Crossing the Spark Era

Chapter 001

Thunder Beast Wasteland, late at night, visibility is zero in the thick fog.

It is currently spring, the season of rebirth, and the wasteland is filled with the breath of spring.

In the mist-shrouded darkness, lightning flashes back and forth. Many Thunder Beasts, resembling rhinoceroses, are constantly fighting for mates, completely unaware that hunters have been eyeing them from not far away. They are still engaging in primal combat with their horns, which continuously discharge electricity.

On a naturally formed small hill in the wasteland, an infrared telescope slowly rises from the loose soil.

In the cramped space of just two cubic meters beneath the hill sits a handsome young man, appearing to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. He is completely wrapped in camouflage cloth that absorbs electromagnetic waves, intently watching the infrared telescope.

The young man has been lying in ambush here, digging his hole two days ago, and has waited for two days without sleep.

He is Li Mu, a new generation transmigrator from the Blue Star orphanage.

One day, as he was contemplating the meaning of life, he suddenly shrank into an infant and arrived in this mist-shrouded Spark World.

His luck was quite good; he didn't transmigrate into the wilderness but into Frostfire City, a Titan Mech City.

Looking at the metal skyscrapers surrounding him, his first impression was that he had transmigrated to an alien planet. He wondered if he had been kidnapped by aliens. Fortunately, kind-hearted "people" soon found him and took him to the Frostfire Orphanage.

As he grew up in the orphanage, he learned the true nature of this world.

Strictly speaking, this is still Blue Star, but a Blue Star from a parallel universe. The turning point of the world occurred after the end of the First World War and on the eve of the Second World War. The universe bestowed the Life Seed upon Blue Star, giving birth to the Gaia Consciousness, which had previously only existed in imagination. Blue Star also became a Spark Planet with life.

Waves are human nature, and Blue Star, with life, is no less than humans (.-`ω-).

It directly detached from the solar system, transformed into a glutton, and began to continuously search for life-bearing stars in the universe, integrating them into the Spark World (╯▽╰) So delicious~~.

After Blue Star consumed these life-bearing stars, the Spark Energy pervading the entire Spark World increased.

All things gradually absorbed and integrated Spark Energy, successively giving birth to various Sparks and initiating the Spark Era, which lasted for sixteen thousand years.

Spark Energy can bring metal cities to life, turning them into Titan Mech Cities that roam the misty wilderness.

Some Sparks can be integrated into tamed behemoths, and humans build Titan Behemoth Cities on the backs and within the bellies of these behemoths.

In addition, there are Titan Sky Cities suspended in the sky, Titan Underground Cities hidden deep beneath the ground, and Titan Deep Sea Cities existing in the deep sea. Various Spark Cities are scattered across the mist-shrouded Spark Planet, protecting the spark of human civilization while exploring the misty world.

If Spark Cities are the shield protecting humanity, then humanity's spear is the Seedship, capable of traversing dimensions and entering other worlds.

Frostfire City is a mobile Titan Mech City.

It has metal city walls like ancient cities and metal treads like tanks. The giant cannons covering the city walls can turn an area of dozens of miles into scorched earth or an icy world with just one volley.

Two days ago, Frostfire City moved near the Thunder Beast Wasteland.

There weren't enough threats here, so the Spark Hunters within the city left one after another to hunt for meat.

Thunder Beast meat was tough and hard, not tasty, but very effective for tempering the physique through the Spark Body Tempering Technique. The only pity was that Thunder Beast meat lost its body-tempering effect one hour after the beast died. Without Space Spark Equipment, Thunder Beasts held no hunting value.

This characteristic of Thunder Beast meat was precisely why Li Mu had his sights set on them.

Although the Frostfire Orphanage didn't lack food, dreaming of eating well was just wishful thinking.

In two months, when he turned eighteen, he would be eligible to awaken the Innate Spark, unique to Humans, and become a HuoZhong Professional.

The Awakening Ceremony required communicating with Gaia Consciousness and absorbing the Life Flame. The more one absorbed, the higher the chance of awakening a higher quality Innate Spark.

Li Mu knew very well that his physique couldn't compare to those peers who had been supplemented with various resources since childhood.

If he wanted to absorb more Life Flame, he needed to eat more Thunder Beast meat to strengthen his body.

Although he didn't have Space Spark Equipment, he had a Seedship in his consciousness that caused him to transmigrate.

At first, he was happy because Seedships were extremely precious, even in the Spark World.

Soon, he couldn't be happy anymore. His Seedship currently only had storage functions.

Because the Seedship didn't belong to him yet. Only by awakening the Innate Spark in his soul could he be qualified to claim the Seedship as his master, qualify to awaken the Seedship's dormant shipboard sparks, and have the chance to traverse dimensions and reach various worlds with the Seedship.

Although he didn't know if the quality of the Innate Spark affected claiming the Seedship as his master?

But a high-quality Innate Spark would definitely affect his personal extraordinary strength.

To awaken a better Innate Spark, whether he could successfully hunt a Thunder Beast today was crucial.

This not only concerned whether he could awaken a better Innate Spark but also his health.

He had hypermnesia, a condition countless people dreamed of.

He could recite any book from memory after reading it once, and he would never forget any scene he had seen. However, with so much information, especially after emptying almost the entire library at Spark Academy in this life, he had started suffering from headaches in the last two years.

A man could lack anything else, but his body must not be weak.

"There's something..."

Li Mu controlled the Infrared Telescope, constantly sweeping it around.

On the edge of the Thunder Beast herd, figures had appeared and were stealthily approaching.

According to image comparison with his brain's database, these were the Fierce Wolves he had been waiting for two days. They were the biggest threat to the nearby Thunder Beasts. When they got into a melee with the Thunder Beasts, regardless of who won or lost, a few Thunder Beast corpses would be left behind.

If he was lucky enough, he could just pick up the spoils and return to the city.

Even without ready-made corpses to pick up, he still had a chance to hunt a Thunder Beast that had been bitten by a Fierce Wolf.

Li Mu retracted his Infrared Telescope and sent an Amplifier out of the cave entrance.

"Awooo..."

The shrill wolf howl, amplified, made many Thunder Beasts tremble and flee in panic (-"-_angry).

Li Mu immediately put away the Amplifier and wrapped himself tightly in the Anti-electromagnetic Wave Camouflage cloth.

He knew the outcome of the rest of the events without even thinking. A Thunder Beast's horn was equivalent to a small-range radar. The Thunder Beasts startled by his Ghost Cry Wolf Howl would definitely scan their surroundings, and the Fierce Wolves that were preparing to ambush would be discovered immediately.

Given the Thunder Beasts' violent temper, they would absolutely not let the Fierce Wolves go.

Having lost the advantage of surprise, and with their short-range burst speed inferior to the Thunder Beasts, these Fierce Wolves could only choose to engage head-on. After killing a few Thunder Beasts, these bullies who picked on the weak and feared the strong, with their violent tempers, would come to their senses and give up chasing the Fierce Wolves.

PS: New book seeking support, recommendation tickets, and collections. The competition for new books is fierce right now. If the data is poor, there won't be good recommendations, and if there are no good recommendations, the data will be even worse, creating a vicious cycle that's hard to break. Therefore, I'm begging for reads, recommendation tickets, and collections. Thank you, everyone!
