[Brain Storage Area].
The year 2100 AD.
Ten years ago, the outbreak of the spiritual energy revival triggered the Apocalypse Outbreak. Zombies appeared, and demonic beasts emerged across vast areas.
The world underwent a drastic change.
From that day onward, countless zombies and demonic beasts began attacking humanity furiously, turning the entire human world into a wasteland.
For five years, humanity struggled to hold out against the zombies and demonic beasts. Yet strangely enough, the further things progressed, the less the demonic beasts and zombies feared conventional weapons. They even reached the point of becoming completely immune to them.
During those five years, humanity suffered heavy casualties. The population had plummeted from its original twenty billion to fifteen billion.
Under such dire circumstances, the world's leaders without exception ordered everyone to enter the Underground Cities.
For the next five years, humanity was forced to live underground, struggling to survive while searching for a way to resolve the Apocalypse Outbreak and deal with the demonic beasts.
Then, after five years had passed—
In other words, in 2110, the tenth year after the Apocalypse Outbreak, a news announcement began popping up on the computers in every room of the Underground Cities.
"At eight this morning, the official staff of the online game Primordial World will explain the detailed procedures and plans for entering the official open beta. We hope everyone will attend on time!"
That was right. At seven o'clock that morning, every person living in the Underground Cities across Earth discovered a bracelet emitting a pale-blue glow on their wrist. Immediately afterward, a stream of consciousness was transmitted into the minds of every human being.
This stream of consciousness informed everyone that the bracelet which had appeared on their wrists was the Game Login Device for the online game Primordial World. All humans could enter this online game, and the levels, strength, powerful techniques, and items they cultivated or obtained inside could all be brought into reality to fight against the Apocalypse Outbreak.
After hearing the stream of consciousness, countless people thought it was a prank. But less than ten minutes later, the authorities urgently began pushing news onto everyone's computers, announcing that the matter concerning the online game Primordial World was real. Moreover, the official bigshots had already conducted an internal test a few days earlier, and all the data truly existed.
At nine this morning, the public beta for all of humanity to log into Primordial World would begin. Therefore, at eight o'clock, every country would broadcast a nationwide livestream explaining the basic issues involved in entering the game.
At this moment.
Dragon Country, Dragon City.
A temporary chat group called the [Primordial World Discussion Group] quickly accumulated more than 999 messages. It was all because today's incident was simply too shocking.
"Do you think this thing is reliable?"
"Why do I feel like everything that happened today has completely exceeded my understanding? It feels like a dream!"
"The international forces and the authorities reacted way too quickly! Ever since seven this morning, the news about Primordial World hasn't stopped!"
"Just wait and see! We'll know everything at nine today. Didn't the authorities and the stream of consciousness in our heads say that nine this morning is the official login time for Primordial World?"
Listening to the constant dinging of message notifications, Ye Tian slowly woke up.
He slowly sat up from his prone position. Looking at the tiny room of less than twenty square meters in front of him and smelling the mold in the corner, while seeing the faded toothbrush cup that had already been used for who knew how long, he couldn't help but freeze.
"Have I been reborn? Reborn twenty years in the past?!"
Thinking about how, over the following twenty years, he had continuously fought in the game Primordial World and slaughtered demonic beasts and zombies in the real world, eventually becoming one of the top three strongest people in the human world before joining the final battle with humanity's hopes and ultimately dying, he couldn't help but freeze again.
"It really happened..."
After confirming it several times, Ye Tian's body slowly began to tremble. This was the state brought about by disbelief and excitement.
Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
He clenched his fists.
Because he had remembered the scene from his previous life: his family, relatives, friends, and teachers being killed by demonic beasts.
"Since I've been reborn, I absolutely won't let this happen again!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked toward the computer screen.
Time: 7:58.
There were two minutes left before Dragon Country's livestream began. However, he had no time to watch any livestream now.
With the memories of his previous life, he knew very well that although the Primordial World online game could bring all its items into reality to fight the Apocalypse Outbreak—
At the same time, it was also a great reshuffling of all humanity!
Even the internal-test personnel had no idea how difficult the Primordial World online game truly was.
That was because even the internal-test personnel didn't know that when Primordial World truly entered its public beta, the strength of all the demonic beasts, all the NPCs, and all the countless bigshots of the Primordial World would be countless times greater than during the internal test!
Without joining together for warmth, it was impossible for a person to level up alone!
He remembered very clearly that on this very day in his previous life, when all the players logged into the game at the same time, five billion people died and were sent straight back to the fountain, after which they had to begin cultivating again.
There was only one reason for their deaths: even a low-ranking soldier in the Primordial World—even a Level 1 demonic beast—was countless times more terrifying than the demonic beasts in ordinary online games.
However, there were exceptions.
Thinking of this exception, Ye Tian shut down the computer, left his shabby little room, and hurried toward the Underground City square.
"Hey!"
"Ye Tian! Your father is preparing for the livestream. Don't run around, and remember to watch it on time!"
Seeing Ye Tian running at full speed, the guard froze before hurriedly shouting.
The guard knew very well that Ye Tian was the son of the mayor of Dragon City's Underground City.
Although conditions in the Underground City were difficult, everyone knew that Ye Tian was the most obedient and well-behaved child, and that he never caused trouble.
In particular, during the many battles against the Apocalypse Outbreak, Ye Tian had provided quite a few good suggestions. Therefore, many of Dragon City's soldiers held him in very high regard.
"Got it!"
Ye Tian waved casually, then arrived at a corner of the square without looking back.
Watch the livestream? Now wasn't the time for that.
With the memories of his previous life, he knew very well that before the game went online, many Divine Artifacts would drop in the Underground Cities around the world because of the spiritual energy revival.
After the Divine Artifacts were discovered by the bigshots of his previous life, they were divided into several ranks: SSSSS-Rank, SSSS-Rank, SSS-Rank, SS-Rank, S-Rank, A-Rank, and B-Rank!
As it happened, Ye Tian knew that an SSSSS-Rank super resource would appear in a corner of Dragon City's Underground City square.
However, in his previous life, this opportunity had long been considered to exist only in theory.
But once the Primordial World game reached its middle phase, everyone finally discovered that this top-tier Divine Artifact, publicly acknowledged by the world's bigshots as the strongest... truly existed!
