Mid-Autumn Full Moon, Human Race's Hundred Battles!

Earth, China War Zone, Jiangnan Base City First High School.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional holiday said to be a day of reunion dating back a thousand years to Earth's China. But now, it is the day when all adult members of Earth's myriad races enter the Haotian Tower to participate in the novice trial!

"Xu Kun!"

On the school playground, the homeroom teachers of each graduating class were calling out the names of their students.

Standing in the last row, Xu Kun heard the teacher's voice and stepped forward. The homeroom teacher nodded at him, and then the class monitor handed him a metal bracelet!

The young man named Xu Kun was 1.88 meters tall, with a well-proportioned, golden-ratio physique, steady eyes, and a handsome appearance. Just standing there gave people a sense of reassurance and reliability!

The moment he stepped forward, the boys looked at him with envy, while the girls' faces flushed with infatuation. If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, they would have all wanted to cling to him!

There was no other reason than that Xu Kun, as a graduating student, had a good appearance, a good personality, a good physique, good grades, and good physical training!

Apart from his family background, he was practically a pentagon warrior. Such a man was undoubtedly the dream lover of many women!

Faced with a variety of complex gazes, Xu Kun didn't take it to heart. He thanked the class monitor and fastened the metal bracelet on his arm!

With the last student's bracelet distributed, the homeroom teacher began his final speech.

"From the moment you stepped into the school, you have been preparing for this day!"

"The road ahead is full of difficulties. You will face everything that is not recorded in detail in textbooks. The future will depend on you to forge!"

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready!" The forty-nine students in the class said in unison.

Entering the Haotian Tower is not only to fight for one's own survival, but also to fight for the Human Race, which has been oppressed by the myriad races for thousands of years!

We have an inescapable duty!

The homeroom teacher nodded with satisfaction: "Before the bright moon hangs in the sky, as your homeroom teacher, I still have to repeat the bitter history of our Human Race for thousands of years!"

Everyone held their breath and focused. Even though they had heard the homeroom teacher's words countless times, they still maintained a solemn expression at this moment.

A thousand years ago, the Haotian Tower descended upon Earth from beyond the sky, plunging into the center of the Pacific Ocean, reaching the sky and standing on the ground, vast and boundless. Starting with the tsunami that destroyed Japan, human civilization began a new era!

While still dealing with the various natural disasters caused by the descent of the Haotian Tower, humans did not expect that the myriad races would follow closely behind, descending upon Earth by piloting spacecraft similar to asteroids!

Translated from the mouths of the myriad races that descended on Earth, Earth humans obtained a new term.

Ancestral Star!

Meaning: Earth is the ancestral land of the myriad races!

"Plate movement, the original Earth, after various asteroid collisions, its volume and mass increased by an unknown number of times, but the natural disasters this caused were only the beginning for humans..."

The original six continents merged into one, becoming a remote corner. Just how big the expanded Earth was, the original Earth overlord, humanity, had not yet been able to figure out!

Gravity, species, climate, and other originally stable factors were also developing in an unknowable direction!

"In the turbulent century that followed, the powerful myriad races, like invaders, began to slaughter the Earth humans who were still in a backward civilization. Lives were ruined, and Earth humans were slaughtered like pigs and dogs..."

This was the Dark Age!

From the hundreds of billions of people on Earth before the descent of the Haotian Tower, after a century of slaughter, less than a billion survived!

Fortunately, with the plate movement, the original continents of Earth merged, and the remaining Earth humans began to huddle together for warmth, surviving in the cracks between the myriad races!

Nine hundred years ago, the Haotian Tower shone brightly on Earth. The supreme power pursued by the myriad races was in the Haotian Tower. The first batch of pioneers of the already unified Human Race also entered the Haotian Tower. One battle... annihilation, the Human Race suffered another heavy blow!

"Eight hundred years ago, the SSS-rank trial participant, Human Race's Cang God, was born, suppressing his peers and fighting for a glimmer of hope for the Human Race. The name of the Human Race entered the eyes of the myriad races for the first time..."

"Seven hundred years ago, the SSS-rank trial participant, Pangu, held a giant axe and split the chaos, reclaiming wasteland for our Human Race..."

"Six hundred years ago, the SSS-rank trial participant, Lord Xuanyuan, along with the SS-rank trial participants Cangjie, Hanba, and others, inherited the ambitions of Cang God and Pangu, and expanded our Human Race's territory..."

Five hundred years ago, the SSS-rank trial participant, Kite God, was born, and the SSS-rank trial participant Odin of the same era shone brightly...

"Four hundred years ago, the SSS-rank trial participant Zeus returned with the gods, opening the Human Race's golden age!"

"Three hundred years ago, the Human Race's glory was no more, and there was a lack of successors. This generation did not produce an SSS-rank trial participant, and the Human Race era created by the predecessors was suppressed by the myriad races..."

"Two hundred years ago, the SSS-rank trial participant, the Fighting Martial Saint, broke through the air and came to support our Human Race!"

"One hundred years ago, the SSS-rank trial participant, Sky Eye, observed the world, represented our Human Race in negotiations with the myriad races, and attached itself to the Black Tortoise Race, one of the seven Royal Races, allowing our Human Race to no longer be bullied by the myriad races, and to establish war zones and base cities on the land beneath our feet, so that the Human Race's fire could be passed down!"

It was not until a hundred years ago, under the leadership of the great man "Sky Eye," that the Human Race officially entered the myriad races' ranks as a subsidiary race of the Black Tortoise Race!

"To this day, our Human Race has once again grown to a population of six billion, relying on the merits of our ancestors. After many hardships, our Human Race finally has a place and no longer has to be bullied by the myriad races!"

"Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. Using our Human Race's thousand-year new civilization history as a reference, we can conclude that every hundred years, our Human Race will produce SSS-rank talent powerhouses!"

"Tonight marks not only a once-in-a-century era for our Human Race's new civilization history, but also the thousandth year since the Haotian Tower descended upon Earth!"

"Sky Eye has already issued a divine decree that the rise and fall of the Human Race will depend on this generation of seeds!"

Sky Eye's divine decree is famous even among the myriad races. He seems to be omniscient and omnipotent, able to observe all things in the world. All Earth humans regard his words as the golden rule!

The homeroom teachers of other classes were repeating the same words. The playground was noisy!

The master of the era may be among these seed students who have been protected and grown up to this day!

Who wouldn't want to be the savior who saves the people from fire and water!

Even if they don't become the savior who appears once every hundred years, past experience suggests that a large number of powerful followers will emerge behind each generation of SSS trial participants!

Xu Kun could clearly feel that when each generation's Era Master was mentioned, the surroundings became noisy, and the atmosphere became unusually lively.

"Hey, Kun Kun, I have a question!"

Beside him, Xu Kun's best friend, Hao Jian, who was as fat as a ball, tugged at his sleeve and said.

"Spit it out!"

Hao Jian touched his nose and said, "According to past experience, a human with an SSS-grade talent for Era Master is born every century, but why did the Iris Goddess and the God of Light Odin appear at the same time five hundred years ago, while no one appeared three hundred years ago?"

Xu Kun frowned, "Who can say for sure about such things!"

Every Era Master has to go through the trials of knives and fire. Perhaps the Era Master born three hundred years ago was strangled by the myriad races who were wary of the rise of the human race...

This is what the textbooks don't record in detail. If you want to know, you have to climb the Haotian Tower yourself. When you stand at the peak of the world, there will be no more secrets in your eyes!

"Hey, Kun Kun, I have another question!"

"Why are you so talkative!" Xu Kun said speechlessly.

"Hehe, isn't the moon still not up yet? What talent do you think we will awaken?"

"Do you think I might be the Era Master?"

"Actually, I don't care whether I become an Era Master or not, because Era Masters are too tiring. On the contrary, their followers can thrive under their protection. Wouldn't it be great if I could become a follower of an Era Master?"

"Kun Kun, why aren't you talking?"

Xu Kun's face darkened, and after holding it in for a long time, he said, "You're dreaming!"

After thousands of years of exploration, humanity has made milestone progress in the study of the Haotian Tower!

Those who enter the Haotian Tower for the first time will awaken corresponding talents!

The highest is the SSS-grade talent of the Era Master, and the lowest is the F-grade talent that turns them into cannon fodder!

There are nine levels of talent in total: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, and F!

Unlike the small upper and lower limits of the myriad races' talents, human talents can be described as diverse and vastly different!

Not counting the SSS-grade talent that appears on average once every century, the number of SS-grade talents awakened by the human race each year is very few. In the years when no SSS-grade talents are born, they rely on the leadership of SS-grade trial-takers to compete for Haotian Tower resources!

S-grade can be the peak seed of the human race, and A-grade is the backbone of the human race's future!

Less than one in a million awaken SS-grade each year, less than one in a hundred thousand awaken S-grade, and less than one in ten thousand awaken A-grade!

B, C, and D are the norm, accounting for 90% of the proportion according to calculations.

E and F are the bottom-level trial-takers. There are also such low-level talent races among the myriad races, but they are either reduced to food for the myriad races or have been completely absorbed by the Haotian Tower, becoming monsters inside, at the mercy of others!

These types of talent trial-takers... may not even be able to pass the novice trial!

Xu Kun was not overly ambitious, nor did he fantasize about becoming an Era Master. As long as he could awaken a talent above B-grade, he could fight for the human race until his death!

"Every hundred years, an Era Master appears. The human race should be able to achieve good results in the novice trial. Mom this year... should be safe!"

Xu Kun clenched his fists. His mother was the lowest-level F-grade trial-taker. She barely passed the novice trial, so she wouldn't be permanently trapped in the Haotian Tower. But since he could remember, every year, in the week after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he lived in fear of possibly losing his mother!

"Damn Haotian Tower!"

Boom!

After Xu Kun cursed, the whole place boiled, and a phantom fell from the sky!

Looking at the time, 6:15 p.m., looking east, the full moon of August 15th rose like a jade plate, and the moonlight fell on the land of the Eastern Eighth District!

(PS: Don't ask what to do if it rains during the Mid-Autumn Festival~ Just say it warmed you for a thousand years!)

The projection of the Haotian Tower also continued to solidify after absorbing the moonlight. Even though they had seen it many times, they were still shocked by this scene.

Especially since he was one of the people entering the tower this year!

"Everyone, get ready, relax your body and mind. When the moonlight shines on your shoulders, the Haotian Tower will naturally lead you away!"

"The wristband records what our human ancestors saw and gained in the novice trial. Be sure to make good use of it!"

"Although it's unrealistic, as your homeroom teacher, I still want to give you a blessing... come back safely!"

Speaking of this, Xu Kun's homeroom teacher's eyes were already red.

He had been a homeroom teacher for ten years, sending off ten cohorts of students. Half of them either failed to pass the novice trial and never left the tower again, or died on the myriad races' battlefield. Less than a third could still be contacted!

Xu Kun silently closed his eyes, and the moonlight shone on his entire body, making him flawless!

The light enveloped the entire time zone. In the sky, the projection of the Haotian Tower shattered. The teachers on the playground dared not look directly at the sudden burst of strong light. When they opened their eyes again, the playground, which was originally crowded with people, was already empty!

Xu Kun's homeroom teacher collapsed to the ground as if exhausted, muttering, "One week, you must all come back safely!"

Xu Kun opened his eyes again, and the front of him was pitch black.

"Is this the awakening space?"

He could clearly feel a sense of being spied on. Before long, a cold, emotionless voice sounded, and the description in it made Xu Kun's face turn pale.

Ding, Human Xu Kun, body scan complete, awakening talent: F-grade...
