Chapter 3 - Chapter 03: Awakening of the Extreme Origin

{At the Headquarters of Heavenly Human Alliance}

Xu Beng, the leader of the Heavenly Human Alliance and the Strongest Human Martial Artist, who became a Martial Saint at the age of 41, setting the record of the youngest Martial Saint in the history of Humanity, normally, to reach the martial saint realm, it takes about 100,000 years if you are rich and Talented. His very existence destroys the common sense of the world.

He is sitting in the conference room, holding the casualty report of the Southern Island.

"This time casualty had exceeded the estimated number by a lot. Do any of the Graission Envoys want to explain to me why this happened?"

There are a total of 108 Graission Envoys in the world, each possessing strength equivalent to that of a Martial King or higher, and each entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing a designated area.

To safely evacuate everyone from the Southern Island, a total of 300,000 evacuation boats were needed, but the neighbouring area only sent 80,000, which significantly increased the number of casualties.

Graission Enovy of the Southern Island lashed out, "If others had sent the help based on the details I presented, none of this would have happened"

"Does it even matter if those talentless barbarian's die?" One Graission Enovy commented

"You Bastard! fight me, let's see who is the talentless barbarian"

"Silence" Xue Bing

"This is not the time to fight among ourselves; there is an even more important matter to discuss here, the prophecy of the Sage"

All the Graission Enovy understood the severity of this matter. Heavenly Human Alliance possess an ancient item called [Sage of Prophecy], and every time the world is about to undergo a major change, it gives out a prophecy. Its Prophecy has never been wrong, and the last time it gave a prophecy was somewhere around 200,000 years ago, which resulted in a Calamity that killed all the Martial Saints of that period. It really took a long time for the world to recover from that Calamity, marking that as one of the Darkest times in history.

The entire room was cold. Hearing this news, one of them broke the ice by asking.

"What is the Prophecy?"

Xu Beng: "Black Sun will rise from the Abyss and cover the world in darkness, to confront the Black Sun, first Saint shall be reborn from the Ashes of Chaos."

"Black Sun is referring to Demonic Cultivator or the Demons from Demonic Gate, right?"

Xu Beng nodded, affirming their conclusion

"First Saint, is it talking about the [First Human Martial Saint]?"

"I don't think there is anyone else worthy of being called first Saint aside from him", Xu Beng.

"..."

Everyone once again fell silent. This time, there was a strong mixture of fear and excitement in everyone's heart.

"I have already contacted the Myriad Race Alliance for cooperation", Xu Beng.

Long ago, before humanity had awakened its potential for Martial Arts, the world was ruled by races such as Dragons, Elves, and Beastmen. However, once humans unlocked their abilities through Martial Arts and Awakening, their strength quickly surpassed that of all other races. The most alarming aspect was that humans had no limits on reproduction. Typically, the stronger an individual became, the less fertile they would be, but for humans, the opposite was true—their fertility increased alongside their strength.

This led to humans becoming the most dominant race in the world. To stand a fighting chance against them, all other non-human races united to form the Myriad Race Alliance. Currently, humans occupy 70% of the world, while the Myriad Race Alliance controls the remaining 30%. After humanity split into the [Heavenly Human Alliance] and the [Heavenly Demon Cult], the Myriad Race Alliance severed all official ties with humans, declaring itself a neutral force. On the surface, it maintains neutrality with both sides, but behind the scenes, it provides resources and weapons to each faction.

Tang Hao, Tang Yun'er's adoptive older brother, who was 4 years older than her, was travelling with his parents in an evacuation boat after the southern island was invaded by the demonic cultivator.

Before the invasion began, Tang Hao passed out from a headache, so he didn't know what was happening outside. After he woke up, his mind became clearer, and new memories appeared in his mind, and he comprehended whose this memorise was from and who he is.

He is the reincarnation of the [First Human Martial Saint] after he woke up and adapted to his new memories. He understood what was happening and where he was.

"Dear, you woke up? Are you feeling pain in your body? Please tell me," Tang Hao's Mother, who was sitting on the chair beside him.

He looked around and realised his father had fallen asleep sitting in the chair, but couldn't find his sister.

"Mom, where is sis? Is she sleeping in the other room?" 

Tang Hao's Mother wasn't startled by this question; she knew how smart and mature her child was, so it was no surprise that he was able to piece together his current situation.

"She is on a different evacuation ship", Tang Hao's Mother lied with a sense of guilt.

Realising his mother was lying and noting the guilt etched on her face, he chose not to press the matter further. Instead, he fixed his gaze on her and employed the [Mystic Eye art], a low-level technique he had once used to interrogate enemies in his previous life.

"Tell me what happened to my sister?"

"We left her behind"

"Why?"

"She was no longer useful"

"What do you mean?"

Tang Hao's mother revealed that the only reason they had taken Tang Yun'er in was to seize the inheritance she had received from her late parents. Her mother had been a low-level alchemist, and her father a deadly assassin on the front lines. When they died, they left her a fortune in cultivation resources and money under her name, but she couldn't claim it until she reached adulthood.

They tried to trick Tang Yun'er into handing over all her fortune, but after the Demonic Cultivator's invasion, its value became worthless, so they chose to abandon her.

Hearing this, he was taken aback. No one understood human greed better than he did. In his past life, he had encountered situations like this many times, so for now, he chose not to press the issue any further.

For the final trial, Tang Yun'er chose the [Demonic Snake Cave], a place teeming with black and white snakes with eerie pink eyes, all tangled together. Without hesitation, she leapt into their midst, instantly bitten by thousands of them. The venom coursed through every corner of her body, and she screamed in intense pain before gritting her teeth and forcing herself to endure it.

Tang Yun'er woke up amidst the corpse of the snake, munching on part of it. The intense poison had put her body through countless cycles of destruction and reconstruction. Her once frail frame had transformed, now matching or even surpassing her peers in strength and agility, erasing her only weakness—her poor physique.

As the demonic cultivator opened the door, anticipating the lifeless body of Tang Yun'er, he was instead confronted by a maiden with white hair and pink eyes.

[Tang Yun'er (Img)]

After the final trial ended, only 10 people made it out alive from the beast cave.

Number 969(Tang Yun'er, Chosen the [Cave of Snake Demon])

Number 17 : (Feng Ling, Chosen the [Cave of Bear Demon])

Number 108: (Xie Wuying Chosen the [Cave of Plant Demon])

Number 1: (Mo Tianxie Chosen the [Cave of Bat Demon])

Number 18: (Hei Luotian Chosen the [Cave of cat Demon])

Number 12: (Yan Shaluo Chosen the [Cave of dog Demon])

Number 19: (Yu Meisha Chosen the [Cave of Turtle Demon])

Number 27: (Xue Yinhua Chosen the [Cave of Bull Demon])

Number 69: (Hei Lingyao Chosen the [Cave of Bird Demon])

Number 96: (Sha Yunfei Chosen the [Cave of Lizard Demon])

"After you go through your awakening, you will be enrolled in the Demonic Academy"

One by one, everyone started going through the awakening with the help of the awakening crystal

Everyone awakened only from Silver to Black-Gold Tier Martial Soul and Class. It was widely recognised among martial artists that [Class/profession] defines the lower limit of one's potential, while [Martial Soul] determines the upper limit. Both [Class] and [Martial Soul] are always inherently compatible with each other.

Out of all of them, only Feng Ling Awakened [Class: Soul sorcerer] (5 Star Earth Tier) and [Martial Soul: Evil Phoenix] (1 star Heaven tier)

It was now Tang Yun'er's turn to awaken. Placing her hand on the awakening crystal, she felt its energy flow into her body, resonating with something within her. In an instant, a sword materialised behind her, shaped like a katana, and an information panel appeared on the crystal.

Name: Tang Yun'er

[Only One Occupation: Maiden of Extrem Origin]

[Professional Grade: ??? (Unknown)]

[Professional Skills (1): ??? (Unknown)]

[Professional Skills (2): ??? (Unknown)]

[Professional Skills (3): ??? (Unknown)]

[Professional Skills (4): ??? (Unknown)]

[Martial Soul: Sword of Unity]

[Martial Soul Grade: 1 Star Bronzen Tier]

Looking at the information panel, it was clear that Tang Yun'er's talent was inferior to that of all the other candidates. Even though her class was unique, its potential couldn't go beyond the Star 1 Bronze tier—after all, that was common knowledge in the world. So demonic cultivator judged her to be the weakest among the group.
