Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 39: Way Back (2)

# ANOTHERWORLD

God’s Path was a mysterious game that appeared on the blue planet 20 years ago.

Only 1 million slots were opened every month.

Once a person became a player of the game, they would gain superpowers and become stronger than normal people.

…

Ling Yi was able to activate the Super Mutation System after becoming a player.

From consumables to divine weapons, he was able to mutate everything.

He was even able to mutate a bunch of cheat-like powers when he maxed out his potential.

When he mutated the +1 luck talent, it became a cheat-like power, Probability Reversal, where he could reverse a 10% possibility to a 90% one.

If an item only had a 0.1% chance of dropping, then it would be 99.9% for him instead.

When he mutated the True Eyes, he got the Eye of Truth, another cheat-like power that not only allowed him to see the hidden stats, but also the information of items.

Other than those two, he also had other powers like the Malevolence Manifestation where he could turn other people’s evil intentions into narration, and the Intelligence Reduction Light which reduced the intelligence of his target.

A year later, Ling Yi, who had achieved titles such as the Fastest Player to Level Up, First Maxed-level Player, and Strongest Man, was in one of his many interviews.

“Actually, I…”

A sudden and inexplicable transformation has caused the entire global population to be reborn in the struggle for survival on the Continent of Overlord.Each person reborn on the Continent of Overlord is randomly reincarnated as a species - some come to life as weeds only to be trampled to death by passing monsters, while others emerge as dominant beings like dragons, naturally ruling the skies...The Dark Creatures invade this other world with reckless abandon, instilling fear and dread across the realm.Reborn the night before the transition to the Continent of Overlord, Charles activates the Zerg Clan System, becoming the Overlord of the Zerg Clan!While others are still grappling with the darkness of the Continent of Overlord, Charles has already constructed a fortress spanning the entirety of Zerg Clan territory and casually wipes out countless Dark Creatures with a burger in one hand and a cola in the other....【Ding! A female has been detected as 100% loyal to the Host. The Zerg Clan System is awakening!】Zerg Queen Catherine: “Master, I've just bought a very thin nightgown. Would you like to experience it personally?”Snake Queen Medusa: “Master, I've already trained these troops for you. When will you train with me?”Snake Emperor Yggdrasil: “Cursed Medusa, don't think of stealing my master!”Elf Goddess Eve: “Silence, all of you! I'm the only true queen, you all are just concubines.”While everyone else struggles to survive and defend against the Dark Creatures...Only Charles raises the divine flame, waging war across the stars!

This story is centered around the man named Yi Ji-Hyuk, who has spent 1000 years in a Medieval Western fantasy-like world before returning back to the modern-day Earth. When he returns, he finds that his home is facing monster threats, and that humans with superpowers have appeared to protect the innocent people of Earth.

Immortal arts, magic weapons, magical powers*, and the boundless spiritual Qi between heaven and earth vanished into obscurity overnight, and all the exorcists became mere mortals.

300 years later, the Five Barbarians traversed the pass, a prelude to an era of great turmoil in China. They heralded the end of the world, where thousands of drought fiends stalked the night and the collapse of the Divine Land** was imminent.

Fortunately, within this long, dark night*** where silence had fallen on all magic, a lone star still glistened brightly on the horizon.

The Heart Lamp appeared, illuminating the vast expanse around it. A 16-year-old young man, who will end his life on his 20th birthday, embarked on a journey of reclaiming the spiritual Qi of the heavens and earth that had been sealed away — only four years remain.

The road ahead was filled with countless thistles and thorns, and it seemed improbable for him to succeed.

Chen Xing, “The important thing is that I’m the last exorcist in this world, yet the only magic I am capable of is emitting light. What can I do?”

Wait patiently then. When the Dinghai pearl reappears on earth, the uncertain trajectory of everyone’s fates will be completely disrupted before converging once more.

Chen Xing, “Could I be partnered with a more normal Protector martial god?”

Isn’t your Protector really skilled in fighting?

Chen Xing, “He is good at fighting, but when he loses it he’ll hit even me……”

There’s nothing that can be done about that, you can only blame yourself for losing yourself to lust.
