After the short but shocking opening CG played, the UI interface that the game should have finally appeared in front of Wei Xiao's eyes.

【Please select the game mode you want:】

Two completely different options then appeared before him.

[Civilization Will Mode: In this mode, you will play an interstellar civilization that has just entered space. Your will will be carried out unreservedly to the entire civilization. Everything you do will affect the direction of the entire civilization. Please Choose your strategy carefully every step of the way. 】

[Single-player campaign mode: In this mode, you will play a space soldier with a special mission to participate in various dangerous interstellar missions. The success of each mission will contribute to your civilization. For civilization Fight for the future, brave warrior!】

Wei Xiao "Seven Nine Seven" noticed that an additional note was added after [Single player campaign mode.

It says: This mode of the game is extremely difficult and is not recommended for novice players.

As a college student with normal intelligence, Wei Xiao also realized at this moment that this game called [Stars] might be as magical as those previous videos.

After all, in today's era, such realistic virtual reality technology still only exists in people's imagination!

Even if it does exist, there is a high probability that it will be applied to various military facilities first.

The possibility of such a large-scale public appearance cannot be said to be impossible, but it can only be said to be unrealistic.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this is a scam played by the sophon from the Trisolaran civilization in front of him.

But considering that he is not a big influence on the future like Luo Ji and Cheng Xin, Wei Xiao feels that this possibility is not high.

Therefore, no matter how you think about it, this game is probably more than just a [game].

It is very likely that, like the previously released Three-Body series videos, it has some power that is enough to change the future of mankind!

"Want to give it a try?"

Wei Xiao stared closely at the [Single Player Campaign Mode] option, feeling a little hesitant.

Based on past game playing experience, although this difficulty mode is more challenging, the corresponding rewards may also be more!

If, as he guessed, this game has the ability to affect reality, then hard mode should be the most appropriate choice!

"But are there any risks?"

After thinking for a long time, Wei Xiao finally listened to this "well-intentioned" suggestion and chose the less difficult [Civilized Will Mode.

Then, the world in front of him changed, as if he was in a brilliant galaxy.

[Please edit the civilization you will play next. 】

After a brief prompt, images of various alien races appeared in front of Wei Xiao, as vast as a sea of ​​stars.

After seeing those strange-looking alien creatures, Wei Xiao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and then decisively chose the [Earth United Nations] start recommended by the game system.

[In order to match the most suitable civilization characteristics according to the civilization planet you are currently on. 】

[Civilization characteristics have been generated. Players currently have two modification points and can modify some characteristics. 】

Then, a long blue light curtain unfolded in front of Wei Xiao.

[Current Civilization: Earth United Nations]

[Starting time: Human Era Gregorian calendar year 2200]

[The galaxy where civilization is located: the solar system]

[The home planet where civilization is located: the third planet in the solar system]

[Civilized population: 7 billion]

[When there are number of planets: 1]

[Civilization characteristics: materialism, pro-foreign egalitarianism → extreme xenophobia (evolves in a short period of time)]

[Ascension: Not yet ascended]

[Dangerous Technology: No dangerous technology has been mastered yet]

Under the long list of unclear terms, Wei Xiao inevitably felt a little troubled.

"It's just a game, is it necessary to go to such trouble?"

He made a small complaint in his mind.

However, he also knew that this was not just an ordinary game, and this situation was not incomprehensible.

The game system seemed to be aware of his impatience and quickly omitted these tedious steps...

【Do you need to modify it?】

Wei Xiao decisively chose [No].

【Do you want to start the game with the current civilization status? 】

This time he naturally chose [Yes].

Then, a dazzling white light made him close his eyes unconsciously.

When he opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was an extremely realistic space star sea!

The hot and scorching huge "fireball" occupies most of his field of vision. It is the source of life that accounts for 99% of the mass of the entire solar system - the sun!

And around this star that is so huge that it can cause brain damage, planets the size of pebbles are orbiting it year after year.

After re-understanding the star called the sun so intuitively in space for the first time, Wei Xiao suddenly felt that he seemed to understand what the resistance forces in the world of [Wandering Earth] were doing.

Yes, compared with this mother of all things that brings all light, the human beings living on the earth are as small as dust!

How could such a small person dare to predict the death date of such a great sun?!

But his rationality quickly reminded him that in the world of [Wandering Earth], the sun is really dead!

Even if it is an eternally burning sun, will 520 million people burn out one day?

A trace of uncontrollable curiosity arose in Wei Xiao's heart. For the first time, he began to think about the meaning and value of his existence. At the same time, the same questions as all the players who entered this game emerged in his mind.

"Even stars will die one day, so are there really eternal things in this universe?"

Thinking of this, Wei Xiao couldn't help but suddenly think of the title of the third part of The Three-Body Problem that has been debated by countless netizens - [The God of Death is Immortal].

Perhaps, in this vast world, everything will die, and only the [God of Death] can be eternal!

PS: Writing "Stars" was really a spur-of-the-moment idea, and then I realized it was too difficult to write. I will try my best to skip this plot as quickly as possible...
