### Chapter 40: Heaven is Dead, Huang Tian Stands
A new world transformed from a necrotic realm?
Game strength can manifest in reality?
The overwhelming information washed over the six members of the Snow Leopard team, leaving them momentarily stunned. Just a week ago, Snow Leopard would have dismissed Su Yu's claims as nonsensical, but now, with alien spaceships hovering over 3732 psionic springs, his perspective had shifted dramatically. Su Yu's status as the first player in the game added to the weight of his words, making everything seem disturbingly plausible.
Su Yu maintained a gentle demeanor. "Yes, once players reach level 50, they can bring their strength and skills from the game into the real world. This is the gift of the Singer Civilization to us, the people of Blue Star."
"Singer Civilization." Hearing that name caused Snow Leopard to accept 80% of what Su Yu was saying as truth. The information about the Singer Civilization was highly classified, known only to top officials of the five permanent member states. If Su Yu could mention it, he likely possessed inside knowledge.
Snow Leopard discreetly signaled to his sister, Xuehualuo. She caught on quickly, her voice soft and inquisitive. "Master, who are you? How do you know all of this?"
Su Yu shook his head with a smile, turning his back to the group. He gazed up at the sky, speaking in a tone heavy with the weight of history. "We old fellows have lived too long. It wasn't until yesterday, when my psionic power revived, that I awoke memories long buried for over 1900 years."
"It's not important who I am, but perhaps you've heard something I said." He walked slowly forward, his figure resembling that of an ancient elder, and uttered softly, "The sky is dead; Huang Tian stands."
"When the year is in Jiazi, the world is prosperous."
As he finished speaking, Su Yu gradually faded from view, disappearing into the void.
"Xiao disappeared!" The range is the truth pointed at the spot where Su Yu had stood, bewildered. Could it be that this senior had transcended the essence of the game and reached a state of free will?
"The sky is dead; Huang Tian stands?" Steel Torrent March echoed, shocked. "Isn't that the slogan of the Yellow Turbans from the Three Kingdoms period?"
Xuehualuo trembled, her grip on her dagger faltering. "Could it be that Zhang Jiao, leader of the Yellow Turban Sect during the Three Kingdoms, didn't die? Instead, he has lived on until today? The Nemesis is Zhang Jiao?!"
"Is that even possible?" Snow Leopard's mind raced, grappling with the bizarre revelations of the day. Everything they thought they knew had been turned on its head, yet Su Yu's performance seemed all too genuine.
The six of them stood in silence at the entrance of Wolf King Valley for what felt like an eternity. Slowly, they began to regain their composure. Snow Leopard clasped his fists in the direction where Su Yu had vanished, grateful and serious. "I am deeply thankful to Senior Zhang for his guidance. If there is anything we can assist with in the future, it is our duty to help!"
But there was no response, only silence from the void ahead. Snow Leopard sighed and turned to his teammates. "This is far too significant! We must report this to our superiors immediately."
The others nodded vigorously, and Snow Leopard looked to Xuehualuo. "Luoluo, you can continue to play, but don't speak of what happened today!"
Xuehualuo nodded, still in a daze.
"And remember," Snow Leopard added, patting his sister's shoulder, "the plan to seduce the Nemesis is still on track! Work hard, and the organization will reward you with first-class merit upon success!"
Snowfall raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Snow Leopard spoke a few more words to his teammates before logging off, leaving the game behind.

Meanwhile, Su Yu began his leveling journey in the Wolf King Valley, where black and white wolves roamed freely.
**Howling Moon Wolf (lv10)**
**HP:** 140
Su Yu had reached level 7 and 13%. The Howling Moon Wolf's level 3 suppression reduced his damage by about 30-35%, but that didn't deter him. With his exceptional equipment and high-quality skills, even the Howling Moon Wolves fell before him, their bodies disintegrating under the might of his spells. He began to experiment with high-speed leather armor, relying on agility to draw monsters and level up efficiently.

As he leveled, Su Yu reflected on his meeting with Snow Leopard. His intention had been to relay the critical message to the government: that players could manifest their game powers upon reaching level 50. In reality, he couldn't afford to disclose such information, but in the game, he felt safe to speak freely, knowing that Snow Leopard would never unearth his true identity.
The fight against the Skrulls was a cause for all humanity. Despite his strength, Su Yu knew he could not face the entire Skrull civilization alone. His goal was to empower the people of Blue Star as swiftly as possible.
As for masquerading as Zhang Jiao, it served another purpose. With the revival of psionic energy, ancient powers were awakening once more. Blue Star had experienced a slow decline in psychic energy since the Anshi Rebellion during the Tang Dynasty, entering an era of decay. Many great figures from ancient times had survived, particularly from the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, and even the Three Kingdoms era.
By pretending to be Zhang Jiao, Su Yu sought to alert the relevant authorities: those ancient powers were returning, and it was time to plan accordingly. He hoped the message would not be lost on them.

At two in the afternoon, Zhong Feng (Snow Leopard), dressed in a crisp military uniform, paced anxiously outside a small conference room at the military headquarters.
Soon, the conference room door swung open, and several well-dressed officials emerged. However, they exchanged no words with him, only offering meaningful glances before turning away.
A weary voice called from within the conference room, "Zhong Feng, come in."
"Yes."
Zhong Feng stepped inside, his heart racing. "Commissar Zhang, what's the status on my report?" He had quickly compiled the details of his meeting with Su Yu into a report right after logging off.
Political Commissar Zhang rubbed his temples, his eyes bloodshot from sleepless nights. "Zhong Feng, take a seat." He gestured for Zhong Feng to sit beside him.
After Zhong Feng settled into his chair, Commissar Zhang continued, "We have had a preliminary discussion about your report, but I still have many questions regarding the details."
He straightened up, his eyes piercing as he looked at Zhong Feng. "For instance, your claim that Zhang Jiao from the Three Kingdoms period has survived to this day and become a master of gaming? Are you serious?"
