Blue Star is a planet very similar to Earth, but it is more than ten times the size of Earth.

The development of Blue Star was very similar to that of Earth three thousand years ago. There were many countries and races, and war was a common occurrence, becoming a means of competition between nations.

But all of this changed three thousand years ago. A mysterious energy suddenly appeared on Earth, and some people gained power beyond that of ordinary people overnight, like knights-errant who could fight ten men at once in martial arts novels. Others were as powerful as gods from mythology, possessing the magical ability to manipulate wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning.

As more and more people acquire superpowers, the world begins to change. Firearms are gradually phased out, and the number of superhumans becomes a standard for measuring a country's strength. After nearly three thousand years of development, Earth has completely transformed. The former nations have become history, and the concept of nations no longer exists on Earth. The entire world is ruled by dozens of powerful forces.

The Huaxia Alliance is one of only two super alliances on Earth, ranking alongside the Europa Alliance as a super-level alliance. Other alliances depend on these two for survival.

Shanghai, the largest city in the Huaxia Alliance, is home to a quarter of the alliance's population. Skyscrapers stand tall, and aircraft constantly shuttle between them in the sky. Countless buildings are constantly displaying various projected advertisements, all recruiting students for various superpowered academies. On the screen, stunningly beautiful women suddenly spread their angel-like wings and soar into the sky, while handsome men suddenly transform into firemen, instantly burning down the surrounding forest.

Beneath a projection on a tall building, Li Daoyi held Mengmeng in his arms, with Saitama beside him. The three of them, each holding a drink, quietly watched the scene on the screen.

"Slurp, slurp." Mengmeng happily drank the beverage in her hand that tasted somewhat like cola, her eyes squinting with happiness.

Behind them was a strange vehicle. It had no wheels and floated on the ground. The vehicle was decorated with various drinks and foods, and it looked very similar to the food trucks that Li Daoyi knew.

"Uncle, I want another drink." Mengmeng finished her drink and turned to call out to the food cart.

"Good guest." A voice rang out, and then a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties walked out of the food cart. The man smiled and handed Mengmeng a drink, then took the empty cup from her hand.

"Hehe." The little guy smiled adorably.

"So cute," the man thought to himself. He had never seen such an adorable child before.

The man then looked at Li Daoyi and Qi Yu. The two seemed to find everything around them fascinating, and the man couldn't help but wonder if they were from an ancient land.

Ancient lands are a collective term for places inhabited by people who despise modern civilization and prefer to preserve everything in its original state. These people often exist in the form of families, are mysterious and powerful, and have cooperative relationships with alliances of various countries.

"Huh? What's wrong, boss?" Sensing the gaze behind him, Li Daoyi turned around to look at the man.

The man gave an awkward smile and said.

"Guests, is this your first time in Shanghai? My name is Li Yuan, you can just call me Lao Li."

“Li Yuan? What a coincidence, my surname is also Li. That’s right, this is our first time here.” Li Daoyi smiled.

He then looked at the boss. The man's aura was very weak, he had no abilities, and he was just an ordinary person.

Seemingly sensing Li Daoyi's question, Li Yuan quickly replied.

"It seems this is the first time you've met someone like me. I'm not a superhuman, just an ordinary person," Li Yuan said with a somewhat somber expression.

However, his eyes soon lit up.

"My daughter, Xiao Kui, is twelve years old this year. She will awaken her superpowers soon. I believe she will succeed." After saying that, Li Yuan showed an excited expression, his eyes fixed on the screen in front of him. The screen was showing teenagers displaying all sorts of fancy superpowers.

It turns out that people in this world have a chance to awaken their superpowers every twelve years. Of course, some people are born with superpowers, but this number is extremely rare.

"Boss, where is your wife?" Li Daoyi asked at this moment.

The boss, who had been excited, suddenly turned sad and sighed deeply.

"She died. Xiao Kui died when she had just turned three."

"Dead? Sorry."

"It's an alien beast. The plane my wife was on was attacked by alien beasts," the boss continued.

"What is an alien beast?" Li Daoyi asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but raise his head to look at Li Daoyi, his eyes full of questions. How could this person not even know about alien beasts? Even someone from the ancient land wouldn't know this. The ancient race has always been one of the main forces fighting against alien monsters.

However, seeing the questioning look in the other party's eyes, Li Yuan still began to explain.

Alien Beasts, as the name suggests, are creatures not belonging to Earth. Thousands of years ago, not long after Earth began to undergo strange changes, these creatures appeared in various parts of the world through interdimensional portals. Humanity waged a long war against them. People discovered that firearms seemed to have limited effectiveness against these monsters, while those who awakened superpowers were able to harm them. This is why firearms became obsolete and superpowers rose to prominence. After years of fighting, humanity gradually regained the upper hand, and alien beasts rarely appeared on Earth anymore. However, every year, alien beasts still descend through spatial rifts, each time causing immense destruction.

"I see, thank you very much, boss." Li Daoyi smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"Uncle, give me another cup." Mengmeng shook the empty cup in her hand again.

"Okay...uh..." Li Yuan replied habitually, but then realized something was wrong. This kid seems to have drunk his ninth cup now, right?

Looking at Mengmeng's adorable little face and then at her round little belly, Li Yuan looked at Li Daoyi with some concern.

"Guest, drinking too much of this beverage is not good."

"Haha, it's okay, give it to her." Li Daoyi patted the little girl's head and laughed.

"Well... okay." Li Yuan nodded and immediately made another drink for Mengmeng.

"It seems this child is also a superhuman. Impressive. No wonder he comes from the ancient land."

"Ha, boss, give me another sausage," Saitama said.

"Good guest."

The shopkeeper immediately took out a sausage and handed it to Saitama.

"Such strong arms, he must be a strength-type ability user." The boss thought to himself as he looked at Saitama's thick arms.

The group ate and chatted, observing their surroundings as they went. Soon, everything in Li Yuan's food cart was gone.

Looking at the empty food cart, Li Yuan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. Many of the people who bought things from him were superhumans, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone eat so much.

It's time to pay.

"Sir, the total is three thousand one hundred yuan. You can just give me three thousand."

"Well..."

Li Daoyi was somewhat embarrassed because he didn't have the money from this world.

"You can also pay by card, guest," Li Yuan continued.

Although he could use magic to get money from people around him, this was inconsistent with his usual personality.

"Will you accept the gold?" Li Daoyi asked, pulling out a fist-sized gold ingot from his pocket.

"Gold? This... There are too many guests, I can't make change." Li Yuan was taken aback.

Li Daoyi smiled slightly. It seems that gold is indeed a hard currency.

"It's alright, take it!" Li Daoyi said, throwing the gold over directly.

Li Yuan reached out and caught it. It was heavy. It was the first time he had ever seen such a large piece of gold. He had only seen gold jewelry in stores before.

This huge lump is equivalent to what he sells for a month.

"Beep beep..."

Just then, a bell rang. Li Yuan hurriedly put away the gold ingot, put his hand to his ear and pressed it lightly. A small virtual screen instantly appeared in front of him, showing a very pretty and cute girl.

"Xiao Kui".

"Dad, I'm out of school. Where are you? I'm coming to find you," the girl on the screen said.

Li Yuan then quickly reported his location, and the screen immediately turned off.

"Hehe, I set up my stall around Lingling's school every day so it's convenient for us to go home together after school," Li Yuan explained.

"Would it be convenient for me to come to your house for a visit?" Li Daoyi asked, as he still had many things to ask.

"Of course, of course," Li Yuan, who was just worried about having accepted so much money from others, quickly agreed.

About ten minutes later, a hovercar slowly descended from the sky above the street, filled with children around ten years old.

"Wow, look, that little girl is so cute."

"Really?"

The children in the car exclaimed in surprise when they saw the adorable creature by the roadside, and some even took out their phones to take pictures.

The car door opened, and a girl jumped out of the car.

"Goodbye everyone, let's cheer each other on in the Awakening Arena!" The girl waved goodbye to her classmates in the car.

"Whoosh..." The car quickly took off again.

"Dad!" The girl ran over happily. But she quickly stopped because she noticed several strangers next to her father's food cart.

"Xiao Kui, come here quickly, this is Mr. Li."

"Hello." The little girl bowed very politely.

“Daughter, let me tell you, they might be from an ancient clan,” Li Yuan said quietly, pulling his daughter aside.

"Gu...uh..." Xiao Kui was startled and cried out, but her father quickly covered her mouth.

"Don't shout."

Xiao Kui cautiously peeked out and looked at Li Daoyi and Qi Yu. Sure enough, the two had extraordinary bearing, and even the little girl was excessively cute. Those were ancient clans! She had never seen them before, only on TV. These people were almost all powerful figures, like unattainable stars to a child like her who had grown up in an ordinary family.

"Hello." Li Daoyi greeted the little girl with a smile.

Xiao Kui blushed instantly, lowered her head, and dared not speak. Her innocent liveliness when she got off the car had turned into restraint.
