Chapter 1, Rebirth

Five years later, the world underwent a great transformation, altering the fates of countless individuals. The gods descended from the cosmic starry sky, turning Earth into a battlefield for the contest of a hundred clans

There was much discussion among the crowd, but most appeared to take pleasure in the misfortune, suggesting that Zhong Li did not have a good reputation among the classmates

What is Lin Moying involved in regarding this matter

In mid-April, although it is still early summer, the sun is already blazing fiercely, and the heat is intense

Fortunately, the human race has opened the long-sealed ancient ruins, and since obtaining the technology of ancient Earth civilization from within, they have revived the brilliance of the super civilization of ancient times, and have established a martial arts system capable of contending with the myriad races and even battling the gods of the starry sky

I have truly returned

Yet this final barrier was ultimately shattered, as a cosmic race devoted to a deity of the starry sky launched an assault. In less than half a day, they completely breached the defensive line of humanity, resulting in the death of Zhongli

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone in the class felt somewhat puzzled, and the teacher grading papers at the podium also furrowed his brow and said: "Zhongli, what is the matter with you?"

At that moment, a sudden scream pierced the air, shattering the tranquil atmosphere of study. The startled individuals turned their gazes toward the sound, only to see a slightly frail-looking youth in the corner of the classroom, who had somehow stood up. He leaned on the desk with both hands, panting heavily, his somewhat pale face glistening with sweat, and his eyes reflected a look of panic, as if he had just experienced a terrifying nightmare.

Did you not know? This morning, when I arrived, someone saw Zhong Li in the classroom getting handsy with Lin Mo Ying, and I heard that he even hugged her.

Ten years of experience, like a dream, standing on the corridor, gazing at the ebb and flow of people in the campus, Zhongli felt somewhat confused and even more hesitant

Upon witnessing this scene, the astonishment in everyone's hearts intensified even further

It is not that way; Zhang Yang has already made it clear that he intends to make him pay for it

I have returned

At this thought, Zhong Li could not help but burst into laughter, disregarding the astonished gazes of those around him, and immediately left the classroom

Hahaha

Zhong Li did not know what reaction his classmates would have after his departure; he also knew that they would not take it to heart. At this moment, he was reminiscing about everything in his life, everything that had happened in his past and present.

She was originally working on exercises, half leaning against the desk, one hand holding a pen to write, while the other supported her chin. Her long, ink-like hair cascaded down beside her ears, the strands contrasting with her fair, jade-like skin, which added a touch of captivating charm to her youthful visage still tinged with a hint of innocence, providing a unique sense of coolness amidst the sweltering summer heat

The host's primordial spirit has awakened, and the intelligent brain has begun to connect

There is no mistake, in this life and the next, Zhongli has lived two lives, or one could say he has been reborn once

All of this, however, turned to ashes in the fifth year. The gods of the starry sky joined the battlefield, the Earth Federation was defeated, and humanity began its descent into extinction. As the war continued to retreat step by step, the army led by Zhongli was ordered to fall back to the Sahara Desert. It is said that within the vast desert lies a research institute of divine weaponry belonging to the Earth Federation, and this army serves as the last line of defense for the institute

In this city where even the air seems to burn like flowing fire, only the lush green campus can still evoke a sense of coolness and vitality

A sudden, cold sound devoid of any fluctuation resonated in Zhongli's mind, interrupting his chaotic thoughts

Before consciousness faded, Zhongli saw an incredibly brilliant light flying towards him, and then he remembered nothing.

Ah...

At Longhai No. 3 Middle School, as the class bell just rang, countless boys and girls surged out of the somewhat stuffy classroom. Some rushed to the playground, shedding sweat under the scorching sun, while others gathered under the shade of the trees, chatting about their youth in small groups.

In response to this inquiry, the youth named Zhongli remained silent, gazing around with a somewhat bewildered expression. He then lowered his head to look at his desk, and suddenly, his body began to tremble.

And now, under the prying eyes of the crowd, Lin Moying seemed to sense something. Holding a pen in one hand, she appeared to still be working on her exercises, yet her gaze involuntarily shifted towards Zhongli, her expression subtly revealing a hint of tension and concern.

Lin Moying, the class monitor of Class 1, is a typical model student. She is good-looking, well-liked, and excels in her studies. Although no one in the Third Middle School is currently so bored as to engage in activities like selecting a school belle or school hunk, it can be assured that if such a selection were to take place, Lin Moying would undoubtedly be elected with unanimous support.

The only exception is the third year of high school, where, under the relentless countdown to the college entrance examination, these unfortunate students must seize every moment to study diligently, striving for their lives and futures, and even during breaks, they dare not relax in the slightest

If you do not know how to use idioms, do not misuse them. What nonsense is this about joy turning to sorrow? I think he is just scared out of his wits, or perhaps he wants to attract the teacher's attention, just to get through the after-school ordeal

What on earth is going on with this guy

Is this what is known as the joy that leads to sorrow?

Ah!

It turns out this guy was scared to the point of tears, I can't believe it, with such a small courage, he dares to try to flirt like others

Never mind that, anyway there will be a good show to watch after school. Do you remember the last time someone secretly placed a love letter in Lin Moying's drawer, and it ended up being discovered by Zhang Yang? Tsk tsk tsk, the very next day, that person transferred schools.

Upon witnessing this scene, the crowd's discussions intensified. The teacher on the podium shook his head and let out a soft sigh, offering no further comments. After all, there are some matters where he felt powerless despite his intentions.

Amidst the hushed whispers, everyone's gaze inevitably shifted to the front, to the seat at the front of the second row, where a girl was sitting, a very beautiful girl

As a key class in the third high school, Class 1 of the senior year, which houses the majority of outstanding students, is even more so. With over fifty students, nearly all are immersed in a sea of books and questions. In the spacious classroom, apart from the sound of pages turning and the rustling of notes, there is no other sound, creating an atmosphere of profound silence

As a member of the human race, amidst the great tides of this world, Zhongli has yet to become a master of the currents, continuing to live in a state of confusion and drifting along with the flow

Only Lin Moying, after a moment of hesitation, got up and followed.

Is all of this real

And when Zhongli's consciousness awakened and he opened his eyes, he found that he had returned, back to a decade ago, to an era before everything had begun

What audacity, he even dares to touch Lin Moying

Connection completed: Shenwu Intelligent Brain is starting up

In the second year after the great upheaval, the Earth Federation was established. Zhong Li responded to the call to enlist and became a new recruit of the Federation. Over the next three years, he experienced life and death countless times in numerous battles. By the fourth year after the upheaval, miraculously, he had not died on the battlefield and had even managed to become a junior officer, barely achieving some level of success

With this, the human race barely established a foothold amidst the competition of the hundred clans. However, once the gods of the starry sky truly entered the battlefield, the still immature human race found it difficult to resist the inevitable path towards defeat

In fact, Zhong Li's popularity is no longer a matter of good or bad; he hardly has any presence at all. His personality is reclusive, and at least from others' perspective, he has always been out of place. He has few friends in class and is entirely a dispensable character

As the masters of Earth, humanity has also gained the qualification to compete among the hundred races. However, the level of civilization of humanity is far behind that of the myriad races in the universe. The technological weapons that countless great nations take pride in are, in the face of the hundred races protected by the gods of the starry sky, as pale and powerless as paper. At the beginning of the competition among the hundred races, humanity has experienced the crisis of annihilation more than once.

Longhai, San Zhong, Longhai San Zhong

The collapse of the Earth Federation, the fall of the saints of humanity, the remaining humans are either kept by the gods, becoming a source of faith, or become slaves and food for other races

Such a person has attracted trouble for teasing girls, and naturally, the crowd is delighted to watch the spectacle

In his previous life, his life trajectory took a turn at Longhai No. 3 Middle School due to a misunderstanding, leading to an unforeseen disaster that caused him to drop out of school and become part of the wave of laborers, living in a daze until the great upheaval occurred five years later

Despite the gloating gazes around him, Zhongli did not take them to heart, for at this moment, he was no longer concerned about how others viewed him; his mind was solely focused on one thought

A few murmurs, raising my eyes, the scene that comes into view is both familiar and unfamiliar, precisely the past that has been sealed in memory

You do not know, is it not because of Lin Moying

Lin Moying

Current intelligence brain permission level: 1, Divine Martial Points: 100

I have also heard about this matter; it seems that someone will have a great time after school.

The boys in the class, aside from being engrossed in their studies, mostly stole glances at her, as if they were in a scene from a movie from a few years ago. In fact, to many, the female lead in that film was not as beautiful as she was
