February 13th, sunny.
"This is the 14th day since I traveled through time, and no one has noticed anything amiss today. I've hidden myself very well."
Lu Fan stopped writing; he was a time traveler.
On an ordinary day, after a bout of dizziness, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar parallel world.
Lu Fan was filled with fear and confusion. As a newcomer, he knew nothing about this world.
The only thing I could do was to carefully conceal my identity, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
He dared not confide his secret to anyone, and could only record his time-traveling experience and inner fears, stroke by stroke, in a small diary in the dead of night, under the dim light.
In this world, Lu Fan quickly discovered that resource scarcity had become an extremely serious problem.
Natural resources are rapidly decreasing in just a few years, and people are gradually becoming exhausted and desperate in the struggle for resources.
However, just when humanity was on the verge of collapse, scientists, with their amazing wisdom and tireless efforts, successfully invented space technology.
This great invention, like a ray of dawn in the darkness, instantly broke the deadlock of resource scarcity.
Through space technology, people have once again created resources that seem inexhaustible, and human society has once again been revitalized.
Good times don't last long; fate doesn't seem to intend to let this world off easily.
A sudden disease spread rapidly like a surging tide, sweeping across the entire world without warning.
Disease mercilessly devours people's lives, and countless people struggle in pain, ultimately losing their precious lives.
Immediately following, a series of disasters struck, with floods raging like wild beasts and destroying countless homes.
Frequent, powerful earthquakes have torn the earth apart, leaving it devastated.
Extreme heat and extreme cold alternate, causing people to suffer through the heat and cold.
Human society has once again fallen into a great predicament, and the prosperity and hope of the past have vanished in an instant.
At this critical moment of life and death, an outstanding scientist named Hua Hongrui stepped forward.
After countless days and nights of arduous research, he successfully created the "Dream" system.
This system is a groundbreaking invention, capable of uploading human consciousness into the online world.
People can live a happy and fulfilling life in a virtual online world simply by lying in a device called a sleep pod and relying on a small amount of nutrient solution to sustain their lives.
This invention not only greatly reduces resource consumption in the real world, but also enables humanity to achieve an alternative form of immortality.
For a time, the "Dream" system became a beacon of hope for people to escape their real-world predicaments, and Lu Fan, like many others, joined the trend of pursuing the "Dream".
However, a crisis often lurks beneath a calm surface.
As more and more people immerse themselves in the online world, a lawless criminal gang has quietly emerged.
They act recklessly in the online world, blatantly disrupting the original rules and attempting to seize control of the entire online world.
At the same time, the conflict between conservatives in the real world who believe that the physical body is the only reality and dreamers who pursue the online world is becoming increasingly acute.
The two sides held diametrically opposed views and refused to yield to each other. Ultimately, the conflict escalated to the point that a fierce war broke out.
This war has not only stirred up a storm in the online world, but has also had a huge impact on the real world.
Under the brutal baptism of war, human society suffered unprecedented damage and finally ushered in its end.
Lu Fan barely survived the disaster, enduring a difficult existence.
Just when he was on the verge of death, a group of scientists found him.
It turns out that because memories are read when consciousness is uploaded to the network world, scientists discovered the secret of his time travel in Lu Fan's memories.
They realized that Lu Fan's time travel might not be accidental, and that he might be the key to saving humanity.
However, before scientists could conduct in-depth research and experiments on Lu Fan, the smoke of war once again filled the air.
In order to preserve the last glimmer of hope, scientists uploaded Lu Fan's consciousness to the network world at a critical moment.
He was granted the highest level of access to the online world, with the hope that he could use this special identity to find a way to save the world.
From then on, Lu Fan lived in the online world as a consciousness.
He witnessed the extinction of humanity and the world fell into a deathly silence, which filled his heart with endless pain and depression. For many years, he remained immersed in sorrow and despair.
However, time heals all wounds, and after a long period of depression, Lu Fan gradually cheered up.
He began to reflect on his time-travel experience and suddenly realized that perhaps his purpose in coming to this world was to take on the mission of saving humanity.
So, with the highest authority in the online world, he controlled some production robots and began to integrate all the world's productive forces.
He knew that only by vigorously developing science and technology could a way to save humanity be found.
Thanks to Lu Fan's tireless efforts, science and technology have developed rapidly.
After countless experiments and research, he even successfully developed the technology to upload physical bodies. The emergence of this technology seemed to offer a glimmer of hope for the revival of humanity.
However, the road ahead is not always smooth. There is always a mysterious force secretly hindering the revival of humanity. Whenever Lu Fan makes some progress, he always encounters various obstacles and challenges.
During his long exploration, Lu Fan finally discovered another world, and to his astonishment, this world turned out to be his hometown.
However, the timelines of the two worlds are different. His home world is just facing a shortage of resources, while he has already experienced countless vicissitudes and hardships.
What surprised him even more was that he discovered another version of himself who had also traveled through time in his home world.
In other words, the two of them wore the same clothes!
To prevent his home world from repeating the same mistakes, Lu Fan decided to take action.
He used his spatial technology to create a game called "Wilderness Survival Challenge".
He brings people into this world and puts them through wilderness survival, hoping to stimulate their survival instincts and creativity while addressing the problem of resource scarcity.
Since the two worlds were originally one, he felt it was his responsibility and obligation to change everything.
In order to enable his other self to survive better, Lu Fan added a false set of memories to the other person.
However, in subsequent observations, he discovered that his other self seemed to possess different abilities.
Whenever his other self faces danger, a mysterious divine voice will sound, giving him crucial guidance.
Through Lu Fan's in-depth observation and analysis, he was surprised to discover that these clues actually originated from a more advanced civilization.
And this technology comes from the future!
This discovery made Lu Fan realize that people in the future seemed to have chosen another version of himself, placing their hopes for saving the world on him.
Faced with this situation, Lu Fan was not discouraged; instead, he became even more determined in his beliefs.
He knew that the fate of humanity might be in their hands.
Therefore, he began to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth analysis and calculation of the two worlds.
After a long period of research, he came to a startling conclusion: only by merging the two worlds into one could they possibly save themselves from their impending doom.
And it is obvious that the other self is the one who can make the key decisions.
Therefore, he deliberately widened the gap between the survivors and intensified the conflicts between the various countries until the moment of total explosion.
Then he found another version of himself and was given a choice.
In fact, the fact that another version of myself possessed the Heavenly Dao's prompting sound signifies that humanity has successfully revived.
It's just that we don't know which world he chose.
Whichever side he chooses, that's the side from which the Heavenly Dao notification will be sent. It's quite interesting, like Schrödinger's cat.
He just didn't expect that his other self would ultimately choose such an extreme method.
But it's all for the best; humanity needs a revolution...
