The universe was filled with mystery, mystery, and mystery. There were many creatures in the universe who spent their entire lives trying to understand the factors that led to the existence of the universe. In the void of the universe, there were many parallel spaces, and there were also many parallel planets. They all competed against each other, never stopping, and Earth was one of them. These two same planets were separated by billions of light years, yet they never bumped into each other. The appearance of a single person no longer parallels or balances the two planets...

On the outskirts of Hongkou District, there was a simple and crude orphanage. The dean was a 60-odd year old man named Huang Hai. As his name suggested, he was as broad-minded as the sea. All the children in the orphanage called him Director Huang.

The orphanage faced the sea, its back against the Hornet's Hills. There were no other buildings around the orphanage, and it was completely alone, as if it were an orphan. The name of the orphanage was the wasp orphanage, which meant to have the children of the orphanage fly out from here like wasps to explore the vast sky outside. It would take them 2 hours to walk from the orphanage to the downtown area.

Amongst this group of children, there was a genius who lived here. He was Xia Tian, and was exactly ten years old, and it was said that when the Principal picked him up, it was on the evening of the fifteenth day of the eighth month ten years ago. On that day, he was also born less than ten hours ago, and when the Principal carried him back, other than a baby robe and a jade pendant, there was nothing else.

When Xia Tian was three years old, he had already been speaking like an adult and diligently studying. He had finished reading all the books in the orphanage that he had accumulated for decades at the age of eight, including astronomy, geography, four books and five classics, mathematics, English, language, history, politics, economics, and so on. Although the books were tattered, but fortunately, he could still read them, so Xia Tian read them with relish.

Xia Tian was already ten years old this year. With his full body and meridians, his knowledge in theory was no worse than a college student's. In order to not burden the orphanages with money, Xia Tian did not go to school. He even took on the role of a teacher and taught the siblings of the orphanages to lighten the burden on the Principal. The children of the orphanage were proud of him.

Today, the children of the orphanage were playing in the yard when a luxurious car stopped in front of the orphanage. A young couple around the age of 30 got off the car. The children of the orphanage didn't panic at all when they saw that someone had arrived. The reason was simple: some couples came to the orphanage to adopt children due to lack of fertility while others came to the orphanage to find their lost children. There were many reasons why they came to the orphanage.

At this moment, the man spoke with an arrogant tone, "Call your headmaster out to see me. I'm here to adopt a child." The children of the orphanage were startled by the sudden voice. Hearing the voice, Principal Huang came out and said, "May I ask Mister and Madam, what is your name? "What business do you have with my orphanage?" The man said, "You don't need to know our identities. Besides, you don't know either. We came here to adopt a boy. We don't need to be too old. One to three years old is fine. Is there a problem?"

It was obvious that he did not want the children here to go with this couple either, because their self-restraint was a little disrespectful. However, he still had to think about the children, since this place was too small, it would be difficult for him to accompany them. Since not every child belonged to Xia Tian, so he turned around and said to the couple, "I'll bring the two of you to take a look, there are two young boys inside.

She wanted to go back with both of them, but it was obviously impossible, because they could only want one, and also couldn't allow them to want two, because the family... she had no choice but to give up. He walked up to the dean and said, "I want this child, and we will treat him well, and will definitely not treat him badly, and will treat him like our own son, Principal Huang, please rest assured."

Dean Huang didn't say much. After all, he had a happy home for his child. He could only let the couple carry him away, but the couple still left behind a sum of money to sponsor the orphanage.

From beginning to end, Xia Tian had followed behind the Principal. He saw everything clearly, and he did not feel much loss, because such things had happened in the past, so the other children did not have much to say. The only thing he could say was that they would be missing a playmate, and the entire orphanage would not know of this, but today's young couple's arrival had caused the entire orphanage to fall into disaster …

The young couple stopped their car halfway through and the man said, "This orphanage can't exist anymore, otherwise, if the family knows about it, we would all be dead. Plus, we have been out for almost two years, after dealing with the orphanage, we have to go back to the family. Otherwise, my future family head will fall into someone else's hands."

The young beauty replied, "Yes, this orphanage really can't exist anymore. Furthermore, we can't let any of the children inside go, or else, we'll be in for it. You can ask the people from the Poison Dragon Gang in Shanghai to do this, as long as they collect the money, they'll do the job. And just in case, only they're more suitable." "Well, I know what to do. I believe the orphanage will become a thing of the past by tomorrow morning."

As night gradually approached, the entire orphanage did not know that a disaster was approaching them, but right now, they were playing in the courtyard, and as night fell, the children were tired and went back to their own rooms to sleep, while Xia Tian was so depressed that he could not fall asleep, his heart was always uneasy, but he did not know why. He always felt that something was going to happen, that he could not fall asleep even after tossing and turning in bed, so he just sat up and lit a candle, quietly staring at the books under the dim candlelight.

However, when he was feeling sleepy, he suddenly smelled a strong scent of smoke and the scent of oil. He thought to himself, it's already so late, why is there the smell of smoke? He raised his head to look out the window and saw the sky full of flames and melted flames burning around the orphanage. He was shocked. He thought it was a fire, so he shouted, "Fire, fire …"

The sound was loud, he hoped to wake the children of the orphanage, following his scream, the orphanage immediately became chaotic, it started to panic, those children were scattered everywhere, they did not have any sense of survival, Xia Tian was helpless, he had no choice but to carry the two children in his room one by one to the water tank in the middle of the courtyard, but the water in the water tank was dissatisfied, after putting the two children inside, he ran to the other rooms to rescue the children, the fire did not stop because of his actions, instead it grew bigger and bigger, soon it covered the entire orphanage.

Xia Tian had only saved five or six of them, while a few older ones ran out on their own, while the other children were crying, shouting and panicking with faces full of fear. Xia Tian was also panicking from the sudden fire, but fortunately for him, he managed to stabilize himself in time, and discovered that the dean had not come out yet. The fire in his room was the biggest, and he could not get out at all.

Xia Tian did not care that much, he squeezed himself into the water vat and soaked his clothes in water before rushing towards the Principal's room. After rushing in for a few times, he was blocked outside the door by the merciless fire, but he did not stop, and continued to rush in.

When he entered inside, his clothes were tattered, and a piece of his hair was missing. His skin was green, purple, and cooked. He quickly found the dean and found that he was already unconscious on the ground. The faint life energy was gradually decreasing, and the other children could not withstand the thick smoke and was roasting it. They had breathed out more and breathed less, and a few of them had already lost their life energy.

Xia Tian looked at everything in front of him, and tears unconsciously flowed down his face. Life was originally so fragile, and as he took care of it, he saw the Principal, who he grew up with, lying there.

Suddenly, he heard screams coming from outside. He wanted to go out and see what was going on, but the merciless fire prevented him from going out. He looked through the broken house and saw a group of men in black with knives harvesting the children's lives, so that the children didn't die in the fire, but they died in the flames. Then he saw the men in black throw the children into the fire.

After seeing all of this, Xia Tian bit his lips, persistently resisting the blazing fire. His eyes were filled with tears of anger, he wanted to live, he wanted to find the truth, he wanted to take revenge, he couldn't die an unexplained death.

With the belief to live on, his mind began to clear, and he began to think about how to live on. If he continued like this, sooner or later he would be burned to death, and the fire would soon reach his eyes. In this small house, he could read everything at a glance. There was no place for him to hide. Even if he ran out while braving the fire, he would be killed by the men in black outside.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and that was that there was a pit under the Principal's bed, it was the Principal specially collecting some valuables, because Xia Tian was a sensible child, being regarded highly by the Principal, he naturally knew about this. When he thought of this, he immediately ran over to the bedside and flipped over the heavy wooden bed, then grabbed onto the ground and used his hands to dig at the wooden board, but in this urgent situation, Xia Tian broke his fingers, and only then did he remove the cover. The pit was not big, it could only fit two children of Xia Tian's size. There were currently nothing valuable in the pit, only a few unknown items. Xia Tian jumped down without thinking, and only covered the pit when he arrived, so that the fire wouldn't rush down.
