Prologue

This discovery shocked the entire scientific community, prompting the then Interstellar Alliance to dispatch numerous exploratory spacecraft in search of that nameless planet, yet all returned empty-handed, and that nameless planet subsequently vanished into the vastness of the starry sky

In the year 2756 AD, humanity finally achieved sub-light speed travel, thus marking the beginning of the true era of interstellar colonization

Humanity thus began its own evolutionary history of life

The defeat in the war has also resulted in a large number of colonial planets falling under the control of extraterrestrial life, placing humanity in an unavoidable crisis of extinction

Seventeen years later, the three most technologically advanced countries at the time jointly developed the epoch-making advanced spacecraft "Explorer", which is the first spacecraft capable of performing space jumps

Two years later, most people discovered that a brand new self had emerged, with their bodies becoming extremely robust. Their running speed, physical agility, learning ability, and other aspects had greatly improved, and even super-evolvers had appeared

The launch of the Explorer spacecraft marks the official beginning of the golden age of human interstellar development

In order to address the issue of human life's fragility, they established the "Institute of Human Technological Evolution" and the "Institute of Human Space Technology" on Earth, gathering all the leading scientists of the time to conduct research on human evolution, attempting to find methods to free humanity from weakness and aging

Due to the fragility and brevity of human life, coupled with the tremendous development of material civilization following colonization, humanity has become reluctant to reproduce, indulging instead in material pleasures, while wars have caused a significant number of young adults to perish untimely.

The Interstellar Alliance is also eager to find more effective methods of evolution as soon as possible

In the year 3700 AD, the Interstellar Alliance officially decided that all citizens must receive the K14 injection upon reaching the age of eighteen, with some referring to it as Hope No. 14, while others call it Evolution Agent No. 14

In the year 3205 AD, humanity first discovered advanced extraterrestrial life forms

The alliance has gathered countless top scientists, and after ten years of relentless effort, they have finally succeeded in synthesizing this liquid substance, which has been named "Hope No. 1"; however, within the scientific community, it is referred to as "Evolution No. 1"

In a chance experiment, scientists discovered that this liquid can not only be absorbed by the human body but also enables the body to evolve automatically

Centered on Earth, the coalition established multiple layers of defense and significantly expanded its military arsenal, deploying a formidable interstellar fleet at the front lines to slow down the offensive pace of extraterrestrial life.

The spacecraft encountered a meteor shower during its return journey, resulting in the loss of all expedition personnel. After the rescue spacecraft arrived, this liquid substance was sent back to Earth

In less than a year, all individuals aged 18 to 68 within the alliance have been administered this evolutionary agent

At the "Institute of Human Technological Evolution," analysis and research have revealed that this is a substance that has never been seen before

In the year 3669 AD, an exploratory spacecraft discovered a peculiar liquid substance on a distant unnamed planet

After more than one hundred years of technological advancement, in the year 2874, humanity mastered the theory of interstellar space jump.

The war is in a stalemate there. The allied forces have deployed heavy troops to fortify their positions, and both sides are accumulating strength, awaiting the next battle

Due to human colonial actions, a war broke out between humanity and extraterrestrial life. After more than one hundred years of interstellar warfare, humanity painfully realized that, on the battlefield, they were no match for the extraterrestrial beings

The main combat faction has restructured the Earth, officially establishing the "Interstellar Alliance" and the "Cosmic United Forces Command." All colonial planets must obey the command of the United Forces Command

In the face of a crisis, humanity has divided into several factions: those advocating for war, those favoring peace, those evading the issue, and those living in pessimism. Ultimately, the war faction garnered the support of the majority of the populace

In the year 3743 AD, the United Galactic Forces Command launched a counteroffensive against extraterrestrial life. In this great war, the coalition achieved its first significant victory, driving the extraterrestrial beings to the edge of the galaxy

Although the number of this segment of the population is extremely small, it has revealed a greater prospect for human evolution, presenting humanity in a state of unprecedented vitality
