[Do you want to understand the meaning of your life? Do you really want to be alive?]
Within a small warm room, just as Li Yunmu had turned on his computer, this line suddenly popped up in front of him.
"Huh….."
Isn’t this the marketing strategy for that game ‘Darkness of Mankind’? Countless people have already milked it previously. Now, which idiot wants to use this to attract people's attention?
Li Yunmu clearly knew that regardless of whether he chooses yes or no, the result would be the same, that he would be falling into the trap of another person.
Perhaps the computer would exit to some promotion link of the game or perhaps some trojan horse would enter the computer, causing it to crash.
Moreover, Li Yunmu was an extremely bored person. He neither wants to know the meaning of life nor worries about what was meant by really being alive. In any case, as an ordinary person born in an ordinary place, there was no need for him to learn the meaning of life.
Speaking frankly, with his family, his genes, his background, his heritage, he was basically bound to be an ordinary person from the moment he was born.
Without any unexpected accidents, his later generations were also doomed to be ordinary, unless some miracle occurred!
"Since you have worked so hard for this master, I will play with you a little."
Thus, even if Li Yunmu knew that he shouldn’t be fooled, the most important thing was…..he was senselessly bored, so he lightly clicked on it. As soon as he clicked on it, the scene on his computer screen quickly changed.
[Do you want to obtain the skills to surpass others? Do you want to realize the true essence of life? Do you want to stand at the peak of this cosmos? If you want to, then drop your blood to bind this system…..]
When the outdated, broken, small loudspeaker of the computer said this in its enticing voice as always, Li Yunmu almost puffed blood on his computer screen.
"Lying bastard, who is trying to prank me, does he believe that I have no brain?"
This time, Li Yunmu’s excitement was stirred up.
"Interesting, interesting, this has some creativity, this has taken mischievousness to new heights, but who will be so foolish as to really cut their fingertip and drop blood on the computer display?"
But regardless of whatever was said, Li Yunmu’s next movement fully reflected how ‘busy’ he was. He was so extraordinarily free that being free had also become a pain in his ass.
He laughed mischievously and lightly peeled open the wound on his thumb, which seemed fine after observing it carefully. This small wound had been cut in the morning while slicing a fruit and it still had some semi-condensed blood.
Immediately without thinking, he raised the thumb’s wound and lightly pressed it on the strange icon that had appeared on the screen. The outcome was seen within a flash, his whole screen was filled with golden lights.
[Congratulations, you have successfully bound the Supreme Shadow Hack System, you are currently the only binder of the system.]
[Ding, detecting a huge disparity between world’s information and system’s data, the system cannot provide a map for practising, the system will import the real world map and update the data.]
[Magic Beast Abyss, Barbarian Ox Cave, Devil Spirit’s Well, Nine Dragon Slope, Deep Tiger Gorge, Moonlight City, Witch Subduing Pagoda, Restricted Area of Hell, Heavenly Sanctuary, Ancient Road, Beyond The Heavens Sword Mound…...and so on, the hack map is now deleted, the system has begun to enter the information based on the current world data and produce an all-new map... Please be patient.]
"Oh?"
This slightly stunned Li Yunmu, what Supreme Shadow Hack System? What the hell is this? This seems like a cheating software to level up, wasn't it supposed to be outdated?
Nowadays, who still plays such a game where one increases one’s levels on computer? If his financial situation had been any better, he would have already purchased the Dimension Helmet and entered the virtual world to pass the time.
Could it be that this broken computer was a genuine product of the dark era? Once he thought of this, Li Yunmu’s heart burst with joy!
He had just bought this computer yesterday from the ‘Antique Street’. It was just an outdated product, so the price he had to pay was also only 13 Fourth-Dimensional coins.
But Li Yunmu clearly knew that even though it seemed like a genuine antique, in reality, it was just some cheap imitation made by some dishonest dealer. After all, if it really was an old product from dark era then why would it be sold for some measly Fourth-Dimensional coins?
A genuine computer from the dark era would certainly have a starting price of Fifth-Dimensional coins, how could such a commoner like himself have the qualifications to access the Alliance's Fifth-Dimensional coins?
After few minutes, a ‘ding’ sound came from the system, transmitting a commanding notification which caused Li Yunmu to become serious:
[System had been upgraded, does host wants to use Shadow Hack and level up?]
"Yes."
Li Yunmu was full of expectations, he excitedly observed for a moment. Soon after, he decided on a training location and clicked on it to confirm.
[You have selected a high-level region, the "Forbidden Countryside Region" as the training location. Since you have selected a high-grade map, with your low-level strength comparable to dregs, there is no doubt that you will get rekt, so the system proposes that you choose a low-level region "District Garden" as a training location, do you wish to accept it?]
Just as the computer beeped, Li Yunmu was thoroughly dumbfounded, this hack map area can really take away someone’s life, wasn’t it supposed to just be a prank from the beginning? You gotta be kidding me!
"District Garden?"
What is this, could it be that this District Garden also has some monster in it? While regretting that he even couldn’t pick the choice that he desired, he callously clicked on it to confirm.
[Supreme Shadow activated, training location is "District Garden", monster bots classification---- Grade One ant, Grade One flea, Grade Two ladybug, Grade Three caterpillar, Grade Three moth, Grade Three honey bee, Grade Three butterfly, Grade Five spider. Warning: Avoid dimensional and mutant insects as much as possible.....]
*Pop*
Li Yunmu looked at the warning which had popped up on the screen and was once again almost on the verge of puffing blood:
"This, this is the game of the dark era’s elders? The monsters are all ants, honey bees, this kind of insects?"
It had to be said that at this moment, Li Yunmu felt quite sorrowful for the elders from the Darkness Era, the quality of their entertainment was quite worrying.
But in the next moment, he cried out in fear when under his attentive gaze, his shadow suddenly came to life.
Materialization?
Yes, the shadow formed from light had suddenly come alive, it then shrunk to the size of one centimeter. Under Li Yunmu’s shocked gaze, this little shadow started to walk slowly, gradually speeding up...….
*Xiu*
Then it ran out of the bedroom, not getting obstructed when passing through the room, then the hallway. After it crossed thirty-six floors, it finally arrived at the district garden downstairs; it went under the grass and immediately began to look for monsters, at this moment, a series of characters and sounds began to appear on computer screen.
[Automatically entered hack map.... automatically began to search for monsters…..found Grade One ant.... Super Shadow Monster Killing Mode, engaged…..]
At this point, Li Yunmu’s figure became lifeless!

Unbelievable! Even if he was stupid, at this moment, he clearly realized that he had stumbled upon some kind of miracle.
"Oh my god, is this game supposed to be like this? This is not a dream, is this real ahh...…"
Li Yunmu’s widely opened eyes were fixed on the screen, where the shadow could be seen among the grass, encountering an "enormous" ant. The shadow raised its fist and attacked it ferociously.
[You have attacked the ant with your full strength, causing it 7 points of damage, but because your strength is too weak, it could only cause a minor injury to the ant.]
[Your leg has kicked the ant’s head, because of attacking its weak point, the ant has suffered 26 points of damage, causing serious damage to the ant.]
[The ant has begun its counterattack after entering a near-death state. Lifting its pincers, it crushed your right arm, resulting in you losing most of your military strength.]
[You bellowed in pain and launched a kick. Because you were extremely angry, this kick has caused 'furious strike', causing the ant 19 points of damage, the ant has been killed by you.]
[Congratulations, you have successfully killed the ant. You have gained 1 experience point and 1 ability point, but you have also caught the attention of the ant colony, beware of their revenge.]
"Damn!"
Li Yunmu was astonished.
The ant was dead! It had really been killed by his shadow!
It must be known that this was only one ant from the real world. Even though it was minute, it was still a life, was this really only a hack system, only a software?
Li Yunmu was filled with excitement and suspicion.
But regardless of whatever he felt, the hack system still continued its work. Not long had passed, when the shadow in the dense "grass forest", encountered yet another ant. However, this time there were no surprises and the shadow which had already lost its right arm got killed immediately by the second ant.
When the shadow was crushed, it transformed into countless black dots and passed through all obstructions from the lawn downstairs as it returned back inside Li Yunmu’s body.
Another message popped up on the screen:
[Shadow has died. After ten minutes, your shadow will resurrect and continue to advance automatically in the hack system. You still have two more chances of resurrection for today, please cherish them.]
[Reminder, the system has detected some kind of strength inside your body, do you want to use your current experience points to awaken it?]
"Yes."
Li Yunmu didn’t think too much about it. He was already dizzy from the big meat pie that had fallen into his lap, so he subconsciously agreed. Within an instant, he sensed a kind of warmth in his body, traces of heat collected in his chest from his four limbs and hundreds of bones, a kind of strength seemed to come forth from deep inside.
"How is it possible? Is this flux energy? This sensation seems like the first sign of flux energy awakening!"
Ahh flux energy, an ordinary person would forever remain unfamiliar with these words, because these words represent strength in current new dimension era.
It represents the wide gap between ordinary people and those who have this innate talent. However, this wide gap was like a great wall which ordinary people could never ever scale over.
It was rumored that in the year 2020 AD, a huge shooting star had crashed into the earth from outer space.
This shooting star from the space was precisely the one known as "Dimensional Shooting Star" to the later generations. It was responsible for the transformation to humankind to the current new age.
At that time, when the Dimensional Shooting Star crashed into the earth, in a flash, the earth’s entire continental structure was shattered. A large number of countries and countless people perished because of it.
Of the earth’s entire population of 7.6 billion at that time, only several hundred million had survived. The rest were wiped out in a flash.
But that was only the beginning of bad things to come. Within three days after the Dimensional Stone had descended, large amounts of mighty higher dimensional energy spread over the entire earth, filling each and every nook and cranny of the earth.
Once the dimensional energy appeared, its influence did not only stop at people. Animals, insects, plants, fishes, even including the entire human race, all of them started to evolve.
In just one night, all the wild animals transformed and became more formidable. Humanity’s machine guns and artillery shells couldn’t rival them anymore. The human race was no longer the most dominant race on earth.
In less than three months, most of humanity’s armies were destroyed. The entire human race sunk into great despair because of the threat of annihilation and it could only depend on the troops stationed in the major cities to defend them till death. This was humanity’s first time losing the territories outside of major cities. Vast stretches of land turned into the backyard of mutant beasts and dimensional beasts.
That year would be famously known as the first year of dark ages to the later generations. From then on, humanity’s era entered into the abyss.
After the continental structure shattered, only six continents remained. Humanity kept struggling at death’s door for the first three years of the dark ages. When the first of humankind finally experienced the three year long evolution and began to awaken the flux energy, only then did a ray of hope dawned on humanity.
From then on, the human race turned into a civilization which placed flux energy cultivation above all else, compared to science and technology from before. After 227 years of great efforts by the elders, humanity once again regained the position of earth’s master. They fought with dimensional beasts and mutant beasts and managed to reclaim more stretches of land for survival, finally establishing the new dimensional age, bidding farewell to the dark ages.
At the same time, on one day, the six continents formally established a grand alliance, known as the Humankind Alliance. The continents were the Central Continent, Northern Ocean Continent, Southern Pole Continent, Holy Continent, Desolate Continent and Higher Dimensional Continent. These continents constituted humanity’s remanent forces.
The Central Continent was where Li Yunmu was currently living. It was formed from the majority of the former Chinese nationals and several countries at the periphery of Asia. In terms of influence among the six continents, it was considered the most formidable.
Next in the Alliance was the Holy Continent, which was dominated by the Vatican authority of religion from before the dark ages. Formed by gathering several powers from Western Europe, its strength was only second to the Central Continent. It was rumored that this Holy Continent, that was formed on the firm belief in religion, also had another mysterious power apart from flux energy.
Next in terms of strength were the Desolate Continent and the Higher Dimensional Continent, which had the weakest influence in the Alliance. Especially the Higher Dimensional Continent, it was the most severely impacted continent when the Dimensional Shooting Stars crashed into the earth. Even today, the Higher Dimensional Continent still produces a constant stream of large numbers of dimensional monsters. As for the people of this continent, rather than saying they were a force of humanity, it would not be wrong to say they were just leading an ignoble existence.
Thus, in the new dimensional age, the genuine forces of humanity were only the four continents, the Central Continent, Northern Ocean Continent, Southern Pole Continent and Holy Continent. But if you must include the pathetic survivors of Higher Dimensional Continent and Desolate Continent, then that would make up the six continents in the Alliance.
Naturally, the bitter historical experiences of these continents all digressed from one another.
But it cannot be denied that flux energy was very significant for humanity as it provided humanity formidable strength. Therefore, only the people who could use flux energy were considered genuinely superior existence.
These people who could use flux energy would receive the best treatment in every continent. They had the best lives, the most spacious houses. They enjoyed the best which humanity had to offer, enjoying the least contaminated food and were at the top of humanity’s hierarchy. Everything they got was simply not something that an ordinary people could hope to receive.
