Starting with Crimson

During the National Day holiday.

Li Qingyu, who was excitedly sitting in front of the computer and playing a simulation game for half the night, suddenly felt the room shake.

click!

Computer screen is black.

"Seriously, they're about to unlock a new move, and they pull this on me!?"

"Why... so cruel!"

Li Qingyu's right hand was clenched loosely, his eyes filled with regret and sorrow... for his lost youth!

"If only I had been faster back then..."

As the computer restarted, Li Qingyu snapped out of his grief.

That shouldn't be the case. Jinghai City has never experienced an earthquake before, yet the power switch tripped. Could it be... that Fatty Wang on the second floor got thrown off again and, unable to bear it, jumped off the building?

After waiting patiently for a while and finding that the building had stopped shaking, Li Qingyu got up, pulled up his trousers, and went to the balcony.

He kicked the husky, who was drooling and fast asleep, away.

Li Qingyu, who pulled back the curtains, suddenly widened his eyes.

Several enormous stars appeared in the night sky, some red, some green, and some white, filling the entire night sky.

The moon is like a grape squeezed into a watermelon, small and helpless.

At this moment, Li Qingyu was dumbfounded.

At this moment, countless people across the entire planet Earth were dumbfounded.

Earth is boiling over!!

...........................

Representatives from various countries held a meeting overnight in the United Nations conference room.

"We are no longer in the solar system; this is an unknown universe, an unknown space."

The US representative held a stack of documents, his face grave.

"The recent disturbance destroyed most of the artificial satellites. The remaining satellites are completely unable to observe familiar celestial bodies."

"Here, it's pitch black."

"In other words, all we have left are the sun and the moon. And even this sun isn't ours; it's too young."

The US representative waved the documents, his tone agitated.

"Besides the sun and the moon, all that's left here is our blue planet and these three planets. Calculations show that these three planets are about the same size as the blue planet, but their atmospheres are so thick that it's impossible to observe their interiors."

"Based on atmospheric color, we can simply categorize them into red stars, green stars, and white stars. You can see for yourselves."

After he finished speaking, the US representative launched the materials.

The Chinese representative took it, didn't even look at it, casually put it aside, glanced around, and remained calm.

"Can anyone tell us... something we don't know?"

"For example... why did Earth come here? Did someone contact an extraterrestrial civilization and reveal Earth's coordinates?"

"At a time like this, there's no need to hide anything."

Upon hearing this, the representatives from various countries exchanged glances, shook their heads, and looked completely innocent, indicating that it was impossible for them to act recklessly behind the backs of their leaders.

Upon seeing this, the Chinese representative nodded.

"Then let's not consider the reasons for now."

"Now, let's talk about these three planets."

The Chinese representative glanced at the representatives of the United States and Mao.

"Only the three of us on Blue Star possess planetary exploration technology. Let's each choose one; we'll choose Red Star."

The representatives from the United States and Mao Zedong exchanged a glance.

"Our Green Star."

"Our team is Shirahoshi."

While nations discussed their exploration plans, most people on Earth looked up at the sky.

In the dark universe, space fluctuates once more.

The next second, a purple planet suddenly appeared.

The five spheres, including the blue star, form a bright pentagram.

................

"Has anyone seen the colorful Kinder Surprise eggs in the sky? I suspect there were mushrooms in the poison I just ate."

"Call 120 quickly upstairs! There must be mushrooms in the poison you ate. It's not a 'Fun Egg,' it's clearly someone undergoing tribulation. This is called the Four Symbols Egg Tribulation."

"Is this the end of the world? Hahaha... I'm so scared, my shoes are all wet."

"Please, please, let the world not end! I have to get up early to work tomorrow!"

"There should be four planets, right? They look so close to Earth. I wonder if they'll cause tidal disruptions, which could lead to global menstrual irregularities."

"The stars in the sky are gone, only the light in your eyes remains."

"Is this a special National Day event? Wow, the special effects are so beautiful! I want to spend money!!"

.......

As Li Qingyu sat on a small stool on the balcony, scrolling through the hilarious comments from netizens, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind, and in the minds of everyone on Earth.

In an instant, a cube-shaped screen suddenly appeared in the sky above major cities on Earth.

Each side of it displays a twelve-hour countdown and an overview of the five civilizations.
