Chapter 1 Millions of Possibilities

"boom!"

The game character controlled by Cheng Lin finally succeeded in setting the red sports car on fire after using up both magazines.

The vehicle ignited dazzling flames, and the explosion caused the fire hydrant on the roadside to burst. White water jets sprayed out more than ten meters high, scaring the citizens into panic and running away.

At the same time, a prompt to clear the game also popped up on the computer screen, and the scarlet English letters seemed to be bleeding.

"It's boring."

Cheng Lin muttered, but the expression on his face did not show any joy at completing the level.

The graphics of this widely praised new game are indeed exquisite enough, but unfortunately the gameplay is still the same and the difficulty is average.

He stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his face in his pajamas. His young face appeared in the mirror.

My eyes were bloodshot, after all, I stayed up all night to clear the level.

Why do boring games last all night?

Of course it's because it's more boring not to play.

Cheng Lin: He is now 19 years old. His parents divorced early and he lives with his mother. His mother died unexpectedly a few years ago, and he began to live alone.

Although according to the laws of the Xia Kingdom, parents no longer have the obligation to support their children after they reach adulthood, but perhaps to make up for something, Cheng Lin's father, who is abroad and works as an executive in a large company, still gives him a considerable amount of money on time every month.

Living expenses, this prevents him from worrying about livelihood at this age.

Due to the disagreement between his parents, Cheng Lin has been introverted since he was a child, and at best, he is independent.

My biggest hobbies are entertainment such as novels, games, and movies.

My grades are mediocre and I got a very average second grade. I am currently on vacation after the college entrance examination. I have no goals for the future and lack of love for life. My only wish is to spend my whole life eating and waiting to die.

It’s not that he is completely unmotivated.

For example, when the spiritual energy recovery started half a year ago, Cheng Lin was very excited for a while.

I remember that at that time, some mysterious videos gradually appeared on the Internet, and then were quickly deleted. The strange thing was that they were not deleted as quickly as they were posted, so that the whole world fell into a strange state of nervousness, fear, and excitement.

Soon, as the information was gradually revealed, the government finally relaxed its grip.

Then people knew that the spiritual energy was revived.

At first, a very small number of people suddenly became different and were absorbed into the mysterious departments of the government.

Perhaps it is because of the infiltration of some novels, film and television works on the theme of spiritual energy recovery in recent years that when all this happened, people...especially young people accepted it easily.

The whole society seemed to be alive all of a sudden.

However, as the initial enthusiasm passed, people gradually discovered that their lives did not seem to have changed much.

That magical new world still seems far away from ordinary people.

The only thing that is relatively close is that I often hear that awakened cultivators are causing chaos again somewhere, but it still feels far away.

Then there is nothing.

Everything seemed ordinary and logical.

Only a very few people understand that the world has really changed, and that while ordinary people are still ignorant, it has taken a new and unpredictable path.

Of course, those have nothing to do with Cheng Lin.

Because he discovered to his dismay that he was not one of the awakened ones.

The door to the mysterious world opened a crack, but he was shut out.



"Huh?"

After washing his face and coming back, Cheng Lin was just about to order a takeaway when he suddenly noticed something unusual on the computer screen.

The page after clearing the game disappeared, and for some reason it automatically returned to the computer desktop state.

"Crashed back?"

Cheng Lin didn't think much about it, but then he accidentally discovered that an icon he didn't recognize suddenly appeared on the computer screen.

It is a dark blue icon, two or three times larger than the other icons, and it trembles.

"Virus?"

Cheng Lin was curious and reached out decisively to open it.

"brush."

An extremely exquisite background appeared on the screen, which was a dynamic starry sky background animation. In the animation, stars were densely distributed. The dark universe seemed like a long silent river, in which billions of stars moved according to their own rules.

Suddenly, lines of fine text appeared on the screen.

"The earth was born about 4.5 billion years ago, the oceans began to form 4.2 billion years ago, and life appeared in the oceans 3.5 billion years ago. If the long history of the earth is condensed into one hour, then animals did not appear until the last 15 minutes.

Terrestrial animals did not appear until the last 6 minutes. When this hour was almost over, the age of reptiles only lasted a mere 2 minutes... let alone humans."

"However, in this short period of human rule, a brilliant civilization was born on this planet at an eye-popping speed. The formation of civilization was short and lucky, full of countless coincidences, and there are countless dangers in the universe.

Destroy it instantly."

"And the direction of civilization is even more foggy. No life in the universe can predict the final direction of civilization. Destruction and vitality are hidden deep in the unknown. It is like a tortuous path. No one knows the end, and no one knows every step.

What does a turning point and a change mean?"

"...It can be said that at every moment, there are a million possibilities for the direction of civilization."

The text ends abruptly here, and there is only one option to "continue".

"Is it a new game? But I don't remember downloading it."

Cheng Lin frowned, hesitated for a moment, and clicked "Continue".

Then the picture turned and the screen was filled with white light. When the light dissipated, only one button remained.

It's a red button.

There is a line of small words at the bottom, very small and delicate, which is a repetition of the previous one:

[At every moment, there are a million possibilities for the direction of civilization]

Cheng Lin couldn't help but muttered "inexplicable".

In his opinion, this must be a game. It may have been secretly downloaded by some rogue software on the computer. The whole thing is quite mysterious, but it is just a game after all.

With the idea of ​​not recharging money if it wasn't fun, Cheng Lin clicked the button.

The next moment, suddenly, he felt that the light in the entire room suddenly became extremely intense, and the floor under his feet seemed to start to shake. He let out a groan and couldn't help but cover his eyes.

Soon the bright light disappeared and Cheng Lin opened his eyes again, but was shocked to find a piece of information appeared in his mind.

It's not a sound, it's not a picture, it's not a text, it's just a message.

It exudes a mysterious flavor.

[Start to deduce the direction of civilization in this world...]

[Deduction in progress...]

[Get Chapter: Doomsday (Sky Fire)]

[The chapter will open in ten seconds... 10, 9, 8...]

Cheng Lin was completely confused and confused by this incredible scene.

What's going on?

After I pressed that button, these strange messages appeared in my mind out of thin air?

Deducing civilization?

end?

What does the "sky fire" in the brackets mean?

"What are you doing?"

Cheng Lin was stunned. He subconsciously looked around and saw that the computer screen had gone black and would not open no matter how hard he pressed it. Nothing else in the room had changed.

As for the outside...

Cheng Lin subconsciously looked out the window. At this time, the countdown in his mind also reached the end.

The next moment, the calm and sunny weather outside the window suddenly changed.

Visible to the naked eye, the sunlight outside the window is gradually getting brighter!

Cheng Lin hurriedly threw himself in front of the window and looked outside.

He lives on the fifth floor, facing the street, and there is a city street outside the window.

There are cars driving on the road, and some citizens are walking on the roadside, which looks very normal.

Just as the brightness of the sun increases, it seems that the outdoor temperature also begins to rise rapidly.

Cheng Lin saw with his own eyes that a plastic signboard of a store downstairs suddenly burned out of thin air!

Before he could wake up from this scene, he suddenly heard a piercing scream.

I saw a girl in a white skirt suddenly being ignited, her whole body turned into a ball of fire, she screamed like crazy and ran towards the shade of the tree!

And those originally green green trees were ignited at some point, and the leaves became charred black, and then turned into fly ash, emitting thick black smoke.

And there are many people like her!

Almost all the pedestrians suddenly burst into flames!

Many fireballs appeared on the street instantly!

Then those cars also exploded!

combustion!

combustion!!

The whole world outside the window seemed to be set on fire by the sun.

The city was in flames in an instant!

Cheng Lin was lying on the window in a daze.

My mind went blank.

The next moment, he suddenly realized:

"Sky Fire! Is this the Sky Fire?!"
