The strongest SSS-level solar flare in human civilization's history erupts, and the technological civilization is destroyed by a geomagnetic storm that sweeps across the globe. After the eruption, the sun falls into a slumber, and Blue Star is plunged into an icy apocalypse. More than 90% of species become extinct. The other creatures that survive begin to mutate. Humanity faces an unprecedented racial disaster. Lin Shi is reborn three months before the end of the world and activates his family's heirloom, the cornucopia! He gains an upgradable space and the ability to duplicate any item! He hoards a vast amount of supplies and builds the ultimate shelter. The beginning of the apocalypse is the day when the killing begins.
On the morning of June 1st, Lin practiced the "Health Preservation Formula" on the flat ground outside the shelter as usual.
Zhao Xiao had invited him to go diving today, but he declined with the excuse of having other matters to attend to.
He wanted to stay at the shelter to observe any differences between the sun during a solar flare eruption and its normal state.
After today's solar flare eruption, the intense solar storm would not reach Earth until June 4th.
So, before the 4th, Blue Star was still temporarily safe.
The strange thing about this solar flare eruption was that no country had detected any anomalies.
With the current technology on Blue Star, this situation was very peculiar.
At this moment, Lin was wearing a pair of sunglasses.
Although his body movements were constantly changing, his eyes never left the sun in the sky.
Such a posture was undoubtedly somewhat comical.
A few villagers from the foot of the mountain saw this scene from a distance and started discussing.
"What is that young man doing? Performing a ritual?"
"He looks quite eerie."
"Looking at the thing he built, it doesn't seem normal."
"Then do we still ask for money?"
"We do! We must! What are we afraid of? We'll go and ask for it tomorrow.
I'll go and discuss with Uncle Li how to ask for it this time."
...
After completing five sets of the "Health Preservation Formula," Lin began the sixth set when he suddenly paused.
The reason for his pause was not because the sun he had been staring at had changed in any way, but because the Treasure Pot interface, which had not shown any significant changes since its upgrade, had suddenly turned into a bunch of garbled code!
What was going on?
Lin was shocked and immediately stopped his practice to observe the Treasure Pot.
He found that not only had the Treasure Pot interface turned into garbled code, but he could no longer sense the space!
Lin's pupils shrank, and he was extremely alarmed!
All the supplies he had stockpiled over the past three months were stored in the space.
If the space suddenly stopped working, his advantage of being reborn would be greatly reduced.
At this moment, Lin suddenly realized that he had relied too much on the space.
About a dozen seconds later, the garbled code in front of him formed a bunch of Chinese characters.
[Blue Star Post-Apocalyptic Reset has been activated for the third time.
This process will accelerate the evolutionary progress of species.
The "Treasure Pot" has been recognized as belonging to an intelligent creature, and the Fire Seed Protection Plan has been initiated.]
Lin's pupils quaked!
The information contained in this statement was too vast!
Post-apocalyptic reset?!
The third time?
He had experienced the previous life's apocalypse, returned to before the apocalypse, and experienced it again.
Does that count as two times?
Then why does the "Treasure Pot" show that this is the third time?
Could it be that before his rebirth in the previous life, the apocalypse had already been reset once?
He didn't have time to think about the meaning of the following words, and the interface in front of him reformed into another sentence.
[The first wave of danger will arrive in 71 hours, please be prepared.]
Lin's heart pounded like a drum!
Was this a hint?!
Was this Treasure Pot intelligent?!
A dozen seconds later, the text disappeared, and the Treasure Pot interface returned to normal.
The space was also sensed by Lin again.
However, the countdown of 71 hours and 43 minutes in the upper right corner of the interface made Lin realize that what had just happened was not an illusion.
Lin turned and returned to the shelter, made himself a cup of coffee, took a few sips, and calmed himself down.
He recalled the anomalies that had appeared on the "Treasure Pot" interface before.
He speculated that this wave of anomalies was very likely related to the so-called "SSS-level solar flare eruption."
The solar flare eruption became the beginning of this apocalypse, and the text that appeared on the Treasure Pot before:
[Blue Star Post-Apocalyptic Reset has been activated for the third time.
This process will accelerate the evolutionary progress of species.
The "Treasure Pot" has been recognized as belonging to an intelligent creature, and the Fire Seed Protection Plan has been initiated.]
Also declared that the apocalypse had already begun.
Lin was very concerned about the number three.
Think carefully, perhaps no one in this world knows, except for himself, that he will experience the apocalypse once again.
The matter of rebirth still feels bizarre when Lin Shi thinks back on it to this day.
He died, but he was reborn back to eight years ago.
All of humanity, the entire Blue Planet, returned to the state of eight years ago.
Is this a reversal of time?
Or a reset of the game?
In the known cognition of humanity, time cannot flow backward, unless it is elevated to a theological perspective.
The Mandela Effect?
The work of the divine?
A game of higher civilizations?
Or the correction of the inherent forces of natural laws?
And such a thing might have already happened for the third time.
Before he obtained this cornucopia, time also flowed backward, and humanity also experienced the apocalyptic disaster that would appear in a few days?
And when the first apocalypse was reset, was he also like the other billions of humans and countless creatures, completely unaware of it?
Why was it reset three times?
Was it because all life on the Blue Planet was extinguished in the previous two times?
This guess is too astonishing and too terrifying.
"What exactly is the 'cornucopia'?"
Why does such information appear?
No wonder it is said that knowing too much is not a good thing.
The more Lin Shi thinks, the more questions he has, his breathing is rapid, his brain is buzzing, almost about to explode.
His heart is beating very fast, and he can't calm down at all.
He was scared.
If he keeps thinking like this, Lin Shi would start to doubt whether the universe known to humanity is being manipulated by some higher civilizations.
They are like someone else's lab rats, being experimented on over and over again.
Lin Shi closed his eyes, humming a song to distract himself.
After humming a song, he finally threw out these bizarre thoughts from his mind.
He took out his computer and started looking for some information about the Ice Age.
The Blue Planet has had several Ice Ages.
Before this extremely cold apocalypse, human ancestors experienced an Ice Age that lasted for more than two million years.
It ended more than ten thousand years ago.
This period is also known as the Quaternary Ice Age.
Lin Shi only browsed roughly about whether humans were involved in the previous three ice ages and the specific situation.
Just talking about this Quaternary Ice Age, it almost led to the extinction of all animals that are not cold-resistant.
Most of the animals that survived and lived in the ice and snow are mostly animals with long hair.
But humans survived.
As for why humans could survive, some scientists speculate that it is because humans have strong creativity and adaptability.
However, Lin Shi feels that this explanation cannot stand firm.
Those who have not experienced extreme cold cannot imagine the horror of extreme cold.
In the eighth year of the apocalypse, only less than a million of the 7.8 billion humans in the world remained.
This shows the horror of the apocalypse.
And during that period more than two million years ago, there were no technological items, resources were extremely scarce.
There was a lack of plants, and there were no drugs.
Countless large carnivorous mammals such as saber-toothed tigers, short-faced bears, fierce lions, and dire wolves lived during this period.
They are huge, fierce, and carnivorous.
With the normal human body size and speed, they can only become food for these large carnivorous animals.
Even if they can survive in extremely low temperatures, it is difficult to survive.
What's even more bizarre is that after the Ice Age ended, these fierce large creatures all became extinct.
And humans still reproduce to this day.
This is hard to explain with adaptability and creativity.
But if there is the participation and help of higher civilizations in this, then everything makes much more sense.
