Chapter 1 Awakening

The Southern Sea. Li Family Villa. A stunning woman with a complexion as smooth as jade knelt beside the bed, gently stroking the face of the man in a deep slumber with a pained expression. Her name was Li Wanrou, and the man in the coma was Ye Chengfeng. "Chengfeng, today marks the 1,823rd day that I have been caring for you..." "I... am getting married. I am marrying a lunatic at the Tianhai Hotel. I have a premonition that I will face humiliation at the wedding, and ultimately be beaten to death, just like his ex-wife." "But I must do this. Only by marrying can I ensure your safety, and guarantee that you are not cast out from the Li family..." "Five years ago, when I was captured and nearly disgraced, it was you who rescued me amidst a sea of enemies. Since then, I have fallen deeply in love with you. That's why, when you went missing, I sacrificed everything to locate you and bring you back, hoping that one day, you would awaken..." "Sadly, after five years, you still remain unconscious, and I can no longer continue caring for you." At this moment, Li Wanrou's eyes welled up with tears, streaming down her cheeks and dampening Ye Chengfeng's chest. Biting her lip, she uttered with reluctance: "If you ever awaken, remember that there was a woman who always cherished you!" Having said this, she departed resolutely, her silhouette a mix of solitude and determination, akin to a martyr facing death courageously! Just as she departed, Ye Chengfeng's fingers twitched slightly! Despite being in a coma for five years, unable to move or speak, his mind was lucid. Upon learning that Li Wanrou, who had tended to him for five years, was about to wed a lunatic, a deviant to safeguard him, he was consumed with rage! What exacerbated his fury was his own powerlessness! Despite his capabilities, he was confined by his body, only capable of helplessly witnessing his benefactor, who had poured her heart out to him, marrying another! And this marked a permanent farewell! "Awaken!" "Awaken!!" "Awaken!!!" Ye Chengfeng's eyes blazed with intensity, yearning to rouse himself, yet he was unable to! His body felt like a colossal weight, suppressing his spirit, insurmountable. For medically speaking, he was now in a vegetative state! This was the shattered body left in the wake of war! Five years prior, eight neighboring nations simultaneously declared war on the Dragon Kingdom! In an instant, the Dragon Kingdom lost the majority of its territories! Cities were engulfed in flames, the infernos raging uncontrollably! Millions perished, men were enslaved, women were subjected to fatal humiliation. Numerous refugees fled their homes, leaving behind a trail of bodies, countless casualties, a scene too harrowing! As the flames subsided, the Dragon Kingdom faced imminent destruction! Ye Chengfeng shouldered the burden in the face of peril, leading a million-strong Black Dragon Army to combat the enemy! After five years of brutal warfare, culminating in the final battle in the rugged mountains, the moment the formidable coalition of eight nations was vanquished, the war concluded! Reclaiming fifty thousand miles of land! He was hailed as a hero! Laying the groundwork for a century of prosperity in the Dragon Kingdom! However, as he led the Black Dragon Army back to the capital, they were ambushed by a massive force! Shockingly, the assailants were the Dragon Kingdom's allies! Following the grueling final battle, with their military strength depleted and suffering heavy losses, how could they withstand tens of thousands of adversaries? The journey home transformed into a nightmare, as it was razed to the ground! Fields were littered with corpses, blood flowed like rivers, grievances lingered in the mountains and rivers, and wails reverberated through the heavens and earth! The Black Dragon Army had confronted the mightiest armies of eight nations and emerged victorious. Yet, in the end, they perished at the hands of their supposed allies! Alone, Ye Chengfeng defeated the strongest war gods of the eight countries, leaving his body weakened to the extreme. Despite facing a massacre by their allies, he continued to fight until his body completely collapsed. Eventually, he fell from exhaustion and was later brought back to the Li family by Li Wanrou. Li Wanrou was a woman whom Ye Chengfeng had encountered during his past battles. When the Li family fled, Li Wanrou was captured, prompting him to storm into the enemy camp to rescue her from potential violation. Following the heavy casualties suffered by the Black Dragon Army in the battle of the wild mountains, Ye Chengfeng was critically injured and left in a vegetative state. It was Li Wanrou who unearthed him from a pile of dead bodies and tended to his needs. In a display of loyalty, she turned against her family and even married him despite opposition. Now, as Ye Chengfeng lay helpless in bed, Li Wanrou, a woman of deep affection and loyalty, was preparing to sacrifice her happiness and life for him. Overwhelmed by anger, Ye Chengfeng's killing intent burst out of his body. "Wake up, wake up!" he shouted. *Crack!* A cracking sound reverberated through his body, and in the next moment, Ye Chengfeng abruptly sat up, his eyes filled with a fierce light and a rising murderous aura. The intense killing intent caused a violent wind to sweep through the room, shattering the ground and walls. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he doubled over, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Despite the serious damage caused by his forced awakening, he was determined to save Li Wanrou. "Where are you, Wanrou?" he cried out. Realizing that she was at the Tianhai Hotel, Ye Chengfeng frantically searched for the wedding venue. As he watched a live stream of the event, his fury grew. The screen displayed a lavish wedding scene at the Tianhai Hotel, with a grand banquet hall and a man and woman at the entrance. However, to his horror, he saw that the woman was bound by heavy iron chains. The man in a sharp suit callously kicked the woman to the ground, commanding her to crawl over a fire basin to dispel bad luck. Despite her protests, he cruelly forced her into the fire pit, causing her immense pain and suffering. Witnessing this horrific scene, Ye Chengfeng's determination to save Li Wanrou intensified. Li Wanrou was in so much pain that she nearly fainted, screaming loudly! A long trail of blood was left on the ground, both beautiful and horrifying! "Boom!" A terrifying sense of impending doom filled the air, creating an incredibly intense pressure that sent shockwaves throughout the room. This was the wrath of the war god! When an ordinary man is angry, blood may be spilled within five steps; When a war god is angry, blood may flow for a thousand miles! "Dare to harm my wife, and I will eradicate your entire lineage!" Ye Chengfeng dashed out of the room without hesitation, transforming into a whirlwind as he raced towards the distance! "Wanrou, wait for me!"
