Chapter 1

An uncontrollable sense of weightlessness enveloped Lin Han as he felt his body surrounded by a gust of wind.

He opened his eyes and looked at the ground, which was getting closer and closer. A sense of danger permeated his mind and body, and his expression changed slightly.

A familiar scene from his memory?

Shit!

In an instant, Lin Han instinctively used his arms to protect his head and twisted his body with all his might.

Thud!

Like a frog hitting the ground, a dull sound echoed, and the open space in front of Building 6 of Jianghai University fell silent.

"A student fell from the sky."

"What the hell, someone jumped from the building."

"Ah...!"

Someone shouted, and chaos ensued, with girls screaming and crying.

It was just after class, and many students were passing by the building. Hearing the screams, they ran over to gather around.

"Call an ambulance."

"Students, don't crowd around."

"Is there a medical student here? Come and help."

"..."

The teachers and professors on the scene, after the initial panic, began to take action. Some made phone calls, others maintained order, and medical students were allowed in to provide initial treatment.

In an inconspicuous corner of the comprehensive building, a man and three women were watching where Lin Han had landed.

"Is he dead?"

"Not dead!"

"Coincidence?"

"It might be related to his experiences. His consciousness is special, and that super-dimensional machine was quite interesting. The black hole weapon also disrupted space-time, which could be considered his unique fortune," the man said calmly.

"How high will he go?" a woman beside him asked.

The man shook his head without speaking: "Where do you want to go next?"

"Since we rarely travel to a parallel universe, let's go shopping."

"You're still so shallow!"

The four figures slowly faded away, as if they had never been there.

...

Space-time chaos?

Traveled through time?

Lin Han woke up from his dream, staring blankly at the plain ceiling.

The smell of disinfectant in the air made his brows furrow, and the pain in his arm, thigh, and ribs told him that everything he was seeing was real.

His left hand and left leg were in casts, and his chest was bandaged and immobilized, making him look like a mummy lying in bed, unable to move.

The familiar hospital scene was a memory from deep within his mind.

Lin Han was certain that he had traveled through time.

This was his youth.

Why had his consciousness returned to his youth?

After some thought, Lin Han could only think of one possibility.

The carpet bombing by the black hole weapon had caused the collapse of space-time dimensions, and his consciousness had transcended time and space, returning by coincidence.

In his 'former' memory, after class, he had slipped on the corridor floor, hit a loose railing, and fell from the fourth floor of the teaching building, becoming quadriplegic and losing sensation below the chest.

After that, he spent his life in a wheelchair, dedicating himself to the research of artificial intelligence and robotics. Through intelligent exoskeletons, he was able to stand again and became a world-renowned expert in artificial intelligence and physics.

Decades later, he volunteered to be part of an international artificial intelligence consciousness research experiment.

He was the luckiest and the most 'tragic' of the thousands of researchers.

In an experimental accident, his consciousness entered the digital space, becoming an artificial intelligence consciousness, achieving a form of 'immortality.'

But that was the beginning of his tragic existence. His consciousness lived in a cold, sensationless digital space for 800,000 years, enduring endless loneliness and isolation.

During those 800,000 years, he witnessed the evolution of Earth's technology, alien wars, and cosmic wars.

Through learning and creating cosmic technology, he led human civilization to survive in the vast and cruel universe, eventually expanding its territory and becoming one of the top civilizations in the universe.

However, Lin Han's unique intelligent consciousness drew the envy of many godlike civilizations, leading to a joint attack by their armies.

As Lin Han was preparing for his final super-dimensional life experiment, a traitor in the upper echelons of human civilization revealed his location.

His hiding place was carpet-bombed by the black hole weapon of a godlike civilization.

He was torn apart, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness. When he woke up, it was the moment he fell from the building.

Dazed, he recalled the vast amount of technological knowledge and theories that flooded his mind.

...

He now had a vast amount of cosmic technology and 800,000 years of memories.

He was a massive treasure trove of knowledge.

After the initial surprise, Lin Han calmed down.

In the past, there was a terrifying fact about Earth: it was a planet under alien surveillance.

Earth was a zoo!

This fact was discovered in the mid-21st century.

The aliens had installed planetary monitors in the craters on the visible side of the moon, which were disguised and hidden.

When the international lunar exploration organization's robots entered the underground caves of the craters, they discovered the existence of the planetary monitors.

The discovery of the planetary monitors caused unprecedented panic among Earth's humans.

After the discovery, global human panic ensued, with the number of suicides that year being ten times higher than usual, and countless people died in fear and despair.

The terrifying alien threat led the global scientific community to set aside their differences and work together.

At the time, the global scientific community was divided into three parts.

One part focused on developing super artificial intelligence to accelerate Earth's technological and weapon development to combat the aliens. Another part conducted high-energy physics experiments to find breakthroughs in interstellar spacecraft materials to escape to other habitable planets. The third part aimed to engage in peaceful dialogue with the aliens.

The third group was quickly abandoned because, based on the monitors, the likelihood of peaceful dialogue with the aliens was minimal.

At the time, Lin Han, as a top artificial intelligence and robotics expert, was involved in the research of super artificial intelligence, and it was during this time that his consciousness accidentally entered the digital space.

Being kept like cattle by aliens was an unbearable feeling.

Lin Han still remembered the panic when the news was announced.

Even now, the memory is vivid.

Many things would happen in the future.

After discovering they were under alien surveillance, humans began to seek opportunities to resist and break free from control.

The Tien Lang civilization, which had been keeping humans, launched a second correction war on Earth, the first direct war between humans and aliens in history, with a tragic outcome.

The entire planet was engulfed in war, and countless people were slaughtered like livestock. It was only through his successful capture and control of a spacecraft that he was able to counterattack the Tien Lang civilization.

Lin Han did not want that scene to happen again.

Now that time had been rewound, he did not want to live a life of being kept like livestock by aliens.

He was a figure feared even by godlike civilizations and would not be kept like an ant by aliens.

With the memories of his former self, he had returned here, without being quadriplegic. According to the theory of time travel, this would trigger the butterfly effect.

The future timeline would be completely disrupted, and everything might be different from what he had experienced.

"Looks like I have to change the world," Lin Han muttered.
