Chapter 1, The Last Calm Before the Catastrophe

Reborn in the classroom, Li Jiayu will once again witness his friends being devoured by insects. How will he choose? ... To escape alone, or ...? ... To choose to save them?

Only you, this fellow, not only ignore others but also sleep like a pig, and it's just the beginning of the second year of university!

Others at least still give her Sun Weiwei some support, more or less offering a bit of pretense, and occasionally can tell a few stories that promote genuine human emotions to elicit some tears

The vast sea has turned into mulberry fields, and the world has changed beyond recognition. All those I cared for have left me, leaving behind only countless deep-seated hatreds and irreconcilable enemies...

You still do not understand the terrifying nature of cosmic storms. At that time, the vast majority of electronic devices and precision instruments on Earth will completely fail. This means that human civilization and technological advancement will suffer an unprecedented and severe blow. Your mobile phones, computers, air conditioners, even the lights for illumination, and the massagers used by women—99.9% of all electrical appliances that are inseparable from daily life will be rendered inoperative. It will be a primitive, dark, savage, and bloody end-of-humanity society.

Sun Weiwei felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart. She had never seen eyes that resembled a stagnant pool, hollow and exuding a chilling sense of despair. A phrase came to her mind—utterly despondent.

Li Jiayu's lips curled with a stronger hint of sarcasm as she quickened her pace of speech

A heart full of regret and a deep sorrow leave Li Jiayu in remorse, waking repeatedly from nightmares on cold and desolate nights

There is a good show to watch

The onlooking classmates also joined in the attack, condemning Li Jiayu, especially since many of them had just joined the "Youth Volunteer Association." Wasn't Li Jiayu just saying that they were well-fed and had nothing to do?

Fate is unpredictable; perhaps I will embark on a more arduous path, or maybe I will not live as long as I did in my previous life. But at least... this time, I still have a chance to turn things around

A commotion arose among the onlookers, whispering to one another—Sun Weiwei is known for her competitive and assertive personality, while Li Jiayu has a somewhat gentle disposition and is famously polite and mild-mannered. Rumors in the community suggest that there is a romantic involvement between these two individuals with such contrasting personalities.

Li Jiayu! Can't you be a bit more serious? Were you just trying to get my attention by annoying me earlier? Let me tell you, you are quite boring!

I am talking to you! Get up!

How could she fall asleep on the desk while discussing the class program "Love and Peace" with her classmates

Youth Volunteer Association? Ha... Really just a bunch of idle people with nothing better to do, I truly apologize, perhaps I do not have that kind of free time

Everyone has studied physics and should know that one dimension is a line, two dimensions are a plane, three dimensions are a solid, and four dimensions add a time axis to the ordinary three-dimensional space... In this way, there exists N-dimensional space in the universe, which explains the existence of different worlds and different planes of existence

Li Jiayu took out her phone and checked the time—August 29, 2013, 4:32:39 PM

( Am I not dead? Why is it still ... ... )

A wave of bitterness and melancholy suddenly surged within her heart, causing her nose to tingle and her eyes to brim with hot tears. However, Li Jiayu suppressed the tremor in her heart, took a deep breath to regain her composure, and smiled faintly.

His smile, however, subtly differed from before. As for what exactly was different, Sun Weiwei could not discern. In any case, it was a very reserved and gentle smile, distinct from the bright and handsome smiles of those pretty boys.

Jia Yu, don't play the amnesia trick; it's too outdated. Nowadays, girls are no longer fooled by this kind of thing

It was still Li Jiayu's unique gentle voice, but for some reason, this time it felt much more substantial and dynamic, lacking a bit of tranquility and possessing a bit more clarity, akin to the sound of metal striking stone

I apologize; I was actually just trying to make you laugh. Seeing your enthusiastic participation in the class meeting work, I wanted to bring you some joy. I didn't expect it to backfire and cause you to feel upset about the library, leading to a misunderstanding...

Fool! You've read too many reincarnation novels; where in this world is there such a good thing as reincarnation?

Hearing those subtle discussions, Sun Weiwei's face became even more flushed. Her ears turned red, and she bit her lip in silence. She glared at Li Jiayu for a full half minute before finally shouting in anger

Regardless of whether this leg is real or not, the onlookers, who are merely bystanders, are eager for this couple to experience intense conflict once again, thus staging a melodramatic scene that is both entertaining and predictable

Li Jiayu only remembers that in his previous life, he had no place to call home, hunted down by the insect race, the undead, and other alien species. Even the major human factions relentlessly pressured him, leaving him isolated and helpless. Ultimately, his old wounds flared up, and he died alone in a dark, damp tree hollow.

Li Jiayu let out a muffled groan, lifting his head dully like a piece of decayed wood. His expression was vacant, devoid of any spirit, as if he had lost his soul.

... ... ''

Like the poor soul who is about to die of thirst in the depths of the desert, it is even more akin to a terminally ill patient, whose days are numbered and who has no glimmer of hope left

Youth volunteers are established on the basis of surplus labor, allowing you university students, who are well-fed and have nothing to do, to vent your excess energy and satisfy your sense of honor... However, when you find yourselves in precarious situations, where you could be devoured by insects or stabbed by your peers at any moment, living a life worse than death, it is likely that you will no longer remember this term... However, when you find yourselves in precarious situations, where you could be devoured by insects or stabbed by your peers at any moment, living a life worse than death, it is likely that you will no longer remember this term...

"Nonsense! Of course we understand this! Don't go off on a tangent..." Sun Weiwei had no intention of being polite and bluntly interjected.

Listen to me until I finish

Is it possible that he did not lose his memory, but rather was reborn

No one knows about the wild summoner who has caused great distress among the major powers of the Celestial Empire, the despicable rural bandit, the one vilified as an anti-human giant, yet who made outstanding contributions in resisting the invasion of the Zerg and the undead, Li Jiayu, who at merely twenty-four years of age, lies buried in such an unnamed place

At this point, Li Jiayu looked at her classmate, who still wore a bewildered and disbelieving expression, gently shook her head, a faint, cold smile on her lips, and said in a low voice

He seemed to have seen something unbelievable, his expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up from his chair, looking flustered. He gazed at Sun Weiwei, at the once familiar classmates, at the desks and chairs in the classroom, at the walls and bulletin boards. The mottled colors and old memories stirred countless thoughts in Li Jiayu's mind

( Class meeting? Which class meeting? )

Sun Weiwei was also infuriated, her eyes wide open as she glared at Li Jiayu, stamping her foot forcefully

Li Jiayu shook her head, ignoring Sun Weiwei's nonsensical chatter, and released the first deep-sea bomb

There was once an opportunity to become a powerful warrior, but it was missed due to a rupture in one's tendons; there was a possibility of becoming a flame dancer, yet it was relinquished in order to repay a debt of gratitude; there was a chance to inherit a substantial fortune, ... but it was abandoned for various reasons ...

Li Jiayu suddenly wiped away her previous smile, the corners of her mouth curling into a faint mockery. To Sun Weiwei, that mockery felt like a blade.

Time is running short, with less than a minute left, there is no time to call family... Well, considering this is for the sake of a classmate, I will share a bit more with you.

Sun Weiwei has been paying attention to Li Jiayu, who has been sleeping in the last row for a long time

Alright, since you have apologized, I won't pursue the matter further. However, you need to join the "Youth Volunteer Association". On weekends, you can go out to distribute health flyers, do some volunteer work, and clean the streets. After all, you have nothing better to do anyway. Sun Weiwei laid down the conditions, believing that Li Jiayu would never refuse a girl's request, let alone hers.

The satirical "Love and Peace" and the promotional class meeting for the * Picture * Book opening of the school year

Li Jiayu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not know where to begin. He tried hard to listen to his classmates, yet he could not comprehend a single word, as it felt like hundreds of thunderclaps were exploding in his mind, creating a chaotic mess. Countless regrets, innumerable feelings of remorse, and endless pain surged to the forefront of his thoughts, nearly suffocating Li Jiayu

"Aren't you already having your skull pried open by the Soul Devourer, draining your brain? No, wait... my eyes, my eyes are clearly blind, so why can I still see things..."

Blaming myself for being blinded by hatred at that time, I failed to perceive my sister's intentions, ultimately watching helplessly as she was taken away by a person of immense power. I had thought she could find a safe and warm refuge, but in the end, I was devastated to hear the tragic news of her suicide by wrist-cutting

I can make amends for those regrets that have caused me immense sorrow ... I can protect those precious things that have once been lost ...

Li Jiayu's expression darkened, and a bitter smile turned into a helpless self-mockery. Her voice became even more subdued as she spoke slowly, word by word:

Have you eaten enough and have nothing to do? How can you speak like that? Do you look down on young volunteers?

A sense of inexplicable panic surged within Sun Weiwei, her brows furrowing together, as she pointed angrily at Li Jiayu with a pale face

Due to his own arrogance, he brought upon the demon-hunting team a colossal enemy. In a fit of rage, the entire demon-hunting team was brutally slaughtered, with rivers of blood flowing. The leader, who had shown him immense kindness, was flayed alive and executed by a thousand cuts, serving as dog food

In half a minute, the surface of the Earth will experience tremors, and countless tiny spatial fissures will open up. At the same time, a cosmic storm from an alternate time and space will sweep across the Earth, causing dramatic changes to its gravity, climate, geography, and more

This voice... this tone seems familiar, you are... you are Sun... Sun Weiwei? Li Jiayu's eyes, once filled with despair and confusion, were gradually replaced by overwhelming terror, as if she were immersed in an ice cellar

( Even if it means wagering everything I have ... ... )

( Resurrection? No, it is not resurrection, it is rebirth! Fate has heard the lament of my soul, and I have actually been reborn! I have returned to the moment before the apocalypse, and I have also returned to the starting line of all my regrets )

Regretting not heeding my father's advice, I ventured out alone to hunt giant worms. As a result, I returned to my dwelling, battered and on the brink of death. In order to exchange for a vial of restorative liquid for me, my father willingly allowed himself to be transformed by the organization into a "biochemical blood corpse," a type of zombie puppet that retains only the instinct to kill

Oh, still pretending to have amnesia

Sun Weiwei, her face flushed, walked up to Li Jiayu, furrowing her brows, and questioned him

This boy

Everything will be reshuffled once again

In my previous life, I had not yet shed my naivety and suffered numerous losses, solely blaming myself for being too soft-hearted and for associating with bad company. During the first mass escape at school, I was pushed towards the bloodsucking insects by a friend desperate to save himself. Although I miraculously survived, I was severely weakened and nearly became a mere shell of a person. Even after I recovered, I found myself lagging behind others at the starting line in the pursuit of strength

And this is merely the beginning; even more terrifying and deadly events are yet to follow

Li Jiayu, how long do you intend to remain distracted? Is the program I host so uninteresting to you? Do you have any grievances against me? Is this your attitude towards the class monitor?

This incompetent boy

The onlooking classmates found it amusing, purely regarding Li Jiayu as someone who was trying various tricks to flirt with girls

Sun Weiwei simply enjoys watching Li Jiayu smile; she finds Li Jiayu's smile very attractive, even though he is not her boyfriend

The sister-in-law who silently supported me was also brutally dismembered due to the troubles I caused her; most of those former friends are living in misery, unaware of life or death; those red sleeves that once entangled with me are now out of contact...

Who ... ...
