Chapter 1: Back to the Old Stone Age

  When Wang Yang felt himself suddenly released from a crushing pressure that was about to take his life, he went crazy!

  I've been reborn! I was reborn with memories!

  He was so happy that he wanted to go crazy and shout loudly, but he didn't forget what he had seen before his rebirth - the protagonists of all those rebirth stories became extremely rich and powerful.

  Even if it's not rebirth, but transmigration, it's still okay. Whatever the aura, magic, various continents, and various planes, as long as you can cultivate, you can definitely break through the sky with one hand!

  From now on, I will take control of my own destiny and live a life where those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish!

  At worst, even if I were to travel back in time to ancient times, relying on my knowledge and understanding of history that is hundreds or thousands of years ahead, becoming a king or a marquis should be quite easy.

  As soon as Wang Yang opened his eyes at that moment, he deeply realized that the tragedy had just begun!

  He looked at his mother, those deep-set eye sockets, prominent cheekbones, and protruding mouth, suddenly reminded him of the "ape-man" recorded in his textbook.

  And he turned his head, and saw a robust man with a lot of body hair, wearing sheepskin, with joy and affection shining from the deep eye sockets, that deep concern surrounded Wang Yang, reminding him at all times, this was his father.

  And beside him, there were some people looking at themselves, without exception, all with ape-like faces.

  Wang Yang felt somewhat unwilling, having been reborn with great difficulty, how could it end in such tragedy.

  He turned around and looked at the surroundings, only to see that it was a stone cave. There were no tables or chairs in the cave, nor any ceramic pots and pans, let alone fire.

  Living in caves, wearing uncured animal hides, without fire, without ceramics... such a scene is easily reminiscent of the distant Stone Age.

  That's right, the Stone Age, that desolate, ferocious beast, no beauty era.

  The harsh reality hit Xiao Wang Yang's soul hard, he cried! He wailed loudly!

  It wasn't until this moment that he deeply understood why a newborn's first act is always wailing in pain!

  His past life memories were almost useless in such a harsh environment.

  He knew that the only historical direction was that after a long evolution of at least hundreds of millions of years in the Stone Age, bronze would be used first, and then iron, followed by a cultural renaissance, and all sorts of things would emerge.

  But these were of no help to him at all. He wouldn't invent the light bulb or manufacture cars. In his past life, he was just a university student who buried himself in books and studied until midnight, spitting up blood.

  In real life, he had almost no experience and died mysteriously without even leaving the campus, and the specific cause of death will not be mentioned.

  Originally thought of traversing or rebirth, full of longing for life, later making a big move, slaughtering gods and eliminating demons.

  Who would have thought I'd be reborn in this era.

  What's this for? Building socialist new countryside?

  Wang Yang felt a pang of sadness, took a deep breath, and no matter what, he still had to keep living.

  The Stone Age, especially the early Paleolithic era when even fire was not yet controlled, was a very dangerous world.

  Mastodons with huge tusks, giant lions galloping across the vast grasslands, tigers ruling over mountains, and leopards climbing trees - all are ruthless killers.

  Even beasts like saber-toothed tigers are weak in comparison. In front of the aforementioned few, they can only call themselves small beasts and dare not fight them head-on.

  Even saber-toothed tigers didn't dare, let alone humans.

  Humans in this era can't dominate the world, it's already good if they aren't killed by other beasts.

  Not to mention that not only beasts, but also extremely harsh natural environments are against humans. There are no flat and wide roads here, no cars, airplanes and other means of transportation, and can only rely on a pair of feet.

  A single rapid current can stop people in their tracks.

  The climate is also not guarding its own emptiness, the weather is cold, and the tail of the Ice Age still has a profound impact on the world.

  There is no heating, no air conditioning, want to wear a tiger skin coat? Brother, find a sheep...

  And there's no hospital here, if you get injured and get tetanus, there's no one to give you a shot. If you're unlucky, being bitten by a rabid dog...

  To sum it up, just surviving here is a problem, let alone enjoying your later years. It's absolutely impossible to sit on a mountain with your partner and sing: "Nothing is more beautiful than the sunset..."

  It suddenly dawned on him that Wang Yang was like a falling ice cave, and it seemed that he didn't come here to have fun, but to suffer!

  Of course, as a bloodthirsty man who can even gnaw through books, Wang Yang absolutely possesses the strength and abandon of a true man!

  He set himself a great and glorious goal!

  Don't be brutally eaten by beasts!

  Alright, this goal is neither great nor glorious, but it's extremely practical.

  After all, based on what he has learned and seen, apemen do not have any advantages in this era.

  Climbing trees is not about climbing the fastest or highest.

  Running is not about running the fastest or the longest.

  Even wisdom is still under development and has a big gap with modern people.

  Not to mention what kind of monsters this world has.

  Facing such a completely strange world, he must start from the most basic survival, only by living on, will have the opportunity to become stronger.

  Then Xiao Wang Yang began his struggling life.

  In the first year, he experienced growth and confirmation that this area of primeval forests and green vegetation belonged to a mountainous terrain.

  Having gone through countless experiences of freezing and running nose, and countless days and nights without flames, it was determined to belong to the early Paleolithic era.

  300 million to 170 million years ago!

  This era is also known as the Early Eocene, a time when the climate was mysteriously cold and large-scale glaciations frequently occurred.

  There were twenty people living in this cave, thirteen males and seven females.

  They wore unsewn animal hides and were covered in large areas of body hair, able to communicate with each other only through simple gestures.

  That's right, they have no language!

  Because most people don't have a chin or have a very short one, the tongue doesn't have much room to move around and the vocal cords haven't evolved well, so they can only make "wuu wuu" sounds.

  Including Wang Yang himself, he couldn't speak either.

  This is undoubtedly a very frustrating thing, unable to communicate effectively, and cannot tell them their knowledge to achieve the effect of helping the tribe.

  In this year, adults will all go out during the day, sometimes returning before sunset, and sometimes going out for two or three days.

  When they come back, they will bring back more or less fruits, occasionally catch some small animals, rabbits are more common, and fish will also be caught.

  Wang Yang couldn't go out, he also couldn't go out. The adults had no way to take him to find food, so he could only honestly stay in the cave. The outside world could only be seen by crawling to the entrance of the cave and carefully looking.

  He should be living at the foot of a certain mountain, with a small stream outside.

  Wang Yang didn't dare go out, he could understand that where there was a water source, there would be danger, and going out now might just mean meeting his maker.
