Star Sky Calendar 717.

Chuying Star, Fengye City's Yutai High School, class 1-2.

"In the year 1 of the Star Sky Calendar, humanity entered the interstellar era, and the first light-speed spaceship, 'Exploration,' discovered 'Thunder Cloud Star,' confirming the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life—the beginning of the third kind of contact..."

History teacher Lan Fei wore a black blazer on her upper body and long silky stockinged-legs on the lower half, her chest cavity sports a breathtaking arc, revealing expanses of snow-white smooth skin that made many boys unconsciously swallow.

Even Fang Xing, who had been slacking off and daydreaming, had to admit she was a stunner, hitting right at the sweet spot in the hearts of most teenagers.

For most teens experiencing the dawn of their emotions, a mature woman was clearly more popular than a loli.

Lan Fei's voice, round yet seemingly heavy, continued, "The era of great interstellar discoveries thus set sail, and in the same year, the Blue Star Federation was established, bringing humanity into its most glorious and brilliant era, until..."

Her eyes flickered as she called out, "Fang Xing, please tell everyone about the 'Great Catastrophe Day.'"

Fang Xing jerked to attention, standing up: "Yes, teacher."

He appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, of average build but slightly lean, dressed in the white shirt of a Yutai High School uniform, exuding a youthful vitality and freshness unique to young people, with a hint of doubt and unease in his eyes.

'I... have transmigrated...'

Fang Xing's heart churned like raging waves. He was originally just an ordinary office worker on Earth, exhausted by his heavy workload with his only pastime being reading novels. He never expected that one day, after falling asleep from reading too much, he would wake up in a classroom.

The stark reality of his environment and the additional set of memories in his mind left him feeling very conflicted.

However, he naturally had a strong heart; his previous composed expression was just him silently observing and digesting memories, but his teacher had noticed something was off.

'I thought the skill of daydreaming that I honed in university had reached its peak, yet I was caught by a teacher in the future... Blue Star Federation? Is this Earth's future? Did I transmigrate to another world? Or to the future?'

Fang Xing had these doubts, but soon after, the boy next to him nudged him, which made him gather his thoughts and start answering based on the knowledge from his memory:

"The Great Catastrophe Day originated in year 112 of the Star Sky Calendar. At that time, the Blue Star Federation had discovered hundreds of life planets, and interstellar exploration became the hottest activity. Every interstellar explorer became a widely known star, achieving fame and success. Humanity fully enjoyed the fruits of interstellar exploration, and technology burst onto the scene... Everything seemed like a golden age until November 1st, when interstellar explorer 'Kelin' discovered 'Quanrong Star.' The members of the Quanrong Clan there were war-loving and wildly insane, slaughtering the entire fleet, cracking the smart-brain's coordinates of Blue Star, and declaring war on the Blue Star Federation..."

"In the year 119, the Blue Star Federation's armies pushed back to Quanrong Star, and the Quanrong people were defeated... But it was not until the military cleared out their sacrificial temples that we discovered, those bloodthirsty and crazy yet paradoxically advanced in high technology, were actually subordinates to another interstellar species—the 'Ross Clan.' Above the Ross Clan, even more terrifying entities existed!"

"Humanity faced an even more brutal test, and the Federation directly entered an enduring era of hundreds of years of warfare. Later, through a civil vote of the Federation, the 'All-Knowing Brain' passed the resolution to designate November 1st as the Great Catastrophe Day..."

Fang Xing spoke confidently.

"Good, you may sit down now..."

Lan Fei gave Fang Xing a 'you've passed' look, her voice becoming very heavy: "Originally, we thought that the mainstream species in the universe were civilized, like the 'Giant Rock Clan' and 'Wood God Star People' we had previously discovered. But after the Great Catastrophe Day, we learned that madness is the mainstream in the dark jungle of the universe. The Quanrong Clan and the entities behind them are the true cancer of the cosmos!"

"Hundreds of years of war, we, the Blue Star Federation, paid an extremely painful price. Even so, our civilization has never surrendered to those evil gods from the outer realms!"

...

After Fang Xing sat down, his consciousness still felt slightly dazed.

He looked at the textbook in his hand, which seemed like regular paper, but weightless, giving off a science fiction vibe—it was clearly a projected product.

The cover bore a line of text—'Alien Species Atlas'!

He flipped through, finding the Quanrong Clan's page, noting the illustration was quite vague, seemingly deliberately processed, with contours somewhat akin to that of a dog-headed person.

Behind it, an annotation—Subordinate Clan Level!

A few pages after the Quanrong Clan was a shadowy figure shrouded in black mist, designated as the Ross Clan, High-rank Clan Level!

"Evil God's Clan..."

Fang Xing murmured to himself.

In the vast cosmos, towering above the many alien clans, lurking in the depths of dimensions, and accompanied by terrifying madness were the 'Outer Realm Evil Gods'!

They were immensely horrifying, immensely powerful, the mortal enemies of the Blue Star Federation and other advanced extraterrestrial civilizations!

Just some of their clans and servants wielded power enough to annihilate early-stage cosmic civilizations!

```

However, these "Outer Realm Evil Gods" were not completely invincible; otherwise, the Blue Star Federation would have been extinguished long ago.

Fang Xing flipped to the last page of the "Alien Species Atlas," and before his eyes appeared an image resembling a burnt-out star.

Beside it, the description glaringly recorded—

"[Swallowing Star·Kegturim], whose body is a star, is the first 'Outer Realm Evil God' to be killed by the Blue Star Federation, rank—Lower Dominator!"

'Lower? Do Outer Realm Evil Gods also have ranks? The Federation includes this in the textbook, surely to boost morale, but this "extinguished star" is definitely not their true form. Most of these Outer Realm Evil Gods are said to have the attribute of being 'unwatchable,' and just one look could shatter human sanity... Even their subordinates, the Clan members, are rumored to carry memes that spread madness. According to scientists' conjectures, this domain or authority of "Blind Foolishness" might be linked to a common origin they share or a cult they worship... But this conjecture is despairing, as it implies that above the 'Outer Realm Evil Gods,' there exists an even higher rank, resembling a 'creator'...'

Fang Xing pondered secretly.

Just then, the bell for the end of class rang.

"Today's lesson is over, students, goodbye..."

On the podium, the voluptuous teacher Lan Fei waved with a smile, her figure suddenly becoming ethereal and vanishing from sight.

"Ah, it's a hologram again..."

Liu Wei let out a lament from beside him.

Fang Xing saw that the textbook in his hand also dissolved and couldn't help but nod to himself.

The Federation's current teaching instructors and tools all used a projection mode, but the realism far surpassed the so-called 3D.

Liu Wei was the same age as him and had been the former Fang Xing's desk mate and friend, with a slightly high hairline and some acne on his face.

He looked at Fang Xing and complained, "I can't understand why we still have to come to school when the Federation had announced that the 'Learning Device,' which injects knowledge directly, has already been successfully developed. It's delaying our part-time jobs; I want to pay off my loan sooner, and even buy the house I'm living in now..."

Fang Xing sighed, "The main issue is that the upcoming 'Martial Arts class' must be taught in person, even a real projection won't do, since the insubstantial 'Martial Arts Will' is a problem that our current technology can't solve; the human spirit is more complex than any science... And there are also security and ethical issues with using consciousness injection to learn ordinary knowledge. If a member of a rogue Cult tampers with the teaching materials, the consequences could be disastrous..."

"Ethics, huh... What ethics do we 'bio-humans' even have?"

Liu Wei spread his hands, looking very speechless.

Fang Xing was reminded of the life story of the person with whom he shared his name and fell into silence.

With the advancement of technology, human reproductive concepts were also constantly changing.

In addition to the pressure of war, issues of an aging population and declining birthrate became prominent... After the Great Calamity Day, the Blue Star Federation introduced a series of laws, calling for citizens to donate eggs and sperm, which the state would then randomly match, cultivating them in nurturing pods to maturity, raising them uniformly.

Such people were known as 'bio-humans,' while those born the traditional way, carried for ten months in the womb, were known as 'natural humans.'

'So, I was just one more orphan churned out by the system?'

Fang Xing felt a barrage of sarcasm flood his mind as he sifted through these memories.

'But at least it's just equivalent to being a test-tube baby, externally cultivated for ten months... The Federation still has some conscience, not resorting to cloning or genetic modification... Come to think of it, my biological parents could very well still be alive, possibly even holding high positions within the Federation...'

Why high positions?

Naturally, because the better the genes, the more valuable they are to cultivate!

In his previous life, those who went for artificial insemination would have surely preferred the excellent genes of Nobel laureates or Olympic champions if given the choice.

What Fang Xing truly felt sad about was that he was born owing the Federation a significant 'nurturing fee,' like being born with a loan. If it wasn't repaid by adulthood, one would be forcibly assigned to work off the debt—most likely sent to the frontline as a soldier...

While he was drowning in his complaints, the classroom environment drastically changed!

Textbooks, pens, and other educational tools disappeared, desks and chairs automatically sank into the ground, revealing a polished floor.

It wasn't long before a tall thirty-something Asian man with bulging muscles, wearing a thin, perspiration-showing army green shirt, strode into the classroom.

Fang Xing's eyes met his, and he suddenly felt a chill.

'This man is definitely not any hologram, but a real person, and a powerful Martial Artist at that... Hmm, he's Fang Xing's Martial Arts teacher, named Xia Long? I wonder at which level of Martial Artist he is?'

'In this world, where the Ancient Martial practices of Blue Star met advanced cosmic technology, they exuded unique vitality and became one of the most common pathways for human evolution, with 'Martial Artists' becoming the most widespread 'Profession'...'

Fang Xing's eyelids lowered, but a flicker of anticipation rose in his heart.
