Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Xu Ruoguang pried open his palm and turned his head around, trying to find the source of his familiarity.

When his gaze shifted to a silvery-grey object, Xu Ruoguang was suddenly taken aback, "..."

The silvery-grey object was... a statue.

That person... looked exactly like the statue?

"Is there some kind of cosplay event today?" Xu Ruoguang asked, dumbfounded.

In Xu Ruoguang's understanding, only those historical figures who had made extraordinary contributions were worthy of being immortalized with statues for people to revere.

Such people... generally aren't alive, right?

"Huh?" Kuang Xin followed Xu Ruoguang's gaze and naturally replied without a second thought, "Of course, there's no cosplay expo... Isn't that Aristotle himself? What, have you been living in Mingguang City for over a decade and never seen him?"

"Should I have seen him?"

"Shouldn't you have seen him?"

"..."

"..."

"Stop looking, stop looking..." Kuang Xin took it as the self-restraint of a hard-core homebody, grabbed Xu Ruoguang's arm, and started running forward, "Come on, I heard that another 'relic' was unearthed today, let's go check out the scene."

"What 'relic'? I'm not interested." The soft objection clearly couldn't overcome Kuang Xin's enthusiasm, and Xu Ruoguang was involuntarily pulled along and rushed forward.

Not only was Kuang Xin a handsome, muscular giant in the game, but in the real... world, he was also a tough, handsome man more than 1.8 meters tall.

The subway connected all places, and after taking Xu Ruoguang on two subway rides, and traveling for more than fifty minutes, they finally reached the other end of the city.

Like a museum's vast exhibition hall, the crowd was steady, and those who received the news and were interested converged from all parts of the city.

Following the crowd into the exhibition hall, Kuang Xin pulled Xu Ruoguang expertly toward a certain direction.

All the cameras, big and small, were aimed in one direction, where an old man with white hair, looking somewhat perplexed and dressed in a black classical suit, sat in his place, his gaze inquisitive yet cautious as he surveyed everything before him.

"Sir, welcome back." The host sitting opposite the old man, also dressed in a black suit and wearing a small earpiece, smiled as he began his opening speech, "This is a brand-new era, sir. Thanks to your relentless efforts in the past, we are now living in the most glorious of times. Welcome to waking up in the new world, this is the 137th year of the Golden Age... Mr. Einstein."

The white-haired old man's eyes showed rare confusion, but knowledge about this era's basic facts kept emerging in his mind after waking up and gradually occupied his will.

This was a golden age... where there were no more wars, no more poverty.

There were no longer national divides, as humanity united completely for the first time.

Talents from all over the world, from the past and the future...from all fields and races, were working in various domains for the future of mankind.

Humanity looked down proudly at everything, with the whole world prostrated at humanity's feet.

Only the distant space was the sole destination for mankind's future.

What kind of era was this?

Filled with miracles... even the deceased could be resurrected, miracles had become commonplace.

Xu Ruoguang below the stage stared with wide eyes, utterly unable to believe what he was seeing.

Kuang Xin, who occasionally glanced at Xu Ruoguang's profile, was less concerned with what was happening on stage. After all, he had seen similar scenes too many times before. Instead, he was more interested in the hardcore homebody beside him.

"What? Is this your first time at the scene?"

"No..." Xu Ruoguang shook his head blankly.

This wasn't my first time at the scene, but it was the first time I learned that such things existed in this world.

Was it because the past me held a distance from this world, or because the past me lived so obliviously that I had failed to notice such astonishing phenomena? Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

The resurrection of the dead, this is a forbidden spell.

No! Where did this rigid view of mine come from?

The fact had already happened before my eyes, from where did I get the impression that this phenomenon should be surprising?

Everyone present… they all seemed to take it for granted, no one questioned it. They were calmly admiring the figures who had stepped out of historical records, quietly appreciating the beauty of this temporal anomaly.

It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that Kuang Xin pulled me away from the exhibition hall, and I recovered some sanity under the sunlit sky outside.

"How is this done?" Xu Ruoguang asked.

He knew he could look it up online, but having an acquainted friend right by his side to ask would obviously yield a more detailed understanding.

"I don't know~" Kuang Xin said with a pair of bewildered eyes, "I'm not one of those scientists... But I've seen some news occasionally. The scholars believe we are in a special temporal singularity, where the river of time occasionally stirs up ripples and brings people from epochs not belonging to our own to this place. In fact, people we've never heard of or even from the so-called 'future' frequently appear. Their identities and backgrounds vary, and they aren't necessarily directly connected to our past or future. Whenever such individuals appear, it becomes one of the scholars' favorite topics to dig through various fragmented pieces of information to assemble background data on the eras they come from."

"...Oh~"

During the conversation, another solemn interview scene appeared on the supersized screen outside the skyscraper across the square.

The woman presenter, graceful and stunning in a white suit uniform, excitedly stretched her hand toward the camera and introduced, "This is the plaza of the Human Federation's upper council, and just now, the results of the election for the new Great Chief Executive of the Human Federation have been announced. The new Great Chief Executive will be Mr. Kevin, who hasn't been very high-profile before and only became politically active recently. It's said that Mr. Kevin also comes from the tunnels of time, hailing from an era of war, and it's unknown how this past experience will influence his governance philosophy."

As she spoke, a colorful crowd emerged densely on the steps behind her.

At the back of the crowd, there was a group of people being escorted outward.

"Oh~ Our new Great Chief Executive has come out, let's go interview this great leader who may still be unfamiliar to everyone and see where the path of our Human Federation will head..."

With the target group's appearance, the camera showed that many journalists, like the woman presenter, immediately gathered around.

"Mr. Kevin..."

"Mr. Kevin may I ask..."

"Mr. Kevin!"

"Mr. Kevin!" The woman presenter in the white suit took the forefront, squeezing in the lead, her mouth moving quickly and clearly as she rapidly fired off a string of words, "First of all, congratulations on being elected as the Great Chief Executive of our term; could you share with us your future plans for the Federal Government?"

Kevin, dressed in a well-fitted naval officer uniform, looked at the camera with a smile on his face, yet maintained a solemn tone, "Playing 'aircraft'."

"..."

For a moment, the presenter's face stiffened, but she quickly followed up, "Do you think our future..."

"The future will surely belong to the skies!" Kevin pointed to the horizon, beyond the azure sky was a vast interstellar wilderness, "Fighter jets soaring through the sky, only the finest warriors can lay the foundation for the empire's victory."

Empire? The empire is an all too distant past.

Now is the era of the Federal Government.

But nobody had the time to care about this small grammatical error from the new Great Chief Executive; they were more interested in the future direction, "Chief Executive, do you think there is a possibility of restarting a war in the future? Where is the enemy?"

"Do you believe the Federal Government will ultimately splinter?"

"Has the government discovered extraterrestrial forces in the universe?"

Kevin's words were like a boulder thrown into a pond, creating lively ripples.

He just pursed his lips, smiling, "Starting from tomorrow, a game called 'Raiden' involving the control of fighter jets will be released across all platforms. I require that within two years, everyone must clear it once!"
