Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Giant of Light Author: Virtual Life
Summary:
Lu Yunhe inexplicably transmigrated to Earth in the world of Swallowing the Stars, during the Great Nirvana period, which was the most dangerous time for Earthlings. Just when he was trying to survive until Lord Luo rose to power and latch onto him, he unexpectedly awakened his cheat ability—the Clone Compendium. He could obtain a clone every time he broke through a major realm.
The infinitely evolving Leaf Rot, the universe-devouring Bashumon, the master of chaos Grimd...
Above these terrifying monsters stands the legendary Giant of Light...
(This is a fan fiction based on Swallowed Star, starting from the Great Nirvana storyline, and does not steal Luo Feng's opportunities.)
Chapter 1 Catastrophe
On May 15, 2018, the May sunshine gradually became gentle, but a chill still lingered in my heart.
Longcheng 13th Resettlement Area.
On a warm street, a muscular man was walking aimlessly, squinting in the bright sunlight as he enjoyed a rare sunbath.
"Sigh, when will I be able to break through to become a martial artist? Five years have passed since the Great Nirvana, and I still can't see any hope. I hope I won't even live to see Lord Luo rise to power."
Lu Yunhe looked up at the sun high in the sky and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He was reborn, still in the world of Swallowed Star. It should have been a mix of two joys, but Lu Yunhe just couldn't be happy because he was reborn too early.
She awakened her past life memories in childhood, believing it to be an ordinary urban world. Although she didn't have any cheat codes, she could still ride the coattails of her past life's memories and, if not become extremely wealthy, at least become a tycoon who wouldn't have to worry about small sums of money.
Lu Yunhe was content with this and had no great ambitions.
But in 13, a sudden virus shattered his dream.
When the R virus first appeared, Lu Yunhe didn't pay much attention to it, only feeling that it was somewhat familiar. But the moment the RR virus appeared, he completely understood that he had transmigrated to that world.
Swallow the Stars!
Well, when Lu Yunhe realized he was in the Swallowed Star world, he was quite happy.
Earth is safe, and Lord Luo is awesome.
Doing absolutely nothing, you can ride the coattails of the plot to reach the planetary level within a few years of the story's start, gaining a lifespan of over a thousand years. As long as you befriend Luo Feng, achieving immortality and living as long as the universe later on won't be difficult.
Even though Earth experienced several crises during this period, the impact on Earthlings was not significant, and Luo Feng quickly resolved them.
The future is bright, but unfortunately, Lu Yunhe is currently at a stage that is still decades away from the start of the story, and it's hard to say whether he will even live to see Luo Feng's birth.
The Great Nirvana was the most dangerous period for all of humanity, and also one of the most important turning points for the entire Earth.
In the early 21st century, several viral influenza outbreaks occurred, and after more than a decade of continuous mutation, they eventually formed the RR virus, which has an astonishingly high mortality rate of nearly 30% and can even spread through the air, which is simply unscientific.
The only saving grace is that the physical limits of the surviving human beings were also broken; almost everyone's strength, speed, cell activity, and skin toughness more than doubled. Even an ordinary person could easily break past world championship records in weightlifting and the 100-meter dash.
However, just as human physical fitness has improved, so too have the creatures in nature.
In the ordinary world, this would be one thing, but human firearms are no match for it.
However, in the world of Swallowed Star, the universe is filled with endless primal energy, waiting for any life form that meets the standards to absorb it and use it to evolve itself.
Even if the physical capabilities of humans were doubled, they would still be far from this standard. But animals, which were already physically strong, could easily reach the standard with the help of the RR virus, absorbing the omnipresent cosmic energy.
Then, in a short time, they completed the evolution of life, their bodies strengthened to be impervious to bullets and artillery fire, their intelligence increased to the point of command and cooperation... In an instant, they overtook and caught up with humanity's development of tens of thousands of years. (However, this path is actually the right path for this world.)
Until September 2015, starting with an attack by endless creatures in the ocean, countless birds and beasts transformed into monsters began to attack human settlements, igniting a war between humans and monsters, and plunging the entire world into total war.
At the beginning of the war, Lu Yunhe still held some expectations, but unfortunately he didn't have any cheat codes or high physical talent. Faced with one war after another, he could only go with the flow and blend into the masses, becoming inconspicuous.
"Compared to those who have died, at least I am still alive."
Three years have passed since the start of the total war. The prolonged high-pressure environment has washed away Lu Yunhe's inner restlessness and the pride hidden deep within him as a transmigrator, allowing him to truly integrate into this world.
"The eight-year great rebirth will be over in three years. Just hang in there a little longer."
Lu Yunhe comforted himself inwardly, and this thought reminded him of some war movies from his past life, causing a barely perceptible smile to appear on his face.
Di di di
Just then, Lu Yunhe's communicator rang: "Brother Lu, a worker on the No. 9 bullet production line has collapsed due to heatstroke. Please arrange for someone to take over immediately."
A hurried voice rang out, then hung up just as quickly.
"But I need to be able to find people first! There's no shortage of people anywhere!"
Lu Yunhe shook his head helplessly, trying hard to think of a place where someone could be transferred to fill the vacancy.
That's right, at this time Lu Yunhe is the manager of this area, responsible for the allocation of materials and the safety of residents in this area.
After five years of training, Lu Yunhe's physical strength has reached about 800 kilograms, and with one more step, he can become a quasi-martial artist.
Therefore, under the unified deployment of the military, Lu Yunhe was placed in a relatively safe protected area.
Five years have passed since the Great Nirvana, and some martial artists have become war gods, possessing terrifying strength of tens or even hundreds of tons, capable of playing a crucial role in a small-scale war.
However, for most basic martial artists, their status and role are rather awkward.
Because the army has always been the one truly facing the front lines, even at the beginning of the story.
Without sufficient logistical support and field bases, these low-level martial artists would be devoured by monsters the moment they dared to leave the army, not to mention the lack of weapons and equipment for the martial artists.
Therefore, the main role of formal martial artists now is to cooperate with the troops to provide support and deal with isolated or suddenly appearing monsters.
Lu Yunhe and other near-martial artists are primarily responsible for the safety of the people in the protected area, as well as some management work.
In such a life-or-death crisis, it would be a waste to divert a large number of people to maintain internal security. But not maintaining order is also not an option, and stable logistics are of paramount importance, not to mention the darker side of humanity.
"It seems we have no choice but to send Lao Zhou."
Lu Yunhe thought for a moment. There was a shortage of people everywhere, but the bullet production line was obviously more important.
After dealing with the factory issues, the breeding base also came knocking on his door. Some of the pigs had gone berserk, and they urgently needed him, a near-martial artist, to suppress them.
Then, in full view of everyone, Emperor Lu suppressed Tianpeng with one hand.
"Yunhe, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with."
After a tiring day of suppressing the farm, Uncle Zhou, who was in charge of feeding the animals, found Lu Yunhe with a solemn expression and took him aside.
Chapter 2 Plant Crystals
"Yunhe, the animals at the farm have been frequently rioting lately. I think there might be other reasons."
Although the RR virus has made farming extremely difficult, it is still manageable as long as no dominant mutated animal emerges in the breeding area, or any animal grows to "monster" level.
At this critical juncture, Old Zhou didn't keep anyone in suspense and said directly in a low voice, "I suspect it's related to the sycamore tree in the factory."
“I’ve observed the animals that have been running amok during this period, and they all seem to be heading in the direction of this sycamore tree, as if they are longing for something.”
Following Lao Zhou's gaze, Lu Yunhe also saw the sycamore tree, which was as thick as two people could hug and dozens of meters tall, its emerald green leaves shining brightly in the sunlight.
"Yunhe, this phoenix tree is said to be hundreds of years old, before the Great Cataclysm. Do you think it might have mutated as well?"
Old Zhou said worriedly. Although several years have passed since the cataclysm, there have been no examples of plant mutations. Most plants have not changed except for growing better. But who can say for sure what will happen in this world?
"The parasol tree, the tree..."
Looking at the tall tree, Lu Yunhe had some thoughts flashing through his mind, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Lao Zhou, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it right away."
"I hope I'm right..."
Lu Yunhe borrowed several chainsaws and power saws from other factories, distributed them to a few people, and then they all chopped down the strange sycamore tree.
As soon as they started, everyone felt a strong resistance, completely different from the trees they had cut down before.
Sensing something was amiss, the group didn't dare to make a sound and silently quickened their pace.
If ammunition weren't so precious, Lu Yunhe would have even considered borrowing a bomb from the military to deal with the situation.
As the sun gradually shifted, the group, who had been busy for most of the day, finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
"One, two, three... push..."
A deep cut was made on both sides of the tree root, and the tall sycamore tree became unstable.
Then, everyone pushed in one direction together, and like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the entire tall sycamore tree fell down.
When the sycamore tree fell, everyone quickly scattered to avoid being accidentally injured.
Creak... Boom...
Seeing the completely collapsed sycamore tree, Lu Yunhe immediately walked towards the roots, where a faint light instantly caught his eye.
Without hesitation, Lu Yunhe strode forward to the object reflecting the light.
A thumb-sized, emerald-green crystal, somewhat resembling amber, lay quietly in the dust, with wisps of mist flowing within it.
"This is it!"
Lu Yunhe excitedly picked up the crystal and put it in his pocket, taking a deep breath.
Cough cough cough...
Immediately, thick dust was inhaled into his throat, and Lu Yunhe coughed involuntarily.
"It's resolved, no problem!"
Lu Yunhe, with an unchanged expression, greeted the crowd and dismissed them. After giving some instructions to Lao Zhou, he hurriedly returned home.
When I got home, my younger brother, Lu Mingyuan, had already finished school and was cooking.
Even though we've entered the apocalypse, we still have to study. Even if the world ends, we can't escape reading.
Whether humanity can achieve a complete victory in this war between humans and monsters and regain its status as the dominant species on Earth remains to be seen.
However, there is a very high consensus on whether humanity will become extinct. The consensus is that humanity will not be wiped out, and a portion of humanity will continue to survive.
In this way, the transmission of human civilization also becomes important.
Lu Yunhe's younger brother, Lu Mingyuan, was only 14 years old at the time, which was not suitable for any place. The requirements of the modern battlefield were quite high, so he had to be sent to school.
Meanwhile, Lu Yunhe's father, Lu Hong, and mother, Chen Ya, were still working overtime at the factory to produce weapons and ammunition.
"Xiaoming, you can eat with your parents later, don't call me."
