Volume 1: The Road to Idols

Chapter One: The Sudden Apocalypse

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Tang Ping glanced at his phone. Ten minutes had passed since the agreed time, but his girlfriend, Ma Feiyan, still hadn't shown up. He couldn't help but worry, as she had never made a mistake before.

He glanced at the chat software, which still hadn't received a reply, and decided to call directly to ask if he had encountered any trouble.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. Isn't it said that the Little Ice Age hasn't arrived yet?"

White steam rose from her mouth as soon as she opened it, and Tang Ping couldn't help but rub her icy hands together.

beep...

No one answered the phone, and a sense of foreboding crept into his mind. He quickly opened his contacts to look for his girlfriend's parents' numbers.

But before he could even dial, he saw his girlfriend swaying and running towards him, looking like she might fall at any moment. He quickly went over and hugged her.

"What happened?"

Upon closer inspection, my girlfriend's face was frighteningly pale, devoid of any color, and her limbs were weak and sore that she could barely stand.

"...We lost."

Ma Feiyan said something dejected and baffling.

Just as Tang Ping was about to ask for details, he suddenly heard an old man's sigh.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I've done my best."

Tang Ping was startled and looked around to find that passersby had similar expressions.

Clearly, this wasn't just his own auditory hallucination; others had heard the same sound.

The moment doubt arose in his mind, before he could even ponder it, a series of strange changes rendered him incapable of thinking—

The world has collapsed.

Literally, everything in sight is collapsing and disintegrating, even space itself is shattered, turning into nothingness, like formatted data.

"What's going on?! Does this mean I didn't travel to a parallel universe, but instead entered the world of The Matrix while wearing a brain-computer interface?"

Tang Ping was completely bewildered.

He had always thought of himself as a lucky person who had transmigrated to a parallel universe. Unfortunately, he didn't have any special abilities, and he was content with his lot and had no great ambitions. Therefore, he did not follow the example of other transmigrators who stirred up trouble, but instead lived a quiet and ordinary life for 25 years.

With a mature and steady soul, Tang Ping was obedient and sensible from a young age, and had excellent grades. He not only got into a key university, but also passed the civil service exam after graduation. Later, through his friend's introduction, he met his current sweet and lovely girlfriend.

He was mentally prepared to live a quiet and uneventful life, never expecting that the world would be destroyed like this!

What kind of brain-dead screenwriter came up with this terrible ending? Could I have transmigrated into a poorly written, unfinished work?

No matter how frantic Tang Ping was inside, the collapse of the world continued and quickly spread to the living.

"In the end what happened?"

"My hand! No! Someone please save me!"

"Haha, I know, I'm dreaming now, and I'll be waking up soon."

People either screamed in emotional breakdown, shouted for help instinctively, or were stunned into a daze. But no matter what their reaction was, it could not stop the collapse from spreading. Their bodies gradually disintegrated, and no blood flowed from the missing parts, as if they were really made of data.

Seeing the panic of others, Tang Ping calmed down and quickly analyzed the situation, concluding that she was powerless to do anything about it, and thus resigned herself to her fate.

He looked down at Ma Feiyan in his arms and noticed that her shoulders were beginning to dissipate. He instinctively reached out to grab them, but only grasped at thin air. Panic flashed in his eyes.

Even though she had resigned herself to her fate, seeing her beloved about to pass away still caused her uncontrollable heartache, and she prayed for a miracle to happen.

On the contrary, Ma Feiyan herself did not show any fear. As usual, she showed a cheerful and sunny smile and said with a bittersweet smile, "To die in your arms in the end is not a bad romantic ending. I think it is barely acceptable."

Tang Ping opened her mouth, but found that a thousand words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word. All she could do was hug the other person tightly.

Against the backdrop of a collapsing world, he lowered his head and kissed her.

……

[Player death detected. First playthrough complete. Please choose to exit the game or start the second playthrough.]

In a spacious, white, cube-shaped room, a emotionless electronic voice rang out.

Tang Ping, who was lying in the middle of the room, opened her eyes and sat up as if she had come back from the dead. She nervously checked her whole body and found that everything was fine.

"Phew, it really was just a dream... Where am I? Unfamiliar walls, unfamiliar ceiling, did I just ride a rampaging giant robot?"

Tang Ping stood up and carefully observed her surroundings. Just as a hint of doubt appeared in her mind, she discovered that she had a piece of information in her mind that could explain the situation before her.

After carefully reading the information and drawing conclusions based on his own experience, he looked up and sighed, half relieved and half complaining, "A cheat that can only be activated after death, this mechanism is too ridiculous!"

He has confirmed that the cheat he received originated from a game he was playing before his previous life. It was a dating sim with numerical progression elements. Players initially control a villager with no special skills and improve their abilities through various training and events, thereby falling in love with female characters of different personalities and backgrounds.

Each time a player completes a level, they will receive one inheritance point and several enhancement points. Inheritance points can be used to inherit one of the talents possessed by the female characters they have already conquered, while enhancement points can be used to advance one of their own talents.

Tang Ping silently said "Open program," and two options immediately appeared in front of him: "Exit game" and "Continue game."

"Exit the game" is a no-brainer. If choosing this option allows you to return to your previous life's world, that would be ideal. But what if you only get a one-way ticket and no way to return home, and you just disappear?

Anyway, Tang Ping doesn't dare to gamble, unless he gets tired of living, then he might give it a try.

Heaven have mercy, he didn't live past thirty in either of his two lifetimes!

I decisively chose "Continue the game".

[Players who have completed multiple playthroughs can inherit one talent from a character they have already completed and gain enhancement points based on completion achievements. The achievement "Unrequited Love Between Human and Ghost" has been unlocked, and the completed character "Ma Feiyan" has 1 inheritance point and 1 enhancement point.]

Tang Ping stared blankly at the displayed achievement content. What does "love between a human and a ghost" mean?

Is Ma Feiyan actually a ghost, and has been in love with a ghost all along?

However, he had in-depth conversations with Ma Feiyan and genuinely felt her thoughtful warmth. Moreover, Ma Feiyan also had her own family and friends, who also did not notice anything unusual about her.

Or is it that... Ma Feiyan is a human, and I am the ghost?

Tang Ping thought and thought but couldn't come up with a solution. Hesitantly, he reached out and poked at the name "Ma Feiyan".

[Character: Ma Feiyan]

[Spiritual Rank: Heavenly General Ma Lingyao]

[Psionic Powers: Heavenly Decree, Cloud Riding, Summoning Heavenly Soldiers, Three-Eyed Divine Light, Demon-Suppressing Golden Spear]

[Heavenly Decree: A divine position endorsed by the Heavenly Court, possessing natural authority over the worship of licentious and immoral deities, and resistant to spells and curses]

【Soaring through the clouds: Transforming water vapor into clouds to lift the body into flight】

[Summoning Heavenly Soldiers: As a heavenly general, you can consume spiritual power to summon heavenly soldiers to fight for you]

【The Third Eye of the Horse King: His third eye can see through the truth and falsehood of things】

【Demon-Suppressing Golden Spear: A spear-shaped magical weapon stolen from the Ziwei Emperor, effective against demons and evil spirits】

"What the hell is this!"

Tang Ping had expected to see everyday terms like "dance trainee" or "photography enthusiast," or even ghost-related content like "possessed by a ghost." She never imagined it would be such a fantastical term.

What kind of world did I transmigrate to?

"Wait a minute! Think about it carefully. On the day the world was destroyed, Fei Yan seemed to have said something strange like 'We lost.' So, she was actually an ability user fighting monsters in the other world? I didn't travel to a parallel universe of Earth, but to a world with extraordinary abilities? The world was destroyed because the good guys were defeated by the bad guys?"

Tang Ping was speechless. When she was a child, she used to laugh at Xu Xian for being dull-witted. He had lived with Bai Suzhen for so long and never realized that the person next to him was not an ordinary person. She never thought that she was no better.

"This is so well hidden! I've lived with an adult's mindset for 25 years, and I haven't even noticed a single extraordinary clue. Am I just too slow-witted?"

Tang Ping couldn't help but question her ability to read people's expressions. Examining her past memories, she found that there were indeed a few suspicious points.

For example, we often hear news about natural gas pipeline explosions, and large-scale natural disasters occur even more frequently. People often post photos of strange phenomena online. However, the connection between these suspicious points is too weak, and unless we infer the cause from the effect, we will subconsciously ignore them.

Now that she knew the truth, there was no point in thinking about it anymore. Tang Ping quickly composed herself and turned her attention back to Ma Feiyan's ability interface.

"Is Ma Lingyao the legendary Lord Ma? It's a pity I haven't heard much about his stories, only the proverb 'Lord Ma has three eyes.' So, is the power system in this world based on spirit possession?"

After a moment's thought, Tang Ping decided to use her inheritance points and choose to inherit "Three-Eyed Aura".

Although the "Demon-Suppressing Spear" sounds more impressive, and the description even links it to the Ziwei Emperor, magic weapons are ultimately external objects. Not only are they too conspicuous, but if using them requires spiritual power or martial arts skills, then you'll be in trouble.

[Player: Tang Ping]

[Inherent Spiritual Ability: Three-Eyed Aura (Heavenly General Ma Lingyao)]

After inheriting the psionic power, Tang Ping did not feel any changes in her body, nor did she gain an extra eye on her forehead or the back of her head. She could only speculate that she could only use it in reality.

Then, without hesitation, he used up the remaining enhancement points.

Experienced players know that in the early stages of the game, you must develop your character as quickly as possible, using whatever resources you have and not being stingy with them.

【Three-Eyed Spiritual Radiance (Spiritual Official Ma Lingyao): Lord Ma's third eye, capable of seeing through the truth and falsehood of things, and discerning the sincerity and deceit of people's hearts】

Looking at the enhanced spiritual energy, Tang Ping stroked his chin and pondered, "Judging from the suffixes, 'Three-Eyed Spiritual Light' is the ability possessed by Lord Ma as a Heavenly General, while 'Three-Eyed Spiritual Radiance' is the ability possessed by Lord Ma as a Spiritual Official. So even the same deity can have differences due to their divine position? Or is it simply an upgrade path for the supernatural system in this world?"

With so little information at his disposal, he could only guess and couldn't figure out much.

After thinking it over, he realized he couldn't do much more here, so he tapped the "Start New Game Plus" option with his finger.

"To summarize my strategy, this time I need to get to know Fei Yan as soon as possible, and then use Fei Yan to access the extraordinary system. Even if I still can't clear the level, I must collect enough information to prepare for the next time. Of course, it would be best if I could clear the level in one go, since there's no guarantee that I'll have a next time."

Tang Ping was full of confidence. He was unprepared the first time, thinking it was just an ordinary everyday world, and wasted 25 years of his life. But the next time would be different. Now he was a reborn person with a huge information advantage.

[The second playthrough is about to begin. Players, please prepare yourselves. Part 5, Part 4...]

[Playing Tips: For multiple playthroughs, previous memories will be automatically erased, ensuring a completely new gameplay experience each time.]

Tang Ping noticed the tip in the corner of the progress bar and immediately changed his expression.

He knows himself too well. With his unambitious and lazy personality, if he knew in advance that the end of the world was coming, he might struggle to survive. But if he were born in a peaceful world, even if he were given a thousand chances, he would only make the same conservative decisions, and his life would be no different.

"Wait! Let me off the bus! I want to get off!"

"one!"

The moment the countdown ended, Tang Ping, who had been shouting loudly, vanished into thin air.

Chapter Two: The Psionic Administration

"We have finally reached the end of the universe."

Tang Ping looked up at the city archives gate in front of him and sighed, "I'm about to face the prospect of a life of complacency."

Having just graduated this year, he successfully passed the civil service exam. Although the archives is a low-paying job with meager salaries, it is easy and has almost no workload. Coincidentally, he is also a well-known online novelist. The two professions complement each other, making it a perfect match.

Filled with hope for the future, he stepped through the door and headed to the general office to report for duty.

The office door wasn't locked. Tang Ping knocked twice and then pushed the door open. To his surprise, the person sitting in the chair wasn't a pot-bellied middle-aged man or a retired old man reading a newspaper and drinking tea, but a man who was not yet forty, looked shrewd and capable, and had a strong leadership presence.

In addition, there was a sporty girl who was about the same age as him, tall and with obvious signs of exercise in her limbs, standing next to him.

The two of them turned their gazes toward Tang Ping simultaneously, with a hint of scrutiny in their eyes.

"Um... I'm Tang Ping, a new employee who joined today. Are you here to report for duty?"

Despite feeling that the two individuals' demeanor was out of place in a retirement paradise, Tang Ping decided to follow the proper procedures and refrain from asking unnecessary questions.

Upon hearing this, the male leader immediately revealed a warm smile like a political commissar and said, "You haven't come to the wrong place, you are indeed here to report for duty. However, Comrade Tang Ping, there is a small problem with your medical examination report."

Tang Ping hurriedly said, "No way, I've read the report. My physical condition is very good. I pay attention to exercise and I don't have any of the old-age diseases that young people often get these days."

"Don't be nervous. The accident I'm talking about isn't a bad thing; on the contrary, it's a great thing."
