The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

The car continued its rapid journey, the beasts still charging forward relentlessly. The roar of the engine echoed through the night. This steel behemoth appeared so small amidst the endless tide of beasts, advancing perpendicularly to both sides, seemingly about to be torn apart by the giant waves at any moment.

Li Yu remained silent, his frantic release of mental energy causing swarms of strange beasts to fall into a deep sleep. His mental energy illuminated a corner of Kunlun Mountain in the darkness, appearing from the sky like a twinkling star. However, the beast tide was simply too vast. Even with Li Yu's best efforts, he could only ensure the safety of the surrounding area. Outside the area where the beasts were asleep, the tide showed no signs of slowing down.

Even though they haven't been torn apart by the beast tide yet, the breadth of this beast tide is ridiculously large, and they will be surrounded sooner or later... The path that this vehicle can travel is becoming narrower and narrower.

As for what will happen then...

Zhu Chengzhu hoped that his team leader could come up with a solution.

And now... he can only take it one step at a time.

Zhu Chengzhu had also discovered that the mental energy barrier surrounding him was the reason he hadn't fallen asleep yet, while the others in the car seemed to have fallen asleep before Li Yu unleashed his full power.

And what's most deadly is that the giant, as tall as a mountain in the darkness, is still following them.

For a fleeting moment when Li Yu unleashed his spiritual power, Zhu Chengzhu did feel a glimmer of hope, but he quickly realized that the situation was still dire...

Even under such tense circumstances, Zhu Chengzhu's mutterings hadn't stopped since that roar.

"Boss, have you thought about what to do?"

"The guys are all asleep. You don't mean to let them die without suffering, do you?"

“Old Tang and Old Cui haven’t left their last words yet. You know Xiao Zhang’s situation; he’s an orphan with no parents. You should at least let them pass on their last words. My son needs to know too; his father died a heroic death… Won’t I get a first-class merit then? But what’s the use of a first-class merit? My wife and children, a widow and orphan, won’t they be bullied? That woman better not remarry…”

Within Li Yu's seven orifices, there was still a solid spiritual force that dispersed like liquid, creating an extremely powerful field of slumber. All carbon-based life forms within this field could not escape the fate of falling into a coma.

At that moment, Li Yu suddenly moved.

His mouth moved slightly, and a very faint sound was squeezed out from his throat.

The noise inside the car was too loud and the ride too bumpy. The roars of the strange beasts outside never stopped, and the loud crashes as they fell to the ground were deafening. Of course, Zhu Chengzhu couldn't hear the words that Li Yu squeezed out of his throat.

"Boss!? What did you say!?"

"Can I leave a will? I hope my son can live a good life, study hard and become a useful person to society and the country. Like his father, even in death, he should die a glorious death, for his friends and family, for dignity and honor. He shouldn't live a mediocre life, but should have something to strive for. In this world, we don't know who my son's awakened memories really are. If he has some combat ability, I'll keep his father's three-group number for him..."

"My wife..."

Boom! ——

Zhu Chengzhu was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

The already surging and powerful spiritual energy was now erupting once again!
At that moment, Li Yu's voice pierced through the thunderous roar, striking Zhu Chengzhu's mind like a thunderclap!
"Shut up!!"

Zhu Chengzhu was taken aback: "Ah, did you just say shut up? I thought you were telling me to leave my saliva..."

But at that very moment, a sound suddenly emerged, overpowering all the noise under the starry sky, and resounded throughout the mountains!

The voice was incredibly deep and resonant, like the mountains speaking, dry and hoarse, as if it had traveled across the river of time from ancient times to the present!

The interruption of Zhu Chengzhu's unfinished words reached Li Yu's ears!

"Don't...run away..."

Zhu Chengzhu's face turned deathly pale. The oppressive aura was too powerful, and the sound was too terrifying amidst the boundless beast tide. It was like a giant ship sailing in the deep sea seeing a huge, twisted figure appear amidst the raging waves below—a feeling of terror that came from the very depths of his genes!

Li Yu's seven orifices were emitting white light, obscuring his expression, but his sudden tremor revealed the shock he felt at that moment.

Who spoke first?

Is that the giant?!

That enormous entity, which could only be seen as a silhouette under the moonlight, was actually some kind of creature? Does that even make sense?!

However, Li Yu did not delve into these matters.

He was responsible for the three groups and for the team members who had fought alongside him in the Kunlun Mountains for three months.

He has already come up with several action plans.

When beast tides appear on both the north and south sides, all action plans are reduced to one: the greatest possibility that allows all three groups to survive.

This realm of slumber is just the beginning.

Li Yu's burst of mental power did not merely construct this enormous domain of slumber.

From beginning to end, Li Yu understood that while the beast tide posed a significant threat, it wasn't fatal. Only the towering giant, as large as a mountain, was the true culprit that made him feel surrounded by danger. Even if the beast tide subsided, as long as the giant continued to pursue them, the final outcome would remain unchanged.

For Li Yu, now is not the right time.

But at this moment, when the voice that seemed to come from the giant's mouth made Li Yu realize that he had to put his plan into action ahead of schedule.

In the blink of an eye, the beast tide had already surrounded the edge of the sleeping domain.

The strange beasts, oblivious to death, were violently colliding with their own kind. Muffled thuds echoed throughout the mountains, their roars and howls rising dramatically. From the air, the scene resembled the collision of two enormous black waves, a truly magnificent spectacle.

Although Zhu Chengzhu was a chatterbox, it did not prevent him from faithfully carrying out orders.

Li Yu has not yet given any instructions. He is still gritting his teeth and pressing the accelerator. Even though an impact is imminent, he has never let go of the accelerator pedal.

At this moment, the realm of slumber came to a halt.

The bright white light of the spiritual energy leaking from Li Yu's body and seven orifices suddenly dimmed.

give up?
Zhu Chengzhu's pupils suddenly contracted, somewhat taken aback, but before he could even begin to think, a brighter flash suddenly appeared!
Like a divine light descending from heaven, it was so dazzling, bright, and enormous that it suddenly appeared in the night sky, and could even be described as "holy." It was a huge, bright pillar of light that rose from the ground, originating from the car!

The enormous pillar of light contained boundless destructive power and was extremely hot!

Zhu Chengzhu was stunned.

In the two years he spent in Group Three, he had never seen Li Yu unleash such formidable power!
Is this... the ability of the fifth-ranked player?
Just as Zhu Chengzhu was in awe, the enormous pillar of light crashed down like a mountain range that had been snapped in half, slamming heavily into the mountains in front of him.

Boom! !
This pure energy struck the ground, instantly shattering its original shape and transforming into a river of light, which then exploded in the next instant.

It was as if a massive nuclear bomb with unimaginable power had been detonated in the mountains. Its power was so great that it even scorched the ground and turned it black. Where the beast tides converged, all the strange beasts were vaporized. Zhu Chengzhu could even see the bodies of the strange beasts at the edge that were suddenly ignited by the high-temperature air. The strange beasts had already begun to burn while they were running wildly and were turned to ashes by the extreme heat in an instant!

This power is even more terrifying than the beast tide itself!
Within a full kilometer, not a single blade of grass grows!
The encircling beast tide has now vanished. Although the beast tide is still ongoing, the road ahead of the vehicle is now a smooth one!
Fortunately, the intense heat did not reach the car. Even while unleashing such power, Li Yu was still able to spare a thought to protect their location.
Zhu Chengzhu now regrets that he should have waited until this moment to say "invincible Li Yu"!
This is the power of the armor!?
How could Xia Daoba from the Ministry of War compete with Li Yu for the fifth place in the Imperial Guard?! Even as the massive sea of ​​light dissipated, and the beast tide continued unabated...
However, just as Zhu Chengzhu was shaken by this scene, Li Yu's voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Take them away."

Zhu Chengzhu looked at Li Yu in astonishment, his eyes filled with confusion.

They could have escaped... so why did you say you wanted to take them away?

What about you?

But before he could even ask the question, Li Yu had already opened the car door.

At this moment, Zhu Chengzhu noticed out of the corner of his eye that the black giant behind him was already very close.

The sudden sense of oppression made his heart stop for a moment.

"Keep driving forward and get in touch with headquarters or the military as soon as possible."

"Do not worry about me."

After saying that, he leaped into the air, his body covered in light composed of spiritual energy, and rushed straight towards the giant. In the blink of an eye, he had already soared into the sky, heading straight for the giant's head! Several huge light spears appeared out of thin air, striking the giant's head a step ahead of Li Yu.

Boom! Boom!
Several loud explosions followed, and the giant's grayish-blue skin finally revealed itself in the light. The explosions caused the giant to stagger backward, with countless stones raining down on it.

However, this did not seem to affect the stone giant's movements at all. After staggering backward, it immediately swung its arm. Its body was incredibly heavy, but its speed was surprisingly fast. The huge whooshing sound could be heard even by Zhu Chengzhu in the car... Li Yu's body flashed with light, and he quickly dodged the giant arm, then continued to fight it...

Seeing this, Zhu Chengzhu understood that staying would not bring any good results and would only be a burden to Li Yu.

He gritted his teeth, brought his gaze back to what was in front of him, and dared not let up on the accelerator...

If there are still problems ahead, then they'll have to rely on themselves.

……

At this very moment, it is 4:00 AM on January 1st.

The top floor of the headquarters of the Yanjing organization.

Zhou Shan was frowning as he looked at the document that had just been displayed on the holographic screen in front of him.

[Special divine manifestation].

[Confidentiality Level: Highest]

[Danger Level: Highest]

[Scope of application: Global]

An unidentified space, resembling a "blood pool," has appeared within Stonehenge in the United Kingdom. British authorities suspect it is related to Lilith.

[An unusual phenomenon occurred in the Mesopotamian plain: a phantom city appeared on the right bank of the lower Euphrates River, completely covering the ruins of the ancient city of Uruk.]

A beam of light was observed at the Pyramid of Cholula in the Mayan civilization of the Americas, visible for a range of 20 kilometers. The exact cause is unknown, and Mosaic authorities are sealing off the surrounding area. Simultaneously, Mosaic authorities are requesting international assistance, asking our second and third-level awakened members to go and help.

【…】

As Zhou Shan looked at the messages, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Considering the various chaotic situations currently occurring within the country, even Zhou Shan felt overwhelmed.

This event... was something they had never seen in their ancient book of prophecy.

Such a major event could not possibly go unrecorded. Could it be that this event was not predicted back then?
If even the end of the world could be predicted, why wasn't this matter mentioned?
"It wasn't unforeseen..."

"Has the future already changed?"

Zhou Shan immediately got up, quickly walked into the elevator, and pressed the button for the lowest floor.

The sixth basement level is where the organization's confidential warehouse is located. The chessboard and the dagger in Jiang Chuan's hand are both kept here.

After Zhou Shan passed numerous tests, the huge, heavy metal door opened with a loud bang.

What comes into view are rows and rows of huge shelves, filled with all sorts of items—knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks—it's practically a museum of cold weapons. However, besides the weapons, there are also some very old and worn-out bottles and jars, some of which are even trembling, as if something is trying to break free…

However, Zhou Shan's target was certainly not these. He walked past rows of shelves without looking to either side, stopped in front of a security door, and surprisingly went through another access verification process before entering the last room of the warehouse. This room was not large, as could be seen from the numbering... It contained a total of 99 items.

The Rotten Chessboard, part of Collection No. 3, is prominently displayed there.

However, Zhou Shan walked directly to the back of the room and stood in front of a vacuum glass jar. Inside the jar was a tattered and tattered ancient book.

This nameless ancient book is the starting point for the organization's existence.

It records all the major events that are about to happen in the future.

Zhou Shan opened the vacuum container and took out the ancient book. He wanted to confirm whether the future had changed or if there was no such record in the book at all.

However, the moment he grasped the ancient book in his hand, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Memories buried in the dust...

It was gradually awakening in his mind.

In his memory, Zhou Shan recalled discussing this matter with Song Chen and Lu Bin.

But that was right after I got my hands on that ancient book, and then I seemed to have forgotten about it...

Even Zhou Shan looked somewhat surprised.

It wasn't that it wasn't in the book... I just didn't remember it?
wrong……

His previously somewhat bewildered expression immediately turned serious.

"It's not that I didn't remember... it's that the timeline has changed." (End of Chapter)
