Qi Tongwei is reborn, and he changes his fate by striking the bell

Chapter 178 God damn He Tianba

"Chun'er, are you okay?" The mother opened her eyes weakly and saw that Qi Tongwei was safe and sound. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Damn He Tianba, he beat you like this! Mom, I'm so sorry..."

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry." Qi Tongwei suppressed the pain in his heart and comforted her softly, "I have already taught He Tianba a lesson, and he will never dare to bully us again."

"Really?" A glimmer of hope flashed across the mother's eyes, but soon faded away, "Chun'er, we are all honest farmers, why did you bother to provoke him..."

"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on." Qi Tongwei knew that it was useless to explain all this to his mother now. Only by finding out the truth about this world as soon as possible could he truly protect his mother.

After he settled his mother down, he began to rummage through the drawers in the house, looking for any clues that might be related to this world.

"Huh? What is this?" Qi Tongwei took out a rusty iron box from under the bed. When he opened it, he found a yellowed ancient book inside.

The ancient book has no cover and the paper is badly damaged, but the text on it is clearly visible.

"In the first year of Tianqi, I received guidance from an immortal in my dream and founded..."

The text ends here, and the rest seems to be unrecognizable due to its age.

"The first year of Tianqi? Guidance from an immortal?" Qi Tongwei's heart moved. Could it be that this ancient book records the secret about the origin of this world?

He held his breath and continued to flip through the pages, but the next page struck him like a bolt of lightning.

There was a strange pattern drawn on the yellowed paper: a man in modern clothes, connected by countless thin lines, and at the other end of the lines was a huge... game controller!

Qi Tongwei stared blankly at the ancient book in his hand, the absurd picture lingering in his mind. A man in modern clothes, controlled by countless strings, like a puppet... and the one controlling his fate was actually a game controller!

"This is impossible, there must be something wrong..." Qi Tongwei shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of this terrible thought from his mind.

But the picture was engraved deeply in his mind like a brand and could not be erased.

"System, what is going on?" Qi Tongwei lowered his voice, his heart filled with anger and anxiety.

The system remained silent, as if it had never existed.

Qi Tongwei was so angry that his teeth itched. This broken system failed at the critical moment! He read the ancient book over and over again. Apart from the strange picture and the first few lines of vague records, there was no other valuable information.

"The first year of Tianqi... the guidance of the immortal..." Qi Tongwei chewed on these words again and again, and suddenly a bold guess popped up in his mind: "Could it be that this world is really a game created by the 'immortal'? And I am just a controlled game character?"

The idea was so absurd that even he himself found it hard to believe.

But if this is not the case, how can we explain all this?

He traveled to this strange world where force is respected, and gained power beyond everything at the beginning, but he always felt like he was acting, and everything was so unreal...

"Could this be the truth behind my coming to this world?" Qi Tongwei murmured to himself, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

If this world is really a game, then what is the meaning of everything he does?

His mother, his friends, his enemies...are they all just NPCs in the game, a group of soulless codes?

"No, it's impossible!" Qi Tongwei shook his head violently. He couldn't accept this fact.

Just then, there was a sudden hurried knock on the door.

"Brother Dachun, are you home?" A crisp voice sounded outside the door.

She is the village chief’s daughter, He Xiaoyu.

Qi Tongwei quickly hid the ancient book, got up and opened the door.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

He Xiaoyu's pretty face was slightly red, and she was holding a basket in her hand, which was filled with a few red fruits.

"I...my father asked me to bring you some fruit. He said you helped our family drive away the wild boar yesterday and wanted to thank you very much..." He Xiaoyu lowered his head, his voice as soft as a mosquito.

Qi Tongwei looked at the shy girl in front of him and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Then please thank the village chief for his kindness on my behalf." Qi Tongwei took the basket and said with a smile.

"Then...then I'll go back first..." Seeing that the mission was completed, He Xiaoyu turned around and wanted to slip away.

"Wait..." Qi Tongwei called her.

"What's wrong, Brother Dachun?" He Xiaoyu looked back in confusion.

Qi Tongwei looked at her, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Xiaoyu, have you ever thought that the world we live in may be fake?"

He Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what he meant: "Brother Dachun, what are you talking about?"

"I mean..." Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and was about to tell her his guess, but suddenly he felt a strong breath approaching this side quickly...

"Not good!" Qi Tongwei's face changed and he pulled He Xiaoyu into the house.

Almost at the same time, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky and enveloped the entire village...

Qi Tongwei's face turned pale, he was very familiar with this aura, it was this person, the leader of the Demon Sect who had tried to kill him several times before - the Bloody Evil Old Man!

"Damn it, how did this guy find this place?" Qi Tongwei cursed in his heart. He had run to this remote village specifically to avoid being hunted by the Demonic Sect, but he didn't expect to be discovered anyway.

"Brother Dachun, what happened?" He Xiaoyu was shocked by Qi Tongwei's behavior. She had never seen Qi Tongwei so nervous.

Qi Tongwei did not answer, but held her hand tightly and whispered, "Follow me!"

He pulled He Xiaoyu, took a step, and rushed out of the room like a ghost, running towards the outside of the village.

"boom!"

Just as they left, a blood-red beam of light fell from the sky and turned Qi Tongwei's house into ruins.

"Hahaha, Qi Tongwei, you can't run away!" The bloody old man's wild laughter echoed over the village, like the devil's sound from hell, which was creepy.

"Damn it!" Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth. He knew that it was impossible to end the situation peacefully today.

"Xiaoyu, find a place to hide and don't come out!" Qi Tongwei placed He Xiaoyu behind a thick tree, his tone unquestionable.

"But, Brother Dachun, you..." He Xiaoyu's eyes were full of worry. Although she didn't know what had happened, she understood that the current situation was very dangerous.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Qi Tongwei forced a smile, touched her head, then turned around to face the terrifying breath.

"Hmph, you ignorant kid!" The bloody old man floated in the air, looking down at Qi Tongwei who was like an ant, his eyes full of contempt.

"Old bloody man, what do you want to do by chasing me again and again?" Qi Tongwei asked in a deep voice, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"You should know clearly what I want." The old man Xuesha smiled sinisterly, "As long as you hand over the 'Heart of Heaven' obediently, I can spare your life."

"The Heart of Heaven?" Qi Tongwei's heart moved. Could it be that this old guy's target is that ancient book?

"I don't know what you are talking about." Qi Tongwei decided to play dumb and test the other party's strength first.

"If you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you!" The Bloody Old Man's face darkened, and he had obviously lost his patience. "Since you are looking for death, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bloody old man flashed and turned into a blood-red lightning, shooting towards Qi Tongwei.

"So fast!" Qi Tongwei was shocked. He didn't dare to delay. He immediately circulated his energy and rushed forward with a punch.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, two powerful forces collided with each other, causing an earth-shaking shock wave. The surrounding trees were broken in half, and a huge deep pit appeared on the ground.

Qi Tongwei only felt an overwhelming force coming at him, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground, with blood spurting out of his mouth.

"Brother Dachun!" He Xiaoyu, who was hiding behind a tree, was so frightened when she saw this scene that she rushed out desperately.

"Hahaha, what a touching love story. What a pity..." The bloody old man smiled sinisterly and approached He Xiaoyu step by step. A cruel look flashed in his eyes, "Today, you will all die!"

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

“Buzz!”

A dazzling light suddenly burst out from Qi Tongwei, forming a huge light shield that enveloped him and He Xiaoyu.

"What?!" The face of old man Xuesha changed drastically. He felt that his attack was like hitting a ball of cotton and could not shake the light shield at all.

"This... what kind of power is this?" Old Man Xuesha looked at the scene in front of him in surprise and doubt, his eyes full of disbelief.

Qi Tongwei was also confused by this sudden change. He looked down at his body and saw that the ancient book hidden in his arms was emitting a dazzling golden light. Countless mysterious runes were jumping on the pages, as if coming alive.

"Could it be..." Qi Tongwei suddenly thought of something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "This ancient book is the key to unlocking the 'Heart of Heaven'?"

The golden light became brighter and brighter, almost illuminating the entire valley. The old man Xuesha took a few steps back in doubt. This power was too strange. He had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such a strange sight.

Qi Tongwei felt a strong energy surge into his body, and his original injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. He turned over and stood up, feeling the surging power in his body, and an unprecedented confidence surged in his heart.

"The Heart of Heaven... Could this be my golden finger?" He muttered to himself, his eyes falling on the ancient book that was emitting golden light.
