Yian District First Hospital

Yian District First Hospital.

Inside the special-care ward, a pale young man lay on a hospital bed covered with white medical bedding.

A beautifully dressed woman sat half-reclining in a family chair, her snow-white hands clasped tightly around one of the young man's hands as she murmured nonstop.

"Xiao Yu! It's all Mom's fault. I put too much pressure on you and made you train and study all day. Otherwise, you wouldn't have fainted at the Training Ground."

"I won't compare you to Xiao Ling anymore!"

"Ah! Xiao Yu, when will you wake up? The doctors have examined you so many times and found nothing wrong. It's already been three whole days. Why haven't you woken up yet...?"

The woman's low voice was tinged with sobs. Her eyes were swollen, clearly showing that she had been crying for quite some time.

Suddenly, the fingers of the young man, who had been lying rigidly still, twitched. The woman sensed the movement, and joy immediately bloomed across her tear-streaked, pretty face.

The young man slowly opened his eyes. He saw a pretty, bare-faced woman whose beauty could not be concealed. Her face was both familiar and strange.

"Mom, don't worry."

The words he had intended to ask came out as a call to his mother instead.

Although he had been unconscious for the past three days, he had not been completely unaware of the outside world. A day ago, he had gradually begun to sense some information from outside, and he had heard the woman's murmuring clearly just now. His body, however, had still been unable to move, much like being pinned down by a ghost.

The reason he had fallen unconscious three days ago was that, while practicing his punches and kicks at the Xiao Family Martial Arts School, a sentence had suddenly appeared in his mind.

Wish Fulfillment System successfully online. It is at your service!

Afterward, an enormous amount of remembered information surged into his mind, knocking him unconscious.

After three days of processing the information, his brain finally resumed functioning.

His original name was Xiao Yu. He came from a parallel world on Earth, a world in the midst of a human apocalypse.

Starting in 2025, Earth suffered various apocalyptic disasters. After enduring a series of super floods, super tsunamis, super earthquakes, and super volcanic eruptions over the course of three years, the global population fell from 7.5 billion to 3.3 billion.

But humanity's disaster was far from over. This was merely the Creator's first round of selection.

Immediately afterward, all the surviving humans were forced to enter a gigantic 360-story building known as the World Summit and clear its stages. Inside were all kinds of monsters, magical beasts, and Monster Beasts. These monsters would not respawn, but they could give birth to offspring.

In other words, the later one cleared the stages, the more monsters there would be inside, and the harder clearing them would become.

The World Summit was like a being capable of using a multiple-shadow-clone technique. Each person's challenge was separate.

Every cleared floor granted generous rewards, including various cultivation manuals, weapons, mechanical equipment, and other resources.

After fifty years of bitter struggle and finally killing the boss guarding the hundredth floor, Xiao Yu obtained this Wish Fulfillment System.

From then on, his clearing speed rose rapidly. In ten years, he cleared all 360 stages. He had thought that he would finally gain his freedom.

He had not expected that after leaving the World Summit, he would be teleported to a battlefield where all races vied for supremacy. There were countless experts stronger than him on that battlefield, and in his very first battle against the Demon Race, he was instantly killed by a Squad Leader.

Fortunately, the Soul Gem he had obtained earlier was already bound to him, allowing him to transmigrate his soul into this world.

The price of this soul transmigration was the disappearance of the Soul Gem, which had previously provided him with an endless supply of soul power.

Somewhat confused memories left him unable to determine whether he had transmigrated into this body three days ago or had already done so eighteen years ago, when he was born.

Regardless, he was now in control of this body.

According to his memories, his predecessor was also named Xiao Yu, and the person who had been murmuring beside the bed was his mother, Xu Jingyi.

"R virus outbreak!"

"RR virus!"

"Hunting monsters in the Wilderness Zone!"

"Warrior! Warlord! War God!"

These fragments of information that flashed through his mind from time to time all indicated that this was the world of Devouring the Starry Sky.

I never thought I would come to the world of the original novel that was famous across the globe before the apocalypse. Xiao Yu thought silently.

"Doctor, my son is awake!" Xu Jingyi shouted as she ran out.

Her loud voice interrupted Xiao Yu's thoughts.

Soon, a middle-aged doctor in a white coat arrived in the ward, pushing a monitoring device, and waved it over Xiao Yu's entire body.

"The patient in bed 01205 has normal vital signs. He can be discharged."

With the nurse's assistance, Xu Jingyi quickly completed the discharge procedures, then drove Xiao Yu home in her new-energy supercar.

In the car, Xiao Yu constantly recalled the contents of his memories. Considering that he had only just awakened and needed to rest, Xu Jingyi did not disturb him.

In his previous life, he had been a novel enthusiast. Naturally, he was very familiar with the globally famous Devouring the Starry Sky. He had read the original novel four or five times and understood this world extremely well.

Devouring the Starry Sky had an enormous worldview. In 2013, an R virus influenza outbreak occurred on Earth, and during its spread, the R virus evolved into more than twenty variants.

In January 2015, the R virus evolved into its most terrifying variant: the RR virus.

As soon as the RR virus appeared, it spread rapidly across the globe. Every living thing on Earth, whether human or bird and beast, as long as it needed to breathe, was infected by the RR virus.

The mortality rate of RR virus infections was extremely high, reaching nearly 30%. In just three months, most of the world's animals died, while the global population plummeted by nearly two billion!

The five billion survivors all developed antibodies in their bodies, and nearly every human saw all their physical attributes increase by more than double.

The birds and beasts improved by far more than humans did. Some monsters even developed intelligence no lower than that of humans.

The war between humans and monsters began. It was not limited to land; the endless monsters in the oceans also joined the war.

During that bloody, frenzied war, humanity used every weapon available, including nuclear bombs. Not only did they fail to stop the monsters, but a succession of extraordinarily powerful birds and beasts emerged among them, such as the Blood Demon Heavenly Wolf.

A group of super Warriors also emerged among humans, including "Hong" and "Thor." At critical moments, these powerhouses saved countless civilians and assisted the military in resisting the monster hordes.

It was not until March 2021, when humanity developed the ultra-high-frequency Laser Cannon and successively killed more than ten S-class Monsters and two SS-class Monsters, that the war finally ended.

This led to the current situation of the Five Great Nations and twenty-three cities.

The five-and-a-half-year period from September 2015 to March 2021 was known as the Great Nirvana Period.

It was now May 2056, more than thirty years after the end of the Great Nirvana Period.

His thoughts were interrupted when his body involuntarily lurched forward. His memories of more than ten years of riding in cars told him that they had arrived home.

He stepped out of the car and looked at the villa before him, brimming with a futuristic sense of technology. He sighed inwardly.

The life he had dreamed of in his previous life had now become his daily routine.

Although Xu Jingyi was not a Warrior, Xiao Yu's father, Xiao Dingguo, was a General-level Warrior. He had also joined the Limit Martial Arts School, which was how he had obtained the right to live in Mingyue Residential Area in Yangzhou City.

"Xiao Yu, I heard from Auntie that you've been discharged. Your big sister came to see you right away."

A tall, doll-faced girl in a tight black training outfit charged into the living room and stared Xiao Yu up and down as he slumped on the sofa watching television. "You look pretty healthy!"

Looking at the girl before him, Xiao Yu was somewhat speechless. This mischievous girl was none other than his older sister, Xiao Ling. "Sis, can't you wish me well for once?"

"I heard you passed out from overtraining while practicing martial arts. Little brother, listen to me: don't compare yourself to your big sister. I'm a genius. With my high talent, I passed the Warrior assessment three months ago and became an official Warrior. There aren't many eighteen-year-old Warriors in the entire Base City."

"Sis, have you been to the Wilderness Zone?" Xiao Yu asked curiously. Although they were cousins, he was facing the Gaokao, and his schedule of studying and practicing martial arts had been packed tight. Especially now, with the Gaokao next month, he simply had no time to pay attention to anything else.

Now that his memories had awakened, he not only possessed countless combat experiences, but the accompanying system had also come back online. Of course, he could take a brief breather and learn more about the situation after becoming a Warrior.

"Of course. After becoming a Warrior, I joined the Limit Martial Arts School. Through our father's introduction, I entered an all-female Warlord squad. After a month of training, we began our expeditions into the Wilderness Zone..."

"Uncle became a War God powerhouse last year. The squad he introduced sounds pretty good!"

"Our squad is called the Tough Rose Team. The captain is Hu Ya, an Advanced General-level Warrior. She used to be a member of my father's squad, but later, for some reason, she went independent and formed a team exclusively for women. She definitely takes good care of me!"

Xiao Ling became more and more excited as she spoke. "Our team usually spends a month hunting outside and a month resting. We're currently on leave, but I'll be gathering with them again the day after tomorrow to head out."

"Sis, be careful when you're away from home. You have to watch out not only for those monsters, but also for the danger posed by other humans."

Xiao Yu understood the dangers of the wilderness and was even more familiar with Luo Feng's fate in the original story. Although Luo Feng had not yet become a Warrior, the Tiger Tooth Squad was certainly not the only squad that made money by hunting humans, so he reminded her.

"Thanks for worrying about me, little brother. I'll be careful. Speaking of which, I made quite a bit of money on this expedition—more than eight million Huaxia Coins. This is the first time I've ever earned so much money with my own hands!"

Xiao Ling was thrilled. She even smacked Xiao Yu twice on the head. He tried to dodge, but failed. The difference in their strength had already become clear.
