In the year 3016 of the Star River Calendar, the Origin Star Federation was discovered and incorporated into the High Civilization Star World Empire.
The following year, the Federation passed the Imperial Assessment Team's certification and officially became the Empire's 2868th Level 2 Civilization.
In the year 3020 of the Star River Calendar, the Federation was forced to join the "Abyss Resistance" plan initiated by the Empire to share the pressure of the Abyss invasion.
In the year 3037 of the Star River Calendar, the Abyss erupted, and the Federation suffered a crushing defeat.
At the end of the same year, the last god of the Federation perished...
......
"No!"
In a dormitory building of the Command Department of the Federal Higher Military Academy.
A handsome young man suddenly sat up in bed, looking somewhat bewildered.
"Where am I? Huh, I'm not dead?!" Jiang Yan, who quickly came to his senses, was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something and looked out the window.
In the azure sky, technologically advanced vehicles come and go.
Media ships were broadcasting stories of heroes, creating a scene of prosperity.
"Breaking news! Martial God Du Changkong infiltrated the 27th floor of the Endless Abyss and successfully killed the S-class Demon God 'Ghost Eye,' winning 100 precious survival points for the Federation."
"In the 13th Abyss Trial, Lord Thunder, whose Dao originated from the 23rd level of the Endless Abyss, led his clan to kill 0.73 billion Abyss troops, ranking 17th among all races in the same level, and winning 70 survival points for the Federation."
"The ninth batch of logins for 'All Realms' will begin tomorrow..."
The Thirteenth Abyss Trial? The Ninth Batch of Login to "All Realms"?
What's going on? We've already reached the 30th stage of the Abyss Trial...
Wait, wasn't my divine kingdom shattered by the Abyss Demon God's palm strike?
Could it be...
Looking at everything familiar before him, Jiang Yan's heart began to pound.
He looked around, his gaze finally settling on the crystal watch on his wrist. It was an old, obsolete model of a Type I home-use assisted intelligent life support system.
"Xiao Die," Jiang Yan called out tentatively.
"Master, I'm here."
A palm-sized, illusory butterfly appeared in response.
What's the date today?
"March 6th, 3027, Master."
3027! Ten years ago?!
Jiang Yan's pupils contracted slightly, somewhat incredulous. Suddenly, as if remembering something, her voice trembled:
"Connect to Beihai's official live streaming channel."
"You have been switched to this channel."
The butterfly's phantom gently fluttered its wings, and a pale blue light screen rose up, connecting to the Beihai Channel.
Jiang Yan stared intently.
Above the calm sea, a seven-colored barrier shone brightly, and a spatial rift tens of meters long could be vaguely seen inside.
Wisps of scarlet mist seeped from the cracks, crashing against the edge of the barrier as if they were alive.
The number floating in the center of the barrier changed from 913 to 912.5 as the fog continued to erode it.
That is, two and a half years.
This represents the duration the barrier can withstand under normal circumstances. Once the barrier shatters, the abyss will descend and destroy everything.
Only survival points obtained from the "All Realms" can extend the barrier's duration.
Time can be altered, but the extent of erosion in the abyss cannot be faked.
So, I really have been reborn?
Jiang Yan's expression became excited.
In his previous life, he was fortunate enough to obtain an A-level talent in "All Realms," eventually becoming an ordinary god who led a force and held a pivotal position in the Federation.
However, during the thirtieth Abyss Trial, the defense line he was in charge of was wiped out due to faulty intelligence and betrayal by his allies, and he himself was killed by the powerful Abyss Demon.
The fundamental reason is that the reinforcements from the superior Wenming Star Valley did not arrive, and there was a major oversight in the intelligence provided by the Empire.
Everyone in the Origin Star Federation thought it was just an ordinary Abyss Trial, but a large number of unknown demon gods appeared one after another, the Abyss rioted, the defense line collapsed completely, and only one of the Federation's thirty-seven gods survived.
This also led to a significant increase in the erosion rate of the abyss fissures, leaving the remaining gods unable to earn enough survival points, ultimately leading to their extinction.
Looking back now, this must have been premeditated. Nebula Valley would never have dared to do this without the tacit approval of the Star Empire's higher-ups. It seems...
"bite!"
"Master, there is a notice from the academy."
The notification on the watch interrupted Jiang Yan's thoughts.
A virtual notification letter bearing the college's seal appeared before my eyes:
Jiang Yan, student number 03 in the elite class of the Command Department.
Please assemble at the Academy's First Teleportation Center at 9:00 AM tomorrow to log in to "All Realms". Do not be late.
Looking at the notice sent by the college, Jiang Yan collected his thoughts.
Nebula Valley and Star Empire are both behemoths to the entire Origin Star Federation. To uncover the truth and seek revenge, one must possess sufficient strength.
Therefore, this life-or-death test is of utmost importance.
Related memories surfaced in my mind.
Since the Federation joined the Endless Abyss Resistance Plan seven years ago under the command of the Star Empire, the Realms have also arrived.
Some say it's a game played by the gods to toy with all living beings, while others speculate it's the world's will trying to save itself from the invasion of the abyss.
Jiang Yan prefers the latter.
Upon first entering "All Realms", you can choose to become a lord or a professional, and then choose a trial dungeon to be tested. After passing the test, you will obtain a permanent talent that advances to the extraordinary level.
These talents are so powerful that they almost determine future potential.
At least to Jiang Yan's knowledge, those who become gods have at least a B-level talent.
However, unlike most games, talents in "All Realms" are not completely random.
The beginner trial dungeon is divided into eight levels: Easy, Normal, Elite, Hard, Brave, Desperate, Hell, and Overlord, corresponding to talents from D-level to Unique level.
Only by passing the corresponding trials can one obtain the corresponding level of talent permanently.
Furthermore, each person only has one chance to take on the challenge. If they fail, their only way out, aside from using a very limited number of precious items, is to become a support staff member and serve the powerful superhumans.
For lords in particular, the difficulty of the assessment is directly proportional to the strength of the recruits they draw.
Clearly, The Worlds is selecting enough exceptional and fortunate geniuses to fight against the Abyss.
In his previous life, as a top student in the Command Department of the Federal Military Academy, he obeyed the academy's arrangements and chose the Lord Department's difficult-level dungeon.
The randomly assigned option was "Resist a weak-level swarm of insects".
The task is to lead the initial kin to establish a sufficiently strong defensive line within three days and withstand an attack by ten million Zerglings for ten minutes without being wiped out.
The vast swarm of insects still haunted Jiang Yan whenever he recalled it. In less than a minute, the hard-won position was captured, and more than 90% of his men were killed or wounded.
In the end, they managed to stall until the very last second by precisely directing the remaining soldiers to spread out and establish a base to draw aggro.
If it weren't for the "Godspeed" talent that was given out in advance, and the fact that the swarm clearly lacked a commander, he would never have been able to clear the game.
Even the hardest dungeons are fraught with peril, let alone the higher-level trials.
In fact, among the 1,288 elite students in that cohort, only two people, including him, successfully passed the trials of difficulty level or higher.
Even more tragically, he later learned that the upper limit of an A-level talent was only that of an ordinary god, barely enough to serve as cannon fodder in the interdimensional war 10 years later.
He was not afraid of death.
But if, even if reborn, one's divine kingdom is still shattered and destroyed by the Abyss Demon God on the battlefield like a fly being swatted, it's better to just commit suicide.
Fortunately, I had a chance to start over.
