My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 982 - 796: Saving the World Through Gaming

Chapter 982: Chapter 796: Saving the World Through Gaming

Water Star technology has developed to a very high level, and long ago ventured beyond the planet, never stopping the development of war weapons.

Initially,

when the massive fissure named the ’Abyss’ appeared, though it shocked many, no one associated it with the danger of extinction.

Those monsters, although extremely fast, terrifyingly powerful, and possessing resilient vitality, would cause irreversible disasters if they storm into cities.

Yet, after all, they were only creatures and only appeared on sparsely populated resource stars. Once the higher-ups of Water Star reacted, they mobilized numerous war weapons, pouring endless firepower to blast those hideous and variously shaped monsters to smithereens.

The monsters gushing out from the Abyss were once sent to research tables, considered a milestone in Water Star’s discovery of alien life.

But as time passed,

the resource star where the Abyss appeared was quickly becoming unsustainable.

The number of ’Abysses’ increased, and the monsters grew more terrifying, with even Catastrophe Level monsters over tens of meters high, able to withstand missiles and energy weapons, and requiring a significant effort to clear.

What slightly reassured the higher-ups of Water Star was that, although the monsters could survive in a vacuum environment, they couldn’t escape the planet. In the worst-case scenario, they would just abandon that resource star, still within the bearing range of the higher-ups of Water Star.

Until...

another planet closest to that resource star also saw the appearance of the ’Abyss’, and within roughly a month’s time, the ’Abyss’ would ’spread’ to another planet.

Moreover, with a fixed direction, it was moving toward the Water Star people’s mother planet!

This time,

the higher-ups of Water Star couldn’t sit still. They were very aware of the destructiveness of those monsters; the resource star was relatively easy to defend due to fewer mining points. If it were replaced with Water Star, which has a population of 20 billion...

Yet they were powerless to stop it, the ’Abyss’ couldn’t be destroyed or blocked!

Moreover, as the number of Catastrophe Level monsters increased, even the resource star was becoming hard to defend.

The higher-ups of Water Star had prepared for the worst, while the vast war machine of the Planet Alliance quickly moved into operation, manufacturing arks to preserve human Fire Seed.

The Qiming Spaceship was the vanguard, and during space exploration, it accidentally discovered a unique planet.

Observations showed that the planet was three parts land and seven parts ocean, possibly a habitable planet.

"This planet is very far from our Water Star; maybe it can stop the Abyss from spreading."

"No matter what, we must first explore the environment of that planet to prepare in advance for migration or whatever else."

The elites on the bridge tucked away their pessimism.

Suddenly,

the spaceship’s alarm blared.

A detection officer exclaimed, "Ahead... ahead is a high-energy reaction!"

Before he could speak, others saw through the screen, outside of their galaxy, a dazzling light blossomed, seemingly tearing through the darkness of the universe.

Nearby,

one star after another exploded with a roar.

Besides the white light and the energy detectors continuously alarming, they detected nothing else, yet found countless stars bursting, a terrifying force emerging.

"It’s, it’s a space anomaly!"

In the hundreds of years of Water Star’s exploration of the starry sky, very few unexplained phenomena were discovered, which they called space anomalies.

There had been warships where suddenly a section of the hull disappeared during space navigation.

There was also the detection of some mirage as large as a planet, speculated by experts to be a certain spectacular phenomenon caused by light.

But the space anomaly before them was more dangerous.

The energy detectors had long reached their detection limit, and if the Qiming, a medium-sized spaceship, collided, nothing would remain.

"Quick, turn around!"

"What about that Life Planet? Won’t it be destroyed?"

"No time for that, retreat! Retreat!"

That invisible force gradually spread, and countless stars vanished.

The blue tail flames of the Qiming spewed, propelling the entire spaceship to flee to the distance.

At that moment,

outside the Solar System,

Tang Yu’s illusory figure gradually became solid.

Just then, he entered into the Qiming Spaceship, his spiritual power spreading to capture the dialogue within the bridge.

"Unexpectedly, the tendrils of the Devil Race spread here."

He knew that the closest to Earth was a technological civilization, but knew little more, nor did he intend to engage with that civilization.

Though Earth’s location had been discovered—since he could shift Earth, he couldn’t hide it. Even arranging an Illusion Technique Array required it to be as large as a Solar System.

But even the Devil Race couldn’t enter the Solar System, and the spaceships from Water Star couldn’t possibly, only hitting a wall.

Casually destroying some spaceships would make them retreat in the face of difficulty.

But...

"Since encountering the Devil Race occupying the planet, I have to create some trouble for them."

Tang Yu had some immature ideas in his mind, but he decided to move Earth a bit further away first to avoid the coordinates being discovered.

——Who knows what method the Devil Race uses to search for Life Planets.

He shook his head and cast his gaze into the distance.

The surging Sword Qi was like white light, illuminating the entire expanse of space.

His sight pierced through the white light to see a figure standing straight there, as if they were the center of the starry sky.

Kong was venting.

A series of sword lights slashed out, directly tearing apart space, slicing countless celestial bodies into pieces.

The process of everyone Breaking Realm into the Holy Tier is different.

Some strong individuals might have an epiphany and become a Saint on the spot.

Some strong individuals refine an entire world, using the world’s status to ascend.

Some strong individuals find a way to survive in a desperate situation.

Eileen’s breakthrough came naturally, after a period of seclusion she broke through and became a Saint.

But Kong’s breakthrough was a bit more noticeable.

He needed to continuously inspire Sword Intent, driving the Law, forging a Holy Body with Sword Intent.

But there was also danger; for instance, if the Holy Body was not forged before Kong’s power was exhausted, the breakthrough would end in failure.

Kong was not far from the boundary of the Solar System.

Tang Yu extended the distance of his Territory, reached out with his finger, and an invisible, intangible, and imperceptible mysterious force descended.

Kong, in the midst of his breakthrough, was shocked and entered a mysterious and profound state, casually waving his hand, with Sword Qi inducing the Law.

This continuous outpouring of Sword Qi lasted three days and three nights.

From a distance, the Qiming Spaceship observed for a while longer, confirming that the space anomaly would not disappear in the short term, then accelerated and entered space warp back to the Water Star.

...

Jia Shi was a gaming content creator and a professional gamer, having left his remarkable mark in several dominating games on the Water Star.

He was humorously dubbed ’Boss Jia’ by numerous netizens.

Although he had abundant wealth and could spend millions just to buy a piece of equipment, those were not the reasons he became a top gamer.

The real reason was just one: he had great skills.

In the mature virtual reality gaming scene on the Water Star, being a pro player equaled 99% wealth plus 1% skill, but it was that 1% skill that determined if a player could become a pro.

"Alas..."

Jia Shi sat up from the gaming pod, "This game is being played by fewer and fewer people."

He had formed a casual guild in a popular game, though it was casual, Boss Jia’s financial prowess made the guild have second-tier strength with many members.

But in recent months, various strange policies have emerged one after another.

Such as the time-limited game order, and the spending limit order.

More and more guild members have been quitting gaming.

"Not just games, nearly all entertainment industries have entered a harsh winter."

Jia Shi opened the browser, and everywhere were messages proclaiming the glory of military recruitment.

Many manufacturing sectors were urgently recruiting technical workers with greatly increased benefits—in the matured artificial intelligence scene on the Water Star, pure technical workers had become very scarce.

On the contrary, while the entertainment industry was limited, many films with the theme ’Human Unity Against Aliens’ were released, but the plots were dull and largely similar.

Ordinary people felt a storm was coming.

As someone with backing, Jia Shi knew more clearly that the crisis humans were facing was much more severe than imagined, and the ’tickets’ were ready!

In such a situation, maintaining a facade of stability was already challenging.

How many people had leisure time to play games?

Even the so-called hottest ’Fire Blue Kingdom’ was getting much quieter.

As a person living a dull and monotonous life every day, Jia Shi naturally couldn’t do without games, but there were no games to play!

Bored, while browsing the web, Jia Shi’s expression suddenly froze.

"A fully immersive game ’Main God’? Is there actually a new game being released at this time?"

"No, it’s probably a game that was almost finished before the gaming winter began... what an unlucky kid."

"Moreover, the promotional slogan is something like ’Do you want to save the world?’ -- such an outdated line from hundreds of years ago, looks like even the game company has given up hope."

Although he didn’t have high hopes for this game, Jia Shi was so bored that he still downloaded ’Main God’ into his gaming pod.

After hastily watching two ’Against Aliens’ themed movies, Jia Shi slowly lay down into the gaming pod.

He opened Main God.

His mind instantly immersed.

Jia Shi’s mouth opened wide.
