Our MC's original world, Blue planet (similar to Earth), went through an apocalypse period for ten years and has been pulled through this universe by mysterious force as one of the human race worlds. Unfortunately, the human race is one of the weakest and most feeble races of all Gondola races. However, their sheer number and several allies have helped them escape extinction so far. Regrettably, even though there are many ants, given a sufficient amount of time, the elephant will eventually be able to destroy them all. After 50 years of pointless struggle, almost all of the last remaining humans have been hunted down by some of the strongest undead races of the Gondola, the Skeletons, the Vampires, the Werewolves, and the Demons. The few remaining humans have been found and eradicated. Our MC, Chen Murong, a member of the last humanity group, can escape the hunt from undead races for fifty years. He finally dies under the claw of Lucifer, one of the emperor-rank demons from the undead race. However, he activates one of his time magic spells with his most precious space gemstone at the moment of his last breath. Through the spell, he wakes up alive, back in his home world, and returns to the year before the apocalypse period began.

Preparation plan and Chen Dawei

After Huilong left the room, I walked straight to my study desk, trying to find a pencil and a notebook.

I thought to myself. "I have to draft a plan…In order to have adequate preparation for the apocalypse, I need my family to be on board. But, how can I convince them? I could not just tell them the story without proof, couldn't I? Ummm…They probably won't believe me. They will just think that I am joking or, worse, have a mental breakdown. I would not want to spend time in the psychological ward."

"So, I need to find some proof," I murmured to myself while I was sitting on my favorite round swivel chair. I rested my chin on my hands and thought.

"The most irrefutable proof would be to show them the ability in the apocalypse period. However, the apocalypse period has not yet begun. How could I get the ability? If there is a dungeon, it is only a matter of clearing it. God's spirit, the entity that was later found to be responsible for the apocalypse, gave people a chance to expedite their spiritual evolution by passing through the dungeon and not selecting any other rewards."

It had also been found out later that the job's quality depended on the innate spiritual capacity. The more spiritual energy accumulated in your body by the time of changing the job, the better job and skill you would get. Those who were lucky enough to step into the dungeon on the first day of the apocalypse and successfully awaken their spiritual senses were all having legendary jobs.

"However, now, it is one year earlier. Where could I find such a dungeon?"

Thought of that. I finally raised my eyebrows and recalled that, in my past life, the scientists had made a hypothesis that all the first-rate dungeons should have been formed before the Apocalypse day due to the required large amount of spiritual energy accumulation.

"So, I need to find those dungeons and obtain some artifacts or spiritual abilities. Then, I can convince my family," I secretly thought and reached my right hand to grab the Blue planet world map on my big floor-to-ceiling bookshelf on the side of my desk.

I looked at the world map and focused on the main continent, called the "Pangea continent." In Blue planet, 70% of the area was the ocean. There were two main continents, the smaller one, the Parvus continent, and the considerably bigger one, the Pangea continent. There were five countries in the Pangea continent and, my country, the Xia kingdom, was located on the east side of the continent.

Studying at the Xia kingdom terrain, there were six first-rate dungeons discovered in the Xia kingdom if he recalled correctly. These six dungeons were the most difficult ones to clear because the inside monsters were very ferocious and strong due to plenty of spiritual energy in the dungeon.

From the map, the closest and easiest one to find is probably the one in Mount Taiyuan. The dungeon was just located at the top of the peak of the mountain. I was marking dungeons with red circles around the map when butler Gui informed me the dinner was ready.

A few minutes later, I was walking downstairs to the dining room with Huilong. When we arrived there, it seemed other family members were already there waiting.

At dinner, except Huilong and me, there were four other people sitting around the elegant round dining table, our big brother - Chen Dawei, our sister – Chen Yilin, our grandmother – Chen Yawen, and our grandfather - Chen Jinnan. In contrast to Huilong's cheerful personality, Chen Dawei was very strict. He joined the Xia kingdom imperial military since he had graduated from university. He had an athletic-looking body but moderate muscle mass. His skin was considered white tone in our Xia kingdom's lineage. You can say he was a kind of handsome bad boy type. There were a lot of women pursuing him, but he had no interest in any of them.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, Chen Dawei stayed in General Yang Fei's military camp. It took him about two weeks to be able to come back to our manor. Chen Dawei was very capable. He applied his military skills with his newly obtained psychic skills. He became one of the top ten fighters in the Xia kingdom.

I nodded at him and saw that he bounced back at me. He usually didn't talk much nor express his emotion. However, I know that, behind this smug, indifferent, and insensitive face, he was actually very caring for his siblings on the inside.

When he came back to help me, grandma, and grandpa after the apocalypse day, he protected and trained everyone in Chen's family. He worked and dedicated himself to our family all day long, seven days a week, to ensure our family would have a good life in the future.

In fact, with his talent, if he stayed in the military, he would be promoted. Instead, he sacrificed his chance in the promotion to commander level in the army to his rival for the sake of staying with us.

Later, he also traded his rare psychic spiritual stones to space spiritual stones for me to upgrade my skill. As a space and time mage in the previous life, I was very weak at the beginning. It was a great gift to me.

Though, the most valuable gift that he gave me is when our family had fallen into Ye family's plot. Ye family patriarch had schemed and accused our family of treason. Due to the betrayal of our own people, the amount of evidence had piled up against us. The king was furious. Despite the slight doubt and objection from the first prince, the House of Lords had no choice but to proceed with the extermination of our family.

The order of execution of our family came in the middle of the night. Our house was surrounded. Only me and Chen Dawei were able to break out and escaped from the capital. However, we were able to avoid the trackers for only a short time.

I am still able to recall my last memory with him…

-------------------------------------------------------------

*** Murong's past life point of view. ***

We escaped to Indiana Forest in the north of the capital. However, after two days and two nights, we have been encircled by enemies. Chen Dawei was still in terrible shape, so we had retreated to one of the stone caves. We, then, barricaded and disguised the entrance of the cave with several heavy stones.

However, we were able to forestall the enemies for half a day. They have found us and called for reinforcements. Chen Dawei was still not recovered much, and there was no other way out. There was only one chance, though, that was to use a rare teleportation scroll that our family had been safekeeping.

However, this teleportation scroll was special. The more people that it needed to cover, the slimmer chance you would succeed. With two people, there was only a 5% chance of succeeding.

"In a few moments, they are going to break through, and when they do, they will know the fear of the famous space mage. I've taken tens of warriors at once before," I exclaimed.

"And how many are out there?" asked Dawei.

"Oh, probably a hundred."

"Right…It settles then."

"What do mean it settles?" I flinched and asked.

"I can't get out, but you can."

"How? No.. No. Not a chance." I shook my head and stared back at him.

"I am your BIG brother, don't forget. I say you can go. I say you WILL go."

"Don't ask again. I am not leaving you."

"Oh, I won't ask Murong."

"Don't…"

Not waiting for me to complete the sentence, Dawei activated the scroll over me. I hastily raised my wand back toward him to cast my attraction spell, but he had quickly used his psychic ability to impede me. Even as he did so, the barricade had been broken. Two enemies were charging in.

I then turned my face to try to cast a spell on them, but it was also too late. The teleportation scroll had already been triggered, and there was a bright light hovered all around me. I, at last, tried to step out, but it was also unsuccessful.

After a short moment, the light around me finally vanished, and the scene was completely changed.

Furiously against my will, I accepted my big bro's last gift…

Personally, I really like this chapter when Murong has a flashback. What do you guys think about it? Also, thank you for accompanying me on this writing journey!”
