Chapter 1: High Barbarian Mountain Eagle-Man Tribe
Felland World.
The Age of Titans and Dragons.
Gao Man Mountain, at the border of the grasslands and forests.
The great sun hung high, scorching like fire!
"Gao Man Mountain Tribe, the King's Court has an order! Fifty Eagle People warriors are to be conscripted! Within three days, proceed to Han Hai Forest to obey the command of the God of Thunder!"
Above the cliff.
An Eagle People with grey-black wings flapped in mid-air, holding a bone spear in his claw, and shouted down at the Eagle People on the cliff.
Below on the cliff, among the Eagle People crowd.
Jiang You raised his head in a daze, looking around him and at the sky.
"Where am I...?!"
Soon, he discovered the difference.
All around him were Eagle People with human faces, bird beaks, eagle feet, eagle wings, and bodies covered in grey-black feathers.
The Eagle People wore simple animal skin clothes, were thin, and looked sallow, indicating long-term malnutrition.
As for himself, he was still a young Eagle People, standing beside a female Eagle People.
Soon, the young Eagle People's brief memories surfaced in his mind.
"Messenger! Our tribe has no more than two hundred Eagle People in total. If all the able-bodied youths leave, how can we survive in this great wilderness? Please grant us some leniency."
Among the Eagle People on the cliff, a tall, adult Eagle People stood at the front, pleading with the Eagle Human Messenger in mid-air.
However, the Messenger did not care about their lives, only saying:
"Hmph, I don't care about that. Arrive on time and live, fail to arrive and your tribe will be annihilated!"
With that, he flapped his wings and flew elsewhere, leaving behind the Eagle People full of despair.
Night.
A bonfire was lit on the cliff.
Roasting on it was the High Barbarian Mountain Eagle-Man Tribe's only remaining meat.
The young Eagle People silently ate the meat, with their kin beside them.
Jiang You also stood beside a male Eagle People with his mother.
The male Eagle People was tall and was the Clan Chief of this Eagle People tribe, the tall Eagle People who had begged the Messenger for leniency during the day.
After he finished eating the meat, he turned to look at Jiang You, sighed, stroked his head, and smiled.
"My son must grow up healthy!"
Upon hearing this, although Jiang You was now a different person, having fused with the young Eagle People's memories, he was still touched.
Then, he looked at the female Eagle People and said solemnly:
"Azi, the War between the Titan God Race and the Ancient Dragon has lasted for a thousand years. Ten years ago, our fathers left and never returned. This time, our departure is also fraught with uncertainty. After I leave, A You will depend on you to raise him."
The female Eagle People's eyes were moist.
"Yi, can't we just not go? We can leave Gao Man Mountain and hide far away."
"No, the entire world is divided and ruled by Titans and Dragons. Here, we can still barely survive. Going elsewhere would only lead to annihilation."
The Eagle Father said helplessly.
"Yi, you must return safely!"
"I will."
Early the next morning.
All the young Eagle People, led by the Eagle Father, flew west towards Han Hai Forest.
On the cliff, a group of old, weak, women, and children among the Eagle People watched the retreating figures of the Eagle People warriors, instinctively hugging their children tighter.
...
Three years later.
In a forest near Gao Man Mountain.
Jiang You held a short stone spear in his claw, standing on a treetop, his cold, vertical pupils fixed on the ground below.
One large and one small thick-skinned wild boar were being attacked by three forest wolves.
The smaller thick-skinned wild boar had already been bitten off half its head by the forest wolves, dead beyond doubt.
The larger thick-skinned wild boar, enraged by the loss of its child, ignored its wounds and charged fiercely, lowering its head and raising its tusks.
One forest wolf was impaled and fell dead, another forest wolf also had its belly ripped open and lay gasping on the ground.
And one more forest wolf delivered the final blow to the thick-skinned wild boar.
Just then, an eagle cry rang out.
Jiang You flapped his wings and dropped from the treetop, raising his stone spear and accurately thrusting it into the forest wolf's eye.
As this forest wolf died in agony.
You killed a forest wolf, experience +10.
Jiang You ignored it, turned and flew towards the heavily wounded forest wolf lying on the ground, and suddenly threw the stone spear in his hand.
The stone spear flew out, hitting it directly in the throat.
You killed a forest wolf, experience +10.
The entire process was astonishingly fast and clean.
Only after the battle ended did three young Eagle People land on the ground.
"A You, you're amazing!"
"We just flew down from the tree, and you've already killed them all."
Jiang You smiled and nodded.
"A Sang, A Lie, A Lai, you take part of the prey back first. I'll watch here."
"Okay, A You, then be careful!"
The three young Eagle People finished speaking and together carried away the two thick-skinned wild boars, one large and one small.
Watching them fly away, Jiang You briefly dealt with the bloody smell of the three forest wolves and then flew to the treetop.
He sat on a branch, watching the setting sun in the distance, and shook the blood off his stone spear.
"Open panel."

Seeing the Game System Start Countdown, Jiang You couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Transmigration into an Eagle People, a terrible start, and the Game System was still unusable.
"I wonder if I'm an NPC or a player?"
He sighed deeply.
"The System is unreliable for now, so I can only rely on myself first. Fortunately, I can still check my attributes and skills, so it's not entirely useless."
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled between the leaves, a golden hue.
Jiang You broke off a branch and gestured in the air.
"Nothing to do, I'll sort it out again."
"I've been in this world for three years, and I've confirmed that this is the ancient era of the game 'Felland World', the chapter of Titans and Dragons."
"When I entered the game, it was the fifth chapter, the era of the Human Race Empire's rise."
"By then, the Age of Titans and Dragons had long passed. After the ancient War, the Titans disappeared without a trace, and the Dragons retreated to Dragon Island."
"There is too little information from this period. In my memory, there is only one record: three years before the final War between Titans and Dragons, Atli, the God of Thunder, killed the Blue Dragon King, Aliletos, the Ancient Dragon Emperor's favorite young son, in a War for territory!"
"Which is the ancestor of the later Blue Dragons."
"This incident was the fuse."
"The Dragon Emperor was enraged and mobilized all his clan's forces to fight the Titan Giant, ultimately resulting in mutual destruction, and the Goblins took the opportunity to rise!"
"At the time, when watching the lore videos, I didn't pay attention to the history of the Eagle People race."
"At this time, the Eagle People still had a King's Court ruling hundreds of thousands of Eagle People in the ancient world, belonging to a race of intelligent beings."
Thinking of this, he looked himself up and down and sighed.
"The Eagle People, these weak monsters in the fifth chapter, have already been excluded from the intelligent races in the future. Players wouldn't even have the option to choose Eagle People as a starting race."
"To be honest, the Eagle People's talent is indeed very low. I've tried many methods from later eras on this young Eagle People body, but I haven't been able to Awaken extraordinary abilities."
"No talent means no talent!"
"If I can't even Awaken extraordinary abilities, let alone the future."
He frowned in thought.
"But I remember, in the fifth chapter, there was always a legend circulating."
"An ordinary turtle bathed in Titan's Blood in ancient times and eventually became a demigod, surviving until the players arrived."
"I originally wanted to use this method to Awaken extraordinary abilities."
"But for the past three years, I've heard that bathing in Titan's Blood doesn't make one stronger; instead, it burns one to death, without exception!"
"Why was that old turtle able to bathe in Titan's Blood without dying, and instead wield extraordinary power?"
Jiang You fell into deep thought.
"I've done a quest for this old turtle. If I think about it carefully again, there might be a clue!"
