In another world, in a remote mountain village. A teenager about 15 or 16 years old was chopping down trees while sweating. He was preparing the firewood in his house and exchanging it for a few copper coins to subsidize his family. He raised the axe again and again, each time accurately slashing at the same spot, his movements were so skillful that it was astonishing. The cocoon in his hand had long since become a thick layer of wood. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a handsome face, he would have thought that it was the old man from the forest who had been chopping firewood for many years.

The old man's legs were not too convenient, so the old man's house was propped up by the young Tian Cheng, who was only fifteen years old. In order to earn a few copper coins, he didn't know any martial skills, so Tian Cheng, who couldn't use magic, could only rely on firewood to survive. The grandfather and grandson pair lived very poor lives, only taking a few silver coins per month. The currency used in this continent was copper, silver, and gold. 1 gold coin equaled 10 silver coins, 1 silver coin equaled 10 copper coins. Even the most ordinary families costed at least a few gold coins a month.

At this moment, the youth had already taken off his patched shirt, revealing his skinny body without reservation. It didn't match his proficient technique at all, but instead gave off a feeling of malnutrition.

Looking at the large pile of trees he had cut down behind him, the youth wiped his forehead and muttered in his heart, "Today, my cutting speed is much faster, fast and useless. All these years, even though I have been desperately cutting down firewood every day, my life is still very tough, and I can only blame myself for being useless. I don't know martial arts nor know magic, so I can't earn enough money for my grandfather to live a good life. However, I believe cutting wood can also help you train your body. At eighteen years old, as long as you are able to enter a school and cultivate to a martial arts level, there will come a day when I will let grandfather live a good life. " With the goal of "letting grandpa live a good life", the young man had practiced chopping wood for many years, from being unable to lift an axe to being extremely proficient in it, improving day by day. However, he didn't know that if he were to just practice like this, even if he practiced for ten years, he wouldn't be able to pass into those academies with extremely high requirements.

At this time, it was unknown when the sky had been covered by dark clouds. The originally clear and sunny day suddenly turned into a dark night. Before the youth could even react, a violent gale blew over, followed by a torrential rain. The rolling thunder seemed like it was going to shatter the entire continent. The youth ran quickly through the forest, like a rabbit that was running for its life.

"It's home in front of us!" The youth heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the small, dilapidated mud house not far away. He quickened his pace. Just as he dashed out of the forest, a snake-like bolt of lightning struck down right at the young man. Suddenly, his long black hair stood straight up from the electricity. Smoke rose from his hair, and his eyes rolled back as he powerlessly fell down.

What he did not know was that today, a new myth had slowly stood up along with his fall.

"Where is this place?" My head hurts! " The youth that just opened his eyes immediately fainted again. Who knew how many times this had happened. It had been a month since he was struck by lightning. For the past month, he had been lying in bed with a headache that had caused him to fall into a coma again and again.

Once again, the youth woke up from his coma and slowly opened his eyes. This time, he looked much better, rubbing his still aching head, he propped himself up with difficulty and leaned against the bed, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene. This bed, the countless patches of quilts, and the somewhat damaged straw hat on the wall, the youth just did not know where he was. Why would he appear here? No, I am Tian Cheng. Grey, didn't I want to run home? "AHH!" Who the hell am I? " "With a loud cry, the youth clutched his splitting head and fell into a coma again.

It was three days later when he woke up again. When he was really prepared to feed it, the young man opened his eyes, and his eyes were a little less cloudy and clear. Looking at the old man in front of him, he felt a sense of familiarity, without any hesitation, he wrapped his arms around the old man and cried out loudly, "Grandfather, grandfather!"

At this moment, the old man that had always been strong couldn't help but shed bitter tears. During this month, the old man stayed by his grandson's side almost every day. At the end of his life, he looked even older, and that last bit of black hair had long since been replaced by silver.

The two of them hugged each other and cried for a few minutes. Finally, they looked at each other and both of them smiled. After drinking the porridge his grandfather had made, the youth's face regained some color. He casually asked a few questions before the old man walked out of the small earthen room with a smile.

He sat on the bed and started to think continuously. After understanding from the old man that he had been unconscious for a month and four days, the young man slowly started to organize the memories in his head, and very quickly, he realised that he was no longer simply Doctor Tian Cheng or Tian Cheng; Grey had become Grey, lightning had brought Tian Cheng from Earth here, and had successfully merged with him. Now that his soul had merged with Grey's, he was Doctor Tian Cheng, and also Tian Cheng's; Grey was neither Tian Cheng nor's.

The youth jumped off the bed, no longer thinking about the question that he could never understand. Looking at the sun in the distance, he said, "Since fate has arranged it like this, from today onwards, I will be a brand-new me, a brand-new Tian Cheng."

With the help of a rod, Tian Cheng slowly walked out of the house. The sunlight shone all over his body, and after taking a few breaths of fresh air, a refreshing feeling quickly flowed through his body, stimulating all the cells in his body. He threw away the wooden stick in his hand, and started to fully enjoy the warm sunlight. After a long while, Tian Cheng finally snapped out of his stupor, and used his hand to fiddle around with the plants in front of him. The insects were all busy, and everything seemed exceptionally clear in Tian Cheng's eyes.

"Hmm?" Tian Cheng gave a light hum, "When did my own vision become so good?" He then looked carefully at the little things, and realized that he could even clearly see the lines on their bodies. Tian Cheng was frightened by his own eyes, how was this getting better, it was simply abnormal. Then, Tian Cheng checked the changes in his other senses one after another. Without exception, his hearing, sense of smell, sense of taste, and sense of touch all had reached an unbelievable level.

Tian Cheng stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to come up with an answer. Finally, he said: "Could it be that being struck by lightning has this benefit? Un, probably. He turned around, picked up the stick, and returned to the small mud hut. After all, he was still too weak right now.

Actually, Tian Cheng had thought wrongly this time. The reason he was like this was because his soul had been fused together by two souls, and a mutation had already appeared during the process of fusion. This was also the reason why he had been in a coma for over a month. Right now, his soul had already reached an unbelievable level of strength, and would continue to increase as his own strength increased. And because of this, his life was destined to be extraordinary.
