Far East, Changkong City.
Inside an ordinary apartment building, a handsome, exceptionally dashing young man sat on the living room sofa, watching the daily news playing on the LCD television—
Yesterday, renowned scientist Dr. Mobius published her latest paper, "The Evolution of Life." Its views on "immortality" had sparked widespread discussion.
Famous musician Ms. Eden would begin her first world tour tomorrow, and countless fans said tickets were nearly impossible to get.
To save the declining entertainment industry, Schicksal announced its entry into show business!
Recently, Inazuma announced the lifting of its 648-year isolation policy. This meant that every nation on Blue Star had become connected, opening a new chapter of humanity's shared development!
A brief advertisement: Penacony, the land of grand festivities, would soon celebrate its hundredth anniversary. The Reverie Hotel would be launching a new round of major promotions, so visitors were urged to make their purchases quickly.
Ye Li quietly watched the familiar figures appear on the screen. He raised a hand as if to touch them, then lowered it again with a soft sigh.
This was a peaceful era without the smoke of war, where people lived and worked in contentment.
But no one knew.
There had once been an unnamed Hero who endured countless hardships and gave everything he had to create this prosperous, radiant age.
Walking through the river of history, Ye Li had witnessed it all with his own eyes and personally taken part in it.
In that hopeless world,
he had been lost, afraid, and saved.
He had once joined the world-saving organization known as Fire Moth, becoming a Fusion Warrior who fought and killed for humanity's future.
He had also been hailed alongside a certain flat-chested adeptus as a guardian of Shenzhou, protecting one region.
To preserve human civilization, he had been forced to cross blades with former friends.
Though years of battle had left his body on the verge of breaking apart, wherever the disaster known as Honkai descended, he would appear.
Whether on the freezing Siberian Plateau or aboard colossal warships in the skies.
Whether in the Dominion Theater filled with despair or the Elysian Realm that symbolized beauty.
Whether in the boundless Sea of Quanta or beneath the Imaginary Tree that veiled the cosmos.
Every one of those places bore traces of his battles.
He had defeated Honkai, destroyed The Heavenly Principles, and carried out Trailblaze...
Along the way, Ye Li had gained the power, wealth, and fame people could only dream of...
But in return, he had also lost much.
If life was a journey, then it was bound to have an endpoint.
To make the world into what they had hoped for, to let them live the lives they had dreamed of, to fulfill the promises he had once made to them...
Ye Li chose to sacrifice everything and make a wish to the being known as The Supreme, restarting that broken world.
At the edge of death—
Ye Li seemed to see his greatest teacher gazing at him with gentle eyes, saying nothing.
That man known as the "World's Number One Pure Love War God" had even tried to crawl out of his grave just to share another drink with him...
Unfortunately, before he could crawl out, an irresistible force smashed him viciously back into his coffin.
The three young women who had once fought at his side, though unbearably reluctant to part, still said with easy grace, "Farewell. May you find a harbor where you can rest."
The thirteen friends from the distant past even crossed the long river of time to convey their longing to him.
Finally, at the moment Ye Li closed his eyes, he seemed to see that flawless girl looking at him with incomparable tenderness. "The finale of the Heroes must be grand and magnificent. Goodbye, my friend. This is a story that exists because of you...?"
Everything was finally over.
By sacrificing all of his power and erasing the concept of "existence," Ye Li restarted that battered, hole-ridden world at the cost of being forgotten by it.
The unnamed Hero who had once saved the world vanished from everyone's memories. No one could remember him anymore.
After everything restarted, the savior named Ye Li was erased by the world, leaving behind only an ordinary human named Ye Li.
Having finished his mission as a savior, Ye Li returned to a quiet, ordinary life.
In the past, he had worked 24/7 without rest for the sake of the world, serving as a savior for who knew how many years.
But in this life, he only wanted to be an ordinary high school student and enjoy this hard-won, beautiful daily life.
Everything seemed peaceful, except...
Ding. You have a new message. Please check it.
Dear tenant, your rent and utility bill for this month totals 2,524.62 yuan. Please pay it in full before the end of the month.
Looking at the payment reminder on his phone, Ye Li shook his head helplessly.
Who would have thought that he, a savior, would one day be stumped by such a trivial material concern?
Still, that was only inevitable. After all, he was no longer the savior who carried human civilization on his shoulders.
Now, he was merely an ordinary high school student.
A high school student living in poverty was normal... my ass!
With that thought, Ye Li suddenly sprang out of his lounging posture and started cursing at the empty room.
"I've made contributions to humanity! I've shed blood for humanity! You don't have to make me filthy rich, but couldn't you at least let me get through this life peacefully?"
"What?! You still want me to be a savior?! Don't even think about it!"
"Even if I starve to death, even if I die out on the street, I will never be some damn savior again!"
"I, Ye Li, only want to be an ordinary high school student in this life!"
After saying that, Ye Li picked up the schoolbag from the sofa and left his apartment without looking back.
But what Ye Li did not know was that shortly after he left, a video suddenly appeared on major video platforms and climbed to the top of the trending charts within minutes.
And as that video exploded in popularity, Ye Li's peaceful life would never be the same again.
