After discussing the matter of joining the Supernatural United Bureau.
Xu Xi did not leave immediately.
Instead, he stayed in the director's office to continue conversing with Zhang Yaoguo, learning more about supernatural beings and the Spiritual Energy Revival.
In this regard, as the director of the Supernatural United Bureau's branch, Zhang Yaoguo undoubtedly knew more than Xu Xi.
"The Spiritual Energy Revival, huh?"
Sunlight streamed into the office.
Landing on the middle-aged man's face, casting a hint of melancholy.
Zhang Yaoguo sighed deeply: "Xu Xi, how much do you know about the Great Cataclysm five years ago?"
Xu Xi shook his head: "I don't know much. I only know that overnight, many supernatural creatures appeared, causing significant destruction worldwide."
"I was one of the survivors of that time. If not for a stroke of luck, I wouldn't be sitting here today."
Director Zhang looked surprised: "I didn't expect you to have such an experience, Xu Xi. It's truly a case of surviving a great disaster bringing good fortune. No wonder you were able to obtain the inheritance of a cultivator."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"Most people's understanding of the Great Cataclysm is similar to yours. They only know that many supernatural creatures appeared and that people gradually began to awaken as supernatural beings."
"The existence that was once only in fantasy suddenly became a reality. This is indeed quite incredible."
"That's why most people refer to this new era as the Spiritual Energy Revival."
"However—"
"The term 'revival' is somewhat inaccurate," Zhang Yaoguo's face showed a bitter smile, "Those things, those abilities, were never originally from Earth."
"Rather than a revival or awakening, it's more like an invasion."
"Cultivation, magic, martial arts, fantasy, and even more inconceivable existences have all appeared on Earth at once."
Invasion?
Listening to Zhang Yaoguo's explanation, Xu Xi frowned slightly.
He had imagined many truths, but the words from Zhang Yaoguo still shocked him.
"Director Zhang, are you saying that those supernatural creatures are actively invading us?"
"Not necessarily about that," Zhang Yaoguo answered Xu Xi's question after carefully choosing his words, "In actions I've participated in the past, I've encountered some supernatural creatures that could communicate, and even humans from other worlds."
"They seemed just as confused as we are about why they ended up on Earth."
"Moreover, not only supernatural creatures have appeared on Earth, but also other things, such as large tracts of new terrain, entirely new species, and abundant supernatural resources."
"The Supernatural United Bureau's growth to its current scale owes much to these otherworldly products."
At this point, the man in front of Xu Xi had a complex expression.
On one hand, he resented the invasion from other worlds, which had altered the Earth he once knew.
On the other hand, he was genuinely happy that, with the help of these supernatural powers, his homeland had embarked on a path to an even more prosperous future.
Finally, Zhang Yaoguo concluded:
"Whether it's an invasion or a revival."
"It doesn't matter much to us, and there's nothing we can do to change it."
"All we can do is try to enhance our own strength to avoid being caught off guard by sudden supernatural disasters, both for ourselves and for others."
Xu Xi agreed deeply, fully endorsing Director Zhang's perspective.
"Thank you for the explanation. I've learned a lot today."
Having obtained the information he wanted,
Xu Xi stood up to take his leave.
Now that he had learned the truth about the Spiritual Energy Revival and successfully joined the Supernatural United Bureau, he had many things he wanted to do.
Director Zhang warmly saw Xu Xi off at the door and arranged for a staff member to act as Xu Xi's guide, helping him familiarize himself with the internal structure of the Supernatural United Bureau.
For instance,
there was a storage room specifically for storing items purchased from Supernatural Home.
Considering that most items from Supernatural Home were harmful to ordinary people, all purchased items were sent to the local Supernatural United Bureau.
They were then picked up personally by the purchaser.
Besides,
To help newcomers who had just embarked on the path of the supernatural to master their powers, the Supernatural United Bureau offered various Supernatural Courses. Of course, these were completely unnecessary for Xu Xi.
After a brief tour of the Supernatural United Bureau and getting a general idea of the locations of each department, Xu Xi walked out of the bureau's main entrance.
As he walked towards home,
he glanced at his phone.
"Although Supernatural Home is an internal trading network of the Supernatural United Bureau,"
"it can be used anywhere."
"Buying and selling, searching for information, accepting missions—all of these can be done from home, which is much more convenient than I expected."
Looking at the phone activated and bound by the Supernatural United Bureau,
Xu Xi was quite satisfied.
This way, he wouldn't have to frequently shuttle between his home and the Supernatural United Bureau.
"However, I never expected that the so-called Spiritual Energy Revival is actually an invasion from other worlds, and it's happening simultaneously across multiple worlds."
"At this rate, perhaps Earth will merge with other worlds?"
Xu Xi pondered this, somewhat lost in thought.
But soon, he chuckled at himself.
Even if it were as he imagined, what could he do about it?
He was merely a fortunate individual with a simulator, pitifully weak and helpless, unable to do anything.
There was no way this so-called Spiritual Energy Revival had anything to do with him, right?
Such a thing was obviously impossible!
"Anyway, I should head home now. There are many useful items in the storage ring Zhang Yaoguo gave me. It's a good opportunity to enhance my combat capabilities."
"After stabilizing my strength, I can use the Supernatural United Bureau's intelligence channels to slowly gather anchor media for my next simulation."
Thinking this,
Xu Xi quickened his pace slightly.
"Drip—drop—" However, his luck wasn't great. Just as he left the Supernatural United Bureau, the sky quickly darkened, and raindrops began to fall.
The fine rain was like silk, the mist like vapor.
The previously scorching hot pavement rapidly cooled, splashing with water droplets.
Xu Xi could feel the moistness in his nose.
He originally planned to use his spiritual energy to create a barrier and walk home without getting wet, but after a moment's thought, he turned and entered a department store, buying a new umbrella.
He opened the umbrella and continued walking home.
The raindrops hitting the umbrella's surface made crisp 'dong dong' sounds.
Xu Xi quite enjoyed this sound.
Like a dream, like a fantasy, like a lullaby.
"Come to think of it, the last time I walked like this with an umbrella in the real world was already five years ago."
"Time really flies. I've been in a wheelchair for five years."
Xu Xi sighed, suddenly feeling a wetness on his left shoulder. He adjusted the umbrella in his right hand slightly to the left.
But not long after,
large raindrops once again hit his left shoulder.
It was then that Xu Xi realized that when holding the umbrella, he would unconsciously tilt it to the right, as if trying to shield an invisible figure from the rain.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Xu Xi no longer corrected his posture.
He continued walking forward with the umbrella, maintaining this somewhat strange posture in the eyes of others.
Allowing his left shoulder to get wet.
Xu Xi knew that he wouldn't be able to change this habit anytime soon, nor did he intend to. If asked why, perhaps it was because he was hoping for a miracle that would never happen.
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
