"I actually traveled through time..."

A messy room.

Chu Mo absorbed all the memories in his mind and couldn't help but sigh.

He is not from this world, but from Earth.

In 2050, an asteroid impact hit the Earth, simultaneously spreading a mysterious virus that infected the vast majority of humanity, turning them into zombies. The once-proud human civilization collapsed in an instant.

Zombies roam, order collapses.

And Chu Mo, on the fifth year of the zombie outbreak, fell in battle with a horde of zombies.

The scene of the overwhelming horde of zombies swarming and biting him in his final moments is still vivid in my mind.

He could even clearly recall the pain of being bitten when the zombies tore into him.

"Fortunately..."

"I'm still alive!"

Lowering his head and looking at this, Chu Mo felt genuine joy.

Through memory, I know this is the year of a namesake.

However, this world is far more dangerous than a zombie-apocalypse Earth.

In the year 2200 of the Azure Star Era, space ruptures appeared all over the globe, from which countless powerful beasts emerged.

Faced with these anomalies, humanity planned to use nuclear weapons, but they discovered a divine essence in the air. This essence was capable of destroying electronic devices, rendering powerful strategic weapons ineffective.

Humans can only rely on the most basic martial arts to resist.

But how can this be considered a formidable opponent?

Powerful anomalies can incinerate mountains and boil seas, being incredibly resilient. Bullets simply wouldn't be effective against them.

For a while.

I don't know how many human cities have been washed away.

However.

Over time, some humans discovered they could absorb the ambient aether from the air, thereby transforming themselves and gaining extraordinary power.

Such a discovery immediately filled humankind with joy.

After tireless research by human scientists, they finally figured out the mystery and named it "Yuan Qi"——

Absorbing vital energy allows humans to break free from limitations and wield extraordinary power!

And such a person is called a martial artist!

That's all.

Not everyone can absorb Qi.

To embark on the path of a warrior, one must possess talent. The higher the talent, the greater the future potential and ceiling!

Without talent, one can only be an ordinary person for their entire life.

But even so, relying on the awakened talents of some people, humanity gradually grew stronger, confronting the threat, and in the wasteland, they built survival bases one by one.

"What a world, both unfortunate and fortunate!"

Chu Mo said softly.

In his world, facing the zombie apocalypse, humans did not awaken any extraordinary abilities. Facing terrifying zombies, individual strength was extremely insignificant.

In comparison, this world is much luckier.

Just...

"This, there is no talent at all!"

Chu Mo lowered his head, looking at his delicate palm, a solemn expression on his face.

<>

Humans can only survive by relying on warriors.

Even those with the lowest aptitude can embark on the path of a warrior.

But without any talent, in such a time, there is no doubt that he wouldn't even have the right to survive.

And the original owner was because he knew himself without cultivation talent, so he gave up on himself and eventually died.

This allowed Chu Mo to take possession of it.

Click!

Just as Chu Mo was reminiscing about his memories, suddenly the sound of a door opening rang out.

A graceful figure then pushed open the door and entered.

Around seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and graceful. With a beautiful face, long black hair cascading down her shoulders, she was strikingly elegant. However, the only flaw was that her aura was somewhat cold.

Upon seeing Chu Mo, he simply said indifferently, "I'm back."

Then he put everything in his hand on the table, and returned to his room.

During this period.

He didn't say anything else to Chu Mo, not even glance at him.

Closing the door to his room, Chu Mo felt a little surprised.

But immediately, a memory came to mind.

Chen Xiwu.

He is the son of a friend of the original owner, Chu Mo's parents.

Both were martial artists who forged a deep bond after one occasion, maintaining their friendship. Their relationship was so good that even when Chu Mo and Chen Ximi were only two or three years old, they had already been betrothed.

It was just two years ago.

Chen Xiwei's parents invited the original owner's parents on an outdoor adventure, but they both died.

Such a huge blow instantly left the original owner unable to cope.

This led him to believe that Chen Ximi's parents were responsible for the death of his own parents, and even harbored resentment towards Chen Ximi himself.

Such hostility seems somewhat unfounded.

Furthermore, in the memories Chu Mo received, since both their parents had perished, Chen Xiwei moved into Chu Mo's home to take care of him, even tending to his daily needs.

More importantly, even when Chu Mo was found to have no cultivation talent, while Chen Ximi possessed excellent martial arts aptitude, he still did not give up.

Even to allow Chu Mo to possess cultivation talent, he risked great danger many times venturing out of the base to hunt ferocious beasts, hoping to find a way for Chu Mo to change his talent.

Every time he returned, he would bring back the ferocious beasts he had painstakingly hunted and force Chu Mo to eat them, hoping that it could subtly improve his quality.

Even if it's still not possible to cultivate in the end, at least it's better than the average person's strength.

But unfortunately.

But the original owner never claimed it.

He even verbally abused Chen Xiwu on multiple occasions, calling her the murderer of his parents and expressing extreme hatred towards her.

This led to the situation where, despite living together, the two did not make any real progress in their relationship, and instead, their connection became increasingly strained.

"Not knowing one's blessings while in fortune..."

Remembering the complete memory, Chu Mo sighed with emotion in his heart.

He came from the apocalyptic wasteland of the future, so naturally he understood how deeply meaningful it was to stand by each other in such an environment.

Especially Chen Xiwei, not only was she peerlessly beautiful, but her cultivation talent was also exceptional. She was almost like heaven and earth apart from the original owner.

Of course.

As an observer, he has no right to comment on other people's lives.

But...

"Since I have taken your place, from now on, I am Chu Mo!"

"I will take your place and live well!"

He thought silently to himself.

Although this doesn't have any cultivation talent, life always has to go on.

Anyway, it's still good to live another life.

Chu Mo felt a little hungry in his stomach, so he planned to cook some food.

That's all.

When his gaze swept over the corpse that Chen Xi had brought back from a previous mission, it suddenly stopped.

His pupils contracted sharply.

Under his gaze.

Only a faint line of ghostly writing appeared on the corpse before him:

Goal: Rank 1 Medium Purple Thunder Weasel!

[Harvestable!]

【Should we proceed with the collection?】
