Rebirth Myth

Chapter 1: The Prelude to Everything

At 9:30 pm, Xu Yi stretched lazily and stood up from the rocking chair. He exhaled and made sure there was no one in the store before slowly walking to the door. He closed the rolling shutter door and started cleaning with a broom.
His storefront is not large, except for the second floor which was renovated by Xu Yi as a living and grooming area, the area of the first floor is only about 100 square meters. About ten bookshelves are neatly scattered on the marble floor, and there are old books with folded edges on them
——This is a rented bookstore.
In the information age where communication is extremely advanced and network resources are inexhaustible in modern society, there are not many people reading paper books, let alone the poor location of Xu Yi's bookstore, which is far from the city center and cannot compare to the terrifying pedestrian flow of commercial streets.
But in fact, the business of renting a bookstore is quite good. Although it cannot be called a daily profit, it is more than enough to maintain Xu Yi's daily expenses.
The reason is simple, Xu Yi's appearance is too outstanding.
He is as handsome and handsome as a crown jewel, and his appearance alone is a gift for exiling immortals. In addition, he is a bookstore owner and likes to wear retro cloaks and long clothes. Suddenly, he agrees with the description in that ancient poem:
——A stranger is like a jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
Such outstanding appearance naturally makes some little girls in the surrounding schools tempted. They often come to this small bookstore in pairs and chat with Xu Yi while renting books. The business is really good.
Overall, he still relies on his face to make a living now.
Twenty minutes later, Xu Yiqing finished sweeping the ground. He exhaled and took off his cloak, placing it on a rocking chair. As he walked towards the second floor, he whispered to the empty corner:
"Ah sin, take good care of your home."As far as my gaze could see, the air twisted and shrouded for a moment, as if an invisible life was nodding slightly to show compliance, but a slight anomaly quickly dissipated, leaving no trace.
Xu Yi knew about the servant's silence and didn't say much. He just walked straight to the bedroom and locked the door.
The bedroom is no different from an ordinary person's place, just like the room of an ordinary single youth, with a messy arrangement of items and several posters pasted on the walls.
The young bookstore owner walked up to the front of the bedside wall, firmly pressing his palm on it and gently exerting force. The cement cast wall transformed and reassembled like a Rubik's Cube, and with the continuous clicking sound, a glowing door appeared in the room.
After the transformation ended, Xu Yi didn't hesitate and strode into the Light Gate. After a brief moment of unconsciousness, he appeared in another time and space.
This space is only about 20 square meters, with walls shining gray on all sides, and the ground filled with various books and newspapers.
"A Study of Chinese Mythology", "The Truth After the Mist", "A General History of Ancient Humans", "Sacrifice", "City of Mythology"
There are various types of books stacked in different spaces, mostly ancient books and mystical books. If anyone sees Xu Yi's collection, they will definitely think that this gentle bookstore owner is a fan of history and mythology.
Xu Yi didn't sit down until the door disappeared again, carefully examining the books surrounding him. After a while, a low and inaudible sigh finally remembered in this strange space:
"A year and a half of preparation, everything is ready, and finally it's about to begin. The prelude to a prosperous era led by myself..."
