The earliest memory Tietie had was of living in the mountains.
Her life was simple - hiding in caves during the day and gathering resources at night. She would pick fruits and catch mice and birds every day.
The entire village lived this way.
There was a local tradition where a divine envoy would come to seek a sacrifice. If somebody was chosen, that person would ascend to the Divine Kingdom as a sacrifice and the village that produced the offering would receive the protection of the divine envoy.
One day, the divine envoy arrived at the village where Tietie lived.
He descended from the sky, wearing a gold mask revealing blood-red eyes, long whiskers on his head, and a lengthy tail.
Zhou Yi recognized him immediately.
Golden-faced Guard.
He was a guard of the Heavenly People.
The Golden-faced Guard was holding a Crystal Ball, inside of which was a Gem Fragment.
