Chapter 1: The Starting Point? No, Already Standing at the Finish Line
Su Xiao waited to enter a new world, the spatial fluctuations around him gradually becoming more active. Just as he was ready, he noticed that several metal fragments in front of him had not disappeared.
These fragments were the remnants of an exploded [Space-Time Coin]. Su Xiao reached out to grab them, but the fragments suddenly gathered together, eventually forming a coin covered in cracks.
Su Xiao grabbed the [Space-Time Coin]. This coin had shattered earlier, and at the time, Su Xiao found it strange. The description of the Space-Time Coin only marked it as a 'Rare Item,' not a single-use consumable. How could a legendary-tier item break after opening just one world?
It seemed that wasn't the case. The reason the [Space-Time Coin] exploded was to release the space-time power within it. After releasing a certain amount of that power, the coin reassembled.
Su Xiao examined the coin in his hand. It looked like it could shatter at any moment, but it appeared it could still be used a few more times.
Realizing this, Su Xiao put the Space-Time Coin away. If the derivative world he was about to enter wasn't so unsuitable for him, he wouldn't have used this coin.
Using the Space-Time Coin meant there was no telling what kind of world he'd end up in. More importantly, Su Xiao knew nothing about the Primordial World, unlike derivative worlds where he had some understanding before entering.
The unknown meant danger, but it also meant opportunity and a brand-new experience. Once inside the Primordial World, no one could predict what would happen.
Space energy enveloped Su Xiao, and he instinctively touched the back of his head.
Su Xiao vanished from his spot. The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. Before him, colorful lights flickered, and his body was in a state of ultra-high-speed movement.
"So... I didn't get hit with a hammer."
Su Xiao looked around. Nearby were a bewildered Bubu Wang and Amu, who was picking his nose.
Bubu Wang was equally confused. In the past, entering any world meant getting 'hit with a hammer,' unless no teleportation was involved, like riding a spaceship.
This time, a spatial teleportation had occurred, but neither Su Xiao nor Bubu Wang had been knocked out. This treatment... was definitely abnormal.
Whoosh~
Light flickered before Su Xiao's eyes. He felt like he had been thrown from a high-speed train, his body uncontrollably plummeting downward.
Boom!
Rubble flew everywhere as Su Xiao's body crashed into a rock. His arm emerged from the debris.
"This is... where?"
Su Xiao stood up from a stone pit. He was on a yellowish-brown stone platform about 5 meters in diameter, surrounded by pitch-black darkness.
Above, pitch black. Front, back, left, right, all pitch black. Apart from the stone platform Su Xiao was on, the ground was also pitch black, as if covered by a layer of black smoke.
"So this is the Primordial World?"
Su Xiao observed his surroundings. If this was the Primordial World, then this world was way too disappointing.
[Notification: Hunter has arrived at the Secondary Starry Sky Transit Station.]
[A 'Life Lock' mark has been imprinted on the Hunter.]
...
A golden feathered wing mark appeared on the back of Su Xiao's hand. He didn't yet know the effect of this mark.
[Detected that the Hunter is entering a Primordial World in its initial state for the first time. The Hunter must pay attention to the following regulations.]
