Metropolis Alien King

如果这个世界上真的有超能力,那么人类的自我意识将是一种超能力,可以说是最伟大的超能力.高明坐在破旧的院子里,双手托着下巴,茫然地盯着井边的滑轮支架.他的表情是沮丧的.他无法理解,一夜之间,他是如何从一个23岁的男人变成一个10岁的孩子的.这是多么令人费解的转折!叹了口气,他年轻脸上的细纹皱成了一堆.他从地上捡起一块小石头,挥舞着小胳膊,扔进了井里.嗯,准确性还不错.回到正题,他的前世充满了痛苦,没有什么值得回忆的.唯一让他沮丧的是,他再也见不到家人了.从23岁重生到10岁,这并不是一件令人痛苦的事情.毕竟,他的心灵保留了十几年的经验,也算是多活了十年的奖励.然而,令他烦恼的是,他似乎没有重生到自己的过去或他所知道的熟悉的时代.相反,他发现自己置身于一个非常陌生的古代世界.瞧瞧他穿的衣服——麻布衣服,洗得发白.就连他前世街头小贩的廉价商品也更加精致.虽然耐用,但穿着不舒服,导致皮肤发痒.如果他转生在一个普通的古代世界,考虑到他过去二十年的经历,这是可以忍受的.然而,让他烦恼到吐血的是,这个世界远非平凡.这太不同了,让高明头皮发麻.所有这一切都要追溯到他在夺取这具身体的控制权时获得的记忆.无独有偶,这具身体的原主也姓了高明,给他带来了几分安心.毕竟,他已经带着这个名字二十多年了.如果一切都被改变了,那将是令人不安的.至少,这是他前世父母给他起的名字.突然重生在这个超级大国的世界里,给他的过去带来了一些感慨.最让他担心的是,他缺乏这个世界上最基本的生存技能.说到基本的生存技能,值得一提的是他现在重生的世界的非凡本质.他对这个世界的理解是根据他在控制不幸的灵魂时获得的记忆而编纂的.虽然这些回忆有些令人心疼,描绘了比旧社会贫困群众更悲惨的生活,但它们却让他对这个世界有了狭隘的理解.超级大国大陆.这就是高明现在居住的世界.光是这个名字就表明它既不简单也不普通.这个世界文明的主题不是以机械技术或奇幻小说中的魔法修炼为中心.它甚至没有资格成为以近战武器为主的文明.相反,这是一个超级大国占据主导地位的世界.超级大国.高明第一次得知这个消息时所感受到的兴奋,超过了吸毒.没有办法——前世看过那么多小说,如果不知道超能力是什么,还不如把头砸在一块豆腐上.尽管豆腐在这个世界上不是什么东西,但高明永远不会忘记豆腐的美味,豆腐是一种来自人类界的美味佳肴.在这个超级大国占主导地位的世界里,没有超级大国就意味着没有权利.没有超能力,一个人只能像低人一等一样生活.面对这个事实,高明傻眼了.难道他穿越时空和重生,只是为了在这次自由的平行世界之旅中体验一个被他人践踏的低等生物的生活吗?这真是令人沮丧.高明差点精神崩溃,想把头撞在墙上.然而,他被现在担任他母亲的美丽女人的哭泣和恳求阻止了.就在他发呆的时候"高明,还在做白日梦!"一个温柔颤抖的女声从身后传来,紧接着是一只温柔得令人叹为观止的美手,轻轻抚摸着高明的小脸.高明面前出现了一个二十六岁左右的妖娆女子.她的脸庞,像花朵一样娇嫩,带着深深的担忧.一双水汪汪的眼睛,充满了无限的深情,紧张地注视着他.这个妖娆的女人,就是高明现在的母亲——李青."有什么不舒服的吗?告诉妈妈!李青抱着高明,仿佛怀里抱着一件珍贵的宝贝.她紧张的表情会让任何人的心都颤动.好在高明没有看到这一点,他的目光一直盯着前方.尽管如此,空气中淡淡的香味还是令人愉快的.虽然被这么一个迷人的女人抱着感觉有点尴尬,但他毕竟是她的儿子.一个小小的拥抱没什么大不了的.而且,在这个妖娆的女人的怀抱里,更是一种放纵.It had to be said that Li Qing's figure was impeccable—slender where it should be, voluptuous where it needed to be, pert where it should be, and astonishingly captivating where it needed to be... Witnessed by the heavens, he was merely appreciating beauty from a man's perspective, without any dirty thoughts!"Mother, I'm fine."Regardless, even though his soul belonged to the parents of his past life, the body now belonged to Li Qing. Calling her 'Mother' wasn't a big deal. Moreover, in this unfamiliar world, where he was stumbling in the dark without any reliance and lacked even basic survival skills, having this relative to depend on wasn't a painful thing. If he truly had been reborn as an orphan without any support, Gao Ming would probably have smashed his head against a wall long ago.So, the emotions between people did have some use. Although the mother-son bond between them seemed fragile, it was still a notion and a dependence. Now, Gao Ming had the desire to continue living.Li Qing gently stroked Gao Ming's hair, looking at her still dazed son with an indescribable sadness. "It's good that you're okay. Mother is satisfied as long as you're safe and sound. Gao Ming, don't go to the big courtyard in the future, understand!"Gao Ming understood Li Qing's implication. The ability to take over a body might be related to the incident from last time.He obediently nodded, having thoughts not to worry Li Qing and a hint of genuine fear. After all, terrifying individuals resided in that big courtyard. Although he hadn't personally experienced the incident, the memory left a lingering fear. His predecessor had accidentally entered the big courtyard and was almost killed by a superpowered youngster. In that big courtyard, where superpowered individuals held sway, the status of an ordinary servant-born child was non-existent. Superpowered individuals could kill someone like him as easily as crushing an ant, without needing any reason.Gao Ming's identity was quite complex. His father, Gao Bo, was the legitimate second son of Gao, the tribal chief of the Yuan clan. Born with superpowers, he possessed the inheritance right of the tribal chief. Although the Yuan clan was a tiny tribe on the Superpower Continent, with just over ten thousand members, being the heir to the tribal chief carried significant weight.In theory, as the heir to the tribal chief, Gao Ming's status should be high. However, the Superpower Continent didn't operate based on social status. The size of one's ability determined a person's position within the tribe and even on the Superpower Continent.This ability was known as superpowers.So, superpowers became the fundamental factor influencing the social structure of the Superpower Continent. A strict tribal rule prevailed throughout the continent—only superpowered individuals could formally marry. Other ordinary people could only exist as dependents. In other words, a male superpowered individual could only marry a female superpowered individual as a primary wife. Ordinary women could only have the status of concubines or servants, regardless of their backgrounds.Superpowered individuals had to marry other superpowered individuals; this was for a reason. The offspring born from their union had a higher probability of awakening superpowers compared to the offspring of unions between ordinary people or an ordinary person and a superpowered individual. Superpowered individuals were the dominant force on the Superpower Continent, essential for the survival of each tribe. The number of superpowered individuals determined the tribe's status on the continent. It was impossible not to prioritize this, and not everyone had the opportunity to become a superpowered individual.Gao Ming's father was a superpowered individual, but his superpowers couldn't awaken, which was quite normal. Even among the offspring born to superpowered parents, there was a considerable portion that couldn't awaken superpowers. However, compared to children born to concubines like Gao Ming, their destinies were much better because they had a mother with a high status to care for them.Li Qing was just a concubine with a status lower than that of a wife. In the tribe, she had no status, and consequently, Gao Ming, born to her, also had a lowly status.In Gao Ming's memory, he had never seen what his father Gao Bo looked like.Of course, the children born to concubines were not necessarily destined for a humble status. There was a chance to change their fate, and that was by awakening superpowers. Unfortunately, Gao Ming's predecessor not only didn't awaken superpowers innately but also failed to do so in the two artificial superpower awakening ceremonies. The older he got, the smaller the chance of awakening, and even if he did, the potential of his superpowers would be weak.This was the reason for Gao Ming's frustration and despair. Without superpowers for self-defense, in this superpower-dominated world, he was nothing.Li Qing was just a fragile woman with a lowly status in the tribe. Naturally, she didn't have the ability to make Gao Ming's life better. The fates of the mother and son were intertwined from the moment Gao Ming was born.The two pitiful mother and son depended on each other until the sky gradually darkened.Li Qing gently patted Gao Ming's back, softly saying, "Gao Ming, the ceremony for the awakening of superpowers will begin in a few days. Rest well these days; this is your last chance. Ah!" Her tone carried deep helplessness. Even though the hope was faint, there was still a glimmer. The awakening ceremony for children of this age was rare, but not unheard of.The age range for superpower awakening was between two and ten years old. Once past this age range, the chances were slim. However, it wasn't absolute. Throughout history, there were cases of individuals awakening superpowers at an older age. But the probability was tiny, with perhaps one in a million.There was a category of individuals who innately awakened superpowers during the superpower awakening stage. Their potential was often astonishingly great. Each innately superpowered individual was a treasure in their respective tribes. If protected properly, they could achieve tremendous accomplishments in the future, far surpassing those who artificially awakened superpowers.Ninety-nine percent of superpower experts in each tribe were innately superpowered individuals.Gao Ming was already ten years old. This awakening ceremony would be his last chance. If he still couldn't awaken superpowers, his fate for this lifetime would be decided.As Li Qing spoke, Gao Ming's heart gradually grew heavier. Yes, this was his final chance. The last opportunity for a dragon to transform or remain a worm.
