Since Xie Feng was young and he could remember, he never got sick. While other kids cried because they felt sick or didn’t go to school because they had a fever, Xie Feng always enjoyed good health.
Not only did he never get sick, but his physical body was also so strong at such a young age that he was afraid of hurting other kids of his age. That was why when Xie Feng was bullied because of his closeness to the most beautiful girl in school, he never said anything about it; because he knew that if he fought back, then other young kids would suffer and he might even be expelled from the orphanage. If Xie Feng was expelled from that place, where could he, who had no family at all, go?
Therefore, he suffered. Until one day, Shen Xinya came up with the idea to bully some people older than him, so that the younger kids would stop bothering him. Heeding her, Xie Feng did so and indeed, he finally stopped being bullied by everyone.
Time passed, Shen Xinya was adopted, and not long after, Xie Feng was adopted as well. Although Xie Feng’s physique was as powerful as a bear and as tough as an elephant’s pelt, except for that, he was no different from a normal person. However, two years ago, everything changed completely.
Xie Feng always had doubts. He always wondered what was that green light that fell from the sky and gave him the power to control the wind. But even now he had no answers and it was likely that he would have to wait a long time for that and many other questions to be answered.
Although Xie Feng had lost the memory of his early years of life for some reason unknown to him, there was always something inside his head. Although he forgot his mother and father who were part of his blood, he never forgot a strange mantra. When Xie Feng had the opportunity to read light novels, he discovered that the strange mantra that was engraved in his mind was a kind of cultivation technique. Although it was stupid, Xie Feng felt that he should take it seriously and, precisely because of that, he always woke up at 6 o’clock in the morning, an hour earlier than usual, just to realize the actions that the mantra dictated.
Unfortunately, even after many years, nothing happened.
However, a few days ago, when Xie Feng sat on the Calamity Throne, he felt for first time a noticeable difference in his body. The Calamity Throne didn’t do anything too strange, in fact, for Xie Feng it was something normal since he had been doing that for years… What the Calamity Throne actually did was to circulate the Chaos Energy that resides inside his body according to the mantra that Xie Feng has engraved in his memory!
Red, white, black, brown, blue, green, purple; these were the colors that surrounded a kind of opaque sphere that recirculated inside Xie Feng’s body. These seven colors formed a kind of cloud that, according to Xie Feng could understand, the function of this cloud was to feed the opaque sphere that surrounded it.
After Xie Feng obtained the Gods Fall class in Samsara Online, that cloud finally had a change. The green color lit up for the first time and its brightness surpassed the other six colors by a wide margin. That same green color made the opaque sphere surrounded by the color cloud light up a bit and flickered as if it was announcing to the world its awakening.
As Xie Feng wandered through the vast outer space, being taken to an unknown place by unknown forces and drifted further and further away from his home and the people he loved, in a semi-conscious condition, what he did was to circulate that strange mantra once again. But unlike before, the opaque sphere that was always silent, finally showed life.
The opaque sphere that was being surrounded by the seven-colored cloud began to radiate brightly, so brightly that the light coming from what seemed to be Xie Feng’s very soul began to illuminate his own body.
Beginning with his head, shoulders, arms, hands, torso, legs, feet, Xie Feng’s entire body was like a beautiful green and shining jade jewel. However, that was not all.
The green light became so bright that it began to go beyond Xie Feng’s body. It illuminated all his surroundings, expanding further and further. At one point, the green light had become so bright that its brightness did not lose in the slightest to that of the sun!

-Planet Earth.
Although in most of the countries of the Asian continent the sky was completely dark with no sign of sunlight, the night was especially attractive to those looking for fun; especially to teenagers or young adults.
A group of young university students was laughing and chatting with each other as they made their way to a nearby bar. For them, who were still young and full of energy, going a day without sleep was no problem.
If they didn’t enjoy their youth while they could, when would they? That was what they all thought.
As they chatted about the most common topic among young men, women, one of the college students said with a chuckle:
“Hey, is it me or is the sky getting lighter?”
One of his friends, the taller one, couldn’t help but give him a little slap on the back as he reprimanded:
“Man don’t go around saying those things. If the girls hear you, they’ll treat us like a bunch of crazies.”
“Hahaha and we haven’t even had a drink yet!”
His friends laughed one by one.
In the end, the young college student shook his head and laughed too in amusement about the situation.
However, for every second that passed, the group of college students noticed that the sky was actually getting brighter and brighter.
“What’s this all about? The sky is really lighting up?” Another student looked around and only after noticing that all his friends and the other people were looking up at the sky did he sigh in relief that he was not going crazy.
“What’s going on? It’s almost 2 o’clock in the morning!” Another young man shouted in alarm.

-China, Beijing.
*Buzz!* … *Buzz!*
In the Gu Family residence, the lights in the bedrooms were off and everyone was enjoying a good night’s sleep. However, while Gu Pojun and his wife were sleeping comfortably, a cell phone next to Gu Pojun’s bedside table began to buzz.
Sleepy as he was, Gu Pojun reached out his hand to pick up the call. This was not the first time something like this had happened, but it was strange. As the highest authority, Gu Pojun together with the other four main families made the decision on the actions and course China would take. However, except for national danger or special situations, no one would disturb him in the middle of the night. After all, for that there are different special departments protecting the country.
“Yes?”
“Hey old Gu, wake up and look out the window.”
A powerful voice brimming with confidence sounded on the other end of the phone.
Gu Pojun, still sleepy, was confused. But after looking at the caller ID he understood; the person calling him was actually Nangong Wentian, the current leader of the Nangong Family!
Confused, Gu Pojun walked to the window and raised the blinds that were completely down. However, he soon pulled up the blinds.
What greeted Gu Pojun was a light as bright as the sun itself and for a moment his eyes were blinded by the sudden change from darkness to illumination.
“Shit! What is this!?” Gu Pojun couldn’t help but curse aloud as he rubbed his eyes.
“I have no idea what’s going on. Just a few minutes ago the sky started to light up slowly and look, now everything turned green!” Nangong Wentian’s serious voice continued, “Do you think we should call old Yang, Yao, and that old woman surnamed Mu?”
Gu Pojun frowned in contemplation as he cursed to himself: ‘This brat just arrived a few hours ago in Beijing and already strange things are happening here!’

-Outer Space.
“I see… That’s how it was all this time…”
Still wandering in space, Xie Feng’s lips moved as if he was talking to himself.
(A/N: Ignoring for a moment that sound doesn’t travel in outer space, thanks!)
Xie Feng finally realized that all this time he was doing everything wrong. He finally understood what the function of his power was and now, he could finally use it at will.
Xie Feng’s eyes suddenly opened and, instead of blue, they were now golden!
“I am the wind itself!”
