“Faster!” Theand brayed
Ji Ning followed the rest of the regiment

Ti tihosts He didn’t dare to say anything If he spoke, he ht be whipped by thattiry or thirsty
One day, after a long, long period of dazed walking
“Ji Ning!” A thunderous sound seehosts all raised their heads to stare at the sky Ji Ning stared at the sky as well Froan to roll over, and atop that cloud was an enorht
This enormous minotaur God was over a hundred thousand meters tall He was like a massive mountain The black cloud he was on quickly flew over from the horizon
“Ji Ning” Atop the massive black cloud, theout twin lofty golden rays of light, covering the entire area below and illu, who stood there like an idiot
The glowing light fro’s body, and Ji Ning disappeared frohosts Those ordinaryto hosts were in a state of shock Only a long time later did they recover
Within the boundless black clouds, the titanic minotaur God stood
He stretched out his hand, and on top of his pal
Ji Ning was totally shocked
God
An enor in front of hi on its palm?
“Ji Ning” The minotaur God peered down at the tiny little speck in his hands
“I have come at the orders of the Lord of Cui Palace to come receive you” The minotaur God spoke to the tiny speck in his hands, and then with a wave of his hands, Ji Ning was placed into an empty void area The minotaur God then rose his black cloud and quickly disappeared into the horizon
In the Fengdu City of the Ghost World
Within a quiet study, there was a bookshelf and a table next to it A blue robed h a book
Ji Ning stood there in front of him
“Why does the Lord of Cui Palace wish to seeHe had no idea who this Lord of Cui Palace was and had never met him He was just an ordinary person How could he possibly know any Iround, then he wouldn’t have been tormented by his illness his entire life So why had that Lord of Cui Palace sent thehim here?
“He su sneaked a glance around the room
The study was very si
“That’s…” Ji Ning looked at it carefully This was the painting of a girl Her feathered clothes were filled with natural grace, and the smatic than those on the Buddhas in the te beca The wo, in ter
“Oh?” The blue robedat the painting in surprise “I didn’t expect that he would have such powers of perception”
“Wake up!” The blue robed man shouted quietly
The world of vacant pondering which Ji Ning had been in just noas totally shattered, and he was totally woken up Only now did he remember that he was in the Lord of Cui Palace’s place
The Lord of Cui Palace had closed his book and was looking at hied This was because from his current position, he could see the words within the hands of the Lord of Cui Palace: “Book of Life and Death”
The Lord of Cui Palace was reading the Book of Life and Death?
“I’ve just been reading about your life” The Lord of Cui Palace s
Ji Ning was startled
His life?
His previous life appeared in hisresearcher in a bioscience prograh His reat since he had been born into such a family, but unfortunately, he suffered from constant diseases The doctors all said that it would be a miracle if he would live to fifteen or sixteen
Therefore, he couldn’t go to school, nor could he play around with his peers Every day, just by walking for half an hour, he would feel exhausted His weak body, constantly tormented by illness, caused his childhood to be very lonely He had heard long ago in the hospital that others were discussing how he should die in his teens This sort of terrifying feeling of knowing your death was co him to be even more of a loner
Fortunately!
Fortunately, he had his books and the internet
The books and the internet gave him a ‘ a twisted personality Through books and the internet, he ravenously acquired knowledge about the world, and his heart slowly grew cal him more rational in the way he viewed the world
He knew that in the world, there were children ere even worse off than hih to eat
He was searching for his value in life He couldn’t just stay here and wait to die, right? While he was alive, he had to do so And thus, he had asked for a hundred thousand Chinese dollars froinally had wanted to , but unexpectedly, he really had incredible achievements
After many years, he had earned an enormous fortune
But despite that, his illness constantly reer As his parents didn’t need hi the , he handed out all of his hout the country
“I can’t change e the destiny of those countless poor, sick children!”
This was the deepest desire in Ji Ning’s heart!
After handing out all of hisa walk in the streets outside the hospital with his parents, he had simply died
“Your life was bitter since you were born” The Lord of Cui Palace said softly “But bitterness didn’t twist you Instead, it spurred you on to astonishi+ng accoe suave it all away!”
“Eighteen years of age Dead” The Lord of Cui Palace sighed “For one to be willing to sacrifice one’s self to rescue a stranger is quite rare”
