44: A mass exodus of time travelers has arrived!!

Central region of the Chaotic Continent.

"Baby, what's going on? Didn't we jump off a cliff together? How are we not dead?" Zhao Ling asked Wang Hao, who was beside her, in shock.

They had overspent, borrowed a million from online loans, and couldn't pay it back, so they agreed to jump off a thousand-meter mountain peak together.

"My leg? Haha, my leg is actually healed!!!" Su He, 45, was incredibly excited. He had a car accident at 10, resulting in an amputation, and had been confined to a wheelchair since childhood. He fell in love with growing flowers and vegetables, got into Tsinghua University with the highest score in the science stream for the college entrance exam, and chose agricultural science as his major.

Xia Guan Guan, a two-dimensional girl dressed in Lolita fashion, danced with joy: "Yay, I finally Transmigrated! Hahahaha!!!"

Zhang Ye, a special forces soldier from a peacekeeping unit, died during a mission and didn't expect to open his eyes here. He was very calm, observing his surroundings. Including himself, there were twenty people.

"Everyone, my name is Zhang Ye. I'm a special forces soldier. I died on May 28, 2028, around 8:30 PM. What about you?"

Li Changqing, a middle-aged man with a goatee, stroked his beard and nodded: "I also died around the evening of May 28th, I forget the exact time. I heard there was a True Monarch Reincarnation on Wudang Mountain, so I drove there overnight to visit and got into a car accident on the highway."

"Me too! It seems we all died around this time." Wu Hao, wearing fighting gloves, was knocked out by an opponent's punch in a boxing match, dying a clear and unambiguous death.

Chen Xu, a programmer in a plaid shirt, adjusted his glasses: "Then it's very clear. We all died at the same time and are all Huaxia people, which means whoever gathered us here is likely Huaxia; the causes of death were all unnatural, indicating we were specifically chosen; it's very likely they want us to complete a special mission."

Lu Chen frowned!

This programmer is amazing. He's only been here for a few minutes and has already analyzed so much. He'll probably be the main enemy of the native civilizations in the future.

Xia Guan Guan looked around excitedly: "Why think so much? Everyone, just treat it as a death trip and enjoy yourselves!!!"

Just as everyone was exploring and observing their surroundings,

A giant projection appeared in the sky, displaying real-time footage of the two major capitals of the Sunday Empire and the Eternal Night Empire.

"What is this thing!!!" The Transmigrators all looked up to watch.

They saw that the Sunday City, capital of the Sunday Empire, had twelve floating islands, each connected by Holy Light chains.

Countless Cultivators flying on swords shuttled between the islands, leaving golden trails in their wake.

In the Eternal Night Empire, under a black sky, giant flesh fortresses rose from the ground, their city walls constantly writhing with human faces and limbs.

Demon Race knights with bat wings swarmed out of the fortresses, their bone blades dripping corrosive venom, scorching deep, bottomless ravines into the ground below.

Chen Xu's glasses reflected the projection, his brain operating at an astonishing speed.

He drew a mind map in the air with his left hand and a memory palace with his right.

All the buildings, human features, weapon styles, and so on displayed in the projection were quickly stored in his brain.

Su He, on the other hand, focused on the plants, food, commercial forms, clothing, and other aspects of daily life, using them to infer the stage of the civilization.

The others mostly had expressions like they were watching a movie.

Constantly screaming.

Wow!

Holy cow!

Oh my God!!!

So powerful!

So magical!!!

They had no idea that the images they were watching would soon be their enemies.

Lu Chen changed his voice and spoke to the Transmigrators in a deep tone:

"Welcome to Civilization OL. This is a rift world located between virtual and reality. Your Souls are temporarily stored here. As you can see, the projection displays the two strongest Empires in this world, and your mission is to use your imagination to create your own civilization and ultimately defeat the native civilizations."

Xia Guan Guan excitedly started dancing: "Nice, this really is another world! I can't wait to find my little Mage brother."

Zhang Ye's face was grim as he looked at the powerful Cultivators in the projection: "How can we possibly win? We're just a bunch of ordinary people!!!"

Li Changqing laughed heartily: "I've searched high and low, and finally found it without any effort!!! I've finally found a world where I can Cultivate Immortals, haha, it wasn't in vain that I searched for forty years!"

Wu Hao twisted his neck: "It's just a fight, a real man fights!!!"

Lu Chen continued:

"The area you are currently in is the Chaotic Continent's safe zone, with an area of 100,000 square meters. The time limit is twenty years. Within the safe zone, you can resist invasions from other monsters outside. Of course, you can also leave the safe zone and find new territory to develop. Perhaps there will be greater Opportunities, it's all up to you to explore."

He paused, then Lu Chen sneered: "But! You only have one life. Once you die, you will disappear permanently and can never Reincarnate!!!"

At these words, even Zhao Ling and Wang Hao, who had attempted suicide, trembled with fear. More terrifying than death was never being able to Reincarnate for eternity!!!

"Your victory condition is to defeat the native civilizations and kill all natives; the victory reward is: return to Earth and Rebirth."

What!!!

At these words,

Everyone was excited; they could be resurrected!

The thought of having a chance to see their family, wives, and children again ignited everyone's fighting spirit.

Except for Li Changqing and Xia Guan Guan; they didn't want to be resurrected at all.

Li Changqing wanted to stay here forever, seeking the Dao of Cultivation.

Xia Guan Guan wanted to live in the two-dimensional world and never return to that dirty, materialistic Earth!!!

Su He politely asked: "Then what is our average lifespan? Is it the same as on Earth?"

"No comment! Explore it yourselves."

After speaking, Lu Chen returned to Heavenly Dao observation mode.

Everyone spoke at once, and soon fell into an argument.

"Calm down!" Zhang Ye said with a stern face, "First, let's clarify my bottom line: the twenty of us are a single entity. We can discuss and argue, but we cannot resort to physical violence. If anyone wants to solve problems with violence, they'll have to deal with me first."

The special forces soldier's pressure slightly calmed the unrest.

Su He bent down and repeatedly rubbed the ground with his hand: "I propose we stay in the safe zone. The soil here contains special bioactive minerals, the pH value is very stable, and the organic matter content is also very high, making it very suitable for planting. We can temporarily set up a camp here, establish a stronghold, and build the prototype of our civilization."

"Farming? Are you kidding me!" Wu Hao rotated his wrist, which was wearing a fighting glove, "I'm going out! There must be a lot of treasures out there, maybe I can pick up a Divine Artifact!"

The thought of being KO'd in the boxing match filled him with shame. If he could learn powerful skills in this different world and return, he couldn't imagine how awesome that would be!

Li Changqing stroked his goatee and chuckled: "This world is very suitable for Cultivating the Dao. If we're lucky enough to make contact with native Cultivators, perhaps we can also Cultivate Immortals."

Chen Xu pushed up his glasses and calmly said: "The farming faction is the safest and can develop civilization steadily; the adventure faction is a small gamble, purely luck-based, high risk and high reward; the Cultivation faction is the trend, if we want to establish ourselves in this world in the future, we must learn to Cultivate."

He paused, then Chen Xu continued: "No matter which path you choose, you can give me the information and data you obtain, let me analyze it, and I'll help everyone plan the next steps."

"Who do you think you are?" Wu Hao grabbed Chen Xu's plaid shirt, "Why should we listen to someone who only taps code in an office!" Chen Xu's face turned red from the choking, but he didn't retort. One cannot discuss ice with a summer insect.

"Enough!" Zhang Ye pulled Wu Hao away. Wu Hao, being a bully, didn't dare to resist. "Now is not the time for infighting."

He drew his military knife and drew three dividing lines on the ground: "Those who want to farm, stay with Su He; those who want to adventure, go with Wu Hao; those who want to Cultivate Immortals, find Li Changqing."

His blade pointed at Chen Xu: "You are responsible for information integration and timely sharing. If you dare to be selfish —" The blade flashed with cold light, "I will personally slit your throat."

Xia Guan Guan stomped her foot: "Hmph, what does that mean? Is no one going to play with me? I'm the playing faction, who wants to go out and play with me?"

Chen Xu said indifferently: "Although your death has nothing to do with me, seeing as we are both Huaxia people, I still want to remind you that this is not a comic convention, nor is it a spring outing. If you go out like this, you won't live for 24 hours."

Xia Guan Guan grinned: "So what? I've already died anyway. No one wants to come with me, right? Great, I'll go find my little magic brother by myself!"

With that, Xia Guan Guan, alone, walked out of the safe zone, spinning and humming a tune as she went.

Almost the instant she stepped out,

Whoosh!

A stone spear flew over and directly pierced Xia Guan Guan's head. The stone spear entered through her right eye socket, penetrated her skull, and was firmly pinned to the ground, blood splattering everywhere!!!

Xia Guan Guan died with her eyes wide open.
