Many years later, the first generation of awakened people on Earth still clearly remember the scene of that day.

The sun was setting, and the sky was full of blood clouds. The high priest held the scepter in his hand and looked at the mountains in the distance, letting the afterglow dye him into a golden red. The wind blew by, and his hair was tangled. He looked back at the camera, marking the last lesson of human awakening.

The class came to an end.

He told them that this was a world abandoned by God.

At first, no one understood what he meant. They only thought that the high priest's words were alluding to real-life disasters, such as the invasion of monsters and demons. It was not until the threat of "Doomsday" increased explosively that they realized

There is more than one meaning to this sentence.

When the light returns, all the mysteries will be solved.

It is true that the world abandoned by God is a prison, a battlefield, and a place of exile for souls. But equally, it is an opportunity, a trial, and even more—the origin of god creation!

Precisely because there is no God in the world, it is possible to create God, right?

It's a pity that there are very few awakened people who can understand this and seize the opportunity. When the fog cleared and the truth became clear, they discovered that every word the high priest once said was an eternal echo in human history.

Eternal and long.

The ancient video recorded that dusk when day and night were separated, his eyebrows, his smile, his voice and his goodness, which were recorded forever and became the beliefs and goals of generations of awakened people.

The image is like yesterday, and it will eventually become a wonderful scene. Even though the high priest's journey is across the stars and the sea, they are so lucky to be the first place where he stops.

At that time, I thought it was ordinary, but unexpectedly, it was the supreme light of an entire era.

Welcome to this world that was once abandoned by God...

Just because it is unclaimed land, it is now yours.

…

In early April, the four places in Central Continent resonated again, and the degree of cracking further expanded. A new monster appeared at the Lingdong boundary gate. It wreaked havoc on Lingdong for about ten minutes before being jointly strangled by Jiang Ziying and Shen Yunting, the awakened ones officially recruited by the military.

In early April, at the beginning of Jisi's classes, vortexes similar to "Boundary Gates" appeared in famous mountains, swamps or wastelands in major regions around the world.

Among them, the sacred mountain of Sakura Country was in turmoil, and a humanoid ghost crawled out, resembling the legendary centipede ghost woman. If it weren't for the inheritance of local mages and their descendants who dared to challenge, the consequences would have been disastrous.

In mid-April, as Jisi's teaching was coming to an end, a one-horned earth dragon appeared in the Gangdis River in Yoga Country.

Fortunately, three "saints" awakened in the temple. Not only did they join forces to kill the monster, but they also destroyed the temple with their own hands. After that, they took off their nose rings and ankle rings, freed themselves, and returned to the Yoga Kingdom unchanged for hundreds of years.

Declaring war on the dregs of tradition.

In late April, Ji Si and his party were preparing to return home, and the turmoil and deployment in Central Continent had all been settled.

"It's time to go back." Ji Si said, "Choose a place you like, I will not interfere with your choice."

April 22nd, New Moon. The High Priest and the Awakeneds returned to Central Continent. When they landed at the airport, they heard the expected news: the expansion of the Realm Gate and Demon Cave was completed, and the second round of monsters

Coming soon.

Compared to the panic of the informer, the awakened ones were more calm than the other. They formed their own teams and assigned tasks, and ran straight to the destination without making any adjustments.

Ji Tan stayed in Kyoto calmly. Before Wang Yiyuan, the "boy" whom he hadn't seen for a long time, could speak, he smiled and said, "Come on, take me to see the first batch of awakened children."

Wang Yiyuan was stunned and said: "There are not many, there are only fifteen people, and you have been in contact with three of them."

"Um?"

"One is Shu Yuting, one is...that kid is very good at drawing, but his personality is a bit autistic, and the other one is a boy you once came into contact with on a bus." Wang Yiyuan glanced at him carefully,

"Sorry, I went to check your whereabouts without your permission, but..."

"It doesn't matter." Ji Si chuckled, "Tell me directly, who is the most dangerous among these children?"

"It's the boy who studies painting." Wang Yiyuan lowered his voice, "his nickname is 'Dongdong', and his ability... is very scary. No one except the little girl Shu Yuting is willing to play with him."

"He once killed a demon alone." Wang Yiyuan's expression was a little hard to describe. "This child saved a whole building of people, but was frightened by them. His parents brought the child to Kyoto in anger, and he has been here ever since.

The Yanjing brigade has settled down."

Ji Si nodded slightly.

"Don't you feel angry?" Wang Yiyuan asked, "The child saved someone, but was frightened."

"It is the only path for the strong, what is there to be angry about?" Ji Si lowered his eyes, "The stronger you are, the lonelier you become. The stunning scenery at the top can only accommodate one person."

This was his realization early on, and it is also a truth that all his friends understand.

…

April 23, at 5 o'clock in the morning.

In the big explosion area outside the sea, the salvage fleet of the five countries jointly spent half a month and finally succeeded in hooking up a section of the alloy layer of the base covered with barnacles. The crew members from various countries cheered, and the fatigue of sleepless days and nights was swept away. They retracted the cables.

Slowly lifting the alloy layer, the waterline of the ship could not help but drop a lot.

"Keep this distance!" the old captain shouted, "just drag it back like this, don't pull it up again! It's very heavy and the ship will capsize!"

The combined fleet immediately stopped.

"Return!"

The warships broke through the wind and waves, and large ships followed one after another. They slowed down and dragged the alloy layer along, gradually leaving the outer sea area. Perhaps the hard work of the past few days finally paid off, and everyone's nerves relaxed a lot.

While they were relaxed, they didn't realize that there was a huge black shadow meandering underwater, circling the fleet. The radar was normal, the sonar was normal, and all the data they wore showed normal, but the black shadow was actually moving around.

He even opened his mouth and took a tentative bite of the alloy layer.

"Gah——" The alloy layer sank, and the cable screamed as it was about to break.

The strange sound immediately aroused the vigilance of the sailors. They instinctively raised their guns and aimed at the sound transmission point, but all they could see were cables and alloy layers. The sea wind was strong, the waves were rough, and the bright light during the day obscured the anomalies under the water.

.

The alloy layer didn't taste good, and the shadow relaxed his mouth.

"Is it my imagination? I feel like the thing I was dragging... seemed to have bounced just now?"

"Is it an illusion?" But the person who replied was vigilant enough, "No, regardless of whether it is an illusion or not, let me first inform everyone that we have not completely left the open sea, just in case..."

Before they could finish speaking, they heard a muffled "boom" sound coming from the bottom of the boat! It was like a sound like hitting a rock, and the boat actually tilted at a fifty-degree angle, forcing seven or eight crew members to be caught off guard and fall into the water.

Under the water, there was a huge black shadow coming up. Before it could reach it, the waves surged first.

When the sea surface arced, when the silhouette became clearer, and when the onlookers reacted and understood that this was an enemy attack, a bloody mouth with intertwined fangs suddenly jumped out of the sea, ready to catch the bait!

"Ah ah ah -" is the desperate scream of a living person.

Suddenly, a pale golden chain shot out, as agile as a living snake, and shuttled very quickly between the waist and abdomen of the drowning person, catching the monster's upper and lower jaws before they closed, and violently lifted a group of people away.

The eyes of the onlookers instinctively followed the person who was thrown away. They saw a man in a black trench coat descending from the sky. As soon as he crossed shoulders with the rescued person, he immediately shook his hands to close the chain, turned into a spear and struck fiercely.

Plunge downward into the ground.

At this moment, the monster's fangs twisted together to form a natural barrier. The defense was so strong that even ammunition could not break it.

But the golden spear was not a good thing. It hit the monster's teeth sonorously and forcefully, and stabbed into its throat unabated. Along with a shrill scream, black blood spurted out.

The man was particularly deficient. When he landed lightly on the edge of the boat and stood still, he looked indifferently at the black shadow rolling under the water, raised his hand and clenched it - his fingers spread out instantly.

"Hey!" The spears that penetrated the monster's body turned into countless bullets. They tore the monster's skin and flesh, directly beating it into a sieve.

The sea water was dyed ink, and the sailors who were thrown away fell into a pair of big blue hands without falling to the ground.

This happened too fast, the operation was too dazzling, and it ended too hastily. The onlookers only had time to widen their eyes, open their mouths, and let out a curse before they saw the big blue hands putting the crew back on the deck and falling again out of thin air.

a man.

"Pass?"

"Passed." Si Nuocheng suddenly turned his head and said to the joint fleet, "Speed ​​up and leave here. Don't wait any longer."

"Hey, yes!" Everyone was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, they saw the two men leaping up lightly, like two eagles with open wings, flying 180 meters out of the water with their toes touching the water. After a few ups and downs, they quickly disappeared.

"This, this..." Someone held the side of the ship tightly, "The Awakened One!"

"It's the Awakened One!"

The belated shouts and enthusiastic cheers intertwined, reflecting the joy of rebirth after a disaster and the excitement of meeting a legend. After a while, a Central Continent crew member loudly said: "I, I remember! They are numbered in single digits.

The Awakened One is one of the geniuses who awakened before the High Priest’s classes began!”

"You gave us answers after class before, do you still remember?" He clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes shining, "It's Si Nuocheng and Qi Xinli, it's the two of them!"

The conversation on the boat suddenly became unstoppable.

"I remember those two, too," another person replied, "Everyone else showed their faces, but these two didn't. One showed a slideshow and didn't say a word; the other recited Amitabha and asked people to recommend hair growth water. They were simply more open than that one.

The awakened person who just says 'Hello everyone, I am garbage, no, I am not garbage' is even more bizarre!"

Everyone:......

Speaking of which, the personalities of those awakened ones numbered in single digits are indeed difficult to describe.

For example, the awakened person surnamed Jiang burst into tears the second he got the awakened person number plate: "I applied so early, why is it not 1, but 2? When I think about it, I will be called 'second child' to my face in the future.

', Am I supposed to be good or not?"

Another example is the awakened person named Yu: "Stop howling, I shouldn't have listened to you and applied first, but got a 3. Being called the second child is better than being called a 'little 3'!"
