In the early summer of 2020, the weather was fairly cool. On the roof of St. Paul Middle School of Riverdale City, Oak Province. A long-haired young man wearing a black costume looked at the empty playground below and said nothing.
He smiled, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
As the soft rays of the setting sun shone on Steven's face, he raised his head and shouted, "Earth, I'm back!"
"I have spent 8,000 years in the Ereon Continent, and this earth has only spent 8 years. Time really is the most difficult to penetrate!" Steven looked at the buildings around him, with endless sighs in his heart.
8 years ago, this place was still an unknown and underdeveloped small town , but now it has become a key economic development zone, with skyscrapers towering all over the middle school.
"Sister, I'm back!" Steven murmured, disappearing on the rooftop.
“Here it is…” Steven suddenly froze. Looking at the environment in front of him.
Steven is standing at the door of a large shopping mall, but looking at the appearance of this high-rise building, the small broken house that Steven used to live before is nowhere to be found.
"Sister" Steven looked sad and blamed himself.
He disappeared, leaving his sister in this world 8 years ago. At that time, Steven and his sister depended on each other. Survival was extremely difficult. Steven really couldn't imagine how his younger sister would live after losing a brother.
But no one knows that he has crossed into a vast and boundless world where the strong are respected, and everything speaks by strength!
The strong can overwhelm the world and can destroy the earth with a flick of finger, hence the lives of the weak are like weeds.
Before Steven was a weak person and was humiliated by everyone. However, Steven relied on his knowledge of the earth to accumulate his own strength bit by bit, constantly becoming stronger, and fighting all enemies. After 3,000 years of cultivation, he reached the top of the throne, and after 7,000 years of cultivation, he became the supreme of that world, where all the living beings are under the control of Steven.
Steven's name has become a taboo in that world and all living beings bowed before him. He turned from a useless person to a peerless master, but what was ushered in him was nothing but boundless emptiness, loneliness, and his lonely sister on the earth kept wandering in his mind.
After thousands of years, he finally created a masterpiece of time and space!
Steven used this artifact to open the void of another world. Under the gaze of countless creatures in the other world, he rushed into the crack without hesitation.
Through this crack, he came back to Earth.
Although Steven has lived for more than 8,000 years, he looks like a young man with a superb cultivation base.
"8 years ago I left my sister, she was only 12 years old. I don't know how my sister can survive?" Steven muttered to himself looking at the mall.
"When I came back I encountered a space storm, I was seriously injured, and my strength was extremely low, or else I would directly use the Celestial Soul secret method to turn over the earth and find my sister easily, why am I so helpless?" he felt depressed and the spiritual power in his body began to agitate, and the clear sky suddenly became gloomy.
"Now, the only way is to restore my strength as soon as possible!" Steven quickly calmed down, then the spiritual power in his body gradually calmed down, and the sky became clear again.
At this moment, a yellow convertible Porsche drove past Steven and slowly fell back. A man with a handsome face turned his head, he took off his sunglasses and shouted at Steven in astonishment: "Are you Steven Grey?"
Steven heard someone shouting his name and stared at the handsome man inside the car, and said in astonishment: "Martin Smith?"
"It's really you, I thought I saw the wrong person!" Martin leaned his hand on the door of the car and leaned back slightly, staggering the distance just enough for Steven to see the person sitting in the co-pilot.
It was a very beautiful woman who just took off her sunglasses and her beautiful eyes were also shocked.
"Is that Michelle Kent!"
"It's been a long time." Michelle's tone fluctuates a bit. After she looked at Steven, she quickly turned her head away, for fear of Martin's misunderstanding.
8 years later, Martin and Michelle seem to have matured a lot. They are both classmates of Steven. When they first entered school, Steven and Michelle were very close, and they were also very ambiguous. In many cases, they are considered by their classmates as a pair.
Martin was originally a rich second-generation in the county town. Because he liked Michelle, he often found fault with Steven, and even quietly hired a few punks to mess with him. But at that time Michelle seemed to be very indifferent to Martin.
But who would have thought that two people who seemed impossible to be together at the beginning are now sitting in the same car?
It can only be said that time can change a person.
"8 years ago, the day before the college entrance examination, you suddenly disappeared and everyone couldn't find you. Some people even said that you died accidentally. I didn't expect to see you here today!" Martin looked at Steven then suddenly laughed, "Why do you dress like this? Are you playing cosplay? Why are you carrying a sword behind you?"
Steven smiled and did not explain. "Why are you here?" Steven asked.
Martin said. "The mall in front of you is owned by my family. I just come and have a look."
Steven frown: "This mall is actually opened by your family?"
Martin smiled and replied: "At the time when the real estate outbreak in the country ushered in, our family just seized the opportunity!"
Martin put his hand on Michelle's shoulder and looked at Steven smiling as if the winner was looking at the loser.
Steven didn't care about Martin's attitude, but continued to ask: "You said that this mall belongs to your family, then you must know where my sister has gone? After all, my home is here."
"I don't know where your sister has gone!" Martin looked at Steven's indifferent appearance. He shook his head and said, "But I heard that she was taken away by a wealthy family."
Martin seemed to think of something and then he reached out and fumbled in the car, soon he took out a bundle of money and handed it to Steven, and said with a slight pride: "When your place was demolished, you couldn’t be found and your sister is not there also, so you didn’t get the demolition money from us, these are my kind words."
Although Martin said so, his face was mocking. The money in his hand was like giving alms to a beggar.
Steven looked at the money in Martin's hand, and then rolled his eyes to Michelle. Michelle quickly turned her head over, as if telling Martin that she had nothing to do with Steven anymore.
Martin was very satisfied with Michelle's performance, and looked at Steven who was motionless, "Don’t tell me you don't want this money?"
Michelle, who was holding Martin's arms, looked at Steven and said. "Steven, you need to be realistic. You can't do anything without money. Just take the money and do a little business."
"Why, is this not enough?" Martin smiled, "Well, I will give you 10,000 more!" Martin pretended to take out another bundle of money from the car.
Looking at the money in Martin's hand, Steven didn't feel the humiliation from him. Instead, he felt a little funny for him. This feeling was like a monkey holding a pile of money and trying to give it to him.
Why not? Just take the money.
"Thanks, I happen to be short of money." Steven smiled, generously accepted the two stacks of money in Martin's hands, and put them into his arms.
Martin and Michelle were stunned by Steven's action. Then Martin burst out laughing: "Steven, you know what, I’m looking for a driver here, do you want to come, I’m just helping an old classmate."
"It’s okay, I’m good." Steven shook his head.
"Oh okay, then I won't force you. I have something to do so I will leave first!" Martin looked at the Rolex on his wrist and put on his sunglasses.
"By the way, five days later, at the Emerald Hotel, our class will hold a reunion. Many students have agreed to go and the class teacher will also come. Are you coming too?"
Steven didn't care, he nodded and replied, "I will go if I have time."
"See you then." Martin grinned, but because of the shade of the sunglasses, Steven couldn't see his mocking eyes.
"see you then."
After saying goodbye to them, Steven turned and left.
Looking at the figure of Steven away, Martin said with disdain: "It's a shame that I thought of him as a great enemy, but now it's such a downturn."
Michelle didn't look at Steven's back and said. "Well, he is so hopeless, and it's not worth your attention anymore, let's go."
"That's right." Martin smiled, and he stepped on the accelerator.
Looking at the car moving away, Steven shook his head, "I wanted to give them a little benefit. Now it seems that they don't need it."
