyes and a serious expression.

The Celestial God—now calling himself Feng Tian—took a deep breath of the fresh air. "Haaah... It's been so long since I've felt the air of the mortal world. Far better than the heavens filled with incense smoke."

Beside him, Asura—now introducing himself as Hei Wu—stood on alert. His eyes scanned the village, as if searching for potential threats.

"My Lord... Are you certain you wish to stay here?" Hei Wu asked in a deep voice. "This village is very simple... there's nothing special about it."

Feng Tian chuckled. "That's exactly what I want. I wish for a life without disturbances. I want to try farming, fishing, and maybe... cooking?"

Hei Wu nearly choked. "My Lord... You want to cook?"

"Of course. I'm curious about what it's like to make my own food."

Hei Wu didn't know how to respond. To him, his lord was the supreme existence who could create entire worlds with a single thought. And now, his lord wanted to live as a commoner and learn to cook?

Still, he did not object. If this was his lord's wish, then his duty was simply to follow and protect.

At the same time, the villagers began to take notice of their arrival. An elderly man with a white beard approached. He was Village Chief Liu, the oldest and most respected person in the village.

"You're newcomers?" he asked kindly. "We rarely see outsiders in our little village."

Feng Tian smiled. "Yes, we wish to live here for a while."

Village Chief Liu nodded. "Our village is simple, but peaceful. If you don't mind an ordinary life, you're welcome to stay."

Feng Tian's smile grew wider. This was exactly what he was looking for.

However, what he didn't realize was that his peace would not last long.

Unknowingly, just by his mere presence, the world was bound to change. Enemies would come, gods would search for him, and powerful cultivators would tremble before him...

Yet, all Feng Tian wanted was to try farming and enjoy life.
