Perfection: He is the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Eastern Emperor!

Chapter 1 Orphans in the Wilderness

A desolate region, with vast and boundless mountain ranges.

This is a paradise for ferocious beasts and a forbidden zone for humans. Among the mountains and valleys, primordial beasts roam freely, and ancient species appear and disappear intermittently. All sorts of chilling sounds rise and fall, as if trying to shatter the heavens and earth.

However, in this very environment, on a pile of rubble, lies a human infant who appears to be a newborn.

This baby was different from ordinary babies. In such an environment, instead of crying loudly, it opened its big eyes and looked around the limited area within its sight with a puzzled expression.

"Where am I? What happened to my hand...?"

Looking at the surrounding scenery and its own soft, white hands, the baby was filled with confusion and surprise.

I remember I was watching a TV series at home just now, how did I end up here in the blink of an eye?

With doubts in his heart, the baby couldn't help but try to recall carefully.

Soon, his pupils dilated, as if he had realized something.

"The bells toll..."

"I think I heard a very loud bell ringing just now!"

"Was I here because of that bell?"

For a moment, the baby's expression became complex and subtle.

"Awoo~"

Suddenly, a mournful wolf howl reached the baby's ears, causing his face to change drastically. He hurriedly turned his little head to look over.

"this······"

"Am I going to be devoured by wolves the moment I wake up?"

As the wolf pack drew ever closer, the baby's fear intensified, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

This body was too small, it didn't even have the strength to stand up, so how could it possibly escape the wolf pack's attack?

Even if his body hadn't become like this, he didn't think that with his sedentary physique, he could outrun a pack of wolves.

As the wolf pack drew closer and closer, helplessness, fear, and despair instantly overwhelmed his heart.

Finally, just three meters away from him, a large, imposing wolf pounced on him, followed by a second, a third...

At this moment, he seemed numb. The fear and despair in his eyes were gone, replaced by resentment, calmness, and a trace of lingering affection.

"Clang~"

However, just as he had calmly faced life and death, a deep bell suddenly rang out from within him, and then he saw a layer of golden light burst out from his body, transforming into an illusory golden bell.

"when!"

The next moment, another bell rang.

The only difference was that this time the sound didn't come from inside his body, but from outside—it was the sound of the wolves crashing into the golden bell.

"This is·······"

Seeing this scene, a look of disbelief flashed in the baby's eyes. At the same time, the heart that had been in utter despair seemed to be nourished by an inexplicable force, and was revitalized.

The illusory golden bell seemed to possess supreme power. No matter how the wolves tore and charged, they could not penetrate the golden barrier. Some wolves even seemed to be shaken back by an invisible force the moment they touched the bell, howling and falling to the ground.

This scene reassured the baby somewhat, but it didn't completely put him at ease, because even in this situation, the wolf pack did not give up. They circled the golden bell, constantly trying to find a way out, their eyes flashing with hunger and madness.

This situation made the baby's heart, which had just been at ease, rise again, because he didn't know how long Jin Zhong could hold on, or whether he could hold on until the wolves retreated.

However, what he didn't know was that a group of burly figures were standing on a mound a hundred meters away, watching this scene unfold.

As for why this group of people appeared here, that story goes back to not long ago.

Not long ago, this group of people were preparing to go hunting under the arrangement of their clan chief, but just as they were about to set off, their village's spirit priest suddenly told them to come and take a look.

So, under the clan chief's arrangement, they came here.

However, when they arrived, they found a pack of wolves about to attack a baby.

They were about to make a move when they suddenly saw a golden light emanate from the baby, followed by the appearance of a phantom golden bell that protected it.

This unexpected turn of events caused them to hesitate and stop in their tracks.

"Brother Tiger, that child..."

Looking at the scene not far away, a member of the hunting team glanced hesitantly at the captain, who was clearly the leader.

Not only him, but after he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the captain, and they were all waiting for his decision.

Given this situation, everyone knows that the child inside the golden bell must be extraordinary. If they don't want to cause trouble for the village, the best outcome is to pretend they don't see it.

However, the reason they were here was because of an order from their village's spirit master.

Given this situation, it's clear that the High Priest wants them to take the child back. If they pretend they didn't see it, how will they face their High Priest when they get back?

For a moment, everyone in the hunting team was in a dilemma; taking them back was not an option, nor was not taking them back.

"Phew~"

After a long silence, the captain suddenly let out a long sigh, as if he had made up his mind. He looked around at his brothers and said, "Brothers, I know what you're all thinking, but..."

"Putting aside the fact that this is a task assigned by the High Priest, are we just going to stand by and watch a child be attacked by a pack of wolves without doing anything?"

"If that's the case, are we still people of Shicun?"

The captain's words immediately silenced everyone present, and a sense of guilt arose inexplicably in their hearts.

Yes, without the arrangements made by the spirit priest, would they just stand by and watch such a young child survive alone in the wild?

Just because he might cause trouble for the village, are we just going to stand by and watch him fall into the wolf's jaws?

No, they can't do it!

Thinking of this, everyone's gaze hardened, and their eyes became more resolute as they looked at their captain.

"Tiger, tell me, what should we do?"

One of the hunting team members spoke first, his voice firm and powerful.

"Yes, we can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Immediately, others echoed in agreement, their voices resounding across the wilderness with unwavering conviction.

Seeing this, the captain nodded heavily as well, then glanced at everyone again and said in a deep voice, "Alright, since no one has any objections, let's all go together, drive these wolves away, and bring the child safely back to the village!"

"yes!"

The crowd responded in unison, their momentum so strong it seemed to shake the very air around them.
