Parallel universe, East Sea City.
Wheeze——wheeze——
In a 50 square meter room of Osmanthus District, a young man around 22 or 23 years old suddenly sat up in bed, gasping heavily.
"Wasn't I killed by Skuru people? How could it be..."
Looking around the familiar environment, Su Yu quickly reached for his phone on the bedside table.
"May 29, 2120... Am I reborn?! And even before the grand transformation?"
Looking at the date displayed on his phone, Su Yu's face couldn't believe it.
According to his memory, three days later, on June 1, Skuru aliens would invade Blue Star.
Skuru Star was somewhat more advanced than Blue Star, possessing the ability to obliterate Blue Star humans and completely occupy Blue Star within a month.
However, according to the game rules set by the god-level civilization - the Singer Civilization:
When an advanced civilization invades a weaker one, the Singers would provide a period of protection and some means of self-defense to the weaker civilization.
The Skuru's invasion was thus postponed for a year, until June 1, 2121.
At the same time, the Singer Civilization provided two means of self-defense to the Blue Star humans.
First, Spirit Power Awakening.
At that time, all the spiritual energy stored in the mantle would be activated, enhancing the strength of all Blue Star humans.
Second, a super-realistic game - "Evolution".
Once Blue Star humans reached level 50 in "Evolution", they could manifest their in-game strength into the real world.
Regrettably, when the grand transformation began in Su Yu's previous life, the governments of various countries were unaware that real-world manifestation was possible through "Evolution".
By the time they started to take it seriously and encouraged all citizens to explore the game, it was half a year later, when the third expansion pack was released, and some players had reached level 50.
A step slow, steps slow.
On June 1, 2121, the fully prepared Skuru invaders attacked in waves, pressuring Blue Star humans.
And Su Yu, he died in the battle against the Skuru.
...
Su Yu stared at the date displayed on his phone screen, his face rigid, and he was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he finally came back to his senses:
"The server for 'Evolution' should be going online in three days. During that time, I must get a game helmet!"
"Also, the first time you log into the game, the game helmet will absorb all the spiritual energy within a five-kilometer radius, I better bring the helmet to a Spiritual Spring Eye....."
Su Yu began to take action, mumbling to himself as he dialed the hotline to purchase a game helmet.
He wasn't one to sit back and await his death.
As for whether Su Yu's rebirth could cause a butterfly effect and disturb the overall situation of the humans, he was unsure himself.
Regardless, do what humans can do and leave the rest to destiny!
...
Three days later, at 7:30 AM, Su Yu drove his old car to a quiet mountain on the outskirts of East Sea City.
"Yunlu Mountain, this is the place."
Su Yu picked up the game helmet from the back seat and began to hike up the mountain.
The game helmet for "Evolution" cost 30,000 yuan, almost all of his savings from working for a year after graduation, but Su Yu didn't mind at all.
Humans were on the brink of destruction, what's the use of money?
Standing on the top of the mountain with the helmet, looking at the magnificent mountains and rivers around him, Su Yu was filled with emotion.
Now, almost no one in the country knew the name of this obscure mountain, Yunlu Mountain, but in half a year's time, the name of this mountain would spread all over the country.
Because of the Spirit Power Awakening, 24 megatype, 108 largetype, and 3600 smalltype "Spiritual Spring Eyes" would open worldwide, spewing out spiritual energy.
And the "Yunlu Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye" was the largest one worldwide!
Time passed by minute by minute.
"It's 8 o'clock! It's time for the 'Evolution' server to go online. The grand transformation is about to begin!" Su Yu's face became serious.
Soon, the ground began to shake violently.
About two kilometers north of the mountaintop, the ground suddenly cracked open, a deep hole!
At the same time, a vast amount of milky white, faint purple spiritual energy spewed out from the hole, spreading out in all directions, a flood of spiritual energy surging towards the sky.
"It's really beautiful!" Su Yu looked at the substantial "Energy Column" and squinted his eyes.
Though the Spiritual Spring Eye seemed like Blue Star's gift to humanity, enhancing the strength of all humans, Su Yu knew that it was also one of the roots of humanity's suffering.
About an hour later, a Skuru spaceship would arrive here, occupy the Spiritual Spring Eye and build a base.
Humans not only failed to enjoy any benefits brought by the Spiritual Spring Eye, but the Skuru, using the energy from the spring eye, created a large number of terrifying monsters, causing great trouble to humans.
For this reason, Su Yu's absorption of the spiritual energy here is not only harmless to humans, but also undermines the power of the Skuru.
You could say it's killing two birds with one stone!
After seeing the spiritual energy spewing out from the ground, Su Yu quickly put on the game helmet.
"Enter the game!"
"Loading the 'Evolution' game..."
He heard the familiar game loading sound in his ear, and Su Yu's consciousness connected with the helmet, delving into the deep game world.
"Ding, we have detected spiritual energy materials in your surroundings, would you like to absorb them?"
"Yes!"
"Start absorbing, please wait."
In the outside world, the enormous celestial energy column seems to be attracted by an invisible force, all converging towards Su Yu on the mountaintop.
The endless spiritual energy enveloping him in layers was absorbed by the helmet.
In the game, Su Yu's "Spiritual Energy Value" panel was skyrocketing!
One hundred thousand!
One million!
Ten million!
One hundred million!
In the end, the "Spiritual Energy Value" stopped at the number ten billion.
Su Yu couldn't help but be astonished.
In his previous life, he had entered the game half a year later, and at that time, the spiritual energy value he acquired was only 11 points.
But now, ten billion!
"Detected spiritual energy is at the absorption limit, do you want to enter the game."
"Don't enter, exit the game!" Su Yu quickly made a decision.
That's because, in about an hour, Skuru spaceships will descend here, and he certainly doesn't want to be the first human captured by the Skuru.
After exiting the game, Su Yu took off his helmet.
Because the helmet had absorbed almost all of the spiritual energy nearby, the "Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye" to the north seemed lifeless, completely lacking the grand erupting momentum it had earlier.
Su Yu didn't care about this, he quickly grabbed the game helmet and ran down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, on the road, Su Yu got into his old car, stepped on the gas and left Yunlu Mountain behind.
...
An hour later, a crack several kilometers wide tore open in the sky above Yunlu Mountain.
A 200-meter long brown-gray spaceship descended on top of Yunlu Mountain.
Inside the spaceship, a Skuru female pilot with light green skin reported to her superior:
"Commander, anomaly detected in Giant Spiritual Spring Eye 001, its spewing volume is equivalent to a small Spiritual Spring Eye."
"How could this be?" The Skuru male commander sitting in the control room was taken aback: "Could it be that we landed in the wrong place?"
"No, sir. The coordinate data is completely normal."
"Well... let's just land here then, follow the orders from headquarters." The Skuru commander said.
"Understood."
