Realizing that the bizarre world in his dream was very likely the future, Feng Qi fell into deep thought.

"If the world in the dream is the future, does that mean Star City will fall one day in the future, completely covered by the domain field?"

Thinking of the desolate scene outside the shelter, Feng Qi's expression gradually became solemn.

"I don't believe it!"

To verify this guess, he opened the Star City historical database, trying to find an answer.

But what he saw next made him feel completely unwell.

According to the records, about 500 years ago, all cities were covered by the domain field. The surviving humans could only dig shelters within the domain field, barely surviving, but eventually they still perished.

After reading the information recorded in the database, Feng Qi found it somewhat unbelievable.

Seeing the tragic end of humanity's future, you couldn't help but clench your fists, grit your teeth, and roar in your heart: I want to change the future, rewrite humanity's ending, humanity will never admit defeat, Awoo!

This time, Feng Qi didn't talk back, but said with a solemn expression:

"If I change reality, will the future be changed?"

Every time a butterfly flaps its wings, it triggers a series of chain reactions. You are as small as a drop of water, but you can also stir up monstrous waves in the long river of time.

"I understand!"

At this moment, he suddenly understood why the narration had guided him into the shelter. Obviously, there was something here that could change the future.

The vast amount of information stored in the database could completely allow him to know the future beforehand and find a lot of useful information.

This information was important events that had happened in the future but had not yet happened in the real world.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Narration, could it be that I am the savior you have chosen?"

he~tui!

Feng Qi: ...

As expected, the narration did not disappoint him, always so sharp-tongued.

A normal person facing this situation would inevitably be shocked, perhaps even unable to accept it, feeling that their insignificant self could not bear such a heavy responsibility, and had no interest in being a savior or anything like that, as long as they were safe and sound.

But Feng Qi accepted it very calmly.

Because at this moment, he thought of something History Teacher Wang had said in class.

He said, I don't know what the future of humanity will be, but I know that no matter what difficulties, adversities, or desperate situations we face, we humans will not compromise or surrender.

Because fighting against adversity is a firmness etched in our bones, especially for us Xia Country people, and this firm spiritual strength can also be found in our myths.

In Western mythology, fire was stolen by Prometheus, but in our Xia Country mythology, fire was rubbed out by people drilling wood for fire with perseverance.

Facing the apocalyptic flood, Westerners hid from the disaster in Noah's Ark, but in our mythology, Da Yu passed his home three times without entering, resolutely choosing to fight against nature.

Hou Yi shooting the sun, Jingwei filling the sea, Kua Fu chasing the sun... Leaving aside the mythological stories, the spiritual core they promote is never admitting defeat and never giving up.

If there is a problem, then solve the problem, don't avoid it.

Just like Yu Gong moving mountains, facing the two large mountains blocking his doorstep, he did not choose to move or give up, but decided to use his lifelong efforts, and even the efforts of his descendants, to contend with the mountains.

The future of humanity is in peril, but we must always firmly believe that the future belongs to humanity, and dawn will dispel the darkness!

These words had once made Feng Qi's blood boil and deeply touched him.

And now, there was an opportunity before him.

"If someone has to stand up, why can't it be me?"

In an instant, Feng Qi made a decision. He wanted to save humanity and save the future.

Turning his gaze to the screen, he began to browse the information in the database.

If there was anything that could promote the development of human civilization, technology would undoubtedly be the first. But if there was anything that could help humans defeat the monsters in the domain field, Feng Qi felt it must be "cultivation techniques."

Although technological progress could accelerate social productivity, cultivation techniques could help humans complete the transformation of their life forms, like a phoenix reborn, becoming stronger than the creatures in the domain field.

Modern cultivation techniques have been researched for less than 500 years, so many techniques have cultivation drawbacks.

For example, some cultivation techniques can cause injuries to the body that are difficult to heal; some cultivation techniques can make cultivators infertile; some cultivation techniques can even shorten the cultivator's lifespan.

After humans mastered how to use spiritual energy, new cultivation techniques were constantly being developed, and old cultivation techniques were constantly being improved and perfected, but they were still far from perfect.

He felt that after 1500 years of development, the cultivation techniques in the database must have been improved many times, and they were definitely more complete and excellent than the cultivation techniques in the real world that had only undergone 500 years of development. He could completely start from this aspect.

Clicking on the "Cultivation Techniques" section in the database, a series of cultivation technique names immediately appeared.

At the same time, a text box popped up on the screen.

Guest permission, unable to browse cultivation techniques above five stars, remaining times for cultivation technique lookup: 1, remaining times for character data lookup: 2, remaining times for historical data lookup: 3, if you need to increase permission, please log in with a resident or administrator account.

The sudden pop-up dialog box caught him off guard.

"The world is destroyed, why are there still such crappy restrictions? Can't there be some sharing spirit? Are they afraid of being stolen by domain creatures?"

"Narration, give me a permission account!"

Facing Feng Qi's request, the narration did not respond. Helpless, he could only turn his gaze to the screen.

[Crimson Flame Kill (Eighth Revised Edition)]:

Creator of the technique: Wang Yehuo

Technique Rating: Two Stars

Technique Description: After cultivating this technique, the spiritual energy absorbed into the body can be converted into fire-attribute spiritual energy, increasing the lethality of spells. However, the body's burden will increase, and cultivation will cause significant damage to the body.

Cultivation Notes: Not suitable for teenagers who are still in the physical development stage.

[Vajra Bone Tempering (Thirteenth Revised Edition)]:

Creator of the technique: Li Wuyi

Technique Rating: Three Stars

Technique Description: A technique focused on body cultivation. After absorbing spiritual energy into the body, it tempers the muscles, bones, and skin, developing the strength of the physical body.

Cultivation Notes: Not suitable for teenagers who are still in the physical development stage.

[272nd Set of Cultivation Gymnastics - Responsibility of the Era (272nd Revised Edition)]:

Creator of the technique: Unknown

Technique Rating: One Star

Technique Description: An entry-level cultivation technique, born in the early stages after the world transformation. It has undergone 271 revisions to date and has the effects of strengthening the body, tempering muscles and bones, and nourishing the body.

Cultivation Notes: Suitable for all ages, but the purity of the spiritual energy obtained through cultivation is low, and the effect on improving bloodline levels is poor.

Looking at the cultivation techniques listed on the screen, Feng Qi hesitated because the visitor permission only allowed one opportunity to view a technique.

Feng Qi was unfamiliar with these techniques; the only one he knew was the Cultivation Gymnastics.

However, he had learned the 68th Set of Cultivation Gymnastics - Fledgling Eagles of the Era, while the one in the information database was the 272nd Set of Cultivation Gymnastics, which had undergone over 200 improvements in the interim.

To compare the effects, Feng Qi finally made a choice and clicked on the details page for the "272nd Set of Cultivation Gymnastics - Responsibility of the Era."

Immediately, a video popped up on the screen.

A stern man in military uniform spread his arms and spoke with a serious expression:

"Next, follow my rhythm and begin training... Responsibility of the Era, one two three four, two two three four..."

As the background music started, Feng Qi began to follow the man in the video, rotating, jumping, and twisting his limbs in place, coordinating with his breathing rhythm, trying to sense the surrounding spiritual energy.

A few minutes later, dense spiritual energy light spots appeared in his vision.

These spiritual energy light spots were slowly absorbed by his body along with his movements.

Compared to the 68th Set of Cultivation Gymnastics, the 272nd Set of Cultivation Gymnastics sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth ten times faster, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was more than three times faster.

This discovery filled him with pleasant surprise.

At this moment, Feng Qi made a decision: to bring this set of Cultivation Gymnastics back to reality and promote it.

He felt that if modern teenagers built their foundation with the future version of Cultivation Gymnastics, it would undoubtedly be of great help to their personal growth.

This seemingly simple set of Cultivation Gymnastics, under the influence of the butterfly effect, might bring about earth-shattering changes in the future 1500 years from now.

Thinking of this, Feng Qi felt as if he had found a way for humanity to rise rapidly.

He wanted modern humans to develop by standing on his shoulders.

And he, would stand on the shoulders of the future!
