Eternal Country

Ringing !!

On the bedside table, the alarm clock was screaming loudly, determined to achieve its goal.

"Alarm clock, is it time?"

On an ordinary Simmons mattress, a slightly weak-looking young man suddenly sat up, his face filled with a mix of fear, surprise, and incredulity.

His facial expressions changed rapidly, like a magic show.

"Not right, how did I get here? Was it all a dream? The date, yes, the date!"

The young man's face showed shock, and he quickly looked at the calendar on the alarm clock.

"September 20, 2019."

"How is this possible? Is it the 20th? Did I go back three days? Or was it all a dream?"

The young man's face turned pale, and he muttered to himself.

The young man's name was Yi Tianxing.

He was an orphan. Abandoned at a young age, he was taken in by the Tianfu Orphanage. He was abandoned at the age of five for a strange reason: mental instability. From the moment he started having memories, he told his parents that he could see ghosts, spirits that ordinary people couldn't see. As a child, he spoke freely, and his words were absurd. He sometimes said that there were ghosts around him, and on the street, he would talk to the air, saying that a bloody uncle was scaring him. No matter how you looked at it, he wasn't a normal child.

After a diagnosis at a psychiatric hospital, he was deemed to have mental problems. Even his biological parents couldn't tolerate his occasional nonsensical talk. Finally, one night, they abandoned him in front of the orphanage gate, and he became an orphan.

For the first two years, his biological parents would occasionally come to visit him in secret. But a few years later, they had a new child, a boy, and they never came to visit again.

Yi Tianxing started to understand at the age of six or seven. Seeing the fearful and disgusted looks that people gave him, he became more and more silent, solitary, and taciturn. In public, he never spoke about his ability to see ghosts again. He behaved like a normal child.

At the age of eight, a kind-hearted couple took him in and adopted him. His adoptive parents were named Zhao Haifeng and Huang Yu. They had only one daughter, seven years old, named Zhao Ziyan. For special reasons, they had never been able to have another child after Zhao Ziyan's birth. So, they adopted Yi Tianxing.

After adopting him, they were very good to Yi Tianxing, treating him like their own child. They gave him the same good food and toys. There was no discrimination.

Under the care of his adoptive parents, Yi Tianxing's previously cold heart warmed up. He considered Zhao Ziyan as his own sister, cherishing and loving her deeply. He truly regarded Zhao Haifeng and Huang Yu as his own biological parents.

He had already buried his biological parents deep in his heart, never mentioning them again.

Today, Yi Tianxing was 23 years old. He had graduated from university and was working. However, under his normal working appearance, he secretly worked as a ghost hunter and exorcist.

His eyes were naturally extraordinary. He could see the Yin and Yang. It was a pair of innate Yin-Yang eyes.

Although he had never spoken to his family or friends about his eyes since leaving the orphanage, this pair of Yin-Yang eyes had become more and more mysterious with age. Not only could they see the Yin and Yang, demons, and ghosts, but they also possessed a mystical power: the Yin-Yang chains.

For now, he could only use two Yin-Yang chains. Yi Tianxing had found that these chains were extremely powerful, especially against vengeful ghosts. Once bound, they were immediately powerless and couldn't resist. With this ability, Yi Tianxing had been known as a master in recent years. He didn't lack money at all.

If things continued like this, his life would be enjoyable and exciting.

However, the events he had experienced before had given him infinite fear.

"It's really three days ago."

Yi Tianxing turned on the TV. A news report he had seen three days ago was playing. The furniture in the house was exactly the same as he remembered, without any differences.

Ringing !!

He opened the curtains. Outside, the sirens of fire trucks were blaring continuously, and a violent fire was raging in a store.

Yi Tianxing had already experienced all this in his memories.

Everything confirmed that it was indeed three days ago. He had inexplicably gone back three days.

And these three days were a dividing line between heaven and hell.

"What were those things? Is it really the end of the world? Monsters, skeletons, zombies, undead, insects, beasts..." Yi Tianxing looked at the passersby on the street, but his gaze seemed to pierce through the river of time, seeing the future.

The scenes he had experienced three days later came back to his mind.

On the morning of September 23, 2019, Yi Tianxing was standing on the rooftop, watching the sunrise, when suddenly, at the moment the sun came out, it was directly engulfed by a strange black shadow. The sky and earth turned black. Immediately after, thunder and lightning illuminated the sky. Fissures appeared almost out of nowhere.

They were densely distributed all over the Earth.

The spectacle of these fissures tearing the sky apart was like the end of the world. Immediately after, countless monsters burst out of the fissures.

These strange demonic beasts, monsters, insects, undead, skeletons, etc., poured out of the fissures like a torrential rain. They killed everyone they met, destroying the city. In an instant, there were countless casualties, some even being torn to pieces. It was chaos everywhere. The scene was terrifying.

It was even more frightening than the end of the world.

Moreover, these fissures also spewed out all sorts of divine lights, dispersing them throughout the world.

These divine lights resembled shooting stars, enveloping unknown objects.

Yi Tianxing had even seen with his own eyes a multicolored shooting star crashing directly onto him. Even though Yi Tianxing was very agile, had practiced martial arts, and had powerful Yin-Yang eyes, he had no way to avoid such a sudden attack.

He only had time to make a dodging motion before being hit on the head by the shooting star. Before losing consciousness, he clearly saw that what had fallen was a multicolored pearl, obviously not an ordinary object. But Yi Tianxing only felt intense pain. His consciousness completely disappeared, and when he woke up, he had gone back three days.

That is, now.

These scenes were clearly etched in his mind.

"It's all true. In three days, the end of the world will come. Countless monsters will fall from the sky. Space will collapse. The sun and moon will lose their light. Human civilization will be destroyed in a short time. Countless lives will perish in the end of the world. This is not a human action, but a natural disaster. There is no way to escape. It's a great calamity of the end of the world. No one can escape."

Yi Tianxing smiled bitterly.

This shocking scene kept resonating in his mind. He knew it was almost inevitable. It wasn't caused by humans, nor was it a local disaster, but a true global natural disaster that covered the entire Earth. Once it erupted, no one could escape. These invading monsters could almost destroy everything.

In such a natural disaster, all human civilization would be severely affected.

It would be lucky if only one person in a thousand survived.

The chances of survival against such monsters were extremely low for ordinary people.

In these circumstances, even the military might not be able to resist.

Yi Tianxing took a deep breath, without hesitation, quickly took out his mobile phone, and dialed a familiar number.

"How can the wind blow so hard, my heart is agitated..."

A familiar ringtone sounded in his ears.

"Brother, why are you calling me suddenly? Do you miss me?" Shortly after, the phone was connected, and a clear and pleasant voice was heard, indicating that the person on the other end of the line was very happy.

"Ziyan."

Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Yi Tianxing's face showed a sincere smile. However, he quickly became serious and said, "What I'm going to say now, you must remember and do immediately."

"What is it, brother?" Zhao Ziyan asked with surprise.

"Don't ask too many questions. Immediately contact Mom and Dad, and come to Shanghai as quickly as possible. I'll be waiting for you at home. Don't delay on the way. We'll talk when we meet." Yi Tianxing said quickly.

Zhao Ziyan heard this and clearly felt that something was wrong. She felt that a major event was about to happen. Out of trust, she didn't ask more questions and said, "Brother, Mom and Dad are at the research institute. In a previous phone call, they told me they were conducting important research, which has entered a critical phase. Once it starts, all contact with the outside world will be cut off. This research will probably take two or three months. It's impossible to contact them now. The location of the research institute is also a military secret. I don't know where it is."

"At the research institute?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Tianxing felt helpless. The research institute where his parents worked was a military secret. Moreover, the location of the research institute was not on the surface but underground. The security was extremely strict. Even top-notch spies might not be able to enter easily. In the research institute, all communications were blocked. It was impossible to contact the outside world before a specific time.

Moreover, the duration of their stay inside the research institute couldn't be determined. But now, it was certain that there was no way to contact them within such a short period. Fortunately, the research institute was also very safe. He could wait to find and rescue them later.

"You don't need to worry about Mom and Dad for now. We'll see later. You must come back as quickly as possible. You can't exceed two days. You must come back." Yi Tianxing said with determination.

After hearing this, Zhao Ziyan, although she didn't understand, agreed to come back as quickly as possible.
