Three days later!
Chu Fu and the others had finally cleared out every monster on the planet that posed a threat to humanity.
Some of the monsters were instead kept under control and raised in captivity. In the future, they might end up on the human dining table—or become fodder for players looking to level up.
Only then did Chu Fu finally have time to log into the game.
The game had also undergone a version update.
It had entered Version 10.1.
[System Announcement: The game has now been fully synchronized with reality. Within the game, players can simulate combat and creation. The energy sustaining the game is the power injected by the Ten Evil Gods of the Invasion when they invaded the Primordial Gate.
Estimated server shutdown: 87 years!
After reaching the Primordial level, players may extend the server’s operating time by hunting gods, thereby prolonging the life of the Primordial Gate for future players.]
[System Notification: Esteemed Primordial Human Who Wants to Be a Vegetable, you have reached Level 100. Would you like to proceed to the Primordial Gate and claim your reward?]
Chu Fu was still reading the notification when Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao shouted beside her.
“Whoa! The system says I’ve reached Level 100 and wants me to go to the Primordial Gate to claim my reward. I remember them saying it would be ten billion in cash!”
“Look at what’s happened to prices now. The reward definitely won’t be cash!” Xie Lin said.
“Let’s go to the Primordial Gate and see!” Chu Feng said, beckoning to Chu Fu.
Chu Fu nodded and clicked confirm.
She wasn’t the only one.
Every Level 100 player could go there.
Long Zhantian’s “God-Slaying Plan” still had one hundred thousand people in it. Fifty thousand of them had reached Level 70, and by now, all fifty thousand had reached Level 100 and were eligible to enter the Primordial Gate.
The moment they made their choice, a door appeared before every one of them.
The players exchanged glances before stepping through.
Soon, they discovered that they were actually floating in outer space.
Beneath their feet was a golden, translucent platform made of energy. Through it, they could see a blue life-bearing planet.
The surroundings were pitch-black, yet countless nebulae flowed through the darkness.
Within each nebula, there seemed to be a door.
This was a higher-dimensional plane.
When Chu Fu had searched for the Divine Envoy, she had also appeared in a place resembling this.
The difference was that this seemed to be a public area—a gathering place for Level 100 players.
It could be considered an independent region of its own.
At that moment, everyone had appeared there.
A golden screen of light materialized before them.
To everyone’s surprise, images began playing across it.
The players watched with delighted expressions.
“Is this the post-clearance results screen?”
“Is it a CG trailer? It looks so realistic!”
“Could it be that this is actually a real world?”
The next moment, text appeared beside the images as well.
[Year XX72: The human population reaches ten billion.]
[The Evil Gods sense the vitality of humanity’s prosperity.]
The Ten Evil Gods began attacking the planet.
However, the Primordial System automatically blocked all the invaders.
[Primordial System—Transcendent Mythic-Level System: The Primordial Humans continuously explore the infinite universe, scattering the seeds of humanity across every life-bearing planet.
After approximately five thousand years, a seed is expected to develop into a low-level civilization. Once its population reaches ten billion, the system will automatically activate and launch a counterattack if Evil Gods or Beast Gods invade.
To nurture more Primordial Humans, the system will randomly select one person and cultivate them as the Child of Destiny.
The person chosen may not necessarily know that they are the Child of Destiny.]
[Target selected for the first game: Long Zhantian!]
Everyone let out a collective “Whoa!”
After all, half of the Level 100 players present were affiliated with China’s official forces, and they held a great deal of respect for their leader.
“Wait, that doesn’t make sense. Guild Leader Long is certainly powerful, but Chairwoman Chu is obviously stronger now. And why is the screen showing Guild Leader Long the entire time? A lot of the events being shown never happened!”
“You idiot. Look at the title above it. It says ‘the first game’!”
“What? You mean a world-destroying game like this can have multiple rounds?”
“I don’t know either. Let’s keep watching!”
Everyone discussed it heatedly, but no one reached a conclusion.
All they saw was Long Zhantian leading Dragon Conquers the Nine Provinces through seven grueling years of survival.
In the end, Dragon Conquers the Nine Provinces was the only team left in the world—and it was ultimately wiped out by the insectoid race.
Everyone sighed, then began discussing the matter even more intensely.
“Guild Leader Long wasn’t strong enough. He didn’t have enough attribute points, and he only reached Level 60. All his equipment was dark gold, with barely any diamond-grade gear. How could he possibly win like that?”
“Exactly. He’s nowhere near as strong as he is now!”
“Still, it’s impressive that a base like that managed to hold out so long.”
[First Round: Humanity Defeated!]
Those words appeared across the giant screen.
Clearly, humanity had been slaughtered by the Evil Gods.
However, with the Primordial System in place, the Evil Gods were fundamentally unable to descend upon this world.
The Primordial System also initiated a rollback.
[The second game begins. Selected Children of Destiny: Chu Feng and Chu Fu.]
“Huh?” Chu Fu froze.
Why was she involved again? Could it be that she had misunderstood everything—that she had never truly been reborn, and that all her confused memories had been caused by the system?
Before she could voice her doubts, another image appeared on the giant screen.
In the higher-dimensional plane, the ten Evil Gods appeared once more.
They had actually been watching this new planet all along, their eyes filled with greed.
“A new round has begun. When the Primordial System rolled back the world, it must have left behind a regressor,” the Wolf God said.
The God of the Starry Sky nodded. “Don’t worry. During the previous invasion, I left behind a portion of my divine power. Once we locate the person, I can banish them, sending their soul to another plane. The Primordial System won’t detect it!”
The next moment, the soul of a little girl lying in a hospital bed was expelled from the current plane.
Only then did everyone realize who she was.
“Ah! It’s the Plant Boss!”
“What? The boss was banished?”
“These Evil Gods are absolutely despicable! Fortunately, the boss has punished them by now!”
The image changed again, revealing Chu Feng’s face.
ID: Lu Xing!
At that moment, the players all turned to look at the cloaked man.
Lu Xing.
Chu Feng.
Chu Fu’s older brother.
Chu Feng removed his mask and stared intently at the screen.
He had no memory of any of this.
He only remembered his first life. So, without him ever knowing it, he had actually already been reborn once!
In the footage, he fulfilled the regret of his previous life, saving his younger sister right from the beginning.
However, his sister remained asleep while he continued fighting.
He had never wondered why she had not awakened—not even after the game synchronized with reality.
At that moment, Chu Fu also came to understand.
“So I’m not an alternate-world Chu Fu at all. I’m the Chu Fu who was banished by the God of the Starry Sky!”
“The Plant Boss, Chu Fu, didn’t delete her account because of pressure from the Universal Studio.”
“I got everything wrong before.”
“I never appeared in the second game!”
“I am me!”
