Chapter 3

Especially the father Owen Brooks, who, as the city lord, had quite a temper. He flung his sleeve and snorted coldly: “That little girl is pretty bold, daring to come here now. Is she trying to show off her power or watch a good show? Someone, drive them all out for me.”

But Emily Carter, standing to the side, hurriedly tugged her husband’s hand to stop him, then looked at her son, who had just woken up on the bed, and cautiously said, “Chen’er, look, do you want to see Olivia Harris...”

Although, as Ethan Brooks’s mother, she was also angry at what Olivia Harris had done, in the end, Olivia Harris was a knot in her son’s heart. He had liked her for such a long time; feelings couldn’t just change overnight. As a mother, she had to consider her son’s feelings.

Lying on the bed, Ethan Brooks was still a bit weak, but he nodded and said, “Let’s see her. I do want to meet her.”

Actually, Ethan Brooks just wanted to see this Olivia Harris, nothing more. Maybe he even owed her some thanks for her indirect help.

But in his parents’ ears, it sounded different. They thought Ethan Brooks was still hung up on Olivia Harris, and they sighed helplessly in silence.

Emily Carter could only say, “If Chen’er wants to see her, then let him. But don’t get too emotional. The doctor said you’re still very weak, and getting too worked up isn’t good for your health.”

Ethan Brooks responded, “Mother, don’t worry, I won’t get emotional.”

Let’s hope so, the two elders could only sigh.

The lady said, “Huan’er, the young master is still weak. Let him have some porridge first to regain his strength, then help him to the main hall. Chen’er, come by yourself in a bit. Your father and I will go ahead and put the Harris family in their place.”

With that, the two of them left directly, leaving Ethan Brooks feeling helpless, but also warmed by a feeling he’d never had before—the love of parents, something he’d never experienced in his previous life, a love different from that for his sister.

While eating, Ethan Brooks was also sorting through the memories of this life.

The merging of memories from two lifetimes made him realize that in this life, he had been reborn in a land he’d never heard of before—the Tiandu Continent.

The Tiandu Continent was vast and boundless, with hundreds of countries of all sizes. Among them, three great empires dominated the continent, followed by 108 medium-sized kingdoms, and then hundreds of smaller vassal states, occupying nearly half of the continent’s vast territory.

The remaining half was occupied by endless wild forests, home to countless terrifying monsters that shared the continent with humans. Even human powers dared not provoke the monster clans lightly.

Even so, the Tiandu Continent was so vast and boundless that an ordinary person couldn’t cross it in ten lifetimes, showing just how immense it was.

The The Brooks Family where Ethan Brooks belonged was in the Xiafeng Kingdom, one of the 108 kingdoms, located in the great northwest region of the continent. Among the medium-sized kingdoms, it ranked in the lower middle, but its territory still stretched for ten thousand miles east to west.

The The Brooks Family was situated in the main city of a marquisate near the border of Xiafeng Kingdom, called Luofeng City.

In Luofeng City, there were three great families dividing the city among themselves. The most powerful was the The Brooks Family, the city lord’s family, a noble clan ennobled by the royal family for generations, governing all of Luofeng City, almost like regional governors.

Next were the The Harris Family and The Carter Family, also great families in Luofeng City. Though not as powerful as the The Brooks Family, they were still top-tier families, and all the lesser powers had to bow to them and act according to their wishes.

It’s worth mentioning that in this world, martial cultivation was revered. Through cultivation, one could continuously grow stronger and gain extraordinary power.

Currently, the four main realms known to the world were Houtian, Xiantian, Martial God, and Celestial God.

Each realm was divided into nine levels.

Among them, Martial God and Celestial God were not precise cultivation realms—ordinary people didn’t even know their names. Once someone reached these realms, they could fly and travel through the earth, no different from the legendary gods, so they were called Martial God and Celestial God.

Of course, the so-called Celestial God was not the limit. Above Celestial God, there were even stronger beings. But for the common people of the Tiandu Continent, Celestial God was already the highest realm they could imagine.

Once someone truly began cultivating, after diligent practice and reaching the Houtian realm, they could possess the strength of a hundred catties, and their power would continue to grow as their realm increased.

The higher the realm, the stronger the power. There were even those who could wield the strength of ten thousand or a hundred thousand catties.

Some truly powerful figures in the world could even move mountains and seas, possessing divine abilities far above ordinary people. Even striking down stars from beyond the heavens was not impossible.

It was said that there were supreme beings of unparalleled power who could, in an instant, level an ancient kingdom and erase it from the world. Such feats were truly awe-inspiring.

Of course, these were all legends. Not to mention a single Xiafeng Kingdom—even in the vast Tiandu Continent, such supreme beings had never appeared throughout history. These stories were recorded in ancient texts, said to be about beings from beyond the world.
