God-level Stone Gambler (interstellar)

Done

Chapter 100.4

Editor: Princess

Bai Jing had absorbed thousands of zombie crystal cores over the past year, and was now a level seven supernatural ability user—the only level seven in the world. What’s more he had awakened a rare mental ability.

Thin, white mental power threads extended outward, easily enabling both mental control and mental attacks.

On the second day after awakening his mental ability, he killed a level six wind-type zombie with just a single strand of mental power, leaving everyone present in shock.

Then after killing the zombie, his mental power flicked its pure-white, jade-like tip and wrapped around his wrist coquettishly. The corners of Bai Jing’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile—this scene felt oddly familiar.

That night, Gu Yuanzhao handed him a white ‘energy stone’.

“Ah Jing, this stone originally belonged to you. It contains your mental power, but be careful when absorbing it.”

“Me?”

The teenager’s beautiful, teal colored eyes widened slightly, however when he held it, he felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.

He looked at Gu Yuanzhao, his tone somewhat impatient as he said, “Then I’ll try it now.”

The man raised his hand to gently brush through his hair, his gaze tender, “I’ll accompany you.”

Bai Jing’s slender fingers touched the energy stone, and strands of pure-white mental power separated from the stone, intertwining with his own mental power threads and gradually merging.

He closed his eyes, and suddenly, countless images flooded his mind—

Scenes of him being impaled by a level five zombie, gambling on rough stones, piloting mechas—but most of all, a man in a military uniform, mature and handsome. He was in almost every single memory.

“Gu Yuanzhao…”

The teenager’s long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, whispering the man’s name as if in a dream.

“Ah Jing, Ah Jing, are you okay?”

Gu Yuanzhao’s expression changed. He knelt on one knee beside the teenager, his strong arms resting on his shoulders, wanting to shake him awake but stopping himself when Bai Jing’s eyes suddenly opened.

Those beautiful, teal colored eyes shimmered with light, filled with overwhelming emotion and joy.

Bai Jing suddenly hugged him tightly, his voice trembling against his ear, “Gu Yuanzhao, thank you. Really, thank you.”

Thank you for never abandoning me, even across time and space. Thank you for saving the 16-year-old me.

Thank you for always being by my side. Thank you for loving me.

Gu Yuanzhao froze, “Ah Jing, you—”

Bai Jing sniffled lightly, “Mhm, I remembered everything.”

The man kissed away the tears clinging to his lashes and smiled, “Meeting you earlier is my greatest honor. I’m so happy.”

After that, the two left the third base. Gu Yuanzhao’s spatial ability enabled him to store fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats, enough for them to last over a year.

They sped up the zombie extermination process, and six months later, almost all zombies in C Country had been wiped out.

However, Bai Jing knew that this was only temporary, because so long as zombies existed, the virus would keep spreading.

Based on intelligence he acquired with a high amount of points and his memories from his ‘previous life’, he deduced that the source of the zombies was likely a laboratory in M Country, where there supposedly was a Zero-Type cure serum.

If that were true, then bringing the serum back to the researchers and developing a cure could save the world.

And now, there were less than two months left until his ‘previous life’s’ death date. If that day really arrived, maybe they could return to the interstellar world.

Of course, this was all just speculation.

A silver-white mecha streaked across the sky like a shooting star, racing toward M Country at an incredible speed.

Twenty-four high-energy particle cannons fired continuously, wiping out wave after wave of zombies. Thankfully, the mecha’s energy chamber was equipped with a Level 9 energy box, otherwise, it would have run out of power long ago.

Around the lab, many level five+ zombies had gathered, and even some level eight zombies had evolved. However for these two, it was nothing they couldn’t handle.

Luckily, this was only the third year of the apocalypse, so the zombies hadn’t yet reached their peak evolution.

If a few more years passed, they might become unbeatable.

The two successfully infiltrated the lab’s core, retrieved four vials of the serum, then delivered them to the three major bases and the International Supernatural ability users’ Center personally.

When the anti-virus vaccine was developed, humanity erupted into celebration.

To honor Bai Jing and Gu Yuanzhao, the vaccine was named B&G, and their names were forever etched into human history.

At that moment, however, the two of them were watching the aurora in Antarctica, and less than a minute remained until Bai Jing’s ‘previous life’ death date.

60, 59, 58…

Bai Jing tilted his head, gazing at the stars. The micro-particle flow’s fluctuations grew stronger, and a powerful suction force came from the sky. They entered the mecha, transforming into a silver streak shooting straight into the heavens!

In the instant before losing consciousness, he grasped Gu Yuanzhao’s hand tightly. Their fingers interlocked, as if they would never be separated.

“Ah Jing, are you okay?”

“Mhm.”

Bai Jing opened his eyes. The familiar wormhole appeared before him, and the time displayed on their light brains was exactly one second before their departure from Earth.

It was as if everything had been a dream.

With a soft ‘ding’, both their light brains displayed the latest announcement:

[To all Empire citizens: The Empire will establish diplomatic relations with Earth Civilization. This will be a historic milestone. Everyone, prepare for their arrival as soon as possible.]

Starnet exploded immediately.

[Earth Civilization?! The universe’s top-tier civilization is establishing relations with us!!]

[OMG, am I dreaming?!]

[Our ancestors were Earthlings too. We only emigrated.]

[If I’d known, I wouldn’t have left—]

[I heard Earth Civilization once faced a major crisis. Everyone thought they’d perish, but they survived!!]

[So excited! I want to see what a top-tier civilization looks like!]

[Wait—Earth specifically requested Young Master Gu and God Yun as diplomats?!]

[AHHH! God Yun is the best!]

[Young Master Gu, go for it!!]

Bai Jing’s face lit up with a brilliant smile. He suddenly hugged the man beside him, “Gu Yuanzhao, we did it!”

Gu Yuanzhao wrapped his arms around his slender waist, “Yeah, we did it.”

But what made him happiest was that he had returned to the past and saved that 16-year-old boy.

“Ah Jing, no matter the time or place, no matter what we face, I will always stay by your side—forever and ever.”
