Chapter 1182: A Sudden Turn of Events (Part 1)
The ring was so precious; the items inside must be even more formidable, right?
The Dragon Emperor couldn't wait to probe the ring with its mental energy.
What it saw inside made it gasp in surprise! Neatly arranged within the ring were over twenty pieces of dragon gear, and a few of them were even masterpieces! The current dragon population didn't even have such high-quality gear!
It truly hadn't expected Su Yu to give it so many pieces of dragon gear.
Su Yu smiled slightly. "Your Majesty, these are dragon gear crafted by me and the top human artisans of Blue Star. The top three pieces, in particular, required a lot of effort and precious materials. I hope you like them!"
These dragon gear pieces were crafted by Su Yu and "Big Hammer 80," and as part of the deal, "Big Hammer 80's" child was among the 200 children brought to Dragon Island.
"Big Hammer 80," the only Master Blacksmith among humans, had crafted these pieces with unparalleled skill.
With Su Yu's assistance and the provision of high-quality materials, this batch of dragon gear reached an extremely high standard, even making the Dragon Emperor's heart race with excitement!
The Dragon Emperor, Cadrigos, was indeed thrilled!
In the past, it had dismissed the low-quality dragon gear crafted by Blue Star humans, distributing them to the lesser dragons.
But now, seeing a chestplate of at least Epic quality lying at the top of the ring, its heart thumped heavily. This piece of gear could significantly boost its combat prowess even if it wore it!
"Such fine gifts, how can I possibly accept them?"
Though it said it was "uncomfortable," the Dragon Emperor Cadrigos quickly stashed the ring away, as if fearing Su Yu might change his mind.
This was the first time it had shown its greed in front of Su Yu.
"These are just small tokens, not worth mentioning," Su Yu said, his tone growing more serious. "However, in light of these gifts, I hope your clan can provide us humans with some preferential treatment."
"Of course! The humans of Blue Star are our best friends!" The Dragon Emperor agreed immediately. "I promise that as long as our dragons have food, the humans of Blue Star won't go hungry!"
At the same time, it used its mental energy to add, "I promise to treat the humans of Blue Star as equally as our own dragons among all the clans!"
"That's good. Thank you, Your Majesty," Su Yu said with a smile.
Su Yu then turned to his senior, Zhu Yuanzhang. "Senior Zhu, the 'Memory Bubble' contains the techniques for forging dragon gear. Such crucial knowledge must not be lost! I hope you can master it soon and put it to good use."
"!!! Rest assured, I will!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he immediately absorbed the "Memory Bubble" into his mind.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a shrewd individual. Without Su Yu's reminder, he immediately understood the importance of the "dragon gear forging techniques"!
This knowledge represented the value of Blue Star humans to the dragons.
With this knowledge, the humans of Blue Star would be the most valuable clan in the eyes of the dragons, far more useful than other clans! The humans could forge gear for the dragons, while most other clans were not only useless but also a drain on resources.
If a major crisis, such as a severe food shortage, were to occur in the future, and the dragons had to sacrifice a few or even dozens of clans to ensure food supply, the humans of Blue Star would be among the first to be spared thanks to this knowledge!
Thus, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately absorbed the "Memory Bubble" and began to master the knowledge. Storing it in his mind was the safest option!
When Su Yu mentioned the "dragon gear forging techniques" in the "Memory Bubble," the Dragon Emperor Cadrigos was initially tempted to seize the "Memory Bubble" for itself. It wanted that knowledge too!
However, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang absorb the "Memory Bubble" into his mind and Su Yu standing guard, it could only reluctantly refrain from acting.
Fine, it would honor its promise and treat the humans of Blue Star better, considering them the most important clan.
"Alright, we've said enough. It's time for us to go," Su Yu said to Xiaotian, the Dragon Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Winged God Dragon, and the children of Blue Star.
"Goodbye, President Ke!"
"Goodbye, Sir Su Yu!"
"Goodbye, Friend Su Yu!"
The Dragon Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Winged God Dragon, and the children all bid them farewell.
It was less than ten days until Dalak returned to Blue Star. This parting might very well be a final farewell!
At that moment, Xiaotian, who had been silent, spoke up. "By the way, Senior Zhu, there's an important piece of information in the 'Memory Bubble'—I buried most of the historical artifacts at the foot of the Himalayas. The 'Memory Bubble' contains detailed geographical information. If you return to Blue Star, remember to retrieve them!"
Over the past week, while Su Yu was mainly selecting children and crafting dragon gear, Xiaotian hadn't been idle.
In addition to helping Su Yu with the selection of children, she had also done something crucial—she transported the precious historical artifacts of Blue Star to the foot of the Himalayas.
These artifacts were invaluable, including rare paintings, sculptures, and artworks from the top museums of various countries.
These artifacts couldn't be taken by Link and his companions, nor could they be moved to Dragon Island.
After much consideration, Xiaotian transported all the artifacts to the Himalayas and set up special defensive arrays to protect them.
These artifacts were not living beings, and Dalak and its minions had no interest in them.
Thus, setting up defensive arrays to protect them from the destructive forces of the Blood Sacrifice would ensure their preservation. They could be retrieved and used in the future.
"Alright, if I can return to Blue Star, I will retrieve these artifacts as soon as possible," Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.
These artifacts were the essence of human civilization.
Xiao Tian consciously protected these essences, leaving a significant legacy for human civilization.
"Goodbye, everyone!"
"Goodbye!"
After another farewell, the portal opened, and Su Yu and Xiao Tian’s figures vanished into the sky.
The Divine Dragon, Senior Zhu, and the children of Blue Star watched this scene, unable to tear their eyes away.
Time flew by swiftly.
Soon, it was the 9th of November.
On the 9th of November, autumn had arrived, and the weather across the lands of Huaxia was generally clear and pleasant.
After nearly two months of ravaging, the violet aura that shrouded Blue Star had mostly dissipated.
Now, the once-overwhelming violet aura in the sky was reduced to a faint trace, and the violet chaotic energy on the ground had been absorbed by the wind leaves.
Without the threat of chaotic energy, Blue Star once again burst with vibrant life!
Though it was now autumn, it was just the beginning, and with the abundant energy of Blue Star, the wilderness of North China was filled with lush greenery, dripping with vitality!
The cities were the same, withered park lawns, flower beds, and street-side trees bursting with rich green.
Sprouts of green broke through the soil, and the view was filled with lush green!
But people were indifferent to this green. Everyone knew that the end was near, and the arrival of the enemy at the Planetary Fourth Stage was inevitable.
After a great calamity and food shortages, the population of Blue Star was only a third of its peak, around 2.7 billion people.
Now, these 2.7 billion people did nothing, gathering in groups, numb and half-heartedly chatting with those around them.
"Heh, these past few days have been the end of the world, haven't they?"
"Time, it has been. Ahem! Ahem!"
It was an old man who spoke, he took a deep drag on his cigarette, white hair flying, accompanied by violent coughs.
"Ah! No matter what, to witness"Ah!"
"Ah!"
In a chorus of sighs, people quietly awaited the arrival of death.
Meanwhile, Su Yu and Xiao Tian sat side by side on the waist of Mount Himalaya.
Their high altitude, and the snow everywhere, creating a stark white backdrop to an extremely cold world.
Sitting on the snow, they had a round energy shield behind them, protecting the most valuable historical artifacts from around the world.
But because of the many historical artifacts... No, to be precise, there were too many valuable, historically significant artifacts, and the round shield they used was the largest size, with a diameter of 2 kilometers!
It was because the shield was too large, Su Yu and Xiao Tian were worried that the shield wouldn’t withstand the impact of the blood sacrifice. The cultural preservation plan would fail by a hair.
To solve this problem, after serious discussions, Su Yu and Xiao Tian decided not to go anywhere else, staying right in front of the shield.
If they stayed, the shield would not be broken by the force of the blood sacrifice, and it would continue to withstand the impact.
Sitting on the snow, Su Yu and Xiao Tian gazed up at the starry sky, silent and motionless.
This state had persisted for a day and a night.
During this day and night, they remained here, as if carved from ice.
Indeed, there was no need to move.
It was enough to quietly wait for the arrival, as any other action would be in vain.
...
Until noon at 12 o'clock, it was the small prodigy who spoke the first words.
"Killer."
"What's wrong?" Su Yu turned his neck stiffly to look at her.
"In fact matter of fact, I had a question I wanted to ask, at this moment, can you tell me the reason?"
"What question?"
"It's like this."
Xiao Tian also turned his head to look at Su Yu and let the wind-scattered hair: "Remember our first time entering the ‘Evolution’ game, how did you manage to progress so far beyond all others in the game?"
Xiao Tian frowned slightly: "Even though you have a lot of game talent, there are too many talented people in the world, why you?"
"Why not me?"
"No, what I mean..." Xiao Tian thought for a moment, spoke in a"InIn the field of game talent, the top 2 to 1000 have an average score, with no significant gap between the 2nd andThis is like a test with a total score of 100, the 2nd place is 80, the 3rd place is 80, and the 10th place is 79.5, slowly dropping.
But you're different...
Xiao Tian’s eyes stared intently at Su Yu’s face: "If the scores from 2nd to 1000 are in the 70-80 range, then you have 100! This is not something that can be explained by game talent alone, the only reasonable explanation is that you have strong game talent and also have access to game information or cheats.
"Was my guess right?"
Xiao Tian stared at Su Yu, her large eyes filled with tension.
She wasn't the only one; many people, including the United Government, had speculated about Su Yu's game start. Everyone thought Su Yu's beginning was too outrageous, even more so than a perfect hand in mahjong.
But they didn't delve too deep into it, given the imminent threat of the Skrull invasion. Who had the time or energy to waste on such matters?
So, few people paid attention to this aspect until now.
With Blue Earth on the brink of destruction, Xiao Tian suddenly thought of this question again and decided to ask.
At this point, Su Yu shouldn't keep it a secret from her, right?
...
Hearing Xiao Tian's question, Su Yu's lips twitched bitterly.
Xiao Tian's words stirred the deepest pain in his heart—despite being reborn, he still couldn't save Blue Earth from the impending doom, not even his own life.
Back when he first breached the Skrull base and Link offered him the invitation to the Holy Silver Secret Court, Su Yu truly believed this life was secure! Even if he couldn't solve the Skrull threat, he had a fallback (though he never intended to retreat).
But now...
Mixed emotions surged within him, leaving him at a loss for words.
Seeing Su Yu remain silent for so long, Xiao Tian's beautiful eyes dimmed slightly.
She turned her head, hugging her knees, and muttered, "It's fine if you don't want to say. Everyone has their secrets..."
But before she could finish, Su Yu's voice, tinged with complexity, interrupted her. "Actually, I'm a reborn."
"A reborn?" Xiao Tian's forehead creased with a huge question mark. "What's a reborn?"
Su Yu was finally willing to share his reason, but the term "reborn" was new to her. "A reborn is someone who, after dying, not only doesn't die but also returns to the past due to some unknown reason, starting a new life."
At this point, Su Yu felt there was no need to hide anything from Xiao Tian. With death imminent, even the highest secrets like "rebirth" were no longer worth keeping.
Su Yu looked at the distant horizon and began recounting his past life, sharing his experiences and the lessons he learned from the game.
As Su Yu slowly narrated his past, Xiao Tian's shock reached its peak!
Good heavens! Is this for real?!
There are actually reborns in the world?
Su Yu had no reason to joke with her now, right? No, no, no, right?
Suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, Xiao Tian decided to listen on, regardless.
...
Su Yu recounted his past life, the legendary figures both inside and outside the game, and the experiences he gained from the game that greatly benefited him in this life.
As she listened, Xiao Tian began to feel that Su Yu's story might be true! Everything sounded so real!
If she were to be reborn, Xiao Tian believed she could easily become the top player too.
After a while, when Su Yu mentioned the Snow Leopard and Thousand Cups, and the betrayal of the Heaven-Cleaving Sword, Xiao Tian couldn't hold back any longer.
"Stop! Just stop for a moment!" Xiao Tian covered her forehead, feeling her brain about to explode.
"What's wrong?" Su Yu looked at Xiao Tian calmly.
For some reason, the closer he was to death, the calmer Su Yu became.
Especially after revealing the secret of his "rebirth," Su Yu felt no more burdens, his mind as calm as still water.
"If you are really a reborn..." Xiao Tian's brows knitted together. "Can you tell me a few things that happened in your past life but didn't happen in this one?"
She added, "Preferably something related to me, so I can judge better."
Although she instinctively felt Su Yu had no reason to lie to her, especially not now, she still found it hard to believe.
This was too bizarre!
Rebirth?
Could such a thing really happen?
"About you..." Su Yu was taken aback. "In my past life, I was just an ordinary person, entering the game six months after it started. There was no way I could have interacted with a top player like you. I only occasionally heard your ID on the forums."
"Then what was my reputation in your past life?" Xiao Tian asked.
The question felt strange, as if she were asking about a dream version of herself.
"In my past life, you left me two impressions," Su Yu held up two fingers. "The first was that you were a big red hand, often getting top-tier gear. Every time the Imperial Blood Elite Team cleared a boss, it was almost always you who got the loot."
"Really?" Xiao Tian tilted her head, her cheeks puffing out.
She was indeed incredibly lucky.
Could this be the reason Su Yu wanted to recruit her early in this life?
"And the second?"
"The second was that you really liked pandas," Su Yu replied. "In the middle of the game, you obtained a panda pet and loved it dearly.
However, while the panda was cute, it wasn't very powerful.
