The first episode of The Origin of the World prologue

Next Chapter

"Let go of your hatred and prejudice, Han Fei. Feelings are just a useless drag, and your world is just your cage. Only being strong is the only guarantee for survival. Join me and let me help you unlock the chains, and together we touch the Gate of the Gods, which leads to endless sublimation. ”

A cold and clear voice sounded in Han Fei's heart.

"No, Starnett, when desire is no longer shackled, there is no way forward. You see feelings as a drag, but do you really know what feelings are? Whether it's love, hate, protection, or responsibility, it's what makes me stronger. If there are no feelings, then what is the point of our existence? ”

Han Fei replied lightly that similar arguments had happened many times, and naturally no one could convince anyone.

There was a rare fluctuation in the voice: "What do you think you can change?" No, you can't do anything. You see me as a strong enemy, you think I'm an aggressor, just because you haven't seen the vast world, you and I are just ants, but I'm a little stronger than you. Han Fei, ignorance is not an obstacle to survival, weakness is. ”

Then he returned to his calm, and said indifferently:

"Lose humanity, lose a lot. Lose your bestiality, lose everything. ”

"But there is always something more important than being alive." Han Fei replied firmly.

"The enemies of Gap 2 and 3 have already taken the initiative to seal the Gap and give up the fight for this world. The Mechanical Zerg of Gap 4 has an average level of technology, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated. There is not much time left for you, and in 72 hours, my army will attack. ”

"When the time comes, I'll give you a decent ending, take care!"

Han Fei sat in the conference room of the city's ruling hall, and his mind couldn't help but think of the conversation with that "person" not long ago.

I don't know how long I haven't taken care of my messy short hair, and my face is solemn, full of scum, and I look sloppy. However, there was a strong coercion on his body, and the others at the conference table looked at him with adoring eyes, expecting him to lead mankind to perform miracles again.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, his eyes were rarely sour, and he didn't know what to say.

......

Spring was supposed to be the season of revival.

But in this small world fragment numbered E-13, the only continent at this time is almost dead. Volcanoes erupted one after another, and earthquakes followed. As the fragments of the Heart of the World continue to be removed, the underlying rules of this world are full of holes, and they may collapse at any time, returning this small world to chaos.

As far as the eye can see, the land is next to deserts, the mountains are mostly flattened, and the rivers are dried up and cut off.

......

In the southwest of the continent, a 10-million-level insect swarm army is attacking the last city of mankind, Cha'an City. It's a war with no chance of winning, the swarms are endless, and Cha'an is already a lonely city.

A few years ago, when humanity was still fantasizing about the imminent reconquest of this continent, an invasion from another world woke humanity from its sweet dream. The warring parties are constantly fighting for control of this world, and the human beings, who were originally the masters, even the aftermath of the battle, are enough to wipe out human civilization.

As time progressed, more and more world fragments were cleared, and the gap in the world could no longer restrict the participation of several high-level combat forces, and the intensity of the war quickly increased dramatically, and the continent was already devastated.

Only eight years have passed, and humanity, which has lost energy, materials, and almost all advantages, is surviving on this continent that was once conquered by humans. The tens of thousands of surviving humans hid in Cha'an, waiting in fear for the final day.

Han Fei stood on the high platform, looking at the hundreds of capable people below, as well as more ordinary fighters behind. I want to give an uplifting speech as usual, but I can't say anything when I open my mouth slightly.

There was silence for a long time, and I don't know who shouted in the ground: "Human beings live forever!" The surrounding people were also slowly driven, and after a while, the shouts changed from sparse to uniform, resounding through the sky:

"Humanity lives on!"

Before the end comes, some people will release the desires in their hearts, burn, kill and loot, and the result will be death anyway. But there are also people who, even if they are afraid of death, can accept it calmly when they have to face it.

The beast herd obscured the sky, as if a black cloud was pressing down on the city, and the visible range was full of insect swarms.

The war has begun!

The remaining thermal weapons such as artillery and machine guns no longer conserved ammunition, and desperately poured firepower, killing a large number of insect swarms, but more insect swarms poured in.

Looking at this scene, Han Fei understood that this was deliberately done by Starnett, so that the only remaining human warriors were sacrificed in battle, otherwise a large number of low-level insect swarms would not have been sent as cannon fodder at all.

Human casualties began to mount.

Surrounded by a swarm of insects and covered in blood, a spell-like powerhouse suddenly let out a heroic laugh before detonating all of his own energy.

Rumble!

With a brilliant flash of fire, thousands of swarms were reduced to ashes, but for the swarms, the casualties were not even battle damage.

Han Fei stood out of thin air, and his abilities such as flames, ice, electricity, and force fields were unleashed at will, and the swarms within a kilometer around him were hit one after another. A fighting domain capable person faced dozens of elite zergs and brazenly launched his own ability, and in an instant, more than a dozen zergs seemed to be attacked by invisible blades, turning into pieces of minced meat. Such a human ability was gasping for breath, a vague figure flew from behind him, and he didn't know anything, he was about to be hit, and was suddenly blocked by an invisible force field, the figure crashed into the force field shield at high speed, and suddenly appeared in shape, and was killed by the human ability person with a backhand knife. At the same time, another capable person not far away couldn't dodge and was killed on the spot.

Han Fei cleaned up the beasts while rescuing the human soldiers. But he can't save everyone after all, and there are human soldiers dying almost every minute,

The war lasted only ten minutes, and the human capable were killed and wounded. The surviving humans involuntarily gathered around Han Fei, and the swarm of insects in the sky actually stopped attacking and just quietly surrounded the humans.

A figure walked out of the swarm of insects in the sky, and the nearby swarm of insects gave way to a passage.

A snake's hair draped over its back, writhing from time to time. Her whole body is covered with bone armor, and if you ignore the huge bone wings behind her, she looks like a human woman, and her facial features have both the softness of a human and the wildness of a beast, and she is beautiful and moving, like the Medusa recorded in ancient mythology.

"Han Fei, I'll give you another chance. Are you going to follow me? The man asked.

Han Fei smiled indifferently and looked around, the human soldiers around him were all looking at him nervously or expectantly, waiting for him to make his own answer. Then he replied:

"You already know my answer, Starnett. It feels like a thousand people waiting for every word you say. How could I live up to their expectations. ”

"It's an honor to be with you!"

"Until death!" The surviving soldiers responded loudly and neatly, and then one by one they turned resolutely and charged like a swarm of worms.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Starnett turned and walked away cleanly.

"Kill them all!"

One by one, the figures rushed towards the swarm without fear of death, and the battle began again, but this time the outcome would not be different.

The brilliant light of the self-detonation of the capable people came from all over the swarm, and the ordinary soldiers used up all their ammunition and detonated the energy core in the herd. Even if they knew that all this was meaningless, they just wanted to be a warrior and die in this world that originally belonged to humans.

Han Fei's heart did not fluctuate, he was used to such a scene. Starnett is right, in this world fragment, weakness is the original sin of survival.

In the face of the siege of the elite beast group, Han Fei did not dodge or dodge, and resisted all attacks with a strong field shield. In just five minutes, there was no living human being in the line of sight, except for Han Fei.

Then Han Fei removed the shield and gave up resistance. He didn't know when he lit a crumpled cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out for a long time, with a relieved expression on his face.

He was tired.

I can't help but think of that border town, that cat, and that shadow. Then plunged into endless darkness.

......

Is this the world after death?

It's glaring. What is that light?

Wait, did I cross over? Could this be the legendary main god space?

"The 405 program has been launched. Hello Han Fei, I'm Cha'an. An ethereal voice came from all directions, and it seemed to sound directly in Han Fei's heart.

"Cha'an? Haven't you been destroyed a long time ago? ”

Han Fei looked around for the source of the sound, and then he was surprised to find that he had no body, only consciousness alone in this unknown space.

"Strictly speaking, it was Cha'an's hardware carrier that was destroyed."

"And what are you attached to now?"

"Fragments of the Heart of the World. In fact, the core of the four first-class cities is a special piece of the world. ”

"Am I not dead? And what is the 405 plan? ”

"You are dead, you need no doubt about that. Now you are just an independent memory that I have preserved. The 405 plan is to transfer a piece of data to the current point in time in a way that you can't understand. You, as the strongest human within the boundaries of Cha'an City, have been chosen as the carrier of the plan. ”

"How long ago? If we had found the enemy's traces earlier, we wouldn't have lost so badly! Han Fei asked excitedly.

"Unknown. It could be an hour or when you were born. And to avoid observers, the data is compressed, and most of the information is lost in the process. ”

"That's great, at least to give humanity another chance. What do I need to do? ”

"What you need to do is, with what you know about yourself, disguise this data in a form that you can quickly accept."

"What do I want most?" Han Fei pondered for a while, and suddenly said:

"System. disguised as a system. When I was a kid, I wanted a system more than anything else. ”

“...... Good. ”

"Can I send some information to my past self?"

"I've got all the necessary information in place."

"No, I just want to tell my past self that there are some things that can't be missed."

After a long silence, Chaan replied:

"You say it, but I don't guarantee that it will be conveyed completely!"
