Chapter 40: The Old Heaven is Dead, the New Heaven Shall Rise
Chapter 40: The Old Heaven is Dead, the New Heaven Shall Rise
A new world forged from the ruins of the old?
Can in-game power be brought into reality?
The massive influx of information overwhelmed the Snow Leopard and his five companions.
If this had been a week ago, Snow Leopard would have dismissed Su Yu's claims as delusional, considering them nothing but wild fantasies.
But now...
Thousands of alien spacecraft hover over the 3,732 psychic springs! And with Su Yu being the top player in the game, it wasn't so hard to believe his words.
Su Yu's expression remained gentle.
He spoke calmly, "Yes, once a player reaches level 50, they can bring their in-game abilities and skills into the real world. This is the gift the Singer Civilization has bestowed upon us, the people of Blue Star."
"The Singer Civilization."
Hearing this name, Snow Leopard immediately believed 80% of what Su Yu was saying.
All information about the "Singer Civilization" was classified! Only the top government officials of the five permanent members of the Security Council knew about it.
The fact that Su Yu could mention the "Singer Civilization" by name meant his words were likely true!
Snow Leopard subtly signaled to his sister.
Snowfall, understanding the cue, spoke in her soft, girlish voice, "Great Master, who are you? How do you know all of this?"
Su Yu smiled and shook his head, turning his back to the six of them.
He looked up at the sky and spoke with a tone of deep wisdom, "We old ones have lived for far too long. It wasn't until the psychic awakening yesterday that I awoke from my 1,900-year slumber."
"Who I am is not important, but I did say something that you might recognize."
Su Yu's figure seemed that of a frail, ancient elder. He slowly moved forward and softly said, "The old heaven is dead, the new heaven shall rise."
"According to the calendar, this is the year of Jiazi, and all will be well in the world."
By the time he finished the last two words, Su Yu's form began to fade, disappearing into the void.
"He's gone!" Truth of Range pointed at the spot where Su Yu had vanished, stunned.
Could it be that this elder has transcended the game, reaching a realm of supreme mastery and freedom?
Otherwise, how could he just vanish like that?
"‘The old heaven is dead, the new heaven shall rise’?" Steel Tide March was equally shocked, "Isn't that the slogan of the Yellow Turban Rebellion during the Three Kingdoms period?"
Snowfall's body trembled, her dagger almost slipping from her hand, "Could it be that Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, didn't die? Has he been alive all this time? Could Kexing be Zhang Jiao?!"
"Is that even possible?" Snow Leopard's mind was a jumbled mess.
Today's events had completely shattered their worldview.
But from Kexing's performance, it didn't seem like it was a lie.
The six of them stood motionless at the entrance of Wolf King Valley for a long time.
After a while, they gradually came to their senses.
Snow Leopard bowed toward the spot where Su Yu had disappeared, not caring if he could hear, and said solemnly, "We are deeply grateful for your guidance, Elder Zhang. If there's anything we can do to help in the future, we will do so without hesitation!"
But there was no response from Su Yu.
Snow Leopard sighed and turned to his teammates, "This matter is too significant! We must report it to our superiors immediately!"
His four teammates nodded urgently.
Snow Leopard then looked at Snowfall, "Fall, continue playing the game, but don't mention today's events to anyone!"
Snowfall, still in a daze, nodded weakly.
"And," Snow Leopard patted his sister's shoulder, "the plan to seduce Kexing needs to be accelerated! Fall, you must try your hardest. If you succeed, the organization will award you a First-Class Merit!"
Snowfall: "..."
Snow Leopard gave his teammates a few more instructions and then logged out of the game.
Meanwhile, Su Yu began leveling up in Wolf King Valley.
Wolf King Valley was teeming with black and white wolves.
- Howling Wolf (Level 10)
- Health: 140
Su Yu had reached Level 7, 13%. The Howling Wolf had a 3-level advantage over him, reducing his damage by about 30-35%.
But that was no problem.
Su Yu's equipment was top-notch, and his skills were of high quality. Even the Howling Wolf fell in droves under his spells. By the end, he even started wearing high-speed leather armor to pull multiple enemies while leveling up.
...
During his leveling, Su Yu also reflected on his encounter with Snow Leopard.
He had met Snow Leopard to pass on the information that "reaching Level 50 allows one to manifest their power" to the government. He couldn't say it in reality, but in the game, there were no worries—Snow Leopard couldn't trace his real identity through the game.
Fighting the Sklar civilization was a matter for all of humanity. Even if Su Yu were as powerful as the Casting Dragon King, he would still have no chance against the entire Sklar civilization. His actions were aimed at making the Blue Star humans stronger as quickly as possible.
Pretending to be Zhang Jue had another reason.
Due to the resurgence of psychic abilities, many ancient greats had awakened and were active again in the world.
After the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the psychic abilities on Blue Star gradually withered, leading to the Age of Waning Magic. During the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, only the old Zhu of the Ming Dynasty survived against fate, while all other emperors became dried bones in their tombs.
However, before the Age of Waning Magic, many greats had managed to survive, including those from the Spring and Autumn, Qin and Han, Three Kingdoms, and Sui and Tang periods.
Su Yu pretended to be Zhang Jue to alert the relevant authorities: "Those old guys are back!"
He hoped the authorities would understand his message.
At 2 PM.
Zhong Feng, in a neat military uniform, paced anxiously in front of a small meeting room at the military district headquarters.
Soon, the meeting room door opened.
Several dignitaries in formal attire walked out.
These dignitaries didn't speak to him, only giving him a meaningful glance before passing by.
Then, a weary voice came from inside the meeting room: "Zhong Feng, come in."
"Yes."
Zhong Feng stepped into the meeting room.
"Comrade Zhang, how is the discussion about my report going?" he asked immediately upon entering.
He had quickly compiled and submitted a detailed report about his encounter with the Sklar civilization after logging off the game.
The one responsible for reviewing the report was the Comrade Zhang in front of him.
At this moment, Comrade Zhang was massaging his temples, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. Since receiving the Sklar civilization's warning, he hadn't slept for days.
"Zhong Feng, sit down," Comrade Zhang gestured to a seat beside him.
After Zhong Feng sat down, Zhang smiled and said, "We've had an initial discussion about your report, but I still have many questions about the details."
He sat up straight, his eyes sharp: "For example, in your report, you claim that Zhang Jue from the Three Kingdoms period is still alive and has become a gaming expert? Are you serious?"
