Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

The dazzling white light obscured everything in sight.

In a life-or-death crisis, the frantic warnings of instinct have numbed people.

Death has become an inevitable outcome.

"Of all people, it had to be these guys from the Western European Empire! I was so close to winning the 100-win reward in the arena!"

A middle-aged man who looked thin and whose skin was covered with fine scars clenched his fists in resentment.

But at this moment, there was nothing he could do but wait for death to come.

A white light completely enveloped the entire Black Market Planet; the middle-aged man's last consciousness—

"Death doesn't seem so painful after all..."

It hurts!

It felt like my body was being burned and torn apart from the inside out.

But at this moment, my mind was unusually clear.

Unfortunately, his consciousness was unable to issue any commands to his body, and he could only remain conscious amidst the constant feedback of pain signals.

It wasn't because he could only stay conscious; rather, during his decades of escape and fighting, he had suffered countless injuries far more severe than this.

It's like a small river; when the water rises, it crashes against a wooden bridge and makes a creaking sound, but when it hits a stone bridge, it's just like waves lapping against the shore—it looks nice but doesn't pose a real threat.

The pain subsided, followed by the infusion of energy.

"Am I not dead?"

If you can still sense and absorb source energy, it means that your special ability is still there and your life is still there!

No one wants to die if they can live, especially since he knows that his survival means the flame of civilization has not yet been extinguished!

"Huh?! This source energy..."

It's like when you're sweating profusely in the sweltering heat, you might want to jump into the pool and immerse yourself in the cool water.

But they found that only a small portion of the pool water remained, barely reaching their knees.

The pool water was still cool, but the amount was completely wrong.

My consciousness was drawn in, and a crystal appeared before me.

"Other Energy Crystal"

The answer was spoken subconsciously, followed by a surge of memories.

It felt like being in the universe, surrounded by scenes of memories.

"I've been reborn, reborn back to the time when Earth's civilization was just established!"

The tidal energy brought about climate and environmental changes on Earth, and the rapid evolution of plants and animals broke the original dominance of humans.

Fortunately, the snowstorm, which lasted for three whole months and brought the global average temperature down to minus thirty degrees Celsius, bought time for human civilization to struggle and continue.

Subsequently, more humans embarked on the path of evolution and gradually re-established their habitats, reclaiming their 'territory' from the mutated plants and animals.

According to later time calculations, exactly one year after the eruption of the energy tide, it was the time when the nations on Earth that still retained a certain organizational structure reconnected and announced the establishment of the New Earth Civilization Alliance.

"So now—"

call!

The cold water flowed into his mouth, but Wu Ou controlled it with his supernatural power, allowing it to flow smoothly into his stomach.

He had just surfaced when a cold wind blew by, but it couldn't take away any of the heat from his body.

With a sudden lunge, he grabbed a fallen tree trunk by the riverbank, scrambled to the shore, and squeezed the water off his body.

The portion close to the skin is quickly absorbed using supernatural abilities.

Even so, the outside of the clothes, still damp with water, quickly developed a layer of frost.

clap clap clap!

Now, he could only use both hands to shatter the frost.

"According to my memory, this should be where Grandpa Hu and his family live..."

Following his trajectory before his rebirth, he should have been swept several hundred meters further away before he happened to be stranded in a shallow area, where he was rescued by Grandpa Hu's family who came to fish, thus avoiding the fate of freezing to death or being eaten by the energy beast.

But now it seems he has to find his own way out.

"I've only just awakened my superpowers, and my source energy is only at the early stage of level one..." After assessing his strength again, Wu Ou decided to fill his stomach first.

He leaped onto a tree, shaking the snow off the branches and onto the ground.

The woods on the left are deeper, while those on the right are shorter and show signs of collapse.

blah blah blah...

A series of footsteps approached; it was a herd of deer-like energy beasts.

The leader, with its pair of antlers resembling the horns of a cow before its evolution, was covered in sharp spikes.

He strode confidently to the front, constantly keeping an eye on his surroundings to ensure he could spot any hiding enemies immediately.

The Source Energy Beast absorbed Source Energy, resulting in a significant enhancement of its physical attributes.

Some even possess special abilities, just like human superhumans.

But more often than not, the only evolution is in terms of physical strength.

At this stage, only a very small number of source energy beasts have reached the late stage of level one, while most are still hovering at the early stage of level one or below.

Therefore, apart from size and number, the advantages that the early Source Energy Beasts gained from their rapid advancement have completely disappeared in the face of current human civilization.

"It's a bit of a shame that he's just a little short of reaching level one." Wu Ou made his judgment after visually assessing the leader's physique.

If it reaches level one, a source energy crystal will condense in the body of the source energy beast. This is a universal energy crystal that can be used in the civilization system of Blue Star and even the entire universe.

Before mastering the mass production of pure source energy crystals, obtaining them from the bodies of source energy beasts was the most direct way for the Blue Star civilization to acquire them.

In addition, it can also be used for cultivation and energy restoration. Before the establishment of the Blue Star Civilization Alliance in a true sense, it was also one of the hard currencies.

Lower your body and gather strength in your leg muscles.

He lunged downwards, covering several meters in an instant, and with the force of the lunge, the dagger he had drawn steadily pierced the eye of the energy beast leader, then went into its brain.

With a forceful twist, I wrapped my legs around its neck and used my waist to slam it to the ground.

Waaaaaahh ...

The leader was attacked, but the remaining deer-like energy beasts showed no intention of attacking. They retreated while calling out, and finally turned and ran away.

Some animals, even if they evolve by gaining power, still lack a certain fighting spirit in their nature.

Of course, it was probably also because Wu Ou killed their leader in one fell swoop, and such powerful combat strength intimidated them.

While the source energy allows their physical bodies to evolve, they either need to reach level one in intelligence or possess special abilities. Otherwise, to truly evolve to the same level of intelligence as humans, they would need to reach level two.

"Unfortunately, you won't have that chance anymore."

Wu Ou drew his dagger, located the heart of the deer-like energy beast, and slashed it down.

He made a cut in his stomach, stretched it open, stuck his head inside, bit through his heart, and drank the still-warm blood.

Suddenly, I felt a warm current in my body, which, in addition to the temperature of my blood, also represented the relatively pure source energy in my body.

While drinking deeply, he distracted himself by using his supernatural abilities to separate the source energy and other nutrients in his blood and inject them into the parts of his body that needed them.

"Phew! I'm really not used to life without energy potions."
