Time rewinds.
Central Region.
Great White Mountain Range.
Deep in the mountains, there was a place scorched by black fire.
All around, the trees had been burned away by the black flames!
Right in the middle of that charred patch of ground, sat a big, pitch-black boulder!
Suddenly.
A man in white robes walked up to the boulder, stroked his chin, and said, "Huh? This is exactly where the system pointed me… but it's just a rock?"
That man was none other than Lu Chang'sheng.
Just as Lu Chang'sheng finished speaking,
An arm burst out of the giant rock with a sudden crack!
Cracks began to spider all over the surface of the black stone!
Seeing this, Lu Chang'sheng froze. "Wait… don't tell me it's a monkey?"
He walked closer, feeling the life force inside—wildly strong.
Lu Chang'sheng could even faintly sense, inside the black boulder,
The sound of a heartbeat!
Thump...
Thump.
Thump!
As the cracks in the black stone widened, the heartbeat grew louder and louder.
