The mortal body that covers the sky becomes an emperor

Chapter 1 Past and Present
Night has fallen quietly, and the road is bustling with people coming and going.

Henry Zhang looked at the red indicator light ahead and silently tightened the handbrake.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and checked the time. It was already about nine o'clock in the evening.

"Take a rest after delivering this order!"

Henry Zhang thought silently.

It's been more than a year since I graduated, but I still have a lot of time to deliver food by myself.

Since he was in college, he has been delivering food to earn tuition and living expenses.

Therefore, this job is very easy for Henry Zhang.

Looking at the family of three chatting and laughing next to him, Henry Zhang was a little envious, but not jealous.

He grew up in an orphanage. With the help of kind people and his own efforts, he finished college and also had a good job.

Although I don’t have a house or a car for the time being, I can still live a comfortable life.

The orphanages were also merged a few years ago, and the people in them all have their own destinations, so Henry doesn't need to worry.

Therefore, he is now in a state where one person is full and the whole family is not hungry.

As for delivering food, I just want to earn more while I am young.

Seeing the green light ahead, Henry Zhang released the handbrake and rushed out.

"Be careful!" A cry sounded from behind.

Henry Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then a huge force hit him.

Henry Zhang felt himself flying into the air, and after rolling a few times in mid-air, he fell heavily to the ground.

Before losing consciousness, Henry Zhang was still thinking silently: "Who is this rushing to reincarnate..."

I don’t know how long it took, Henry Zhang woke up in a daze and just wanted to look around.

"Hurry up!"

An angry shout sounded behind him, and then a whip hit him hard on the back.

The severe pain caused him to take a deep breath and stumble forward a few steps.

Henry Zhang turned back and glared at the instigator with an angry look.

Only then did he realize that behind him was a big man in ancient costume with a sinister face.

Henry Zhang was stunned. He looked around subconsciously and found that he was now in a pothole. He was surrounded by some people in ancient costumes, but their clothes were in tatters and their faces were numb. He couldn't help but froze in place.

The big man was also startled by Henry Zhang's initial look. He waved the whip in his hand a few times, but it did not fall on Henry Zhang again.

He just yelled with a ferocious face: "What are you looking at? You came here to mine voluntarily. You have already signed the contract and paid the money. But after so many days, no one of you has mined." Come out. If you cannot satisfy the Lord, then all of you will have to be filled in this mine."

Henry Zhang quickly lowered his head, glanced around with his peripheral vision, and found that everyone around him had his head lowered, and no one spoke.

Henry Zhang has an advantage, that is, when the situation is unclear, he will never express his opinions easily, so he also fell silent.

Seeing Henry Zhang lower his head, the big man nodded with satisfaction and said coldly: "Move quickly and keep digging in. If there is no harvest today, you guys don't need to rest."

Watching the people around him walking forward silently, Henry Zhang followed him with his head down, while at the same time turning over some messy memories in his mind.

Henry Zhang discovered these memories when he woke up, but he was whipped before he could look at them.

Now when the big man didn't notice him, he watched silently.

However, only a few breaths passed before a trace of bitterness appeared in the corner of Henry Zhang's mouth.

"Did I travel through time? Or was I reborn?" Henry Zhang thought silently.

Judging from the memory, the original body of this body lived an unusually difficult life.

Both his parents died when he was young, leaving no inheritance for him to inherit.The original person has been struggling at the bottom of society since he was a child. He has to make a living and work as a waiter in a shop. He has lived a hard life of all kinds.

More than half a month ago, a monk came to Qiyuan City to recruit miners. The original person sold himself out and planned to fight for a way out in the mines.

This was originally a good way out. There were rumors that as long as you dug a piece of source in the mine, you could be rich for half your life.

It's a pity that after arriving, I discovered that the source is not that easy to dig. Some people have been wasting here for several years and still can't find a piece.

Moreover, the owner here is not kind to the mortals who come to mine.

Although they would not kill people at will, it was common for them to treat miners as mules and horses.

No matter how strong your physical strength is, if you can't dig out the source, you will be exhausted in a year or two at most.

For them, there are so many mortals that they just need to replace one group after they are exhausted.

There are a lot of people out there who are willing to come to a place like this to fight for their way out.

The original body was already weak, and after holding on for more than half a month, he died of exhaustion in the mine.

Regarding this situation, Henry Zhang didn’t know what to say.

Judging from the information in his memory, this mine is really not a place for people to stay. With the current condition of his body, I am afraid that he will have to die again soon.

I just don’t know if there will be a chance to be reborn after death.

As for escaping from here, Henry Zhang never thought about it.

There are many monks stationed around the mine. Although he has never seen the monks' abilities, he has heard from old miners.

There were people who couldn't bear it and wanted to escape before, but they were all turned into corpses and thrown back.

Therefore, the only way out now is to dig out the source and be released.

Either become a monk and break out.

But these two roads are out of reach for Henry Zhang now.

It goes without saying how precious the source is. Those monks are willing to spend such huge manpower and material resources, but it is not so easy to obtain.

As for becoming a monk, that is even more difficult.

Over the years, I have tried hard to do this, but all ended in failure.

To low-level mortals like them, monks are figures who are invisible to the eye.

Thinking of this, Henry Zhang couldn't help but lamented.

No matter how he thought about it, he seemed to be on the verge of death.

Not long after walking, everyone had arrived at the end of the mine, watching the people around them silently picking up tools and starting to dig ahead.

Henry Zhang had no choice but to join in.

After all, the big man with a sinister face behind him was still staring at him.

If he doesn't take action, he may be beaten again.

Although it seems that he is destined to die now, Henry Zhang will not give up until the last step.

Just after digging a few times, Henry Zhang felt sore all over and could hardly hold the tool in his hand.

I couldn't help but sigh again in my heart.

Silently chanting: "System, system!?"

I called a few times but didn't get any feedback.

I couldn't help but feel a little desperate: "Isn't it said that time travelers have systems? Where did I go?"
