The Beginning: Simulating the Apocalypse

Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Collision between Technology and Mystery

【Due to the premature shattering of the colossal meteorite by the Devouring Demon Dragon, Blue Star avoided the tragic fate of being bombarded by a meteorite and did not suffer from any erosion via evolutionary virus. The trajectory of Blue Star’s destiny encountered a significant change.】

【Alien creatures were wary of the inexplicable disappearance of the meteorite and dared not casually enter the solar system. From then on, Blue Star began its normal development path.】

【The simulation ends here. Would you like to save the progress?】

“Save it. Let’s name this save file ‘Evolutionary Frenzy: Descent of the Dragon,'” Jiang Yi’s eyes were indifferent.

The purpose of this simulation was never grand. It was just to ensure the smooth birth of the Devouring Demon Dragon. Now that the Dragon had been born, it was time to return to the real world.

He waved slightly towards the Devouring Demon Dragon in the distance, and it obediently flew over, shrinking its body until it became the size of a house cat and nestled into Jiang Yi’s arms.

Without being a true extraordinary individual or possessing special detection instruments, no one could detect that this seemingly small-sized dragon was actually a colossal devouring beast comparable to a star.

【Save successful. Named successfully.】

With the system’s announcement, the simulated world in front of Jiang Yi began to fragment.

Everything faded into nothingness, except for the baby dragon cradled in his arms, which followed him back to the real world.

【Simulation rewards distribution begins. Specifics are as follows: Eggshell after the hatching of the Devouring Beast, detailed explanation of feeding the Devouring Beast.】

【Acquired simulation points: 50000】

【All rewards can be freely withdrawn by the Host with just a thought.】

【Special reminder: The eggshell of the Devouring Beast can be used as food for feeding, accelerating the growth rate of the Devouring Beast.】

“So, this eggshell is Big Eyes’ food?” Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.

He placed the shrunken baby dragon on the ground and then casually tossed a small piece of eggshell fragment from the system panel. As expected, the dragon’s eyes were instantly drawn to the eggshell.

With a toss, the dragon instinctively pounced on it.

Under Jiang Yi’s gaze, his pet devoured the eggshell while rapidly growing in size.

The newly-formed tender dragon scales gradually turned black and hardened, gleaming with a metallic sheen, as if cast from obsidian.

It had to be admitted; the Devouring Beast was indeed a rare gluttonous race in the universe.

After feeding the entire huge eggshell, the baby dragon patted its belly satisfactorily, emitting a cheerful “roar”.

With the abundant feeding of eggshells, the dragon’s body was rapidly growing, showing some progress in strength compared to before.

At that moment, although Jiang Yi intervened to suppress all the dragon’s aura, the entire Blue Star still fell into a brief silence, and a few extremely perceptive beings even sensed a strong threat to life.

For example, in the real world, the Huang, who had already entered the ranks of martial artists, felt his heart suddenly contract. His body instinctively retreated, as if targeted by a dangerous snake.

“What… what’s going on?!

“That strong sense of threat, and the feeling of my own insignificance… could it be that the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon has appeared?!”

Huang’s expression fluctuated.

Not knowing about the existence of the Thousand-Eyed Devouring Demon Dragon, he could only speculate about his old nemesis — the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon.

“It seems that the national side needs to continue accelerating the research on Gene Serum. Humanity… can’t wait any longer!”

—

Not only the Huang, but countries around the world had their own speculations about this inexplicable pressure.

Almost everyone felt that this time was definitely related to the Observer.

Jiang Yi wasn’t concerned about this.

After spending a day in his new home, when the cooling time of the simulation system ended, Jiang Yi once again opened the system panel.

“To initiate a new timeline simulation, it will cost one hundred thousand simulation points.

“However, now that I’ve run out of simulation points for hatching Big Eyes, I guess…”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yi ultimately chose the starting file for “Invasion of the Evil God”.

In the timeline of the Evil God’s invasion, there were already two different outcomes: being colonized by aliens after stopping the sacrifice ritual, and being corrupted by the ancient overlord after the ritual’s success.

In both versions, humanity’s final fate appeared extremely tragic regardless of whether the sacrifice ritual was thwarted or not.

So, Jiang Yi had a sudden inspiration.

If given some help, could the people in this timeline create more brilliance?

【Save file loaded successfully. Continue simulation.】

The next moment, the scenery in front of Jiang Yi changed once again.

Familiar skyscrapers, bustling streets. Anyone seeing such prosperity wouldn’t imagine that the Blue Star would soon face complete destruction.

“Let me see what kind of spark will be ignited when the gene elixir clashes with the power of the Evil God,” Jiang Yi muttered, producing a bottle of Gene Serum Type IV in his hand.

The fourth-generation Gene Serum.

This was one of the rewards Jiang Yi obtained during the simulation of “Evolutionary Frenzy: Humanity’s Counterattack” before. Due to the ability to directly fuse with the body of a planetary-level warrior, this bottle of Gene Serum had never been used and had been stored within the system by Jiang Yi.

Now, he intended to give this bottle of gene serum to the old man in Summer Country.

He would ket the Summer Country in this world research and develop gene potentials while also studying the aura and power of the Evil God.

“It’s truly an exciting development,” Jiang Yi said with a smile.

The gene serum from the technological side, colliding with the ancient overlord from the mysterious side. Between the friction of these two forces, who knew what interesting things would emerge?

With a thought, Jiang Yi’s figure disappeared from where he stood.

His destination: the Tianlong Pavilion in the imperial capital of Summer Country, to meet his “old friend.”
