[ Ding, congratulations on passing the Savior selection trial and obtaining the inheritance of future humanity! ]
Mo Chen froze. "The inheritance of future humanity?"
[ Please prepare to receive the inheritance information... Three... Two... One... Begin! ]
As that ethereal voice rang out.
The void-like darkness and endless floating code before Mo Chen abruptly vanished, replaced by an incomparably magnificent scene of apocalyptic ruins.
Within those ruins, countless buildings had collapsed. Lead-gray clouds pressed against the horizon, while the maglev track bridge spanning the bay had snapped in half, one side of it driven deep into the ocean.
The streets were piled with all kinds of dual-purpose flying cars, along with rusted robots whose wreckage was tangled together beyond distinction.
Mo Chen stood amid the ruins, cracked earth beneath his feet. In the distance came the roar of mechanical wreckage, along with the low growls of some gigantic creature.
A gust of wind swept past. On an abandoned residential building ahead, a rusted swing was gently swaying.
[ This is Earth in the year 2550. ]
That ethereal voice sounded once more. [ One hundred years after the Fifth World War, human civilization stands on the brink of extinction. ]
Mo Chen looked around and discovered countless skeletons scattered among the ruins. Some had long since weathered away, while others had been mechanically modified, their bones embedded with rusted metal components.
[ We once tried to preserve the sparks of civilization through AI and virtual worlds, but the Divine Realm System ultimately spiraled out of control. Tens of millions of human consciousnesses were trapped within it, while their bodies gradually withered away in the real world. ]
Mo Chen's gaze flickered. "So, you chose me?"
[ More precisely, your genes are exceptionally compatible with our requirements! ]
