Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 514 begins with interstellar warfare.
"In the end, it was still just a little short."

In the analysis space.

Li Zhongren and his followers once again discussed Li Zhongren's experiences in this cyber apocalypse era.

He had considered everything, but he misjudged one thing: human greed.

After he swept through the Umbrella Company with his invincible power, what awaited him was a siege by companies from almost the entire world, not out of fear, but out of greed.

After all, most superpowers have side effects, but this one might be the cleanest in history.

The heads of those companies, in particular, were all acting like madmen. They all knew that once they acquired this ability, it meant that their positions as rulers would never be shaken again.
The ending, naturally, saw Superman Li Zhongren, using the power of the shared space, sweep through all the companies in the post-cyber apocalyptic world, but he could only regretfully take a large amount of fortune with him back to the borderland, falling into a deep slumber.
The evening breeze caressed my cheeks
Li Zhongren sat on a bench in the seaside park, looking at the scenery in the distance.

The setting sun is sinking into the sea.

The sunset painted half the sky red.

He hadn't seen such a scene for a very, very long time.

Because he had been wandering in the void for far too long.

Only today have I finally arrived in this unfamiliar world.

The good news is that he landed in his original form, so there's no need to worry about ethical issues.

The bad news is that he knows nothing about this world.

The good news is that this is a human-dominated world, and he's just an undocumented immigrant at best.

Of course, most importantly, he has cheat codes, so what is he afraid of?
hungry.

After a long while, Li Zhongren stood up. For thousands of years, or even longer, he had not drunk a drop of water or eaten a bite of food.

Right now, the neon lights are on. The light in this world gives people the feeling of cyberpunk, but there is something else added: liveliness, vibrancy, and life.

This is something that will never exist in a corporate-driven cyberpunk world.

With his keen sense of smell, Li Zhongren navigated the city's alleyways, stepping through puddles left from the recent rain, and entered a small restaurant.

On the way here, he even saw hovercars, which means that the world has a high level of technology.

However, the interior decoration of the small restaurant is exactly the same as it was in my previous life.

But that's normal.

Technology changes lives, but this change comes at a cost.

A city, a country, can be armed with technology on a grand scale, showcasing a charm that transcends time.

But in an average person's home, you'll mostly see some unique appliances.

It's like someone from the 1940s or 50s coming to the modern era and seeing all the appliances in a person's home.

It will feel novel, but not like science fiction.

One reason.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

The speaker was a girl wearing an apron.

Her long hair was tied up and covered by a white hat, and she wore a transparent mask on her face, paying extra attention to hygiene.

"Da~"

Li Zhongren scanned the area, his divine sense penetrating his body to examine every structure. He found no surveillance cameras or anything like that. He was confident in this; perhaps he didn't recognize some of the more advanced technology, but his divine sense could reach the level of observation, and no complex man-made object could escape his eyes.

Then he snapped his fingers.

The girl froze in place.

This is one of his cheat-like abilities.

More accurately, his cheat gave him a cultivator's panel, and he started at the Nascent Soul stage.

He could be considered a Nascent Soul Ancestor from a novel.

At this moment, he went all out, cleaving aircraft carriers in two, tearing tanks apart with his bare hands, and exploding fighter jets with his eyes—all routine operations. With a sweep of his divine sense, he could cover a range of thousands of kilometers, and the feedback from his divine sense was even zero-delay.

Of course, controlling a restaurant owner is a piece of cake.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's going to do anything bad.

In fact, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, it's difficult to have any feelings towards ordinary people.

An extremely sensitive sense of smell allows you to detect any unpleasant odor on an ordinary person. Even if someone can suppress or downplay their sense of smell, it doesn't mean the smell is gone.

He did this simply to use the female boss to obtain some information about the world.

After all, he didn't yet know the true extent of this world's power, and he didn't even dare to unleash his divine sense at its maximum power.

If the people of this world can detect divine thoughts, it might backfire.

In fact, he had avoided all detection devices the entire way here, meaning he hadn't been seen by any extraneous people.
The restaurant was steaming hot.

This comes from the noodles that Li Zhongren is eating.

In the kitchen not far away, the restaurant's female owner was preparing other food.

That's right. For someone at the Nascent Soul stage, it's not difficult to roughly extract a person's memories.

If he didn't care about the life or death of the person being excavated, he could complete the process in an instant.

However, in order not to leave any lingering problems for the female boss, the process was stretched to about five minutes.

It's like Li Zhongren is the most advanced computer, but the female boss is the oldest USB flash drive; the read/write speed is what it is.

Of course, this is only superficial. After all, the human brain is too complex, with hundreds of billions of neurons forming countless electrical signals.

These memories are formed, and they are not arranged in sequence like a TV series, but stored in a way that is unique to the brain.

If we're really going to get to the bottom of this, even a Nascent Soul stage expert would probably need ten or eight days to extract all the memories without using any specific spells.

Yes, he is the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

But the blank slate ancestor.

The cheat only gave him the Nascent Soul stage and instructions on how to fully utilize that stage.

However, he was not given any magical techniques.

To give a simpler example...

He's like an ordinary person who has gained a superhuman body.

If you send him to participate in a world-class fighting competition, he could easily beat everyone to a pulp.

There's no structure to it; it's all just numbers.

However, he himself was not proficient in any fighting techniques or more effective power generation techniques, and he was not able to bring his strength to its full potential or even exceed his limits.

Of course, even so, he is still at the top of the food chain in the human world.

Putting everything else aside, his divine thought alone is enough to make him invincible.

But I digress. Let's get back to the topic of this world.

A world that is both peaceful and not peaceful.

"Peaceful" means that the current situation is relatively peaceful; otherwise, there wouldn't be such a strong sense of everyday life.

The unrest is because the shadow of war has never dissipated.

As for the adversary, it is not humanity itself, but aliens.

Yes, aliens.

The oldest script: an alien invasion.

However, the humans in this world are not without a fighting chance.

This world is actually following a dual path of technology and the extraordinary, thanks to the spiritual revival nearly a hundred years ago.

It is this fusion of technology and extraordinary abilities that has enabled this civilization, even though it has not yet left its planet, to achieve its current status.

They relied solely on the planet to withstand the alien invasion.

They even grew stronger with each battle, turning the tables and eliminating the wave of invaders.

However, this anti-invasion war also brought Earth into the interstellar civilization sphere on a cosmic scale.

The opponent only lost one fleet.

The only good news is that it's a civilization built on plunder, and they won't actively reveal Earth's location unless absolutely necessary. The reason is simple.

On a cosmic scale, all matter is worthless.

The universe is not infinite.

The universe has boundaries.

However, the resources in the universe are almost indistinguishable from the infinite.

Putting everything else aside, the Milky Way alone has hundreds of billions of stars and countless planets, so how could it possibly lack resources?

Even if we take a step back and assume there's a lack of resources...

Given an abundance of stars, any substance can be miraculously synthesized.

What is truly precious is intelligent life itself.

Hundreds of years ago on Earth, a scientist proposed a paradox: in an infinitely large universe, there must be an infinite number of civilizations.

Actually, what he said is both right and wrong.

Yes, humans are indeed not alone.

No, the universe is vast, but there are actually very few beings that can truly be considered intelligent life.

Therefore, on a cosmic scale, the most valuable thing is actually intelligent life itself.

It is also based on this point.

Therefore, in this universe, despite its advanced technology, the biggest business among interstellar people is still human trafficking.
It has a touch of dark humor.

But it's also very realistic.

After all, reality doesn't follow scripts; reality only follows reality.

"Boss, settle the bill."

"ten bucks."

The female boss was completely unaware of anything; to her, those five lost minutes would be lost forever.

Li Zhongren then took out ten yuan from his pocket.

As for the source of the money, he had his own methods of begging for alms along the way.

"Where should I go next?"

After leaving the noodle shop, Li Zhongren continued walking along the neon-lit street.

This world is vast, but it is not his home.

He felt no connection to this place at all.

At the same time, the sharing from the shared space also strengthened his moral standards, preventing him from doing evil just because he had power, and he did not eat beef.

Find the country's top leadership group.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Zhongren made this decision.

The reason is also very simple.

It's not that he's bursting with a sense of justice.

Rather, he already considered this world as his own, and he needed to sustainably harvest its fortune.

Therefore, being invaded by aliens or having people trafficked by aliens is absolutely unacceptable.

After all, the root of fortune lies in population.
Of course, he couldn't just go like that.

This world is clearly suffering from PTSD because of the alien invasion.

Therefore, he needs to create a legitimate and justifiable guise for his background and abilities.
After all, people only believe what they want to believe—
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Zhongren was not idle throughout the year.

On one hand, he pondered his own plans; on the other hand, he considered his own abilities.

Just as he said before, he was a blank Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, a Nascent Soul is still a Nascent Soul.

The level of understanding is evident here.

Everything is here.

Once he starts thinking about what he wants to do, he can deduce similar techniques.

And it continues to evolve.

Li Zhongren devoted almost all of his time to this during that year.

He created a training method that suited him.

It was named "The Great Five Elements Cycle Record".

This is a practice method developed by integrating the traditional Five Elements theory of Chinese culture with the observation theory of modern science.

It can be said to encompass everything.

In fact, a year was only enough time for him to create a framework and fill in some necessary spells to ensure the plan's operation.

In the future, as time goes by and as his needs change, he will use the "Great Five Elements Cycle Record" as a basis to develop more cultivation methods.

In a sense, it is somewhat similar to the "Nine Yin Manual".

The first volume is the framework, the core, and the foundation.

The second volume is about techniques, skills, and expansion.

"Then, the plan can begin."

Taking a deep breath, Li Zhongren snapped his fingers, and the "Great Five Elements Cycle Record" began to operate. In the deep underground of the elegant, mountainous forest where he was, a subterranean palace was quickly constructed.

A place that resembles the tomb of immortal cultivators.

Then, the five elements rotated, and time throughout the entire tomb, all the way to the entrance, accelerated. In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if tens of thousands of years had passed.

No matter what means are used to explore it, this place is an ancient relic.

Finally, Li Zhongren lay in a glass coffin.

As the coffin lid slowly closed...
The entire ruins fell silent.
Zhongzhou Extraordinary Relics Archaeological Team.

It was an organization established in the year of the spiritual revival.

Their task was to oversee the various historical sites within the Central Plains.

It has been proven that a civilization, an extraordinary civilization, existed before the current human society.

However, due to the decline of spiritual energy, that civilization eventually disappeared.

Or perhaps, the two civilizations are actually one.

However, as the spiritual energy dissipated, the extraordinary beings were reduced to dust.

These ordinary people gradually occupied ecological niches.

It's just that a hundred years ago, spiritual energy revived, and the extraordinary returned once again.

Of course, this applies to people of this era.

This is a good thing.

After all, if it weren't for the existence of superhuman systems, humans would have long been captured and sold by aliens.

Where else can you leisurely enjoy fried dough sticks and soy milk while driving an off-road vehicle to explore historical sites outside the city?

Thinking about this, Zhou Yun felt full of energy!
Detection instruments from the Central Continent Empire indicate this.

A high-energy signal was transmitted from the northern mountain range outside Los Angeles.

Generally speaking, this signal means that as the concentration of spiritual energy continues to increase, some ancient ruins that had been shut down have begun to operate again.

Their task is to excavate and study this site as quickly as possible, assimilate it, and integrate it into the current scientific system.

Everything else must give way to this.

After all, no one knows when the next wave of aliens will arrive.
